I have learned to keep my focus on a daily basis because trying to find the solution to the big picture comes from baby steps. I have survived a little of a break down in order to be stonger for my daughter. I did come home early to take the pressure off of my daughter which is okay because I am ready to start over agaim and work on the problems at home. I just needed to be reminded to deal with things on a daily basis which is what I needed and also took time out to deal with some more pressing issues. I need to write more often to put my worries at rest. I just needed time to write a letter in a quiet atmosphere in order to gain the strength to do what needed to be done. I am not fully out of my manic phase which is okay because it will take a while for the meds to kick in. I gave out many new and refreshing ideas and also voiced my opinions on how the place can hopefully change their ways a little bit. I am more confident that I can deal with things now than when I went into respite. I took time out for me in order to prevent going into the hospital. I have helped others in my struggles and gave some advice when it was warranted. I love the fact that I meet new and interesting people in places like that and it does me good to deal with some folks being around. I love the fact that I gave new group ideas and helpful hints to the workers. I wish every place I went I could help at least one person and that would make me feel great. Well it is time to go for now.

That is a great philosophy. Take everything at your own pace and definitely keep writing.....
