What Moved You Emotionally Today?

@Recovery4Me Loved looking at your work of art, keep up the good work!

Finally getting back into my usual routine after 2 weeks of snow days off from it. It felt good, like sitting back down into the driver's seat once again!

My psychiatrist listened to me and wrote the prescriptions that I need. This was an acknowledgement to me, that he trusts my judgment and ability to know what I need. He also trusts me at my word. This was comforting.

Day 9: I was moved emotionally by a banging migrane and some level 9 frustration due to multiple phone calls from my Parkinson's friend's brother who called 5 times and disrupted the stuff we had to do today to find legal papers ahead of his seeing a local attorney. Frustrated to the point of whining (not on the phone, but I'm okay to be who I am with my friend and guess what he likes me anyways)... I had to step outside for a time out to calm my thoughts and use "the power of the pause" to realize that regardless of what I was thinking and feeling my friend needed assistance. So I came back, rolled up my sleeves, found the paperwork after some more phone calls and gave the assistance out of care and respect for my friend.

4 asprin have not knocked this headache... and I shouldn't have done that... but dang it, I did the right thing for my friend. Feel pretty damned sorry though for his brother when I meet him in a couple weeks (for the first time). My impression? Not very damn impressed.

Edited to add: Not my "best" post but an honest one. I'll try to let it go and scan the world for something more generally beneficial tomorrow.

@Recovery4Me : Your art work is gorgeous. I really like how filigree it is. :hug:

I was moved my myself getting up in the morning - not feeling tied up and dead. And by my landlords who were already worried because my car was standing in front of the house and they expected me to be ill. When I told them that I just had a short vacation, they seemed rather relieved.

Day 12 moved to anger at the way I was invalidated by my family and the manner in which they justified what they did.

@SheilaKathy & @Anrish ...thanks for your kindness. I didn't answer for a bit cuz the piece isn't finished and I am shy about that kind of stuff. But then I thought...hey I am now boarder lining on being rude. :speechless:So now I did a normal response :cautious: and said thank you. (((hugs))) Whew! lol

Day 11:

I watched Big Hero 6, which won acclaim and everyone was hugged through out the whole film.
Here is a minute of animated mushy hugs to make you giggle:

Day 10: What moved me emotionally today was going to a shop and running into a student and acquaintance from the Y where I used to work and teach. It closed fairly recently... bankruptcy and will not reopen. But that wasn't it. She shared that she joined another gym and while she was away her home was robbed and her items thus far unrecovered to the tune of over $20,000. Many of the items from her native Germany which had sentimental as well as $$$ value. She shared that ever since then, she's had a difficult time with being able to leave the house.

She knew me well enough to know some of my more personal struggles... and I felt moved that she chose to share that with me and we talked a while. She knows I understand. She knew I would. She trusted me to tell me something personally difficult. That was what moved me.

Day 12, talking In a meeting at work about the reasons why I know longer wanted to run the social committe I recalled the amount of abuse I got from people over the organising of the Christmas party. I began to get really quite upset, in a roomful of people I didn't know very well, which is not me at all. I guess it was sadness and anger. Its an improvement that I can admit the way people treated me over the whole thing was abuse. I guess it's an improvement that I'm beginning to show my feelings in public.

I was moved to despair today, by someone giving me the same old answer to my prayer request as usual, that instead of others praying for me, that I am the one that needs to pray. When I get desperate, I don't think to pray, I just feel overwhelmed and hopeless. Sometimes when a person asks for prayer, it is because they feel helpless to pray for themselves or they feel out of touch with God. I wasn't looking for a lecture, I was looking for others to pray for me. It felt like having the ball thrown at me and it hitting me in the face, rather than someone else praying for me because I feel too weak to do so myself.

Day 11 I was moved as I went to the beach and was present at the beach with my artist friend. I was really there. So much so I was really overwhelmed when I got back to the flat.

@SheilaKathy

Dear Heavenly Father,
Our sister in Christ asked for another to join her in the power of prayer, so I will now openly petition in the other person's stead. We often come so humbled and frustrated not understanding Your plan...give us patience. We often repeatedly knock on the door, have Jesus hear my friend Sheila and whisper compassion to her heart. Help her concern be addressed in a manner that will exalt Your glory, within Your season and let her know that she is a loved child of God, precious, a treasure both on Earth to us and to You in heaven.

This I ask in Christ name,
Amen
