Today is the beginning of the rest of my life. I am grateful for so many things. I feel that I am on the right path.
When I look back, I see things in a different light. I see the good times. I also see the bad times but I see them in a different way. I don't get upset when I see the bad. My focus is on good things. Much like a garden. You plant good things but weeds will come up as well. Pull the weeds to make room for the good things.
I haven't talked that much about my voices in a bit. Yesterday I sat here and thought 'I haven't heard any voices lately.' Maybe its because I don't have time for them. Or maybe the way that I pushed them out has become automatic. It could also be that I am changing what I put in my mind. For long years I heard them from the time I opened my eyes to the time I closed them. I had given up hope that I will always hear them. That hope is unfounded. As soon as I fought them back and pushed them out they stopped.
Have the best day you can. Make it your day. Be good to yourselves and "pull the weeds.'
What you put into a mind, good or bad, comes out in a life.

Hi Dave,
You have come through with the idea of pulling the weeds, the negative thoughts that grow wild and need to be pulled out of our heads.
I saw a woman who gave me a reading who told me that in my late forties I would be given a choice to make and that it would be up to me what I wanted to do: whether to say yes or no would be my choice. I wouldn't be in a positive to have to say yes: it would be under my control.
This is all mysterious I know. Yet as I travel through the next three years I wonder about whether what she said is going to come through.
I wrote in Joyful Music-my personal blog-that you cannot look back in anger. Most of all I'm not angry that I was diagnosed with schizophrenia as some good has come of for the world. That is my consolation: that I can use my talents to help other people heal and to aid in healing society from the stigma.
Along with the idea of pulling weeds and getting rid of what holds us back I'm on a mission to eat more healthful foods and go to the gym. Wish me well with this as it is going to be my sole focus in the remaining six weeks of winter and continuing into the spring.
Thank you for giving me the perfect metaphor for this growth.
Only by pulling the weeds can we make room for the beautiful flowers.
Regards,
Christina
