I'm doing 22 things
Did it!
While I was slack on documenting progress, I did quite a bit on this goal on reconnecting with old friends. I connected with the one in GA, one in TX, one in FL, and two in NC. I went to my 30th high school reunion and reconnected with many former classmates. I’m so glad I did because a month later one died. Not a close friend but it still rocked me. I am so relieved I spent a few minutes with her at the reunion. I never dreamed she’d die at only 48. Now that I’ve started, I plan to keep this going. Very proud of myself.

How I did it
It made me
courageous 
How I did it: It took a lot of courage because I wasn't sure how these how friends would respond to my attempt to contact them after so many years. Fortunately, it was all positive. I felt as if the years just melted away as we shared our life stories with each other. Read how I did it…
It made me
Self-satisfied
How I did it: I no longer watch television even though I give in to a couple computer games. The more you read, the better you can read, and the more advanced your reading level becomes. Read how I did it…
It made me
Happy
How I did it: I stayed in a positive frame of mind. I stayed compassionate, loving and giving to others in the months before. People want to give back to people who make them feel good about themselves. If I have negative thoughts about others, I try to transcend it and see what is behind their behavior. People gave me gifts and cards. People came by just to tell me happy birthday or hug me. My husband sent me roses and took me out to eat. One person f… Read how I did it…

Recent entries
1. 3 books in the Remy Chandler series by thomas Sniegoskil Paranormal urban fiction about an ex-angel detective. Good for young adults as vulgarity and profanity is not used regularly. In fact, the idea of an angel drinking and swearing seems silly at times but peer pressure is tough even on angels. What interests me is the original storylines. The first is best, the second 0kay and the third improved.
2. When Rabbit Howls by Truddi Chase. Written by a woman with 92 documented personalities(dissociative identity disorder). Fascinating look into how severe child abuse fragments a child’s mind and creates multiple personalities as a coping strategy.
3. And She Was by Cindy Dyson. Surprisingly fascinating book about how the legacy of some Aleutian women positively impacted a Caucasion woman who was drifting through life.
4.People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks. I absolutely loved this book. I realize it is too dry by many people’s standards. It is about a woman who works with rare books like a detective into its past history. The story evolves around her life impacted by the book and the people who came before her.
for me to find inner peace, has something to do with, “have you taken your happy pills today?” When the medicine works I realize I have a happy life. Certainly far better than many I know. But let me get a little out of balance and boom! I feel like I might as well end it all. I wish I didn’t have to take the stuff but I don’t know if taking it makes me need it or I need it so I must take it. sigh.
