I am 181.4 pounds. That feels good to say.
Thanks to my recent week-long hiking trip, not great food on the trip, and continuing to exercise upon return, I've lost about 5 pounds in about 10 days. Ahh. Now, in the scheme of things, I have a ways to go, but it's a start.
I feel like I've only recently entered the age of the frustrated weight-loss adult...for so many years, I could more o...

The DAPA group now has 98 members and the PMA for dyslexics group now has 14. The total is more than 100 so I have given myself 100% which brings this goal to an end.
Does this mean that I have finished my work of helping people develop a positive mental attitude (PMA). Far from it, the work has just started. Anyway the numbers of people in the groups does not really matter. What matters is how ma...1 Recommendation7 Comments -
When I first joined DS I was looking for the supportive environment that I needed to try to explore my personal problems. At that time member groups did not exist on DS.
I found opportunities to help others and even opportunities for personal growth here but also had some experiences which caused me to mistrust people. What I never found was the supportive protected environment that I needed.

In previous entries I have documented the fact that it seems that just recently that more and more doors are closing in my life giving me less and less opportunity.
At the same time it seems that as a result of my process of self exploration, it feels like more and more windows are opening in my soul.
Today I find that, stuck in the US with a house which is effected by the falling house market...1 Recommendation6 Comments -

The concept of Pure Unconditional Love is probably understood by everybody. Basically it is a love so strong and so deep that we would even lay down our life for that person.
Many people understanding the concept believe that love can never be unconditional.
Other people would like to think they could experience unconditional love, but are afraid to take that step.
Other people deep ...2 Recommendations4 Comments -
Accepting the grace of god into our lives is all about living the word. Not just saying it but living it as an article of faith, which is what of course it is.
All god asks of us are three simple things, but doing these things is the hardest things that we will ever have to do:
That we repent of all our sinsThat we forgive all that was done to usThat we fill our hearts with unconditional love ...3 Recommendations9 Comments -
A Psalm of Life
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!—
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not it’s goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Find us farther than to...1 Recommendation4 Comments -
You’re simply the best,
Better than all the rest,
Better than anyone,
I’ve ever met before,
You’re raised my spirits high,
Kept me going for so long,
Don’t know how I’d get along.
If I didn’t have you as my friends.
A very special thankyou,
To Carol, my sister, my friend,
For keeping everyone updated,
And sending the love, hugs, mojo, messages,
And prayers my end.

Don't you hate this fact? that when a nice guys become so tired of being nice that he becom...1 Recommendation4 Comments
