Good sleep, hot potatoes, and pain~

Today is the third day in a row that has really been awesome!  Daddy woke me up before my alarm, starting the day off with prayer likely helped my otherwise sleep-deprived mind.  I woke well-rested and ready to tackle the day, on each aforesaid days.  So, “what is different?”, my therapist, Jennifer asks, smiling.  “God is my first focus.  That’s the only difference, other than the intermittent use of praise and worship music on the commute to work, during work sometimes but very little so as not to offend, and on the commute to pick up my moms from school.  The Word does tell us to “seek Him first and all things will be added unto (me)”.  Somethings? I ask myself.  No ALL things Ice.

A very near and dear longtime friend and mentor of mine needs me tonight.  So I’ll be keeping this short, possibly returning with an add-on.  But I must say, it feels good to be needed and able to provide that support a good friend can supply!  I like to be needed, wanted, and made to feel folks like being around me.  Is that self-centered?  I don’t always think of and desire that; but when it comes up, I typically jump at the chance to be helpful in any way I can.

Yesterday’s group went very well, shared a little about Joe; got great feedback that I am where I am for a reason; and to stay put –advise I desperately needed and will funnel through to a much more relaxed, less stressed-from-job-hunting me than has been for a month or so. *Whew..Dropping that quest like a hot potato.*  I look forward to facilitating a NAMI group over north as a fill-in tomorrow!  Then later, of course, doing my regular “home group”.  I also applied at TC to see what happens there. (sent app pre-advice)

So I am off to see the wizard..pick the brain of my good friend..and chillout for most of the night with some great convo and company. Yay me!

I have been trying to write more, as much as I can really.  Haiku’s (there’s another word for a similar type of short poem but can’t think of it just now) and Hookus?? That have a cadence/format of 6..5..4.. got my attention because the goal is to start with just three lines, and you can always add additional pieces to create a larger picture; but the short goal is achievable as anything I would attempt to pen.  So let me give it a shot before I leave and come back to get some more actual work in tonight.

Shooting through corridors

Nerve endings cry out

Kill this noise now
