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

Not sure how to describe the feeling other than empowered. I am finding I can do more, enjoy more and live more fully each day. Not that their aren't PTSD bumps or health bumps, but they no longer derail my whole day. I just deal with them, accept and move on. Its nice to know that I can make choices and follow through and achieve the positive results.

Hugs and hope for great today for all and an even better tomorrow. :hug:
 
Feeling better after walk. Ten minutes in to it my nausea began to dissipate.

@EverOnly358 - less than ten days of cold left! It seems nothing much can move it before 7-10 days. I know the feeling of not knowing how I feel or feeling a bunch of stuff and kind of nutty. I always feel triumphant when I can name it!

@Ms Spock - I hope you feel better soon. I didn't realize what was going on yesterday until way later. Anyway, I'm always rooting for you to feel good. You are such light in the darkness here. I will never forgot how a few words from you once pulled me into the light. Hugs if okay.
 
Breakfast with the online guy connection is over. The drive to our meeting place was almost 30 minutes. With needing to concentrate on driving in the wind and rain, I had forgot about my nervousness by the time I got there. Then up it went again, very soon: I was more attracted to him in person than in his photos, which really surprised me. I mean, he was genuine. We talked and laughed easily and honestly with each other.

I've got butterflies in my stomach, and I can hardly remember when the last time that was! I told him I'd like to see him again in an email.

The ball's in his court now - we'll see what happens. I need to repeat, repeat, repeat my mantra - Be hopeful, but not expectant.

How cool @DMerish! Even if nothing else happens - you had a great experience! I love those kind of butterflies. It does sound as if there will be a next time. I like hopeful but not expectant. I am trying to revise or reduce my expectations.

As for me, I am calm and feeling strong - like I imagined adults felt when I was little - as in competent. Tired though. Will lay down.
 
It wasn't a mod who threatened the ban thing, rather another member. I can't discuss it because I was warned by mods to not bring stuff from a PM out onto the forum.

Honestly I don't think I feel safe here anymore. I got wind of cliquish ness behind the scenes and now see it even more in the posts with blind support for the person who threatened to get me banned. Yeah, no, not safe here in the least. Not now that I see even more people against me.

Thanks to those of you who have been supportive. It's just a shame how one person and their gang can make it miserable for another. It should be about support for all, not just support for those in my inner circle.
