'Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.You are a child of the universe not less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.'
From 'Desiderata' by Max Ehrmann

Thought of the Day: impulsive decisions during working hours are part of my disease. In isolation they may seem harmless but once I start I have no idea where they'll take me. I can't "control and enjoy" impulsivity any more than an alcoholic can control and enjoy his/her drinking.

Good Monday morning,
Checking in.
I was in a bad mood yesterday. Not so much of a coincidence that I didn't exercise.
Basics:
check in; check calendar; plan to plan;reading/affirmation/gratitudes/passion;billing for prior 2 days;emails from prior 2 days;Reading for day:
Decision
Someone
has said that the hardest part of the PA program is making the decision
to follow it. You can do just about anything once you make up your mind
to do it! But the decision has to be firm and it must be the kind of
commitment, which involves our deepest self.
Many of us who are
compulsive procrastinators have spent our lives looking for an easier way to
manage time and not procrastinate. We feel that there should be a magic solution somewhere,
which will enable us to procrastinate and get our tasks done at the same time. Our
first reaction to the PA program is often one of dismay. It seems so
drastic, and we protest that there must be an easier way.
The PA
program is not easy. Life is not easy. Rather than solving the problems
and difficulties in our lives, procrastinating multiplies them. We in PA have
been offered a new way of life. Each of us decides every day - and many
times every day - whether or not we will choose the new life.
May I decide to follow the program today.

Snowed in! My husband did go to work, against my better judgement. I hope he makes it! But my office has permission to work from home yay. I'm still worried that the power will go out due to freezing rain today so I'm going to go ahead and get my exercise and shower done, then lay a fire just in case. But, so far I have power and water so it's good! I did all the dishes and laundry yesterday and have dinner prepared for tonight too.
So - exercise with a video, then shower, then breakfast and todo list.

MY DAY
All those things still not done. Fear through the whole of my body. Fear of being found out fear of letting people down, all to do with money, nothing criminal just, unopened envelopes, unanswerd calls. Lies and deceit.
