Following through..... Mood
Monday, April 14, 2008 | A Breaking News story

One of my biggest issues with being BP has been following thru with projects I start.  I'm BIG on ideas and come up with great projects.  Of course the effort has always been fueled with mania. and as usual I get so overwhelmed and start crashing off the mania and I tend to shut down, not completing anything I've started.

Now that I'm more stable in my recovery process, I have decided to pick a project, just one this time and follow thru and complete to the very end no matter what!  My project is to help the Cellphones for Soldiers project.  I heard of this a couple of years ago a news program of some kind and thought is was a great idea.  For those who are not familiar with it you can read up on it online at www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com.

I started with the old cell phones we have here at the house collecting dust.  Then got an idea and off I went!  In the past couple of weeks I have collected around 350 old phones so far, to which I forwarded to the address given for the project.  I sent another package today.  And boy do I feel good.

I have actually reached the other side and followed thru and completed a project for a great cause!  There is hope, people!  We can pull through this debilitating illness and be a productive part of society after all.  You just have to want it bad enough and know this illness is only a part of us and we can overcome it's hold on us. One step at a time, it works if you work it!!  :D

    That's a good cause, I have seen their envelope.

    It sure is hard to strike the balance between hyper-multitasking to little result or obsessing on one thing!
