Welcome To My Life

  October 26, 2011; 0744 In my current quest to get things reordered, reorganized and reorchestrated I have committed myself to doing certain things daily. One of these things is to journal, or in this case, blog. I found in the past that writing things down frequently helps immensly. It puts things into perspective, clears the mind. It even gathers up all of those random pieces of thoughtature and gives them a place to reside until you are sure of their place in your life. For instance, the other morning, after having blogged, I went and did a little zenitation. I had had several thoughts during that time and had not written them down afterwards. Now they are in my head running around free until the next moment I can silence myself enough to find them once more. I have also been trying to regiment myself in regards to a daily routine of ‘things done.’ Again, waaaaay back in the daaaay, I had a very specific routine of rituals, meditations, prayers, etc. And, again, this is whe...

  October 24, 2011; 0719 I needed to take the time to check-in, not only with WTML but also just with myself. It has been a very intense and interesting couple of weeks. There is so much going on at once. I find myself terribly behind schedule with things and also buried under a pile of stuff to do around the home. I’m not exactly sure how it all got to this point, but I am certain that I am going to put my best foot forward to reverse it all. Every area of my life is undergoing changes right now. I think they are all good changes, but it always takes so long for the dust to settle when things happen so abruptly. I need to start journaling on a daily basis. I think this is important both for the flow of WTML but also for my own personal well-being. I’m not exactly sure how it all goes quite yet but, for now, this space will serve as my daily and WTML journals. I don’t know how well that will work out, but wtf…why not? Today is DAY 1 of my process towards change (or ‘The Ex...

  Sept. 19, 2011; 0904 My problem is I can never seem to write everything that is on my mind at one time. Not only does my mind jump from topic to topic to frequently, but, the simple fact of the matter is, I would write for days straight. LOL. **UPDATE 2** I did forget to update, and it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t, the dinner situation last night. After everything was cleaned up and everyone had gone on their way, I was eventually invited to have the dish of food left on the stove. I wrote yesterday: It’s All Just Perspective There is an area of my life where my perspective seems to be very different than that of those around me. Ok…more than one, but let’s just focus on this one for now. It all revolves around my daughters. Mama was upset that I had discussed a possible job with them without knowing, for certain, if I had it. She was upset because Princess Sunshine got upset because the job would have me on the road 8 days at a time. My friend agreed with Mama on this ...

Actually, It really is kind of a mission statement... Hey, Gang! Welcome to my life, where anything is possible and nothing is as it seems. I'm The Rev.

Before I delve into the negativity and frustration of this post I need to add something to my positive list that I had forgotten earlier. (I believe there are two but I can only recall one in this particular moment): A game yesterday. A game that Makayla has been waiting on for some time. We used to play it together when Nyssa was younger and taking naps. Then, when Mama took the other computer, that had stopped. When I tried to install it on this laptop there were problems with the Disc. Yesterday the replacement finally came and the game runs perfectly. Mak will be so thrilled. So, there are two areas in my life where I am consistently and constantly being told that I am nothing but an asshole/prick. It seems no matter how I try to handle myself, the moment I speak how I feel I am being difficult and an asshole. One area is my family and one is mama. This is what I was seeking with my earlier post about insight, even if I wasn't completely clear on that. Since there are n...

With all of the chaos of the past several days/posts, I thought it might be a good side step to stop a moment and take a look at all the good things. I had wanted to do this post last night but it just didn't work out that way. So, I am going to write about yesterday as if it still were yesterday. (Does that make sense?) So here all the good things of the day (9/13/2011): It was an absolutely gorgeous day. Bright sun, warm day, beautiful skies. I have my health - despite any issues there may be, I have my health. I was able to get some work in today, earn some money. I found flexibility in my schedule. The flexibility I enjoy so much. And, with a clear head I may find more and be able to manage things quite well for at least a week or two. Moving backwards another day, I was blessed enough to once again see the Principle Ask & Ye Shall Receive in action. I went to sleep Sunday night wondering how I would manage until Wednesday, until I saw more money. I awoke Monday to...

Or, as it was put in another way today, “how can you live the life you do?” Some days I’m not so sure myself how I can stand it or live the life I do. But, if I need to be introspective on it the answer becomes quite clear. I can do it because… It is as it is. And, I can write here, without any doubt or hesitation, that it is the life that God intended for me. That is what gets me through each day no matter what the day may put before me. Even today. Today brought what I knew would eventually come. I just don’t know that I expected it quite so soon. You see, when I conveyed my story yesterday about the van and my father I left out a very important point. I was damned if I did…and damned if I didn’t. If I kept my mouth shut and let my father follow through with his intentions, which I learned today were more than to just look at the van, it would have eventually and inevitably come back to bite me in the ass. As I pointed out yesterday, this conclusion is based on previous experi...
