Journal Entry for January 27, 2008 Mood
Sunday, January 27, 2008

New week begining . Last week was very tough physically. SHoulder pain still remains, maybe I need a second surgery opinion. Maybe I just need to deal with it. Not sure Either way, I am sure the continued cold weather hasn't helped and my motivation to work out has been at a low . Just want to conserve the energy to get thru the weeks. Warmer weather is ahead and I will take one day at a time.

  The hours of total darkness are ever so slowly getting shorter and the dawn is starting to come earlier each day.  This seem to have a correlation to how I view the journey of myself at this point. With each new day, I am gaining a greater amount of closure to the darkness of my life. In addition my light is slowly replacing the darkness of thought and spirit that has enclosed me the last few months....

  I cannot remember how I found this DS site, but know that is it was  my Higher Power that led me to it. I have found friends to ask for help and strength from. It has always been difficult to reach out and ask for help due to all the past disappointments from so many people in my life. Nontheless, when a life perserver appears while drowning, who can be question the reality of making a choice and grasping it .

  The journey continues......

    You are an inspiration and you have given many of us laughter and beautiful words to help us know that we are not alone. None of us have to be alone as long as there are places like DS and kind people like you!
