I'm thinking I didn't do much Wednesday. Maybe I'm wrong and am not giving myself enough credit. Hmmm...
1. I got back on track a bit in therapy.
2. I made the kids' lunches.
3. I watched a good show on the Smithsonian Channel.
4. I read a little.
5. I chatted with someone I haven't chatted with in a while. That was nice.
6. I didn't really do any more than that. I feel kind of bad about it. Like I must be lazy or too dysfunctional. I have things I need to do. Maybe Thursday and Friday. I can hope.
Can relate. The cruelty is, I have enough energy for stuff I enjoy doing, but my life seems to be devoid of them at times.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I was in bed all day. I was in pain. Got up at 5:30PM. Don't sweat it.
ReplyDeletethat was three more things than I did. lol...
ReplyDeleteDon't punish yourself for the things you didn't get done. Life isn't about rushing through everything to see how much you can get done. That is one way that you can use to deny or ignore what you are feeling. Being present in the moment is the most precious gift that you can give yourself. It is something that I had to learn how to do. I used to have to do everything perfectly and be there for everybody but myself. I don't do that as much any more. Have a glorious day unless you choose to do otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty good list - take credit for the stuff you did right and move on! :) BTW - what was on the Smithsonian Channel?
ReplyDeleteHi, Amanda. Yup. Sometimes it's like that.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better, Paul.

PS - Thinking and commenting about my activity level is not punishing myself. Sometimes life IS about what needs to be done. I have a husband, three daughters, and a son. They all depend on me for certain things. It's called adult responsibility. There was a lot of work to be done in the present moment (at least the one that existed in reality), so I chose the present moment that existed in my head instead because I was tired. A glorious day unless I choose to do otherwise? There is a lot I can say about that, but I will simply say that people do not choose everything that is contained in their reality. Instead of clicking over to your site, I'm gonna play a guessing game with myself. You are single, no kids, 'spiritual', consider yourself healed in spite of telltale signs of disturbance which you have 'chosen' to exclude from your reality. Don't comment here anymore. I don't like people who have been brainwashed by philosophies that were fed to them by some therapist or delusional group of Pollyannas. Especially when they try to apply that white wash to me.
Hi, Lawyerchik. It was a show called Sky View. The topic was the Tudor Age. I think it's a new favorite.
Whats the Smithsonian channel?
ReplyDeleteHi, Kahless. It's nerd TV. :-)

Sounds like a pretty good day to me! Don't be too hard on yourself. Hey, that getting back on track a bit with therapy is worth at least two or three other items, dontcha think?
