Mile 0

I'm not sure about my blog entries. My mind is racing as it usually does when I start something new. I think I should look in my stack of "Bipolar Books". I think of that stack as a "refresher course".  So I gather the 5 text books, 2 workbooks, one book on positive quotations and my writing journal. I stare at them, not sure how to start, but I realize that the books can't tell my story. They sit unmoved in a stack on my bedside table along with my colorful bag of medications and the book I'm currently reading... there are always piles of books. They help quite my mind. My journal is always there too just in case I need to slow myself down. Reading and writing are my weapons. A journal doesn't make judgements, it doesn't matter what you write, it is your own space to fill... where the world can't see.
