1. Hugs to all who need them - for the sad ones "special-anti-sadness-hugs"! :hug::hug::hug:
2. Sun finally cleared the mist. :D
3. Descents always feel kind of...longer than expected. :cautious:
4. Spaghetti carbonara!!! :hungry:
5. Rainy day tomorrow - wow...that's a change...:alien::shifty:

I actually feel like I achieved something at work today.
It's a beautiful sunny day, so why am I wearing jeans and a cardigan?
It hurts when I laugh, or cough, I think it's a result of the tablets I took last night. I definitely haven't been doing sit-ups, despite how it feels.
My best friend's coming to see me tonight. I wonder if she'd agree to an evening walk. I'd like to take her to my new favourite place. The view is pretty special.
My parcels have arrived and are waiting at the post office. I suspect one of them is going to be really heavy- it contains two huge graphic novels. Walking home with them will be fun!

1:^^^graphic novels!!! (run run run and get them now omgs!) ahem. sorry. i mean, wow, that's great.
2: the air is so very moist, it needs wringing.
3: without sun, ripening this avocado is taking...too long.
4: sleep.
5: knitting.

@corvidae you can have my sun, it's 98f in the shade, soo humid, think the whole state needs a ringing out!

Feeling a bit badly s/o caught my cold
but not too badly because I had to put myself back on prednisone (for 3 days) as it was on its way to turning into Bronchitis
wonder how mm is surviving today with the canoeing in this heat?
sleep sounds soo good
have I mentioned how freakin hot out it is?!!

1) @coco9 Codependence normally arrives from a survival conditioning but has many paths: some which are actually positive when boundaries are solid.

2) Within that vein of thought consider some of the basics of why some therapist, teachers, medical people (and so many other professions) choose their fields. (As I learned in CoDA 12 Steps from interaction ...lol)

3) It is hard today for me to be me...I want to subcontract.:clown:

4) I am moving forward by sitting in my discomfort,:cautious: and trying not to allow the stress to take root.

5) I am not at peace but not discontented: :facepalm:: I think I will play for a bit and just enjoy life.

At the end of Thursday I'm thinking:

Thank f$*k thoughts and feelings change

I'm grateful despite the feelings and thoughts I managed to take care

I'm hungry

I don't want to make any grand promises to myself

I really want to do this application

I feel pretty decent

This isn't bait. I find that description of the thoughts I'm having mildly u...

@NatBird I'm sorry I worded that badly, and of course I know your post had nothing to do with me.

I was doing that free associating thought thing and didnt think about how it would look or feel to you, I didnt mean it that way.
I live with teenage boys and kind of argue for a living. It's been hard for me to figure out how to manage a softer side around here
without going over board.

I'm really sorry I made a comment that sounded flippant about really personal feelings.:(

@coco9 i appreciate the apology. I sensed you were showing care and wanting to connect.
I also knew I felt upset by the description and wanted to be honest about that.

I think know what you mean with the free associating thing.
I hope this communication won't make you edit.
I'm really grateful we can communicate about it. Tis all cool **hug** if welcome.

Thank you. I have absolutely no idea how to show any empathy without giving people directions on their lives.
I was having an especially hard time with that yesterday, when I saw your 2nd post I went into a small codependent frenzy.

I was either going to write an essay on every one of your feelings or shut my own off with a fast comment.
I obviously have some stuff to work on. :facepalm:

I appreciate your understanding. :hug:
