General How Was Your Day?

Holy Crap!

42 ???

You're just a kid still !!

Exactly!

@grimalkin Thanks for sharing, life for you sounds really positive with exciting things ahead. That's great to hear hope it goes well. (BTW, 42? Are you kidding me?) Yeah you're still young!

Its so nice to hear people focus on what they do have and appreciate the little things like nature and the spring. We ALL spend so much time trying to stay buoyant for someone else and lose ourselves in the cycle sometimes, we forget to stop and just take in the day.

Haha, I know! 42 is young! (40 is the new 30? I always laughed until I turned 40 and still felt...30) And I always joked I am 29 with experience - drove my sufferer nuts when I did that, I have no idea why. I was always like...I KNOW I'm not really 29. It's a funny! A joke!

And March 8th? Oy. MAY 8th. MAY.

All of you (including you, @Snowflakes) have been an immense help to me here. Hearing the perspective from sufferers as well has REALLY been helpful to see the other side - it gives me some solace that maybe somewhere my sufferer doesn't really see me as a horrible person, it's just his illness. Not that he sees it that way.

So. How is everyone today? I had a cute little leezard visitor (I think a house gecko) on our kitchen window last night, nomming bugs. I have to say, I do love the desert. Today is another amazing spring day - sky bluer than you can imagine and the mountains looking larger than life.

I had a great day today! Cleared my workload and pretty much spent the rest of the afternoon laughing with and getting to know new colleagues. Smiling is good.:D:wacky::hilarious:

Thought I would also share that here in the UK it is the London marathon this weekend. This years main sponsored charity is the 'Heads together' campaign. Its all about de-stigmatising mental health issues and getting it out in the open to be as recognised as physical disabilities and support people. Its being promoted by the royals who will be there.

Wish I had trained last year so I could maybe have entered this year. I'm sponsoring a couple guys from work who are running though. I would love to run for a PTSD charity next year and raise some money. :coldfeet::wtf:

This thread is going to save me by holding me accountable. I certainly can't come here every day telling you all that I've had a bad day just because I've lost the battle with my sufferer. I am the eternal optimist. I did not burn any bridges. I may win the war.

I just think the stress of 10 years finally caught up with me. I'm going to find my happy place again and very soon. I learned here recently I should have put on my oxygen mask first a long time ago.

I wonder if the Senior Center gives dance lessons. "Sweating to the Oldies" is what I need :D

Take care all :hug:

Absolutely.
Eternal optimists.
I'll stick with that too.
In between battles my pain has abated at times, I'm a week away from surgery, got to work and travel and meet some inspiring people this weekend, found the strength to be nice and send support and tlc to my s/o and family.
Life is pretty good today, maybe a 7.5 on a scale to 10.
Thanks all.
You go Snowflakes!
