He did. He created a variety of skulls: everything from his first orange paper skull to a flower skull to a PB&J skull to a skull made out of pennies. That’s 365 skulls and counting. (He continues the project today with submissions from readers.) His daily project inspired the book 365: A Daily Creativity Journal: Make Something Every Day and Change Your Life! In it, Scalin encourages readers to create their own year-long project. He shares one suggestion each day to help spark readers’ imaginations. He writes that “a daily project is a personal journey that can offer you a rare opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth with tangible results�...

Today, as it was in April 1939 when I attended my first meeting, the Twelve Steps are to me the heart of the AA program. Desire to stop drinking By the time I gathered up courage to attend a meeting, I had read the Big Book three times. And I had studied several hundred times the pages containing the Twelve Steps and the suggestions on how to use them. They didn’t seem easy to me — they didn’t even seem simple, in spite of the clarity of language. But I was eager to go to work on all of them, for they seemed to me the key to that which I so desperately needed: assurance that I wo...

This research shows that a leisurely walk can increase energy over a period of time. But, once one gets the momentum going – try to keep it up – one day at a time. People who regularly complain of fatigue can increase their energy levels by 20% and decrease their fatigue by 65 percent by engaging in regular, low intensity exercise, according to a new University of Georgia study. “Too often we believe that a quick workout will leave us worn out – especially when we are already feeling fatigued,” said researcher Tim Puetz. “However, we have shown that regular exercise can actually go a long way in increasing feelings of energy – particularly in inactive individuals.” Professor O’Connor, co-director of ...

The other study gives support to the principle of living ‘One day at a time’. Putting feelings into words produces therapeutic effects in the brain Why does putting our feelings into words — talking with a therapist or friend, writing in a journal — help us to feel better" A new brain imaging study by UCLA psychologists reveals why verbalizing our feelings makes our sadness, anger and pain less intense. Another study, with the same participants and three of the same members of the research team, combines modern neuroscience with ancient Buddhist teachings to provide the first neural evidence for why “mindfulness” — the ability to live in the present moment, without distraction ...

At least, I’ve always drunk alcohol. My mother used to put a few drops of whiskey in a bottle of warm water and give it to me when I was a baby. And that was a long, long time ago. I quit school young and went to work on the horsecars as both conductor and driver. At that time, six tickets cost a quarter and so did a half-pint of rye. Every day, I had to make a hard decision. Should I pocket the first quarter I collected, or the second? On good days, I let the company have the first one, and I’d wait until I had sold 12 tickets before stopping the car at Dailey’s saloon. On bad days, I took the first quarter. In any case, service on my car stopped while I went into D...

For a few years this seemed enough, and indeed these two simple ideas are enough to keep me sober. But then I realised that there was more to living than just not drinking. I think this is where the Steps come in as the third concept of AA – recovery. If I follow the Steps (and don’t drink ODAAT and do lots of meetings) I think my life must get better and fuller. I often heard the chairperson of a meeting say at the end “you may leave these rooms and never drink again, if you so desire”. Someone once added “and be happy about it!” which is where AA is...

One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed. We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone forever. The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow. with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow’s sun will rise either in splendour or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet ...

Namely, A TON OF LOWS. I went through my meter's history and 16 out of my last 50 readings were under 90. I woke up last night at 2 am with a reading of 37! The night before 40. And the night before that 3 readings in the 60s before my head even hit the pillow. OH and I'm sitting here sipping a half glass of OJ because I'm clocking in at 91 after 2 hours of volleyball and my track record doesn't exactly indicate that I'm going to hold steady!This all means that, while I've not eaten between 8pm and bedtime (most nights), I've been e... orsa aetas blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1154042 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 03:56:00 +0100 1154042 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1131065&cid=t_256095_134_f&fid=35216&url=http%3A%2F%2Forsaaetas.blogspot.com%2F2008%2F01%2Fthis-blogs-changing.html To track the changes I'm making this year, I've added three columns to my blog. The left-hand column will contain the usual blog stuff, such as links and previous posts, etc. The right hand column is for my One Day at a Time progress.I thought about this and wondered, "Why do I feel the need to share this info?" And I don't really, but I think it's a good way to keep myself somewhat accountable--because this community is really great about commenting and encouraging each other. I also think it's a great way to look back and see what I've been able to do. So, I won't replace the information to the right each time, but instead I'm going to add to it each time and keep a running list of what's been changed.--------------------------------------If it hasn't already become clear, I'm also attem... orsa aetas blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1131065 Sat, 05 Jan 2008 05:01:00 +0100 1131065 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1128777&cid=t_256095_134_f&fid=35216&url=http%3A%2F%2Forsaaetas.blogspot.com%2F2008%2F01%2Fhow.html But first, on a diabetes related note:Has anyone heard of Monogenic Diabetes? A client's father just recently came to the office with an article from a People magazine about this. I'm unbelievably skeptical. I think it comes with the territory-- you know loads of pills to reverse diabetes, that don't reverse diabetes. But, they seemingly have a legitimate website and JDRF's support? So, check it out, let me know if it's bogus, etc.**********One day at a time. What does that look like? For me, right now, it's making one change at a time. I started yesterday and for the next week and a half or so (depending on how well I do, I guess) I'll be cutting out all eating after 8pm. I don't think I really ever thought about what time it was when I wanted a snack.

A dear friend and fellow traveler in recovery said to me "it's never too late to start your day over." How those words have stayed with me. Here, at this moment, I made a decision to share my journey with fellow twelve step travelers on the road to recovery. I hope to reach out and find you on the Web and share our experience, strength and hope with each other.
