TODAY’S “MY LIFE” SHARE...

What a day yesterday was! The last few days, I've been working flat out on a Presentation I am going to be doing at the university at the end of the month for the Logotherapy Advanced Course students and trainers and a visitor I have invited to join us who is associated with Childline... she is interested in my work.

The presentation is on Viktor Frankl’s Logotherapy Dream Interpretation (LDI).  As I have experienced so much success in this area I'm totally fired up about it and even more so, because I've added a new dimension to it with the daydream worlds of abused children and adult survivors of child abuse. I am rather overexcited to say the least to share all of this with others.  Viktor Frankl’s (LDI) is a little known or understood technique which I have discovered to be a most powerful and effective therapeutic tool in helping others and myself to find the “meaning/guiding messages” in dreams.  It does not matter how bizarre a dream seems to be, it holds gems of personal revelation for improving one’s life and/or finding healing. 

I am also overexcited about my blog having started up on Friday... as a result... to be expected... only 6 hours sleep on Saturday night and just over 6 hours last night which is really not good for me at all!  I’m running on a constant high adrenaline output again... well, that’s what I believe is happening... it’s been something I’ve struggled with for as long as I remember and it feels terrible when it happens.  As if my body is on high alert, because there’s too much going on and the outcome is unpredictable... inducing some trepidation.

I’ve been having quite heavy heart palpitations for a few days and nights now as a result... quite scary... and yesterday I woke with a migraine of note!!! I tried to have a nap later in the day, but only had only 10 minutes before the phone rang... and that was the end of it. I was in such a deep sleep at the time I woke shaking all over! I had to take something for the migraine in the end, so that eased by the evening thank Heavens, but I was still so tired that I couldn’t work or function properly for the rest of the day!

On Saturday I spent R2500 on new tyres for my previously owned car I purchased with the help of remaining GoFundMe donations and three family members (My brother in law and Sister in Canada, and my beloved daddy) who so generously chipped in to help me.  All my savings are now gone which is something that I know is going to cause a sense of insecurity in me.  I need to know that there is always something saved for emergencies.  I had dreamed of using what was left of the GoFundMe savings to have a door put through from our lounge to our garage, to open up our little house more... but that dream is gone for now.  I’m just so glad I have a car again.  Our last car was stolen last year 1st March... I will share that story sometime if I remember.

We believe that one of the men who took the old tyres off of our car, might have removed three of the wheel nuts... We saw they were missing after the car was done and then on the sly away from his boss, the man offered to sell some to my son, saying he has some spares in the back!!!!  We honestly believe he was trying to sell us our own wheel nuts, because we had not noticed them missing before!!!  Now we have to buy those too, because we did not trust the man at the garage, who was trying to sell them to us.  So far, we think that the handbrake doesn't work... and, there are lights not working.  But all in all, it's a great car and so beautiful.  A few scratches on the side, but 100% lovelier than the broken old car we had stolen!  Such a blessing!

Somehow we have Miraculously never gone without... my daughter arrived yesterday unexpectedly with R1000 towards the car... what a blessing she is to be so kind to keep a promise that she made some time ago, to help me with the car.  She is so precious! That will ease my mind as there are still things to pay for on the car so that it will pass the roadworthy test.  She also bought me salad ingredients which I feel so grateful for, because I am controlling totally and very successfully my gout and type 2 diabetes, so salad is a very important part of my diet as I cannot take the medication for either... another story for another day!
