9 October, 2012 - 5:38am - Mole

In this work, when it shall be found that much has been omitted, let it not be forgotten that much likewise is performed.

 Samuel Johnson (preface to dictionary 1775) 

 

May we give some thought to all that we have achieved.....

RisingUp - 10 Oct 2012 - 5:39pm

Today was the 2-year anniversary of my blood transfusion. I'm really upset that my life is in the state it's in since then. I really thought by now things would have turned around for the better, but in fact, things got much worse since then.

I'm asking God to heal my broken heart, all the emotional wounds of the past 2 years and prior, and fill my body with new life energy. I lost so much, had so much taken from me, and I need you to make me new and whole again, in every area of my life. 

I doubt that I'm any healthier now than I was when hospitalized then, mostly because of lack of money and too much stress, causing poor lifestyle. 

So, since you handle the impossible, Lord I'm telling you that I have reached impossible, the end of myself, and in keeping with Step 3 I turn my will and life over to your care. Amen. 

praying for you lavida

Please God help me get thru this day. hour by hour.

2:23

step 1 : dont feel guilty about all the inaction and wrong choices and bad time management and lack of discipline so far today.

step 2 : make a plan for what i have left in the day

10pm

i did step 2. I worked on to MIT's at work.

I did another clean up task that was not-MIT. But i think it will help my group. And help me next time. Borderline.

Now i have to finish ML-r and then go to bed at 11. I doubt i will have the courage.

10:05

i think god gave me a plan. go to bed with something to read. and eat, altho i know that's not healthy. it gets me to bed. and tv to go to sleep to. I think all that will do it for me today.

21.33 update

jay - 10 Oct 2012 - 3:38pm

today was a cpmplete washout, was tired cold amd ill. had to go to bed and fell asleep for a few hours, now i'm feeling negative, i know i must pick up. i also know that i was ill due to day's of eating very little, this putting off eating is all of my procrastination.

so far in my day's plan i have just put 'eat' sheduled around other things, well maybe i should reverse that

i have been been very under weight in the past through not eating properly

i need to release my anxiety around food, the last couple of years i havn't eat well pruely because of poverty, it's heat or eat and little else.

  Thanks mole! up
