5-6 Over the last few days I have been trying to figure out when the last time that I experienced an hypo-mania. I know that 5 wks ago was my last bout with depression. I have been praying hard for it to be removed or lessened & I did receive a blessing from my bishop. I cannot forget the many family members that also fasted for me @ the beginning of April as well. It is probably a combination of both.
This then is a THANK YOU to all those who have kept my family and I in your prayers.
The problem with mania is that what goes UP must come DOWN & although I love the ups I truly want to rid myself of the downs. One cannot exist without the other so I regretfully but willingly want to do everything in my power to remove the ups. I regretfully haven't been very strict on my diet & non existent with my exercise except for weekly tennis lessons with Zack & Zoey.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU ! Chao for now!

The Purpose of Life
4-6 What is the purpose of life? My wife's Aunt Vickie passed away on Tues. April 15th. KJ got a call right after her workout on Monday and her liver and other organs had failed and she was filling with fluids. What a fighter. She fought a great fight and and almost had it beat. I fortunately got to spend some great time with and I will never forget what an incredible woman, mother and aunt she was. She opened up her house for our wedding reception/open house over 15 years ago. My kids loved her to death and I will always remember the card games and scrabble that we played on holidays.
Aunt Vickie did tell my wife something while fighting the MDS that attacked her blood/immune system. "You never know when your last day is so live everyday like your last and appreciate it."
Over 60 days in the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix. Feisty, no one ever got one over on her and she always had the last word. I am so grateful that you could be a part of my wife, kids and my life. We will always remember and love you.
This life is but a test. It may seem unfair, too difficult or just plain not worth it, but it is. What we do here matters. Our relationships and how we treat others are so important that we were given the opportunity to prove to our Heavenly Father that we could choose between good and evil and follow the example of our Savior Jesus Christ. Nothing else really matters. The rest just fills in the holes and cracks along the way. So spend your time accordingly.
I Love You! Nothing is too hard to overcome and I say this often "This too will pass".

The UPS and downs....
5-6 this week I have felt great. I didn't sleep on tuesday night and then crashed about 6pm on wednesday. I'm glad my mania is just hypo-mania and not a 3-4 day no sleep, take me to the hospital, heart beating, mind racing mania. No meds since early december and although my excercise and diet could be much improved. I am trying to keep regular sleep patterns, no caffine, no processed food, no sugars and taking my multivitamin, omega 3, vitamin C and garlic pills.
The bad part of it was that for 15 days I walked around like a zombie. Taking a nap during lunch and feeling like I could sleep forever. I felt that talking was a chore and to make sales was just too much. Although I did get out and talk to people I didn't sell a thing.
KJ then had all my family pray and fast for me on fast sunday(the 1st sunday of the month) and things have surely changed. Thanks family!!!!! Luckily I still have my job & I am #2 & #3 on the rookie reports in the entire company. That's job security. As long as I sell a ton on the days and weeks that I feel good & fight during the times that I don't then I know the Lord will bless me.
