It is snowing rather heavily here today. Looking out my windows in the various directions, I can't see the road, the river, or the neighbors on either side. "I'm in my own little world here," I thought and then I had an idea.
Maybe I could borrow RD Man's idea and make my own little world - here on the SCC. It would be different though - cause I'm a Penguin not a man. I need a place of my own, where others can come, (You don't have to be a Penguin) to listen or to talk about their own little worlds, or if they can, give me pointers on how to do this flying thing.
I was told it's an impossible feat for a Penguin - flying that is - and well that made me mad. So I have decided, that this Penguin will fly......Somehow I will figure it out.....in my Rookery. And When I do.....I'm gonna fly right into that guys yard, bring all my friends and make a new home. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
(That's me and all my friends)
So here is the start, because I've already said I'm not looking back at those other days. On Day 3- I have been concentrating hard on not letting the Junkie have any control over my thoughts. I have started using the practice of Mindfulness - where I watch those thoughts. It is tricky and I have a lot of practicing to do, but I see that it can be beneficial for me not to let those thoughts come through me like a runaway train, and then I get hijacked.
Along with this practice is being aware of your breathe. It is amazing how this works and it quickly brings you back into the moment. Just concentrating on your breathe...suddenly those thoughts have gone....because you can only really pay attention to one thing at a time....your breathe. Anyway, practicing that to.
The other thing I am doing is smiling....at myself....and my efforts. Just acknowledging that I am a quitter makes all the difference in the world....IT MAKES ME HAPPY....And that feels good.
I am in control today!!!!
Welcome to the Rookery
