tracy-la check in friday april 29
Hi everyone,
Been checking in at a class 3 times a week at 6 am, so haven't been posting my check-ins.
Here's a reading for today:
The time of discipline began. Each of us the pupil of whichever one of us could best teach what each of us needed to learn.
—Maria Isabel Barreno
"When the pupil is ready, the teacher appears." Life's lessons often come
unexpectedly. They come, nevertheless, and they come according to a
timeframe that is Divine. As we grow emotionally and spiritually, we are
readied for further lessons for which teachers will appear. Perhaps the
teacher will be a loving relationship, a difficult loss, or a truant
child. The time of learning is seldom free from pain and questioning.
But from these experiences and what they can teach us, we are ready to
learn. As we are ready, they come.
We all enjoy the easy times when the sailing is smooth, when all is well, when we are feeling no
pain. And these periods serve a purpose. They shore us up for the
lessons which carry us to a stronger recovery, to a stronger sense of
ourselves. To understand that all is well, throughout the learning
process, is the basic lesson we need to learn. All is well. The teacher
is the guide up the next rung of the ladder.
Let me be grateful for my lessons today and know that all is well.

Happy Friday! I'm late checking in but doing ok. Yesterday turned out all right too once I put the bad day behind me and faced forward. Today is the retiree's last day so we had yet another long lunch. This has been a week of parties!
I have watched the royal wedding, been to the gym, done email and todo list and attended a meeting. I was 30 minutes late to work because of the wedding but I figure what the heck how often does that happen?! The afternoon will be divided between my two major projects.

I never knew you did not get your list done. I get tired reading people's to do lists, much less worry or care if they got them done. I can't even remember my list from day to day much less anyone else's.
In OA, everone as their own plan of eating, we do not compare or judge. What works for me may not work for someone else. As with my food, the most important aspect of the program is consistency and maintainence- a way of life. I always could succeed, but I could not maintain.The "star/stop/on off/ way of life does not work for me. I was always thinking of a food plan, etc. Now, one day at a time I found a way to live and food is no longer a problem. One day at a time.
That is why the showing up is so important to me, it is the minimal maintenence in this program. . I don't know if this makes any sense, but if I did not have my "showing up consistency" on PA, I would not even think of owning a dog. After some time in PA, with the showing up consistency, I have the best dog in the world, I just love and enjoy her, when the master is ready, the dog appears.
I am striving to live without the resistence, fears, sabatoge, disorganization, lateness, lost opportunities,etc. a way of life, that fits into the flow of life. It feels like a impossible fantasy, but so did other things.
thanks (vic)
Thanks for the thoughts! I'm really busy, but I wanted to pop in and say thanks.
That's really awesome PA did all those things to you!
Idk, I have been missing the mark alot lately. It's frustrating because I *am* trying, but I'm at my physical limit. And now with a transfer application, I have another extra *thing* to deal with.
I appreciate the thoughts, even though I can't form a coherent response right now! lol
Respect that's what I think
I respect you for having the courage to post your whole todo list. I'm aware that often I don't as I am afraid that I won't finish it so I try to make things easy for myself by asking too little of myself.
thanks (rex) and (jo)
Good to know people are supportive :)
Although I really do kind of do this because people can see. I feel accountable. I want to cross everything off so people can be like "daaamn katia PWNd today" LOL!
And Rex, I never even though of that! I appreciate the respect, though I also do it because if I don't I *will* forget (esp with a small one)and it's great I can access my list with any computer.
Thanks guys <3 Hopefully I get alot done this weekend
(katia)
You are doing the equivalent of two full-time jobs being a student and a single mother - it must be huge! I have only ever done one of these at a time and that was hard enough. I really admire your persistence and hope that your efforts in transferring will make life a bit easier for you in the long run.
re: wondering what people think
We're here for support and encouragement not judgement :) use your daily post in whatever way helps or motivates you.
