I'm sitting here trying to decide what to write. I wrote a bunch of stuff yesterday. I deleted this post three times now. The voices are quiet, as are my thoughts. I'm winning the battle against the voices. I find myself automatically shutting them down as soon as they appear. I don't give them any room. I actually hear my voice. Just then when I wrote that a song lyric popped in my head, I pushed it out. It's working, the redirecting of thoughts and the conscious pushing them away. I find myself pushing too many thoughts away. I'm still not used to thinking things without voice interruption. Maybe that's why I forget alot. More songs,I just pushed em. The effort it takes to push has lessened. The fight is easier. I really think there's not gonna be any voices if I continue this way. Wow the thought of no voices is astounding. I can do it. I am doing it. After all these years. OMG! How wonderful. I would never have believed it. I believe in the power of the mind. I believe I can achieve anything I set out to. Redirect my thoughts. Slow my mind down. Empty those negative beings from my head. Another song..push it. There it's gone. That was a tough one. Enough rambling.

Live, love, laugh, learn, listen,

David
