| Here is a collection of ruminations and whatnot. |
| 1. Remember why you started – what your reasons were. What was the “spark” that got you going, and inspired you to begin on the journey you are on? 2. List all the reasons why you can persevere, and make it to the end so you reach your goal. Remind yourself you have what you need to succeed. 3. Give yourself permission to give up if you choose. That reminds you that it’s you who is in control. You’re choosing to do this as it’s what you want to do. 4. Think of all the reasons why you should persevere – as that will stop you thinking about why you should give up. What are the benefits? What will you gain? How will you feel when you’ve reached your goal? 5. Instead of concentrating on the struggle and the work, focus all that energy on looking for solutions. 6. Recognise success will require some sacrifice. It’s always lots of work, and every winner pays a price. “No pain no gain” is a basic truth in life. -- Tumblr post |
| I hope everybody is up for Monday - a new week and a clean slate for people to write their lives' stuff on. For me, I do not know what my life is going to be like this week. All I can say is that today is the day to focus on and anything that happens tomorrow might be all a bit vague. I have an appointment with my therapist this week so I'll have some time to tell him about how things have been for me since we last saw each other. But that's all right. I'm doing my crewel work as I write here. I've taken it up as a whim and I'm enjoying it a lot. I think that once it's done it will be nice to have it in a frame and put it on the wall. Our walls have been a little bare but there are a few things on it that I want to remove. One of them is a rather ghastly statue of Jesus Christ. He is painted in a brown shade and he has a sad face. There is even a bulb at the end of the statue which I had not figured out why it's there. I went to get the bulb away and threw it out. I do not think this statue is really that good and doesn't depict what I think Jesus should look like. The person who donated it to us was a Filipino woman who wanted us to babysit her daughter who was going to the Uni here for a graduate course. I thought that my silly stepmother was too good to accept this bribe. I want to take this statue away and put something else that looks better. Right now it's making some of my people feel sad. I hope that the Real Jesus Whom I love always will think of this as a way to tell others that His statues and likenesses are made to look like some of these people who look like him but act the opposite. It's after six thirty in the morning. The morning light is dawning later and later in the morning and soon it will be Fall. Then Winter. I am sure that it will all be the same to me. I have no wish to go out these days but for a few trips to some needed places - the usual places where people get their coffee and their sandwiches. We have been trying to get some different recipes on and I've a collection of recipes on blogger if you wish to look at them under Margot's Corner. I hope everyone has a happy Monday! |
