A HAPPY SUNDAY TO ALL!!
B"H I got to join in Rabbi/Dr. Fish's conference call, unfortunately I got to join about 22 min. into the call, so when i got on I was a little lost. i hear it was recorded, and I hope to get my hands on the mp3 file to hear what I missed. The end of the call had some cool meditation excersize, which was very helpful. The relaxation also paid off in other ways, like relieving my worn muscles after all the digging out we Eastern Sea-Borders had this weekend.
Funny thing, DC had asked me to do a mini-inventory (that's a 4th & 5th Step thingy for you plebes) and have it ready to speak to him on Sun. Then it snows over 2 feet, so there's no time to have it ready for when we had planned. Last time, which was for the ACTUAL 4th & 5th Step work in the middle of our 12-Step program call, it ALSO snowed over 2 feet the night i was supposed to finish preparing my worksheets, preempting my ability to be ready for our 5th Step appointment.
I asked DC NEVER to ask me to do Step 4 & 5 again. I'm afraid of making a chazakah!!
I was down & out on friday, as you can see it prompted my last post. I tend to be too hard on myself. DC, as usual, had great advice: If you can't be happy or have a positive attitude right this second, then FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT. So i did, and it worked. in fact, a good friend of mine who is a psychotherapist, asked me Leil Shabbos why i was in such a good mood, and i answered him "cuz i'm faking it till i'm making it!" He laughed more than i did.
I'm still gonna keep to this thread, even tho i am SOOOOOO tempted to pop in EVERYWHERE, cuz I'm determined to stop making excuses and to focus on my work and a few directions of improvement. So MOMO, SB, HB, BH, OL, HABA, IT25, BARDY, RAGE, TG, SCI-whenever, STEVIE-C, YDDLE, YCHIDA, 2B, and all you other assorted nuts & bolts, please know that i am DAVENING for your success and continued growth b'ruchniyos (and Gashmiyos). You know where to reach me if you need me, here or via PM.
Hang in there, and as IT put it so nicely, I WUV U. All of you.
