Structure has been my best friend, as well as my worst enemy. I have to have things written down, somewhere, to gauge what will be going on every week. Otherwise I am like a balloon that is accidentally let go and flies off into the heavens, never to be seen again. I flag certain times during the day for specific activity. I read devotionals, the Bible, do housework, listen to music videos on YouTube, play the piano, sing, take care of people and dogs. I take classes that interest me, and I try to make sure I get out of the house every day. I just recently got my pastoral counselor certification, so I am dedicating this first year to helping and encouraging others any way I can. Pro bono. Actually, I don't see how I will ever get past that little sign I have posted on an antique child's desk, "Therapy - 5cents." It's just what I do. I was miserable and so sad for so long, I will go to almost any length to help someone else not have to go there. I have found some things that work for me, and for others. I would love to share with you. We can learn from each other.
