Looking out of my window
I can see a magnificent full moon,
and I like to think of you all seeing it
as the earth rotates
and welcomes you to a new month.

RisingUp Check-In 3/1
Well I overcame the depression, but now I feel a cold coming on. Woke with scratchy throat. Slept the entire morning away. Feel very weak. I wish I weren't so sensitive to stress, but it takes me a long time to recover from it.
I felt so motivated to work finally late last night. Wish I woke up feeling better so I could keep the momentum :(
I may have to accept that I won't work until late afternoon or tonight even. I am just not feeling good physically. Feels like I need more rest. Oh well.
I need to wear the full armor of God today. Ephesians 6:10-17.

Woke up to another sunny day in California, for which I am feeling grateful.
I sent off an incomplete chapter to my supervisor yesterday and I am proud I did it. I am trying to remember that "the good dissertation is the one that get's written", instead of being afraid to share myless than perfect work.
Today I have some things to do before going away this weekend (planning for it to be guilt-free!). My aim is to get in four hours of pomo work today.
Feeling better than I have in quite a while.

It's been 3days 15h 33min since i last relied on self, as far as i can tell. There could be deeper layers that God has not revealed to me where i rely on myself.

It's been 3days 16h 06min since i last relied on self.

It's been 3days 19h 49min since i last relied on self. I feel confident and capable, so i am in danger of selfish pride, rather than the guilt i am usually in danger of.

It was very hard to stay focused on my project today, esp as it got later and it looked more and more like i would not finish in time. I did not, in fact, finish in time. But i stayed focused, stayed on task. I had to give the task to God several times, esp, as it looked less and less promising. Give the results to god, and do it as a task for god, not for any results, and not for myself. This accomplished for me the following:
AKA i could see that i got 80% of it done, so i was only 20% disappointed, instead of my usual missing the task by a small percent, and feeling like a total failure.
