Do We Become What We Think About…
Today is definitely MY day for rambling on LOL. - Thank you Snoopy :-). Eric, you are definitely up next :P Apparently in Earl Nightingale’s The Strangest Secret the strangest secret is that “we become what we think about.” Now ...
On Achmed, ‘Norma Jean’ and Living for Today!
Thank you to YellowSunray and Twinks for the visit last night ?. Both Eric and I have missed your ‘spur of the moment’ visits which have generally ended up being very eventful evenings LOL. It’s always a pleasure sharing your unique views on li...
The Last Few Weeks In Brief…
It’s Sunday morning and all is quiet *sigh* At least reasonably quiet! LOL Especially considering that there are four kids in-doors keeping themselves busy! We had six in total yesterday, (our three, the ‘lost boys’ and EricR...
Motivation
I haven’t posted in a while, a lot has happened, but I’ve felt rather demotivated and despondent. I wake up in the morning feeling grumpy and angry again which I don’t like, because no one around me deserves to have that around, and...
On the merits of having a great weekend and more…
We had a great weekend with the girls - they spent most of it in the pool which left them sad to leave on Sunday, which made Eric’s weekend ;-) YAY. There is often a battle of wills on Sunday mornings, as the girls when feeling bored, ask Eri...
putting your pride into your pocket.
Wow, I must just comment that your posts are really great. I cannot believe how far you have come…for anyone reading the posts, your writing is inspirational. Whilst reading, something struck me. Its really quite funny to me how the experience...
Gratitude and Gratitude Rocks
I watched a movie called The Secret on Thursday night. It’s about how you can actually control your life and destiny by the power of positive thinking and the law of attraction - what you think, you attract. So if you are in a negative mood all...
Sarongs And Summer Sun…
I am so truly happy in today, for today! Nothing extraordinary happened, except Boo was able to but some demons to rest in a manner of speaking. I woke up and put on a sarong, which I haven’t done since I was 22. Boo and I had a bit of a laugh ...
From the Top of my Kennel
What a lovely day we spent on Thursday. I don’t know about you guys but I enjoyed it immensely. Hope that you are enjoying some ” us” time these last few days. I think that whatever you are doing for yourself is helping as the t...
Reflections
I woke up in a very reflective mood this morning, thinking about the recording studio I used to own, and the clients, and how long I used to spend there. It was my life - that and my family, but, reflecting on that, I realised how I’m looking a...
Meds
I forgot to take my meds this morning. I do that on occasion - Its not too bad if I just miss one dosage, but I tend to notice a change in myself if I miss a day or two. I’ve tried everything to try remember my meds - currently I set reminders ...
Change is always meant to be!
I am very sorry Eric that you are feeling so sad. Apart from dealing with day to day struggles centred around bipolar, it is also hard dealing with those changes and losses as a result of a divorce. This would be terrible for anyone to cope with. Not...
From the Top of my kennel
Boo, I think that you are amazing on how you “handle” Eric and there must be times when you cannot be always on top of it all. Thank you very much. I enjoyed spending some time together with you Eric and just chatting with you relaxed an...
Forums, Triggers, and General Mental Health…
I’ve been a bit down since Sunday, and to everyone who has had to deal with me, I’m sorry. I read a couple of posts by some Bi Polar people on the Mental Health Forum, and I realised that I too am confused and frustrated with my mood swin...
Lying on the ground..
Here I am lying on the ground feeling broken and bleeding! The wind entirely knocked out of my sails - this I can honestly say is a first! My guard was down and I was more than a little content in the moment… To explain, we had a wonderful time...
Self Pity
Dammit!! you know, I’m so angry. I’m angry that my marriage ended up like it has (I’ll Fill you in as time progresses), I’m angry that I only get to see my daughters for 2 and a half days every 2 weeks, and I’m generally...
As I see it from the top of my kennel
Well done to you for starting this site. I am sure there are lots of things written and said about bipolar, but until you have actually experienced living with someone who is a sufferer of bipolar disorder (never say that you HAVE bipolar or are bi...
I LOVE my life!
It rocks the mostest!! I want to share a little secret with you on how I finally got it right. I have this fridge magnet which explains it all: “it is only possible to live happily-ever-after on a day-to-day basis”. To explain or at lea...
Defining Freedom
Being an ardent fan of Bob Marley, it was always difficult to decide which of his songs was my favourite. I was always partial to those songs of his that had elements of social commentary. So after much internal debate, and debate with the Marley fan...
Life and the universe
It’s interesting how people’s energy affects us. Have you ever been in a place that just doesn’t feel right? That sometimes things are just too hectic around certain individuals, or depressing for that matter? A particular place per...
This interesting world we live in
I did a show on racism last night. It’s interesting to see how black people in general hate whites. I spoke to a black friend of mine about it later in the evening, and after saying that people need to get over the past and move foward, her opi...
A Short note
I didn’t feel much like writing today, but Boo said that I should - That I need to get into the habit of doing this - so here goes. I woke up in a better mood this morning, I think it was because I was going to fetch my beautiful children today...
The ramblings of a LOON!!
Today I woke up in a generally grumpy mood, but after taking the Toad to school, and seeing how much better Boo was feeling, I started feeling better, decided to start this new site, Our Beautiful mind.com (Boo’s Name idea!), and that gave me a...
