Tonight,my road to recovery continues positively.I had a pretty good day today.
Today,I woke up in the early morning and bathed quickly.I wanted to make sure that I was ready and able to go the meeting that I planned to attend today.After my bath,I had my usual quick breakfast and my usual 2 cups of coffee.After that,I got dressed and headed over to the meeting.
The meeting was excellent.We finished watching a video on Fatherhood and it's many challenges and after some discussion,we all left for home.
On the way home myself,I had to stop at a local garage here in the city to have my left rear turn signal bulb replaced because the left turn signal kept blinking fast and since I already knew that the left signal bulb needed replacing and I had to have it done legally because I didn't want to take a chance of any police in any are pulling me over for that as the fine is pretty stiff.It only took 20 minutes to get fixed.After it was fixed,I headed straight home.
When I got home,I fixed my mom some breakfast,did my personal PC work and also,I swept the back porch of all the dried leaves that were on there to prevent them from mixing with the snow and causing really severe ice patches on it when Winter does indeed get here.It only took me 10 minutes to do and after it was finished,I headed over to see a friend to see how he was doing.
After spending a few minutes with him,I headed over to a local supermarket to pick up a few things that my mom wanted me to get.After paying for those articles,I headed straight home and that is where I stayed for the rest of the day as I had nothing else to do nor any place else to go.
When I got home,I relaxed and took it easy for a while and I also watched some TV while doing so.
After eating,I watched the evening news for a while and I also did some more personal PC work.Overall,a pretty good day.
Though my recovery continues on a positive road,I am still dealing and struggling with the symptoms of depression.I am dealing with them on a one day at a time basis.I am still attending my therapy sessions.I am also taking my medication as directed.I am hoping to continue feeling better in the days and months ahead.
Tomorrow,I am going to attend church in the morning and as for the rest of the day,I have no other plans.But whatever I do,I hope that it gives me positive benefits.
That was my day today and my plans and hopes for the day ahead.FJ

FJ,

Sounds like the snow has reached your area a bit. Your blog post sounds positive, I like that, you are on the right track.

For me I feel I should turn off the computer Friday night when I come home from work and not turn it on until Sunday late. I can't seem to say NO to going places I shouldn't and just wasting time when I could be getting other things done. I found a Psychologist that I saw a few times when I first moved here lately and am going to see him on the 19th. I have so much to share and to get his take on it, perplexing stuff from my early life.

Take good care, have a good week, Frank. I don't feel I have much to say so will hold off on phoning, just me going through a time of struggle. If you want would love your prayers. Your friend,
Stan

Thanks for the encouraging blog post. Truly appreciated.

The snow really didn't hit my area. We were snow free in my hometown. We just got rainy days and it was also chilly, but no snow. I know that this does not mean that we won't get any, but right now, it has been nice, though it has rained here and there and again, it has been chilly.

If you will still be online tonight, there will be another blog post upcoming. It is simply what I did today and how church was. So far, the church where I have been worshiping at has been wonderful. The people, including the pastor, have all been very loving towards me. I am glad that I decided to pick this particular church. I guess that what they say about the lord Jesus, alongside his father God, working in mysterious ways rings an element of truth here. I guess that the lord guided me there and I am glad that he did. Again, if you will be still online again tonight or even tomorrow, there will be a new blog post up and coming.

Take your time regarding phoning me. I understand your struggles. I have also been struggling lately as well with various things. You are not alone. The only advice that I can give is this; hang in there fellow brother in healing, you will get through this. Just tough it out and really try not to give in to the desire to visit sites that you shouldn't be visiting. Try to stay away from the computer when you have the temptation to visit them. Better yet, why not visit a site where you can get spiritually upbuilded and learn more about God and his son Jesus Christ. I do each and every time and I also listen to online sermons from the radio ministries website that is a part of the church that I worship at. But when you do phone, I do have quite a bit to say when you do. I look forward to talking with you again and hopefully one day, I will get the honor and pleasure to meet you face to face when you do indeed choose to visit my hometown.

Again, hang in there Stan, you will get through this. I know that you will. Just keep fighting that temptation and it will eventually go away. Take care Stan.FJ
