As I was lying in bed recovering from surgery a couple of days ago, I noticed that I was feeling more miserable than I had been before. My back hurt from being in bed so long. I was bored. I was judging myself for my lack of activity. I was lethargic […]

Due to my refusal to dwell on negatives, I can see where many people who don’t know me (and perhaps even a few who do) might think that I have this depression thing licked. Without putting any real energy on it (and thereby breaking my own boycott) I will tell you that, to this […]

I’m not sure how (or even whether) placing emotional judgments of any kind on all of this will benefit me or my future goals, but I’m finding that those judgments come up for me anyway. So I may as well share them.
I am disappointed that I did not do everything I said I would […]

Okay! Time to put a dent in my goals. The first one I listed in an earlier post was this:
Review my Declaration of Commitment for 2006
I had five listed goals for the year of 2006. Let’s see how I did.

Lose 107 pounds.

Over the course of the year, I went from weighing in at […]

I’m having a heck of a time putting together posts for my Goals theme this month. I think it’s because I’m so busy right now that the idea of pinning myself down with more commitments feels overwhelming, and putting off commitments until the first of the year seems like a cop-out. I’m not […]

I’ve had a really tiring day.
When I came to write my gratitude list today, this was my “Message For You”

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.

It’s time for me to sit down and go […]

I’m getting some great feedback from 6′ on my Intention posts! I’ll bring out bits and pieces of it here, but the whole thing is worth the read.
He made a lot of points, but I think a good place to start was his answer to my question: How did happen? (That being the Royal […]

Two weeks.
It’s been two weeks since I started work on a suitable reply to 6’s second tacit challenge. From your perspective, it probably looks like inaction, but I assure you, I’ve been writing up a storm. Just nothing that’s in any real readable form yet.
What I realized during this process is that intention is a […]

Actually, I started feeling better last night. I’m still very concerned about the little bird, but I did some things to make me feel better, and it worked! Here’s what I did.
First, I tried playing a video game. But it was one that I was relatively unfamiliar with, and I wasn’t having any […]
