Getting Unstuck

 So after spending almost a week in gorgeous and extremely dry Denver area, my body had some interesting challenges. I had to give myself a cyst bath and truly haven’t had this happen since I had my babies. I was so sore and stuck that was the only solution. Yes, it’s yucky to talk about, but it’s real. Good news, it worked. I found out that holding things back to protect other people’s feelings isn’t always the best solution. Started following some Christian trauma bloggers and wow. So much I didn’t know. Believe it or not, knowing is helping me heal. Knowing is helping me recognize my triggers and stop blindly reacting. I read the Bible, I listened to the soothing music, but there were these bands tied all around all that destroyed it’s effectiveness. I found myself praying and calming down, before I said anything. Having people walk beside me during that journey, and not walk away, Wow! My old friends just didn’t know what to do. I don’t fault them that. I didn’t know either. It’s not a matter of just saying a prayer and quoting Scripture. I actually had to find the source and keep doing that. I will always be very sensitive, but God can help me use it in positive ways. So conclusion, today may be starting out rough, but there’s joy in my heart. Jesus loves me. Period. He loves everyone. And if you just come as you are, he’s waiting for you. The other stuff…. Jesus always knew what to say. “Go and sin no more.” “Your sins are forgiven.” He could look right in their eyes and say exactly what they needed. How many more people could we reach if Jesus (Holy Spirit) was in the drivers seat. I can’t condone things I believe are clearly wrong, but God is the judge. He has it handled. I only have to do my assignment.

The Fall Keeps Falling

I am running out of good title ideas. Maybe I need to unlock comments again.(: Anyway, I am having a challenge this raining morning. Afternoon now. Yikes! I still feel achy since mt flu shot last week. I can't seem to get anything done. Not even sure where to start. I think there's been an avalanche and I am under it all. If my therapist was here she would tell me to make a list. Somehow magically that will work. I tried to do my vision exercises and my eyes wouldn't coorperate so there something physical. Probably head pressure from the allergies. So herein is the deal. I will try to get a space cleared and then call it a day.

Confessions

I am starting my own blog to reduce my boredom and give me a place to put my thoughts. Recently some people I know put some very difficult words out for all the world to see. I have been chicken to do the same and now I want to set the record straight. I didn't talk to people from high school for over ten years. It seems so silly now. I found out recently that I'm not the only one who grew up in college and beyond. We aren't kids anymore so the past is just that the past. I'll admit some of it I don't want to remember, but we did have some fun times in high school. The truth is something happened to me that I was not at all ready to talk about so I just avoided people. I got married in 1998 to a really great guy I met in college. We were giddy and in love. We decided after nine months of bliss to have a baby. Why not? I was bored and we wanted one. That sounds terrible to say that, but it is true. Boom one month later I was expecting. Three months later Jo...

Ansomnia

Up in the wee hours of the morning, is yet another perk of being bipolar. Yes, that's sarcasm because unlike some, I don't like being like this. I started getting a little more hyper than usual and now I can't sleep. I slept for an hour or two when hubby woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep after. So I wasn't worried about anything, but I was wide awake. Even though I now feel tired, I still don't feel sleepy. It is hard to explain. Well I already took some calm down medicine and that didn't work so I am getting ready to take more. I use it only when I have to, but considering I need to function in a few hours I WILL consider this one of those times. I was excited about started school and I guess maybe I am going through an up cycle. That sort of makes sense since I had a down cycle in the beginning of the summer. I am glad that the cycles are much shorter than they used to be. I remember being tired and having little energy or ambition to do anyt...
