How I did it
How to plant a weeping willow tree in the hallway outside my bedroom door
It took me
2 months
It made me
feel safer.

How I did it: In my thoughts, I planted that weeping willow tree in the hallway outside my bedroom door. I wanted a guardian to protect me from nightmares stemming from the trauma I endured. And my new weeping willow tree seems to have helped protect me from the terror of those dreams.The nightmares still do come occasionally, and I believe that it will be a long time before I am fully free from them. However, they are nothing like they were before I p… Read how I did it…

How to determine if I can try Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) classes
It took me
1 day
It made me
unhappy.

How I did it: I called the number of the organization that teaches DBT and inquired whether I could try a class without paying. I wanted this because of financial issues, so that I would not sign up for something that I could not do.However, one has to be enrolled in the program in order to go to classes. This is for confidentiality. I understand that. I did hope that I would be able to try.Calling was worth it. However, I am disappointed. Read how I did it…

How to learn how to make Lasagna
It took me
1 day
It made me
content.

How I did it: I found my family's recipe for making lasagna. I had not originally wanted to put in the required effort to make the lasagna, but I did want to learn.Making it was simple, although time-consuming. I followed the recipe as it was written. Currently my lasagna is in the oven. I will be glad when it is ready. Read how I did it…

keep a personal recipe book
Bound. 17 hours ago

I store my recipes in a ring binder with dividers. However, most of what I make is from the recipe box of a family member, from cookbooks owned by a family member, from one of the two cookbooks I purchased, or from the Web. I need to locate the recipes which I use and collect them in the ring binder.

read the silence of the lambs
The best novel I have read in years. 3 days ago

Yesterday I spent hours reading The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris. It is the best novel I have read in years. I will probably finish reading the last hundred pages today.
