  • 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...

  • New Hope

    Monday, July 21, 2008 | A Positive story

    Monday, July 21, 2008 – 6:50 P.M.
    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...

  • Getting Better

    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 ...

  • Goal Update

    Tuesday, September 2, 2008 | A Positive story

    I've been doing pretty well with my goal. I am definitely not sleeping as much as I used to and on top of that, I am trying to fill the time that I used to sleep with activities, even if it is just cleaning up around the house.
    The be more active part of my goal is also picking up. This was hard for me at first, as I tend to isolate from people in general and I feel most comfortable by myself....

  • it aint the closets

    Sunday, November 16, 2008

    i do a lot of cleaning lately. and it reminds me that like our homes 'are so' like the place our soul rests.it sure doesnt take long  for junk to pile up.a lot of stuff we keep we really dont need..its just our stuff and ocasionally we look at it or move it aside.but we really dont need it..it takes up space and when cleaning it makes it a lot harder.instead of getting rid of it we w...

  • I will watch you die

    Tuesday, December 16, 2008 | A Positive story

    I search the night
    Watch me die by day
    My blood is cold
    You started the war
    I’ll show you gore
    Your guts will hang as I rip you apart.
    You think you are at one with me  
    My mind has changed
    I feel only hate  
    I have no intention of love   
    I will watch you die 
    Don’t be friend me 
    I am no friend  
    I am here to kill
    I feel at one I am im...

  • southern song in the air

    Wednesday, February 18, 2009

    every time i tried to go home, the tall slender  woman with beautiffi; dark skin  and her wide  smile would look at me with a charm in her eyes, i would wait, walk back in forth in that little glass room, stareing out the window to the world i was thinking of leaving. i  saw people all moveing to the same song, music, filled the air, no one in pain, they worked,to th...

  • A Brotherly Visit

    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...

  • Las Vegas Here I Come!

    Monday, September 28, 2009 | A Positive story

    Monday, September 28, 2009 - 6:20 P.M.
    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...
