Daily Quote(part 3)

That is something I have had to get used to as I got older. Things take longer to heal (but they do) and it is easier to do damage. The mind doesn't age with the body so it is frustrating.

I have had so many failures here trying to show people that their mind doesn't work the way they think. It is a major stumbling block and frustrating. So I'm not sure if I am better off trying and failing than to have never tried. The few who have got it have made major leaps forward. Those that don't still get by with their relaxation techniques and coping skills but they never change their thought patterns. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it is okay to have to go through a coping routine every time a person goes out. I don't have to, Ive done that. I much rather go out with nothing bothering me. But that is CBT everything else is just a prelude to it. Everything else is just coping. And people are used to just coping. How can they believe there is more. But then I don't live in a city. Going against the flow is always wrong in the eyes of the majority even if it is right so it amazes me that we get anywhere in this world. There is no room for individuals.

So in a way is this quote wrong, is it better not to try than to be different and therefore fail in the eyes of your peers even if it helps you.

Hugs, I find that being sad makes the pain or the disability harder to cope with. Accepting it and getting on with life makes it easier physically to do things even if it hurts and that is a form of CBT if I believe it, but only a coping skill if I don't. A fine line there.

I had sole and potatoes for supper, I like it. I only like cod deep fried.

One of the side effects of my diuretic is sleepy. I could hardly get anything done today. Tomorrow I will take only half of it and see the Doc. Had to remove 6 inches of wet snow from the driveway. Also had to go down the road with the tractor and push a tree off the road so I can get out tomorrow. The joy of living in the country.

Sorry to hear you are not well, better tomorrow I hope.

I have an old friend from back east coming to visit in two weeks. I have two weeks for my stomach to settle. :-)

Hopefully there will be no more avalanches blocking the road.

Hi Davit, I was feeling out of it today, expecting a cousin to visit. My stomach was bothering me, but I think I'll be ok in the morning. The weekend was odd, as I watched a lot of tv, as well as today. Must be something I ate. I cooked cod in the oven. I really don't like cod, but mom does. Thanks for thinking of me.

I have at least now started believing in myself.
