Okay, I'm gonna try to keep it simple here. :O_o: I'm feeling wide awake. I fell asleep, no problem, but only managed 3 hours of sleep. I might try to go back to sleep here in a few minutes... I don't have to get up until 9:00am (it's just before 6:00am right now). :joyful: I'm feeling...

I'm grateful for rainy days and rainy nights. I'm grateful that the guys have been working diligently around here to clear the drains, scrape down the sidewalks and re-plow the driveways while things are melty... because I'm not looking forward to seeing chunky ice covered everything Friday...

LMAO! :roflmao: You should totally be my personal trainer, y'know. Plus someday I'll get in touch with my anger, and I'll work my way through a bunch of speed bags, too. Seriously, thanks so much for the encouragement! It totally made me laugh and smile! :D So... yesterday I went to the gym...

Thanks! :joyful: I sometimes take breaks from writing in my personal journal or in my Trauma Diary, and then I have a hard time getting back into it. :meh: Writing ALWAYS helps me though. Hope you get a chance to write today. My goals... REST AND RELAX! ...not a goal, a demand! Wish me...

I'm sorry it's bad right now, @Britt.f7. I hope you feel much better really soon. :hug: I'm grateful for Balance Bars. I'm grateful for KitchenAid mixers. I'm grateful for rainy days. I'm grateful for snow, too. (There's talk of a Texas Hooker coming to Chicago... Haha! You have a dirty...

Oh my God, yeah... that's exactly how I feel lately... since December really. :laugh: Me, too. I felt tired last night after having a great day, and ended up getting to sleep after only maybe 45 minutes of tossing and turning, slept great for 7 hours and then woke up with no problem, feeling...

Spent the whole day puttering around the house, going up and down the stairs. I'm feeling it in my legs. I say that counts! I'm really hoping to walk outside and/or get to the gym tomorrow. It's been hectic this week. :confused:

My goals for today were to putter around the house and update my self-care checklist. I actually wrote this long list of things to choose from while puttering, but I didn't get to all of them. I was frustrated with my husband because he was a little upset with me for not doing specific things...

Hey, I do that hypervigilance thing on projects, too. I did a little better on a project yesterday... I tried to relax and I just kept telling myself I could adjust it later if it was actually bothering me. Of course, today it was actually bothering me, and I just never had time to work on my...

I'm glad you're back around now. I did the same thing, too... I was MIA for a couple weeks between late January and early February after being on the forum everyday for weeks before that. I was depressed and got this weird idea that I didn't deserve to talk to people on the forum, that I...

:joyful: I'm grateful for good hair days. And I'm grateful for cherry cheese pie, I cannot tell a lie. (We made cherry cheese pie in honor of George Washington for President's Day, and ate it yesterday and today... it was so yummy.) :hungry:

Clouds by Zach Sobiech Recommended to me by @TwoDee2ThreeDee Well I fell down, down, down Into this dark and lonely hole There was no one there to care about me anymore And I needed a way to climb and grab a hold of the edge You were sitting there holding a rope And we'll go up, up, up But...

Love this song! I hadn't heard it before. Thanks for sharing! :joyful:

My Codependent Anthem :confused: :rolleyes: ;) :shy: :roflmao: Shame by Stabbing Westward I only see myself reflected in your eyes So all that I believe I am essentially are lies And everything I've hoped to be or ever thought I was Died with your belief in me, so who the hell am I I...

Update... Sunday was a great day... and I did a good job letting everyone vege out (I can kinda be a drill sergeant about things... always making sure people are busy finishing things they need to do). :playful: Everyone was happy. I didn't fit in any exercise, the day just flew by. That's...

I'm grateful for snow. It's just so beautiful and I love to see it snowing... which it was all day today. Which worked out well, because my son went on a ski trip. I'm grateful that everything went well on his outing and he had a lot of fun. I'm grateful for having a toasty warm home and...

Oh, I'm so glad I made you laugh. :joyful: Yeah, I love talking to myself, I always get the best answers that way. ;) I'm feeling very content because we had an absolutely fabulous day. But I've had too many really good days in a row here... it's really been sorta perfect since last...

Oh @DharmaGirl, you should totally go swimming. I wish I could go swimming... actually, maybe I should check out this other gym (I'm thinking about getting a new gym membership) that does have a pool. I'm so sorry you had to have back surgery... that must be so painful... but exercise is...

@greenleaf... LOL! :laugh: Ah, I see you are a slave to your feline overlord, LOL! :roflmao: We have Guinea pigs. They're like crazy, nervous, needy cats with PTSD. :confused: I love sitting and holding them, but it's kinda funny how easily they get startled and jump down and run off to hide.

That sounds exactly what like what would have happened at our house, too, right down to not saving birthday cards and my husband offering to search the garbage and everything, LOL! It's really not a big deal that this happened, y'know... I mean, I hope you do know that. These things happen...

I walked and walked and walked yesterday between three different stores. I even felt it in my legs a little bit last night and this morning. So goal accomplished! :joyful: Everyone around here needs a day off to recharge, so I'm not going to worry about getting to the gym today (my husband...

Okay, update... yesterday I ended up spending hours walking around while out and about and at Ikea and grocery shopping at two stores. I even felt it in my legs just a little bit, so it really was a lot of walking. So that's good, goal accomplished! :joyful: Today I'm trying to relax...

I'm so grateful for having a safe, beautiful place to live. I'm grateful for my family. I'm grateful for chocolate banana smoothies for first breakfast and French toast with blackberries for second breakfast today. (Yes, I'm eating like a hobbit today, and oops... I did yesterday, too. Oh...

@Spiderallis, I'm so sorry about your loss... and the loss of manners from related people, too. I went through something like that... the total disrespect for the people who had just died represented by a mad scramble to judge all their material goods and decide what's of value and what's not...

What is my goal for the day? :cautious: To get back on track with exercising. I'm going to go out and get any exercise I can today... even if it's just walking through grocery stores and discount department stores for 2 hours. Tomorrow I'm hoping to get to the gym or walk outside if the...
