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.

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
