A blog and forum for encouragement, hope and stories by Jiming Lindal

I started to begin a process to heal and recover. Everyday, I made a list of things to do, and put them down. For example, today, I will start my blog. I will allocate the time for writing, say an hour or two. Then, I will start to do other things on my list. Of course, if inspiration comes to knock the door, I probably will log in to write a few words. Now, some music. According to my young and wise friend, who is living in Canada, she said somehow if you have Christian or Classic music in the background even if you don’t listen to it, it will help to lift your spirit. Now I don’t know how that works, so I decided to give it a try, and the music gave me peace while I was busy with chores. Exercise. I never formed a habit of exercising. So, now, I start to do garden work and try to take a walk. Last night, I was rather tired, but my husband urged me for a walk. So, we did, and I felt much better afterwards. I guess I just need to keep trying. I am thinking to have a walking partner, and may just give a friend a call. Last, tears. I would cry if something happens to trigger. Either an email, or a thought of my daughter, and then I fall into the trap of blaming myself. I start to realize I need to control somehow not to cry too hard. I still cry, but in a way that I will not let it go endless. Somehow that helps.
