Can I start Every Day Again?
Sunday, November 8th 2009
... but I am starting each day anew, trying not to drag along the mistakes of yesterday, trying to find ways to encourage, inspire, and support behaviors that will help me forward into a healthier life.Today: Devotional materials said "Put the truth in your spirit and feed, nurture and allow it to grow. Quit telling yourself 'you're too fat, too old, too late, or too ignorant.' Quit feeding yourself that garbage. That will not nourish [you] . . . Speak life to your own body. Celebra...
Back to Divorce Recovery Tonight...
Wednesday, November 4th 2009
My Recovery Group is this evening. Topic: children. I have none, and even the step kids were in their teens when I met their dad. So I'm not sure how much personal relevance tonight's topic will have.I'm in TOM, so I didn't even bother getting on the scale. But before TOM I noticed a loosening of pants waists.

I hope this is the worst phase - so I'm setting forth a happiness grid. Right now at the lowest phase, each phase will take some time, but perhaps by summer I can be pretty high on my scale.Anyway, it seemed something I could use to help envision some brighter days

Better day...
Thursday, October 22nd 2009
Had a divorce recovery group last night - my first. Wow, so many people in so much pain. I guess I'm glad for my own journey, and that I don't have someone else's journey to tread.Remembering that doing the right thing usually makes me feel better, even in the worst of circumstances.
Remembering that I can make choices in any circumstance - no matter how bad.
I'm clumsy, forgetful, inarticulate - in comparison to my "usual" me. But I am so glad for the opportunity to...
