The Ten Minute Missive - Sample

I AM AWARE THAT.

I need a haircut. And I am aware that I need to have my facial hair waxed again. I am aware that my inner and outer gas symptoms have subsided and I feel that the daily probiotics pill is finally getting things digestively settled down and helping my body do the things that it was meant today. With all the physical digestive challenges I see that my mom, though physically not here with me passed on some of her physical challenges and I know now with all the journaling that I've been doing that I inherited an emotional digestive situation too. Yes, because of my upbringing and the Catholic Church upbringing, I waay down in the recesses of my brain that I always felt that they way I was supposed to deal; with pain was to suck it ion and suffer, suffer, suffer. But not anymore. I now see what is the true, real me and that I am positive and need to deal with pain and problems in a better way-journaling, meditating, taking quality time with myself. So right now and going forward, I see that less is more. I'm aware that I enjoy the pleasure of my own company and find that the more I journal, that more and more things become clearer.

WHAT REALLY DRIVES ME CRAZY IS...

To cure myself of my disease. I am and want to be the healthiest woman living the healthiest life. But my question is: I've worked hard, I do everything that I can think of but I am not cured yet. So, what next, what now, what do I need to do? I must be more and more and more patient with myself. As my daddy used to say, " Time and patience darling." Funny how I used to get so pissed when he used to tell me that growing up but now at the sweet young age of 55, I "get" my Dad. I guess that change in thought pattern along with many others has helped me make the physical improvements in my life. I've always set goals but now the goals I set are personal. My life is finally about me and since I spend so much time writing, I get deeper and deeper and deeper into me and I find more and more and more really, really, really, good stuff. Stuff that I never anticipated was inside me and there's more. I'm no way a void like I thought for many, many, many years. I am a fertile void of infinite possibilities. And I know I will cure myself of all disease with doing all the things that I possibly can think of and there are many, many, many ideas floating through my bodily brains. One thing I am getting better at is breathing. Time's up. I'll take another ten minutes.
