I am going to apply for a job as a speaker for a Christian women's retreat but I feel terrible and I think I'll make a very bad impression. I know the material and have an idea of what to speak about but I...

I will have to see my mother once a month and encourage my daughters to get to know her. I will also visit my brother and his wife at the same time. I like my brother...

Reconciliation
My mother and I never got along. Even as a child, I remember fighting with her. Partly it is because I am a sensitive romantic and she is a practical active person. In addition I grew up with depression. I was mentally ill from birth. It wasn't severe, but it made me shy, sensitive, and very needy....

My brother got made at our family about ten years ago and has not wanted to speak to us, write letters, receive letters, etc. They lived in the same town as...

I straightened my bedroom, desk and worked on the shower. I got errands done and cleaned the other half of the solar room. I...

Today I have lots to do.
I have to go to the my brothers, visit my friend in jail, pack and clean house with my friend. That isn't much but it does seem like I'll be preoccupied all day. Last night I was thinking about my friend who has something seriously wrong with his brain. I know that this week he will go through a...

This morning was a wierd day.
At church we found out a very dear friend of ours has something wrong with his brain. He can hardly walk. His family was very worried and it sounded especially serious. Then we heard a good sermon about making decisions. Kristina was excited about her date after she found out that her new boyfriend...

Today I wrote a poem.
I also mopped a floor. Even though writing a poem will have more impact, I am prouder of myself for mopping the floor. Why? Because for me writing a poem is easy. Mopping the floor is very hard. I hate doing it. It takes a lot of energy. I also am never satisfied with the cleanliness of the floor. I...
