  • My Music

    Wednesday, April 2, 2008

    I'd like to talk a little bit about how music has affected my life. Music lets me escape my reality and enter a world where I am loved and the world is a beautiful place. I am taken away by my music and feel the love the person singing a love song must have felt while writing the song. I don't just hear music, I feel it, for me it is an emotional experience. Not just with certain songs bu...

    My sister (Alice) and I had a very good session with my therapist (Dale) at the mental health clinic today.  I now believe that Alice understands how important it is for me to have close family ties. I am sure that both Alice and Dale realize that I am having a great deal of emotional pain because my brother (Lee) and I are no longer close to one an...

    Thursday, August 21, 2008 | A Positive story

    Thursday, August 21, 2008 – 6:40 P.M.
    Somehow, I seem to have underestimated the value of my psychologist. When I went to see her yesterday, I had a list of three or more things that were bothering me. They were increasing my depression daily.
    The answers she gave to my concerns were so simplistic that I did not see why I had not figured them out myself. I had been worried about my niece ...

  • Good Days Happen

    Tuesday, June 17, 2008 | A Positive story

    Tuesday, June 17, 2008 – 7:20 P.M.
    I saw my physical therapist today for an evaluation and treatment on the severe scoliosis. The first day of traction went nicely. My therapist gave me traction manually because she wanted to see how my body would react to it. Within less than an hour, my level of pain went from eight down to a two. She said that was what she wanted, and would continue tha...

  • Keep Moving Forward

    Tuesday, July 15, 2008 | A Positive story

    Tuesday, July 15, 2008 – 10:05 A.M.
    A few months ago, I came up with the term “keep moving forward” in something I wrote. As the days and weeks wore on, I found myself saying this repeatedly. I now consider it a slogan because it describes the way I want my life to go, both in easy and hard times.
    Now that a day has passed since my unpleasant conversation with my physical ther...

  • Las Vegas Here I Come!

    Monday, September 28, 2009 | A Positive story

    I seem to have been slowly running out of energy during the last few weeks. When I first got up in the mornings, I usually felt good, but by the latter part of the day there was nothing left in me.
    Going to bed at 9:30 at night, and then watching television for another two to three hours before actually turning the TV off, may have had something to do with...

    Friday, August 14, 2009 | A Positive story

    Friday, August 14, 2009 – 9:25 A.M.
    Yesterday was one for the books. Based on the way things went Tuesday and Wednesday, yesterday could have been bad, but it turned out to be okay. I could actually say that it was good, but I don't want to ruin my reputation by admitting that I really do have a positive side now and then.
    My brother came to see me during the morning. He got here arou...

    Monday, June 29, 2009 | A Positive story

    Monday, June 29, 2009 – 10:30 A.M.
    I managed to stick to my plan yesterday. Resting came easily, and I even got to do some much-wanted reading.
    During the afternoon, my brother called. That gave me a real shock. He said he was concerned and worried about all the problems I'm having, and wanted to know what he could do to help me. He did not accept my standard "nothing" reply...
