one day at a time
I had a good day, I went out into Santa Monica as is my usual thing. I went to my fav English pub - had lunch and talked to some people. I walked around a bit and saw a movie. It was a really good movie that I reccomend "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel."
I came home and started to watch some television and then came back to my room where I wanted to journal about things, and the journalling kind of triggered me to self evaluate. I started to face myself and feel not particularly accomplished. I kind of picked at my faults I guess.
I am reminded of what a lot of you have said to me "One day at a time." I realize though I want to feel accomplished and have some self esteem about what I can do - I realize now just in journalling to a crowd who has also been through a heck of a lot that we all ARE SURVIVORS and have had to put up with a tough set of cards. So I am looking into my past for evidence of some good things I have done. I realize too that what tomorrow brings is unknown. I know I need to take it one day at a time, stick with good people and just take care of business. Slowly things will expand and get better.
Hope all of you are doing well.
Peace,
Mark

Some really good advice \"one day at a time\".
Sometimes it\'s one minute at a time!
Sounds like you are doing really good if you are able to get out and talk with people. I heard that was a good movie; glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks SwordDancer. It\'s funny the more I reach out and talk about my struggles the more I realize what\'s going on and though I may not be able to manage myself expertly I am realizing the nature of it. The movie also had a lot of truths in it that were thoughtful and made me pensive. Thanks again. I am trying.
