Thought of the Week

  • "Having OCD is like being allergic to life - every waking moment is spent in a state of mental hyper-sensitivity.”

Why am I returning to this blog after so long?

During this next year, this blog will "document" Devin's OCD, and the improvements she makes. In no way is this blog meant to make anyone feel sorry for our trials. We know that trials are merely blessings in wolves' clothing. Because any improvements will be minor and subtle as the days go by, I want to write it all down so that I can look back and see how far Devin has come. If you are a first-time reader, I suggest you begin by reading this post. It will give you some background and show you a starting point. Comments are welcome, but please be kind. This is not an easy illness to deal with. We're all just doing the best we can.

Re-Committing

With my new calling, I don't attend Sunday School or Relief Society.  I've had a hard time feeling connected to the ward.  I've been rebellious.  I've used this as an excuse to not do my studying for these classes.  In some ways, I've been turning into the lost sheep.  I can't let others' actions (or lack of them) make me get lost. Today, I made 2012 Commitment Calendars, and I found the ones I made for 2011.  I'm recommitting to do those things that I set out to do back in January.  Many of these things I've done well at, some of them I've been ok at.  Others I've neglected. 
  • Kneel to Pray Twice a Day
  • Personal Scripture Study 
  • Reading the SS Lessons and the Relief Society Lessons
  • Read the Ensign every month
  • Attend the Temple
  • Visiting Teaching
  • Exercise
  • Arise and Retire at a decent hour
  • Date with Darin
