    Wednesday, October 15, 2008 | A Painful story

    I was adding a goal about going back to playing my piano again when this though came up. I have stopped playing piano because of the pain. And I have just not been able to get back to it.

    Thursday, September 3, 2009 | A Painful story

Lately my thoughts have been turning to death and I am trying hard to focus my mind on positive things because I know that usually works for me. But lately it has been harder to do.
    The OCD is stirring up s...
