Imagine in your mind a hospital. And then imagine the ER. In that ER picture a man on a gourney hooked up to a heart monitor. On the screen of that monitor look at the lines..they go up and down.... THAT'S LIFE!

Yesterday I felt kinda crappy at first. Today I feel really good. My heart monitor line is going up and down. I am alive!

My fear of talking to people in person is a problem. I am a wallflower. Am I gonna do anything about it? YES! I will go slow and steady. Any forward momentum is good. At least I'm going.

Facing my fears is a recovery project of mine. I face it and conqueor it. I have spent too many years running from my fears and subsquently running from myself. I have the strength and the determination. I will use every ounce of energy it takes to overcome. I am a patient man.

I am walking a path that not many agree with. That's okay, its my path.

I am well today. The morning music has stopped and no voices. Amazing! To tell the truth I'm no sure when I heard a voice. That's good that I forgot because I spent too much time trying to be rid of them and kept my focus on them. I keep my mind active through reading and working around the house.

What did I learned today? Even though the day before was crappy this day is good!



Keep your feet on the ground, the sun on your face and the wind at your back. Live, love, laugh, learn, listen, David

Hey


Hi Dave. It's great the voices and music have stopped, and that you're having a good day. I wish you many more like it.

Webb
