I was inspired by my own self-reflection. Yesterday was horrible. For today, I told myself to rest. And that I did. I went outside and sat on a bench and saved a cricket. A little tiny cricket found itself on its back and it was struggling with its little legs to get off its back and right side up. So, I was feeling sad, and alone on the bench.But, it was so helpless, so I took my cane and gently nudged it making sure I didn't squarsh it.Nothing. So then I had to really push it over with a cane. I felt like I was interrupting God's plan in nature.But, it did finally get right side up. It didn't move at first. I think bec. it was so freaked out by the cane and then it hopped away.I was sitting there feeling at odds with myself and a group of people passed me and for a split second a man walked by me and smiled. I half-grinned back. It was meant to be. Bec. after that smile, I felt a little less invisible.I had a lot of cobwebs on the surface level thinking but eventually today I was able to really get in touch with what matters which is that I am committed to this wellness plan that feels so harsh, this physical therapy. Also, since Ted Kennedy died the news has been showing him in different speeches with inspiring quotes from either John F. Kennedy,or Ted Kennedy and I really have mulled over some of their quotes as to how I relate to them. But, yea, I had friends that called today, I had a friend visit,for my rotten PMS he brought some chocolate over and protein as well. I did manage to finish Debs registration to college. We will both be taking an art class on Sat. mornings for ten weeks. And I just really thought about my wellbeing today and I was inspired to express that with a friend and to think through my committments. I do wish more people were responding to my journals but for now it helps me just to write, eventually I plan on printing these out and putting them in a binder as my journal for the year...Good night everyone, Jewel

Jewel, so sorry that you are in so much pain from the PT and running around. I am glad that you got to relect and spend some time alone just to think. Just to think that God put you in that situation with the cricket to let you know you are not helpless but that you could save one of the creatures he made. You are a very strong person and if the PT helps then you must be stronger. I guess they know what is best. But, after a day of PT, you really should relax afterwards and not do too much. Your body can only take so much. Debs should really be thankful she had a good friend like you. I'm sorry if I'm not here for you all the time but I try to keep up with your journals. You are so young and suffer so much. Your outlook and determination makes me feel inspired to keep going on in my own life. Thank you for that. Keep writing your journals, it helps to let things out. Hope you have a great weekend. Love and hugs always, Stella
