What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

I'm feeling better today though I had a shock after encountering a stray dog while walking mine this morning. My Girls did not take it well and tried to protect me at the same time knocking me down. It turned out to be a good dog that followed us home and ended up crying at my door so I found it's tag and was able to call his owner to come get him.

All turned out well and I found that my docile Big Girl has become quite the protective girl when her mistress is approached without consent! I'm assuming it has to do with all the past dog attacks we have encounter over the years so I'm not upset about this in the least, though I would probably appreciate a little more attention to my commands in the future. :wtf:

A bit muddled and maudlin. It's raining though, so that usually makes me feel a little sad. Not sure which feelings I'm having are actually mine, and what belongs to other people right now?

A lot of mixed emotions lately. Glad to finally be having the surgery and really scared about it to. Glad to finally have the investigation going but scared about it too. Doesn't help that this is the time of year that it happened and has always been difficult.

I hope you weren't hurt when you fell. Good on you for rescuing it and contacting its owner.

I'm feeling okay. I'm on my own but that is fine, I have my dogs. I'm proud I managed to take them for a walk, Max pulls so much it is hard but I managed. Thank goodness when we leave the road I can let them loose. We even saw some friends which was nice, I got to talk to proper people, sometimes I feel I only talk to the dogs.

I'm a little nervous as I have my monthly W.I. meeting tonight. One of the members is coming to pick me up. This will be my 4th meeting, I enjoy them but I still have to force myself to go and be social. I guess it will get easier in time.

(((HUGS))) to all.

Feeling good this morning....or should I say comfortable in my own skin? Just a feeling of being OK with who I am and where I am at, even though things are far from where I would like them to be. Guess I am learning to live in the present. Hey, it's just taken half a century...but at least I am learning.

(((Hugs))) to all that need them.

I'm just getting over being sick, feeling bleh. I don't know how I feel emotionally, I have a T appt. which always makes me anxious. I am also getting ready for camping with my women's group. I love camping! Hopefully T can help me find a happy medium.

I am also getting ready for camping with my women's group.

I hope that camping trip is just what you need: cackles, crickets and campfires.

I feel surprisingly clear-headed since I only got a three hours sleep, but I slept solidly and two of my cats slept right on top of me.:happy:

I'm feeling sad. The hospital has sent my sister back to the nursing home with a temperature and pneumonia. She has advanced alzheimers and it's like they don't care. They don't want to waste any resources on her because she going to die anyway. She is only 64 and it really sucks big time. :mad:

My younger sister will be flying with me to see her, I just hope that she is still with us. Life is so damn unfair. Such a large family and so many are already gone. :cry: It's hard trying to stay positive through all this.

 

[amethist]

Sorry to hear about your sister Loloma. I hope you are in time to see her.

 

[Loloma]

Very tired, going to bed. Hugs to all that need them.

(((((Loloma))))) I hope you and your younger sister can take good-care of one another while you take care of your other sister. That is such a tough situation. Only 64 with Alzei...alzheimers -- that is so unfair. My maternal grandmother had alzheimers. It was terrible to see my mother have to deal with everything; I was a teenager at the time. My mother has two brothers but none of them put the intense care and concern and constant visits in like my mother did.

I don't know if a gift will ever come out of a situation like the one you and your sisters find yourselves in, but, a gift came out of my grandmother's alzheimers: I had frozen myself off from my mother (for various reasons), but seeing the depth of her emotional pain and her care for her own mother (who was not a very nice person) melted away a lot of the ice in me. Prior to my grandmother's diagnosis, I refused any hugs from any of my immediate family members -- a frozen period that lasted at least five years. Not long after my grandmother was in the final stages of her illness, I broke down and hugged my mother. It was like an electric blanket in the hardest winter warmed us both immediately.

Alzei..Alzheimers: as difficult a disease as it is to spell. My heart goes out to you and your sisters. ((((more hugs and a warm blanket in the coldest of times))))

Anxiety...scared. I feel like my family of origin have decided I'm not really worth it anyway.:(
