72. I am honest and forthright with people.
73. I like to cook for people. I get pleasure from feeding guests.
74. I am willing to change. Which is more than you can say for a lot of people.
75. I don't panic in emergencies.
76. I've learned that inward success is more important than outward success.
77. I have no interest in meeting celebrities. Screaming over stars is lame.
78. I can sew, crochet, cross-stitch, knit, tat, and make doll clothes.
79. I like arranging flowers.
80. I know how to make do with what I've got. Usually. Sometimes I pine for what I can't have, but in general, I don't let it bother me.
81. I'm getting more comfortable with being "broken." I'm starting to feel ok about the fact that this is, more or less, the way I'm going to be for the rest of my life. I'll never be normal. And that's not so bad. I can still be a good person, even if I'll never be what I might have been without the trauma.

Doesn't those sentences count for 81, 82 and 83 ? :confused:

51. I volunteer to take blood pressure for the renters (where I live) who need to keep a record.

52. I’m learning to respect my true limits (physical, mental, moral, psychological) since I’ve been dealing with PTSD, I used to be in competition with myself and try to go further with all my limits (true, imaginary and implied). So one aspect I’m dealing with is the battle between PTSD and my Ego. Negotiation time with me, myself and I.
53. I know that I can count on my forum friends when I’m feeling low and that they will not panic nor feel ill at ease like my other friends or family. Definitely easier to deal with my symptoms with (((((forum friends)))))
54. I’ve got a good relationship with my family doctor; we’re an “old couple”. I was in my second year university and she was a resident when we met (1997).

9. I stand up for my values.
10. I help people when they really need it.

82. I can paint walls and do small home repairs.
83. I care for our pets (spay, neuter, shots, flea care, quality food) but don't prolong their lives when they're in pain.
84. I try, as much as I am able, to never hurt anybody.
85. I work to maintain a reasonable weight (Ok, it's a little unreasonable right now, but I have plans to deal with this this summer) and stay attractive for my husband.
86. I try to minimize the effect of my PTSD symptoms on my family. I really, really work hard to let them know that it's not their fault and that I value everything they try to do to help me.
87. I manage our money adequately, if not spectacularly.
88. I keep the kids in shoes, clothes, coats, pajamas, swim-suits and books on a VERY limited budget.
89. I pay my library fines without resentment, pretending I am "supporting the library." :D
90. Bear and I tithe every paycheck to support our church and the work they do to benefit people in our community. Our money goes to support everything from food banks to summer camp for impoverished children in KY.
91. I praise my children and tell them how lovely/handsome they are and how much I love them almost every day.
