Ophelia's Story
My life has been a little difficult. I've finally reached the point where I'm ready to move beyond the pain I've endured. I want more for myself than wallowing in misery like I have been and attracting even more hurt.
The turning point for me was when the love of my life decided that he no longer loved me. My world turned completely upside-down, I ended up having a nervous breakdown, was hospitalized for being a danger to myself. I didn't want to be in this world anymore.
Now I'm starting over and deciding who I want to be from this day forward and what I really want for myself. What I thought I wanted wasn't worth what I went through to get it.
I'm trying to build a new life for myself. However, I still have scars from my old life. I can't erase them, I can only incorporate them into the new.

I went to the first meditation class last night. There's another tonight and again tomorrow night. Last night, I didn't really learn anything that I didn't already know, and there were a couple of ideas that didn't ring true for me. But hopefully tonight will be better. I can always take what I agree with and discard the rest. The biggest thing for ... - The State of Our World - Sun, May 04, 2008 - [view]
I found a meditation course that starts next week. And I actually have those days off from work, so I'm going to attend. It's a good starting point.I've completely bombed on my attempt to write a book. Maybe I'll try again, someday. I have a good start on finding a (new) direction. It's hard, though. Everything I once believed in has blown... - Just Venting - Sun, April 27, 2008 - [view]
As many know, I work in the dining room of a retirement center. On weekends, some of the residents' adult offspring come to visit and join them at lunch. One of these visitors is a horrible woman who treats her parents like little kids. Talks down to them, speaks for them, makes decisions for them as if they were incapable of making their own. These are wonderful peo... - Avatar - Fri, April 25, 2008 - [view]
I finally managed to put up an avatar that didn't look like a black smudge! Yay! I might actually be figuring out this tech stuff! (Yeah, right) I've been trying for a long time to get it and I finally did.I'm still having some frustration in my personal and work life, but I think I'm finally starting to figure things out in that area, as well. Even... - Tribute to Zoe - Tue, April 22, 2008 - [view]
Surprisingly, today is a good day. It's still hard to wrap my mind around the fact that Zoe (my cat) is really gone. I keep expecting her to jump up on the desk at any moment.I went outside with my coffee a while ago and was actually looking for her to try to run out the door. (That was part of the morning routine) It's weird to see the dog able to walk through t...
