first day of december…

rainy morning, trying to stay focused at work but getting sort of distracted (like right now writing this), but i’m trying to collect myself the best i can.

intrusive thoughts are a beast sometimes. it seems the more i try to drive them away, the stronger they get. i guess the solution really is acceptance and moving forward knowing they are just thoughts. writing helps. working, especially manual labor and exercise helps.

playing music and making art helps. maybe i need to paint. i haven’t done that in awhile. there are many ways to paint other than with just acrylic and canvas though.

God, grant me serenity and confidence today. Help me to be present in reality, not just swimming in my head. Amen.
