The balance of rest & work

2.6 out of 5 pucks

I know it doesn't look like work to some, but that's a pic of me at "work": leading music for little kids. I really enjoy it! This is the best job I have ever had and I am glad to be a home business. But I do still get tired. I still get drained.
Today I was a little "knackered" as the british say. I had to get back to my "recharging station" known as my bed for 2 extra naps today....giving me 12 hours sleep. Incredibly refreshing and totally needed. This keeps the "bipolar dragon" at bay. I get super grumpy and then God has given me "an indicator" with this vacant exhausted stare. I try to hide this "battle-weary look" but my wife has a great radar and she will take me by force if necessary to my "recharging chamber"




It is great that she does that. I love her and rely on her as my secret weapon against Bipolar Dragons as she has that "lance of restfulness" that is always vigilant to attack and defend for me.

Father thanks for my lovely wife and for helping me balance out my bipolar. Please continue to give me rest and peace in Jesus name.

Ok----here's my Dad

SO as I write this I am having a "chat" with my dad in Indonesia thanks to the wonder of gmail.
He got married a couple months ago and just mentioned to me now that my new MiL is named Ela and she is a radio broadcaster.

Nice!

Dysfunctional family? absolutely! Do i think my bipolar may be in part due to the craziness coming from his side of the gene pool? Possibly, though my mom is quite weird as well (another time and another story)

anyhow in other news:Toddlertunes.ca is booked for Feb 13th to be filmed on CBC TV's "Living Calgary".
Purdy kewl. It's gonna give me great media for marketing and hopefully a wack of new clients!

Ok I gotta go.

Jesus, thanks for blessing my business and looking after me & the girls. Bless my Dad and draw him to you.
Amen

New Guitar

4.9 out of 5 Pucks

Why so happy you ask? Well, yesterday I was incredibly blessed to find a mint condition Festival series Washburn Acoustic Electric guitar for a mere $200. This guitar retails at between $600-750 so it is an amazing find. I've also been praying about finding a guitar the washburn I was able to play over 15 years ago. Warm, bright sounds that I really like. So there. Not really any bipolar issues to talk about, but my mini concerts are going to sound amazing.


Thanks Jesus for honoringg the secret prayers and desires of our hearts.
I love you and am devoted to you.
Amen

Happy New Year 2009

Here's what I was doing for most of December with Toddler Tunes.

Life has been pretty good though I did crash a couple times, my "down" times only lasted a four-five days all together.

I have fallen out of the bloggin habit, but I hope to get back on the social networking horse....

Right now:

Jesus, you are good and I love you. Continue to heal me and all those who call on your name of bipolar disorder. Amen
