Looking back on my old lists, I am reminded of being grateful for "choices and responsibility".  Currently I'm not able to be grateful for this.  I feel like I have made a series of "bad" choices for myself.  I have lost my confidence that I am capable of making "good" decisions.  I am lost.  I choose to be lost.  I am the only human that can find my way, my path.  I choose to follow the guidance of the great spirit.  I felt led to my previous employment, and I had a lot of difficulty and issues with my previous boss.  I am afraid to follow another leading.  I feel sick today.  Love and Light.

5-13-14 grateful for today

I have been having a rough time with myself.  I have been watching marathon TV sessions, 12 to 13 hours a day.  This is not good having entire runs of shows available for me to watch whenever I want.  I've been wondering if Al-Anon or AA meetings would mind if I show up with my TV addiction.  Facing my own life is hard for me right now.  I have lost my confidence in my ability to make good decisions for myself.  I am currently unemployed, by my own choice.  I left my last job as I lost interest in video production.  I start wondering if I was really that interested in it to begin with.  I had difficulty with my boss, the owner.  The way she ran things was so foreign to me and didn't make sense to me.  An 8 to 5 job in a corporate cubicle started looking very good to me.  At least there the processes and policies and the way things would get done would make sense to me.  I am struggling to get through my days and to not punish myself for wasting so many weeks of TV watching.  I feel disappointment in myself in not taking this opportunity to do all the things I complained of not having enough time to do, like learning and playing music, writing another book, organizing my house and making a sacred space. There's just me here, no friends cheering me on, no partner or roommate to help or motivate me.  Just me . . . trying to push through the day.  Love and Light.
