January 18, 2010

It's been ages since I posted to this blog, so I thought I should get active again. I've been weaned off most of my psychiatric medications, and am now coming off Abilify. It will be interesting to see if I can do it without going into a depression.

My current spiritual practice is to read the Revised Common Lectionary Scriptures for the day, plus a few words from The Word is Out(Chris Glaser's daily meditations), Mornings With Thomas Merton, and a saint from All Saints. All this while sitting in front of my light box consuming my only cup of coffee. Afterward I meditate for twenty minutes to half an hour, closing with prayers for various people.

When I'm feeling up to it (and I haven't been lately) I go on the treadmill for two half hour sessions. The reason I haven't been up to it lately is that I've been having problems resulting from my prostate cancer. However, I hope to resume my treadmill sessions soon.
