Making It Monday

​It’s Monday Morning, and I am thinking about what I want to accomplish for the week. I don’t want to waste time procrastinating on things that aren’t going to move my life, business, or goals forward. As I am sitting here with my journal, planner, and pens; I am reminded of the goals I’ve been coming up with. 

We had our caregiver drive us to the center; and I am blessed through any situation God places me in. It’s important that I start doing things that build better habits and can help me to have a brighter future. That means focusing on things that build a sense of accomplishment and confidence, by doing the hard things first thing in the morning.

One thing that happens, every morning during the week, is that we go to The Center. The lady in charge, calls me too tell me she is on her way to pick us up. Though this morning, she called and said she wouldn’t be able to pick us up. Luckily we made it here anyways; in time to have breakfast. Came inside from smoking two cigarettes and it’s definitely Summer in Texas. 

Moral Monday

​I am starting to feel better as I took my medicine this morning. I put the roses on the table at home, last night when My Dad dropped me off at the house around 7PM. This morning I didn’t want to wake up and I slept good till 8AM. When I think about “morals”, I think about the discipline and persistence it takes to make things better. 

Although I haven’t always been faithful to taking my medication and being there for the people that matter the most in my life. I have had to start having patience when things don’t go my way. To not make a big deal out of things I don’t like. One thing that is helping me is writing about my day. 

I have been persistently taking my medication and staying with the Day Program for over a year. I am responsible for my own self; and every choice I make has a consequence. When I left I was being selfish and didn’t make good choices. Sitting here, thinking about how to make this a good week.

Monday is the start of a new week and even though I am not going to see my family for a while. I am remembering the weekend. I am gaining a greater understanding of who I am. Through reading and writing I have learned that God loves me each and every step of the way.

Things may not always happen the way you want them too. Though through doing the things you do every day results in seeing better days ahead. Staying with my family for the weekend was a blessing. I’m now with my other family at the group home. 

Making Monday

​During the week, beginning on Monday. My housemate’s and I go to the center. Two of us, go to The Lions Center. The other ones go to Adult Day Care. I just came back inside the building from smoking three cigarettes. We sit at the tables in here and try to make the most out of the day. I’m looking at my planner and thinking about what I need to do this week.

Mother’s Day is on Sunday and I am looking forward to seeing my family. Mothering is an important job and raising my kid has been a roller coaster of emotions. My parents have been there through all of it and take care of my little one while I am here with the group. I need to buy My Mom a gift and a card. I could make her a card and a gift if TRUE Mental Health can’t take me somewhere.

I was told last week by my caseworker that they cannot take me anywhere anymore unless it has to do with a clinical reason. Which is a bummer, because I look forward to going out every once in a while. Mostly to Dollar Tree to buy things. Especially going to 711 and buying a slurpy and a pack of Lucky Strikes.

It’s the start of the month and I am enjoying this nice weather. Although we stay inside most of the time with exceptions to go smoke or walk to the corner store.
