Survivor reality?

Tonight on Survivor Nick's parting words were about his generation needing to "maximize their personal freedom" and that would "change the world".

How true - the world is already changing because so many people in his generation and those younger and 10 to 30 years older are doing just that. They are so interested in their "personal freedom" that they have lost a sense of community. They have lost connections to the past, and they have even lost any sense of moral direction.

What you need Nick is Jesus. You need to fall down on your knees and ask God for forgiveness for your "personal freedom" choices that have lead you far from your Father!

You need to maximize Jesus not personal freedom.

Silence

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! Do you ever have one of those days where no matter where you go it's loud, busy and overwhelming?

If not, I've got as 4 year old boy who can come stay with you for a few days! And a hyper husband and teenager...

But seriously, isn't it nice to once in a while just sit in silence? Earlier this week I had a chance to be outside in the sunshine and just enjoy peace and quiet. It was wonderful. Then the snow came back. Then other people got home. Then my world got noisy and busy again.

Boredom

Ho hum...

I am getting better. My strength and stamina are slowly returning. I am healthy enough now that I am bored out of my mind sitting at home most days...

Unfortunately I'm not well enough to go out and get a job. Sure, I could do some sort of minimalistic 5 hour a week job with few responsibilities that is only 10 minutes from my house, but since such a job is non-existant I'm stuck here twiddling my thumbs trying to find something to do to fill my time.

Help me!!!

Thank you God for zoloft

So I've been really sick for a year now. It's difficult to track progress, especially with all the symptoms that go along with the Lyme disease. One of the ones I've had trouble with that is treatable is depression. I recently increased the amount of zoloft I am taking... wow what a difference. I guess the commercials aren't lying when they say depression hurts!

I am definately getting better. My bad weeks are still not great... but my "good" weeks are getting much better. Yesterday I took a 10 minute walk and felt good. I wasn't even sore after! Today I took a big step. I actually DROVE. I drove into Montpelier (3 miles) with no problems. Then, I parked and walked around city center for about 10 minutes and drove home. And get this, instead of being totally exhausted and regretting it, I'm exhilirated and ready to keep doing stuff like this every day!

Hooray! I'm getting better!!!!

Just had to share my joy!

Ok, I had really short hair for 10 years. Now, because of my Lyme disease I don't have the strength, energy or coordination to cut it anymore (I'm cheap... I do it myself). I'm growing it out, I just don't know where to stop.

My hair is much curlier now than it has ever been (I blame the Lyme and the meds for thinning my hair enough so it could curl)!

This picture was taken several months ago. My hair is now down to my shoulders. How far should I let it grow?
