Thank you Pearlharbr, Kenn, and goingtofixME. I did not see/read your responses before my morning journalling entry. I am being obsessive over things I cannot control. Rereading that entry......well, lets just say, I want to be proud of myself and that was not inspiring at all.

Pearlharbr, No you are not being harsh. I need a kick in my pants to get me moving. I appreciate your candor and am going to implement your suggestions - as of today.

Kenn, it has always been a challege for me to DO! I have to change that. I have always wanted to change that, but never have. When I read don't think, just do.....it struck a cord. I cannot just lie back and wait for life to happen. I have to get myself out there. I am going to get out of the house today and do some of the many things I have been procrastinating! Then, I am going to go for a hike today. I have always loved to do that.....I am in upstate New York. It is a great opportunity.

GoingtofixME, I have taken alot of comfort in your story. I thank you for sharing your journey. I know there will be set backs, but it is a great opportunity to improve myself. PMA is so difficult to be consistent with. I do have times when I think, well, this has nothing to do with me....and I will just have to concentrate on becoming a better me. But, come morning or as I am going to sleep. I just want to wallow in self pity. A friend has suggested reading a book titled, Co-dependent No More by Melody Beattie. I am going to go to Barnes & Noble and spend some time just browsing after my hike this morning.

Thank you so much for the support. Today started out as something totally different than what I am going to make it be!
