Ommwriter Journal (Thanks a Million, Holydust!!!!)
14 years ago
Simply put, this is quite a lovely new experience. Though I have to say, the experience of all the tools disappearing takes some getting used to. I think this was a good move, however. The past few minutes have more than made up for the hassle of trying repeatedly to download and failing to do so.
That said, I will now move on to the reason I wanted this program in the first place- better journaling free from the distraction of all the tool menus and whatnot that other programs come with.
One of my favorite artists recommended this program to me, and I have to follow her formula for getting her thoughts and impressions of the day down, at least to start. It seems that this sort of reflective therapy would do wonders for me, particularly in the arena of my anger management and better releasing my depression.
Before I go any further in this, Thanks, Holydust!
10 things I'm grateful for today:
-Mustard. I'm truly grateful that someone decided to grind the seed of this tree and make such a delicious condiment, even if it does make a friend of mine go into allergic shock.
-Oxytocin. The "Bonding" Hormone. Release can be triggered by thing I'm grateful for #3-
-Chocolate. I adore this South American alkaloid and thank God for it every time I have it.
-Ommwriter. This program helps me focus immensely on the task at hand and organizing my thoughts has never been easier. However, it is a bit simple for many used to the complexity of MSWord or Open Office.
-Pork. It may not be the cleanest meat on the planet, but it is delicious.
-Soft breezes that just caress your cheek and allow your hair to be parted from your neck. To me, it feels as though God is caressing me as a loving parent does with a beloved child.
-The Food Network. This network not only keeps me distracted when I need it, it also is one of the few channels I can stand to have on all day.
-The show 'My Fair Wedding'. David Tutera may have a sense of style that doesn't always agree with mine, but I can pick his brain for great ideas for Bazil and Lin's eventual wedding during this show. It's an inspiration I'm grateful for and a show we will all watch
and comment on.
-Lawry's Seasoning Salt. If there was a spice called 'win', it would be this blend. I grew up on it and the only thing I won't use it in is baked goods. It is delicious, versatile, and the salt to Tabasco's pepper.
-Lavender. This herb does wonders for my nerves and my attitude. Just one smell of this sweet and spicy herb and I'm suddenly focused and everything that is bothering me becomes absolutely within the arena of things I can handle. Truly a gift from God.
I notice that my ten things are mostly culinary. That doesn't necessarily bother me- I'm a foodie. I enjoy food and the way it can bring people together. Many of the things that make me happy in my memory have food involved.
One nice thing I did for someone else: I made a very nice dinner for Bazil and Lin tonight- Pork loin chops with a warm mushroom, cabbage, celery and onion relish served in a creamy mustard sauce. I also served cheesy (Think au gratin) potatoes as a starch with this meal.
One nice thing someone else did for me: Tylre gave me a point-by-point critique of my Facebook Note today. It gave me a much-needed reality check and truly touched me. I cried and then smiled until I blushed from how much my cheeks hurt. Have you ever noticed how smiling after you cry makes your cheeks cramp up? What is with that?
I feel: Really good right now, like I've been to see a therapist. I don't have all my problems tackled, but I do have a new perspective on them. That in turn is making life easier.
I want: To be seen and recognized. To be cherished as an individual. To get as good as I'm giving. And vice versa. I've just now made the decision that save for spell check, I will make no editorial strikeouts in this journaling process. My life doesn't have erasers. Why should the place where I record my thoughts?
My goals for tomorrow are:
1. Make Bread. At least 2 loaves.
2. Write on my novel. It has been sorely neglected of late and I think it needs my attention.
3. Make something sweet to help remind me that not all in life is bitter. Possibly Jello. Because its fun.
4.Get in contact with someone I've not talked to in a week or more.
5. When I am in a neutral mood, write down what is bothering me of late and determine what it is I am going to do about it.
