My friend swears she got carpel tunnel from it the first week! But I'm down for painting, that sounds great.<BR/><BR/>Surergrrl, I used to go to the beach every weekend. So relaxing, me, a cup of coffee and the journal - got to get back to that.<BR/><BR/>thesleepycat, ooo, you busted me girl! Yes, I sometimes delete entries. I guess, I really want to keep the focus on getting out of depression without being all depressing. But sometimes, a few days have gone by with nothing to write so I post something ridiculous and wonder later - does it really belong here? Will someone new not get the mission of the blog? Maybe I need to just relax a bit, huh?<BR/><BR/>hope&laughter, I so get your comment. But my new thing is, IT'S SO GOOD TO CRY. It's the only way to release the bad stuff. If we keep the ick in us, it festers and grows. Get a journal, it will change your life. Seriously, like a Mead Black & White $2.00 Composition notebook.<BR/><BR/>Eri, your comment is soooo why I do this and it pushes me on, thank you.<BR/><BR/>CrustyBeef, may I say, your handle makes me crack up with laughter, it's so awesome. I MUST KNOW THE STORY behind that!!! Online is awesome, a great way to connect with people and not feel self-conscious. I totally tell you guys things I would never tell my friends or family.<BR/><BR/>cl-pooh, the scrapbooking thing is right on. I once met a writer who said the best creative ideas come to him when he is building model airplanes. I think it's something to do with engaging one side of your brain so the other side can come to you more freely. Or maybe I just made that up.<BR/><BR/>THANKS FOR ALL YOUR AWESOME COMMENTS.adventure grrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09154153555230218062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-30541180542682204332008-02-18T14:26:00.000-08:002008-02-18T14:26:00.000-08:00The last time I had a massage was 2002.

I don't have the money for it now... but I found that scrapbooking lets me lose myself in something other than having more bills than money, needing to find a new job, helping my mom get her sister back home, etc.<BR/><BR/>I am like surfergirl in that I hot-foot it to the ocean with a stack of books and just watch the ocean move.

One of the best ways to do that is make sure that you have one of of those super gay, jump and dance around the living room songs (CD, Ipod, radio whatever) and play is loud!! I use the Ipod so it can me super loud and you can completely tune everything else out. Literally dance around the house like you don't have a care in the world. It will always cheer me up. I can't help but smile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-2003156764711996562008-02-18T06:04:00.000-08:002008-02-18T06:04:00.000-08:00I found you by way of Dooce and LOVE IT!!I usually...I found you by way of Dooce and LOVE IT!!<BR/><BR/>I usually sit on here and write. I write until my fingers can't take the assault on the keyboard.<BR/><BR/>I drink coffee and overthink, and perhaps for me it's the online time that helps me mediate.<BR/><BR/>Having three boys, being stuck at home, (by choice) and starting to think I need to go BACK on some type of antid's,..I couldn't agree with you more on the spending thing. Although 5 days away in a spa sounds delightful, the issues of home will be there when she returns, if she has any issues..you are wise to adapt yourself in positive form in your usual surroundings. <BR/><BR/>I'll be back for more, and I hope you don't mind, but I'll be adding you to my A LIST BLOGGERS!!<BR/><BR/>Congrats!<BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Crustybeef~<BR/>Did I just say Congrats?

I did this morning, and read all of your 2008 posts. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us. I know it must take a lot of courage to open yourself up the way you've done. You're the rope I needed to pull myself out of myself this morning. Thank you, and keep it up!!!!

The only time I'm ever alone is when I drive. It's slightly scary to be driving and crying to the point can't see the road, stop sign, red light. But trying to mature and get a move on with life, cuz I"m working at tortise speed here maturity wize. SO took a yoga class to hlep with the constant stress I have. It helped let me work thru my thoughts and now I look forward to driving alone with my thoughts. yes I still cry but not alwasy now.

I can't even think of the other things going on in my life because I trying to keep my guide finger up in the air and trying not to shot put the ball at the same time.

If I let go of that pattern, I get cranky and tense *very* fast. It's much easier just to zonk out on the couch with reruns, but it sucks your soul.<BR/><BR/>The BF and I also recently purchased a Wii - and the physical aspects of the games can be a lot of fun. :) Some healthy competition never hurt anyone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-72813303662339658352008-02-16T16:00:00.000-08:002008-02-16T16:00:00.000-08:00Thanks for putting it in perspective for me.

I read Eat, Pray, Love and thought it was a great book, BUT I also thought..Crap, I can't afford inner peace!. <BR/>So as part of MY revolution, I'm going to be alone with my thoughts at least 3x a week. It doesn't sound like much, but sitting quietly with my thoughts is as scary for me as watching "Halloween" out in the woods by myself. <BR/>Thanks (as always)for the boost!RadoMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193534599156362382noreply@blogger.com
