Whew! Where did all
the time go again? If you believe you
are “normal” than everything goes as planned, but if you live with a mental
illness it seems that the road is a winding one. And that’s alright. The best thing I learned is that when the
curves come, the speed bumps, and unexpected storms, just be still and start
again tomorrow whenever tomorrow comes.
The most important thing is that you do not give up and return to hiding
under that heavy security blanket.
So, I am still using this amazing alarm thingy for
EVERYTHING!!! When I reflect back on
some years ago working towards recovery success, I am reminded of teaching
middle-school students. It was tortuous
at first getting in front of a room of youth and allow them to be who they were
right along with their insults about
you. However, quickly I learned to adapt
to the role leader and exercising self-control.
It helped me in my recovery to be productive and contribute in a
valuable way. It helped me to show those young
impressionable minds how to respect persons they would have otherwise poked fun
of. In fact, youth tend to poke fun at
everybody so it also helped me learn to brush off those insults and not take it
personally. That was growth for me to move
farther away from dark days.
Now, I am still getting ready to plant some flags on this
site and hopefully do some real catching up over the 4th of July
weekend. Since this is the Independence
Day weekend, We will kick off with a trip to the Small Business Administration
to be sure no one is using that precious name we chose for our business. Then we will file the official Form to
register the business name which will cost $75.00 in Maryland. If you have not decided on a name yet, stick
with your own name right now and avoid frustrations with trying to use Ben
& Jerry’s. For some reason, they
won’t allow that. Hmmm...
See ya soon,
