I Can Return

I can return. I can regain rationality. Gradually I'll return to work, Doing a little more ev'ry day. I can regain my focus of mind, Doing only one thing at a time, Being patient that all will get done. I can regain all my energy. I will cook and improve my diet, Gradually build good sleep habits, Until I'm healthy and strong again. I can regain stable emotions. I will not brood in bleak seclusion, Nor keep my yearnings pent up inside. I can help and serve others again; But, I must not disregard myself. An empty jar has nothing to share. I can return.

Thank you, Heidi. Used poetry to sum up the advice I've been given this month. It's been a rough time for me. Now, to follow the plan.
