Odds and Ends

[MrDon]

Lately, I've been getting the somatic therapy done on me and it has been pretty powerful. I am keeping a journal of what I notice is changing or taking place in me and that is helping me to really see what is going on. There are some very good positives coming out of it. I will be happy if this continues as maybe for the first time in my life, I am on to something that will reclaim my body. I've still got a ways to go through this therapy but so far it looks promising.

Last week I was really getting to a point where the ol bank account looked pretty scary. Business has been so slow this past month and last week I at least got to do a computer temp job (now just waiting on the check..come soon check, come soon). I hope this month picks up with the massage because the income is just too close for comfort.

Last night I was out on the phone to a friend and tripped over my feet which sent me hurling towards the wall of our house. I scrpaed up my feet, my leg and hit my neck and head against the wall pretty good. Needless to say, I'm a little sore today! I hate it when I trip over my two feet. And this was just after a nice Cranial Sacral session where I was feeling pretty good.

Tonight I went back to the Victims Services organization. Myself and 3 others have been doing volunteer table massage on people going through their treatment program (the goal is to do 4 mondays on the same person). A lot of the clients keep canceling or not showing up and that is sad but I fully understand it. Hopefully they will have the courage to come back next week. I was telling a couple of the other people that some of these people are probably scared and they asked me what I meant. I explained from my own personal background just how hard massage can be. I do feel honored though that these clients are doing this and I feel honored that I have gotten to do massage with them.

Anyway other than that, I'm just hoping the massage business picks up soon! Otherwise, it is going to be another tough month! There was one promising piece of information on a prospective client that I have been working on today so I hope it comes through.

Anyway, just odds and ends about my life lately and sort of where I am at. Of course my life seems to change by the day anyway.

Don,

In spite of what maybe is happening in your life, you always manage to have a positive outlook. Your 'odds and ends' are always welcome here, you know?

I hope the job situation gets better, for money anyway. Your work with the massage therapy, I can imagine it would be difficult for some people to get massage if they are dealing with abuse issues. I have never been able to handle massage or other forms of 'therapeutic touch', even when people have said how wonderful it is for them.

Take good care of yourself, and thank you as always for posting.

Don,

no business that you start yourself, is ever going to just boom, it takes a lot of hard work, and believing you can do, you will get setbacks, but try and see what is going wrong, and maybe take advice on how to fix it.

I really think you can do it.

On massage itself, yes I've seen it done, and I soppose like Leosha says, it is difficult for a stranger to let touch you, but I really would like to have it done, just to maybe relax a little.

Who knows, maybe one day,

wish you well, and keep us posted,
