a new day
December 21, 2008Today I took hold of myself and made the effort to shake off the dark fog that holds me down. I showered for the first time in days. I got dressed. I took the dogs for a walk. Why the change? Life goes on, and today is a new day.
I am inspired by your comments. It reminds me to live in the moment, to silence the negative voices in my head. I am particularly drawn to this illustration by Ulti Chhatri: “I don’t need your voice. I have my own.”
I am not spiritual, and I don’t believe in god, but I love it’s strength and simplicity and the message it inspires.

I am just a crazy girl who is struggling to survive. I have a history of abuse, dysfunction, addiction, self-harm and mental illness; and I've attempted suicide three times. This blog is a journal of my recovery as I learn how to be happy.





I agree. This is is inspiring and words to live by … or at least to try.
