because good things require good work
i have migrated here, to Word Press, after a very frustrating last year dealing with Weebly.
when i decided to dismantle my old website, i got to thinking about losing my blog posts and how important it was to keep them. then i thought of my old live journal posts. years ago, dale was supposed to get a program to “grab” them all, but we never followed through. i just figured they were gone. but they were not!
all those live journals, from 2002–2014, are still there! and how happy am i?
i grabbed all of them myself and they are tucked nicely into my private cloud. i realize what a true gift it is to myself that i have all these–thousands of them, days kept and recorded and pondered. what a boon.
i also thought of all of that recorded past because i have begun a new therapy–DBT. (look it up) it is basically cognitive behavioral therapy and a little Freud and a LOT of Zen practices and philosophies all blended together and I wish I had done this, known of this, well before now because i’m pretty sure it will help me change my life for the better, if i let it, if i do the work.
which is not easy, this work. not at all. but you get what you put in, as the folks in AA say–“it works if you work it”
