What's your purpose today?

So in keeping with my therapists plan for my oh so glamorous life... I'm trying to come up with a daily goal/purpose.

My purpose today is to be a good fellow man, to take care of myself and existence for existence sake.


What's your daily purpose? Not just a goal, but more of a meaning I guess.

Today, I plan to suck it up and try to contact my docs. I know that sounds like a small step. For me, it's a big leap of faith. I do not trust my pdoc as far as I can throw her, but I've gotta try something. Understand that I am seriously afraid of all medicaI situations.

But I need a little peace before I can do anything positive with my life. So peace is what I will be seeking today and this week, month, forever would be great.

I will be seeking the strength to talk to my pdoc and make him understand my thought process is off a bit. I will not allow him to make me feel scared or inferior. I will get the help that I need for myself to be a better person, a more stable person.

My purpose for today as well as my meaning of life is to enjoy the In And Out hamburgers that they are serving for free today.

I know, it is a very profound goal.

Today I am being kind to myself. I finished the last major project for grad school this term; I had great difficulty getting started on it. I did the presentation last night, so today, I am just being kind to me (and others), drinking my hot tea and listening to the birds singing outside (warm enough here to have my windows open!).

To find the joy in being outside again and to just relax.

If it wasn't for all the spring spiders...this would be alot easier I think!

Today's purpose is to not run screaming from the room.

Not a lofty goal, but it's all I got today. Sometimes it really is the little things.

try to do something, at least one thing a day, to lift my daughter up, to instill something positive of beneficial in her life.

To be her friend, but first her mother.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
