wondering if I should be here at all... I've not put this as a top priority although I've done the morning pages and have tried doing the affirmations (though at night rather than in the mornings.) This morning I forgot to do the morning pages.

I think that I did the artist date yesterday.. I didn't plan it exactly, but on the way home from work, I stopped at my favorite cemetary and took pictures. I've done this before but never in 35 degree weather and never at dusk and not with a digital camera. yeah. I think that was my artist date.

maybe i'm supposed to be here after all.

I already wrote under "difficulty" about my first week,but I'll just mention here, one reason it's hard for me: I think if I had to go to show up at a class, I would hold myself more accountable to do the "homework". This way, it's just too easy to forget to do it, and even to check in here, it just doesn't seem to be "real" enough, for me. Any thoughts on this?
How does one get over the feeling of, "Oh,it's only in cyber-space, it doesn't really count."???

interesting, yeah, for some reason it is more difficult this time. well, i will say this, then. i expect you to post every day how you are doing and i expect it to be positive (i.e. that you are doing the workbook tasks!).

anything you want to discuss, we are here for you.

now, for my checkin: yeah, i think it helps me a bit that i wake up on sunday morning and go "oh s&*#, gotta post for the week, the virtual group needs to get their week started!"... and i quickly read the chapter and post a task for the week.

normally, i would like to take myworkbook to a cafe and mull over coffee and journal until i am set for the week.

ways that the virtual group can be improved:

- provide some ideas on what you need, anything at all is open for discussion!

- i need to see more postings, though i know i am even a bit shy about posting things here

- if you want to do another task from the week as a group, make the suggestion here, it will be considered!

- reread the roll call! when youa re feeling like you are not involved with a group! everyon ehere wants to get something out of these 12 weeks, so know these people are coming back here for a sense of group too! give some of yourself, you just might get something back!

tata, have a good week! i am here!
