Fighting myself

-
Today I have spent the entire day fighting myself. Beating myself up and calling myself stupid. Maybe if I allow myself one day to do it then I can get it out of my system and put these past two years of negativity and abuse behind me. I am beginning to believe that you can have post traumatic stress after leaving an abusive job as well. I am certainly jaded. I want to be fresh, trusting, and fearless like I was two years ago.

As I was looking at this page I noticed my inspirational messages over on the right side of the page. Both of them were exactly what I needed to hear in this moment. The Ralph Marston post is below this one. It really hit the nail on the head. I need to release this situation after this and simply move on.

The Daily Word read:

Faith
I HAVE FAITH IN THE POWER OF MY THOUGHTS.
Jesus used the metaphor of planting seeds to explain the power of our thoughts. He taught us to pay attention to the seeds we plant. I examine the seeds I nurture. Do I choose “weed thoughts” of doubt, fear, anxiety, and worry? Or do I plant seeds guaranteed to produce love, peace, and prosperity? I choose healthy seeds. I have faith in the power of these seeds—affirmative thoughts—to reliably produce what I desire.
I choose seeds of compassion, love, and kindness. I deny the power of weed thoughts as I affirm and declare God is my source of wisdom, greater than any situation in my life. I reflect my faith as joy, health, and prosperity. My life blooms like a beautiful summer garden.

I have good advice and sound wisdom; I have insight, I have strength.—Proverbs 8:14

Goal Setting

-
Had my goal setting meeting with bosses. We are keeping the same goals as last year. I will still casually browse around for a job, but I feel relatively confident that I am safe - for now. Now, my goals for the summer include but aren't limited to: Get my apartment deep cleaned and redecorated Clear out storage unit Travel (even if locally) Take lots of photos: Do a neighborhood project where I shoot different blocks and neighborhoods each day.  Go to Brooklyn - a lot! Go to lots of free concerts Score lots of rush tickets to see Broadway shows Hit the gym, swim, walk, and bike Write, write, write! Get to one of those Korean spas I keep hearing about Stay on top of my pedicures and massages Watch plenty of sunrises and sunsets Get back to living a clean life Rediscover joy Go to the beach - a lot! Laugh - a lot! Get my finances in order Catch up on the magazines that have piled up Catch up on the books that have piled up Takes lots of relaxing baths Have f...

My baby has crossed the rainbow bridge

-
I know a few of your have been lurking here for years. So you know that I had a sweet little fur baby who I loved very much and who has moved with me from city to city since I've had her. It is with much sadness that I must report that my sweet girl was put to sleep to on Monday. She was getting up in age and had several medical conditions that warranted putting her to sleep. Her quality of life had deteriorated and I was no longer able to care for her the way she needed to be cared for. Her vet wanted her put down a while ago but because I have my issues with grief and abandonment I wasn't ready. I think getting therapy for the short time that I did was helpful with getting me over the hump to move forward. I know it was the right thing to do and she went so peacefully that it helped me know that I made choice.  I miss my girl. I look for her because we have never been apart for long periods of time. There are people who don't understand the connection that humans have to ...

Took a break

-
I have been so busy trying to keep all of the balls in the air. Then I got sick. I haven't been this sick in a while. My allergies turned into an upper respiratory infection and I am still coughing as I try to clear out my bronchial passages. I've also started juicing to help support the recovery and have lost 15 lbs. I haven't had much of an appetite, so I drink fresh juice from the juice bar to keep my energy up. I could definitely keep this up for a while then transition back into a pescaterian diet. Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
