Scribbler: Checkin and Wreckin
Planning to destroy my to-do list today. Well, maybe. Lot of question marks. I still have three boys still asleep after a very late night playing video games. Have to get them back home at some point. Have a new assignment with a short deadline to get underway, and I have to do something about this poison ivy. I tried a highly recommended over the counter remedy last night, with no discernible effect. So maybe a doc-in-the-box today for a steroid shot. Anyway:

Journey 9 am & update!
Drove my mom's old car this morning since mine's in the shop. 96 Crown Vic. It's a sweet ride.
I seem to be getting a slow start this morning . . . I'm feeling sorta vague and spacey this morning. (evidenced by posting this on yesterday's thread to start with!) *snaps out of it*. Back with todo list shortly.
WOOT! Just logged on to NEXTMD to get the results of yesterday's chest X-ray, and no more pnuemonia! Back to the gym on Monday . . of course I'll take it slow to start with.

Vic 7/9
Show up (done) Loved the starter, so friendly, makes me "want to show up"
Read a good definition of the word "responsibility" . That word is not one I use for myself because it brings up too much shame. I use he word consitency instead of disipline. I do not have a sustitute for the R word, however by daily showing up I am definitely regaining my ability to respond.
"In order to turn your issues around, you have to take RESPONSIBILITY.
What does it REALLY mean to be responsible? A person who is responsible has the ABILITY to
day is not determined solely by what
RESPOND. In other words, if you take
response-ability for your procratination, then your
happens; it's also determined by how you RESPOND to what happens. A responsible person is not a victim to their
circumstances. How you respond to circumstances today WILL determine your circumstances tomorrow. Youcan turn sour grapes into a fine wine. Progress not perfection. I am not where I want to be but I am not where I was.
Viktor Frankl
that reminds me of what Viktor Frankl is famous for writing. He survived the nazi concentration camps and witnessed the worst of what human kind has to offer, but also, at times, the best of what human kind has to offer.
And he wrote that other people can take a great deal from you, but they can never take away your choice of how to respond.
