Today I feel a tiny bit more like my old self.
Small steps but I washed my car (did a horrible job) but I did it. I will try to do a little bit everyday in the hope of regaining my old self. After washing the car and my patio, I am now shaking so badly just like if I had run the marathon, ah well, small steps...... I will keep on trying even if....I am so scared, still paralyzed but moving a bit....small step in the right direction hopefully.... |

This is going to sound even more stupid but I finally washed my bedroom window that I have been looking through for at least a month now and it was full of spider webs, etc...it has been bothering me for a while now and just washing it makes me feel better....how low can you get when just washing a few things makes you feel better???? but somehow I am going to continue with these small steps and maybe that is the way to go.... At this point I will try anything....

That's great
 Washing/cleaning stuff gives an incredible sense of achievement to me, too. Especially after a long period of not moving a finger housework-wise... Keep up the good work

Symbolically, what you've done are almost archetypal chores. Cleaning the car: Making the mode of traversing your world (inner and outer?) more pleasant. Cleaning the patio: Clearing the way back into your own home (consciousness?). Washing a window: Clarifying your (inner and outer) view of the outside world. You should be proud of yourself. You done good. |

((idontknow)) ...one small step at a time is all we can do! It's all any of us can do but count each small step as a major achievement! I do coz I know for me it is!
Peace to You, Julia xox |

  Not to be redundant or trite, but:"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Lao-tzu (Chinese philosopher 604 BC-531 BC) A little or a lot, progress is progress.

I got one thing done the other night and felt really good about it. My hope was to get three things done, but even one was better than none. So I get it. It helps some. Great job getting several things done. That's a lot of work.

Today I went to my T and had a good session and then visited with my daughter and I believe I was able to support her through problems she is having, I was able to comfort her without freaking out, a great victory for me. One step at a time, one minute at a time, one day at a time I will keep on trying.

Good on you!
That's all any one of us can do. At least that's how I do it. And sometimes I have to remind myself it's just in the "TRYING" on some days - I try but don't succeed as I wanted, but that's okay too, at least I tried.
__________________
 I'd rather have a visit, note or pretty picture than an "I'll say a prayer" or a "god bless you." Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure. Can't stop you from praying and blessing me, and if that makes you feel better feel free. But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me. And let's all respect each other's feelings. With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
