Belief

Teach me how to live life. How will I get through each day? Expensive therapies, medicines, analysis. Teach me how to do it. I am on my own once I leave. How do I live? How do I do my life?

I felt these thoughts for my sister when she was leaving the institution. Everything was so controlled and structured for so long. How would she live?

Belief. Whatever your choice, go, do and follow what you believe in. G-d bless you.

Acknowledgement

How do I share? How do I hear myself? Can you understand yourself?

I feel we have to learn to live with our challenges. Everyone is a shining star. There are moments each day to have sadness, joy, humor, pain and love. Enjoy your shining moment(s).

Sorry for being late with this entry.

Relationships

We all search for something or someone. Everyday we must nurture ourselves. There are many distractions.

Begin relationships with other things besides people: nature, animals, etc. This offers healing.

Focusing on experience brings me joy. I'll see you Tuesday, July 28.

Love

I always have to remember I have love in my life. Love is a special gift. Be open to the love in your life.

People are there for you, take a moment to enjoy the love in your life.

Hindsight

Knowing we can look back and learn, sometimes may be frustrating. I am letting go of saying, "I wish I had."

Happy Summer. Please raise your head and look up at the sky.

United

United we stand.

I want to make it o.k. to talk about mental illness. I encourage folks to feel comfortable seeking help and discussion groups to support their caring for a mentally ill loved one.

Hidden Treasure

Please take a moment to share a random act of kindness today and let this be a hidden treasure for someone you know or just meet.

Happy July 4th. See you Wednesday, July 8th.
