Today, I helped a friend. I shared a part of me that I really keep to myself.

Held my sons hand through a dentist appt and kept him calm..I think the laughing gas helped a bit too! Yesterday I bought tulips for my mother for easter. visited relatives this weekend..another big step! I avoid most relatives due to reminders but I pushed myself...i did alot of good things this easter weekend..as well as took care of another special needs child..have not lost my temper once!

morning......yeah im a member of another forum and we have a 'cushion corner..'... all new members recieve a cushion...and we all hang out in the cc room for our day 2day stuff.....i was hoping this forum would get some kind of cc room happening.....we need a happy room.......this is a very emotionly heavy forum......we need a happy room to enter...after we've been diary reading.....or reading some of the heavy posts.....i know i feel your stories when i read them.....i would like to be able to head to the coffee lounge afterward.....anyhoo...justa thought...
OK so today, I wrote about a few good things this morning...so this is kind of putting the end to the day.
I went out late afternoon, I was pressured the whole while and it got me a little pissed, so I came home, I did not do what i set out to.
But I felt pissed at this also and it seemed soo negative when I am determined to work through and do this...so I went back out to the same place and got done what I needed to do. Yay huh...
yeah I am pleased with this, but I doo know I have to take it slower maybe still because I did do alot that I would not do perhaps already...I have done something everyday this week that was new and good, I do feel a little like I have been through the wringer but hey...I can slow some perhaps well not tomorrow but Wednesday..so after my morning of getting stuff on my list done..I kept with it. Good day.
You know I pushed too hard, I have to slow for sure. But I am still feeling that I did good, just maybe too full on, so slower but still FORWARD. and taking care and self kindness...this is next I hope.

Hi Fin
How About you put some smaller steps in between. What mean by this is if you struggle to do something big like say " do all your shopping in one go when its too busy" go at quieter times but buy less and go twice a week instead of once, or even try and go 3 or 4 times a week but still at quiet times, less hassle less rush and less stress. Does not have to be shopping maybe just something you find hard, break it down into smaller bits.
keep posting as that is getting realy good and all be good to yourselves, you deserve it.

Hey, that takes willpower Pandora, you really toughed it out today, good for you.
I attended a committee meeting today to help plan a yearbook/time capsule/CD release kinda thingy at the local brain injury association today. We all got talking about how hard it is to define who we are now since our injuries. I used to call my career "me", subconciously of course. Someone I just met today said obviously I am "an artist" after looking through my book of B&W photos. I thought, "if you only knew how much OTHER shit I am", and chose for myself the title of "Coffee Connesiuer". A little less regal ;P OK, it was funny at the time. I have always been self-deprecating.
Drove one of the girls home, went for a walk, had a really good session with my therapist... all in all, a pretty durn good day!! Yaaaaaaaaay :)

Hi Fin
You dont have to be sorry about anything. The fact that you are doing your best is all that matters or even that you are doing is good.
If you are not sure where to put a posting do what i did the other day with one.
At the begining just write, " If this is in the wrong place could you please move it for me, Thank you"
Nobody is going to think anything is wrong with that , and if it's in the write place ok, if it's not no problem there either.
Hope that helps Fin. I will read what ever you want me to i realy do not mind helping you if i can. But remember to take everything slowly and with small steps not great big jumps.
Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare, you will get there but take your time.
Best wishes
