thankful

November 27, 2008 – 3:51 pm

Happy Thanksgiving! There are all kinds of profound or sentimental things to be said on Thanksgiving. After all, there is a lot of uncertainty around the world this year and horrible things continue to happen every day. I forget sometimes, but I am truly grateful for all that I have – which is really far [...]

a last wish

November 26, 2008 – 11:28 am

Embedded video from CNN Video Made me wonder what would be my last wish? I don’t know. I just don’t know. What makes him sad? People who give up. Let’s make it a point to never give up.

haven’t forgotten

November 22, 2008 – 3:15 pm

My week was a little upside down and I’m just getting around to trying to write about my happiness project. I called myself happiness-focused earlier this week and while it might not be the best description, it is more or less where I’m trying to be. I can’t keep dwelling in the how and why, [...]

irrational fear #73

November 21, 2008 – 12:06 am

Today I went to see the surgeon to schedule the date for my lap-band surgery. I’ve been totally stressing about this for the past week or so. I’ve floated a few ideas about why I was feeling so stressed but, while they touched on some issues, nothing really felt right. It came to a head [...]

outside my window, top floor

November 18, 2008 – 12:19 am

Dad took an interesting picture of some clouds today. He used to be in the weather service so he knows all that technical cloud stuff – this is an apparently rare phenomenon. The light hits the edge of the cloud just right to illuminate the ice crystals like this. Whatever it is, it’s right pretty. [...]

outside my window

November 14, 2008 – 4:46 pm

I waited until I actually got the Petee calendar – I was really very pleased with the quality of the calendar. Some of the photos were better than others but I expected that. I didn’t have 12 photos of Petee that I really thought were good enough. Still, it’s good and I know Mom will [...]

good enough

November 14, 2008 – 3:54 pm

I have begun to feel a little pressured to be “happy” these days. I don’t want to wallow in depression. I want to move forward. Here I am world – on my path out of the swamp. Charge. I suspect that may not be realistic. I think, perhaps, I’m still human and I’m going to [...]

gone out for milk

November 13, 2008 – 9:52 pm

Tomorrow I write about happiness so tonight I will write about sadness, so as not to confuse the two. I’ve been quite sad this week and I’m not sure why. I feel very lonely. The future, while not exactly dark, looks dull and uninteresting. Is this stress? The economy? Just me cycling through depression again? [...]

must be doing something right

November 9, 2008 – 5:38 pm

Although I don’t use this blog so much as a diabetes blog anymore (that’s what DRT is for), I wanted to recognized D-Blog Day. D-Blog Day was started on November 9th 2005, by Gina Capone to help unite diabetes bloggers and create awareness about diabetes. I see that I haven’t updated my progress much lately. [...]
