Jokes! Lots and lots of jokes!

I love jokes alot.

I love them so much i want a funny funeral. Like an open casket where i’m dressed really stupid and they play a movie where shows pics of me eating things spilling it on my shirt while it plays serious and emotional music.

I love jokes alot, i have an addiction to them really, sometimes it’s not good.

My dad always said he wanted clowns at his funeral. In the end, he decided against it. He was picturing a peaceful death after a long and full life. The reality was a lot more tragic than he imagined. I did DJ his wake though.

I have adjusted my list. These are the things I do now to feel good:

  1. Pray Lectio Divina, and morning and evening prayer, every day.
  2. Pray Rosary, in a group, every day.
  3. Attend mass, every week.
  4. Mindfulness breathing meditation 15 minutes, morning and evening.
  5. Yoga asanas 20- 35 minutes, every day.
  6. Practice piano, for 45 minutes, every day.
  7. Compose music, as the mood strikes, and as often as possible.
  8. Foam rolling 5-6 rounds, as needed.
  9. Heat packs to neck, shoulders and upper back as needed for pain
  10. Get 9- 9.5 hours of sleep a night, every night.
  11. Volunteer with my church.
  12. Love up my cat, “Simba”.

Another thing that I’ve taken up lately is that I practice the Hindu form of folk medicine: Ayurveda. I combine it with conventional western medicine.

When I first started on the oral form of Risperdal, back in 1996, I had a really bad case of akithesia. It was so bad that I could barely function. But, I didn’t even consider that I could ask to be taken off of the stuff. I just endured and suffered. Over the years, my body just adjusted to the medication and grew used to it, I guess, and I no longer had akithesia over time. I never reacted to the meds, Geodon or Seroquel with akithesia like I did with Risperdal. So, I guess I just lucked out with those two meds.

I meditate for half an hour in the morning and half an hour at night. It brings calm and peace into my life. I know it is not for everyone, especially if you are psychotic or symptomatic, but for me it is a positive in my life.

Oh, that is just great, Csummers! How consistent are you with the Ayurvedic health practices? I do them every day. They make me feel very well cared for. How about you?
