Theropy group was good yesterday. We talked about our feelings and made God Boxes. Whats a God Box? You take a box any box and decorate it. Then when you have a trial or problem you write it down and put it in your box. Its suppose to be like you are turning your trial/problem over to God. Not to bad for a mixed religious group of people who are not all Lds like me.
   I have to be honest with myself. I think I may have high functiining or maybe even situational depression. My meds help still and I'm functioning but kind of feeling down. Theres really not a whole lot I can do about the situation either except try to stay positive I guess. So if anyone reads this please keep me in your prayers.

Today has kind if been a lazy day for me, but I did do one important thing today. For family members check out the Our Heritage blog and let me know what you think. Father's Day is coming up so I posted a few memories of my Grandpa Eddie Lee Jones.
   Another thing I learned today that a member in our ward and a good friend of ours had a stroke. He had surgery on a brain anreuyism, but reports are good and he seems to be recovering well so far. People are calling it a miracle because of how well he is doing.
    Thats about it for today.

          Wow it seems I haven't been on here in a long time. I forgot my sign in information to my blog until now.
    So what have I been up to these days. It seems mostly that I've been busy. This last week I babysat and had fun with my nephews. Ages 7,4,and 20 months. I thourouly enjoyed it and realized or saw just how much I've been growing emotionally. So my therapy and hard work has been paying off. This Monday in group we talked about trauma and trauma is very real you guys. I think it gets minimized a lot, but for those of us with strong emotions it can be very difficult. Plus the amount of trauma Ive been facing lately has been very difficult and the extrimity of it.
    In my other group weve been talking about grief this week we talked a about belief systems and I read an article about good communication when dealing with your belief systems. In life skills group we talked about healthy eating cooking, and excercise. I'm not quite ready to focus on all that yet but I did go out and buy stuff to make me a salad. Increase my vegetable intake. My therapy group at home was good this week talking about using both our reasonable minbd and emotional mind together to make wise decisions and choices. I have to practice the activities this week to increase my ability to use my wise mind.
  Now that Jamie is mostly done with school, Im picking up my adult coloring again for anxiety purposes it calms me down. Also Ive been reading my scriptures a little better. Im at the end of Mosiah at the story of Alma the younger. Im also in Leviticus learning and studying about all the different burnt offerings and the rules. It was interesting to me that they always mention making an atonement when they want to be made clean. I really liked that thought and want to ponder it some more.
   Im the secretary in my ward for Relief Society which has kept my busy. The new changes are change but they will be good.
     Thats about all I've been up to lately besides looking for a job and hoping and praying that I can find one where I don't have to work on Sundays.
     I had an incident this weekend that was traumatic for me, but I found comfort in my friends. I wantedto share with one friend in particular but she hasnt been available. I know that this friend loves me but its been extreemly hard lately wothout her but life just keeps moving on.
