What Moved You Emotionally Today?

Not open for further replies.
Day 5 or 6, I am not sure. Anyway, I went to the dentist today and I had a check-up and my teeth got cleaned. I only had ONE CAVITY! Yippee!!! It is nice to have something go right for a change, everything in my life had seemed so depressing, but at least I have this to feel happy about. The last check-up, I had 11 cavities, in case anyone is wondering why I would be happy to have just ONE CAVITY! LOL...
 
I have not read his book, so I am not sure what "nameless dread" is. Can you explain it briefly to me?
You could google it Sheila, that would give you a basic idea.

This dread, if I get down to the basics of it, is that I would end up homeless again I just have to remember to pray, because sometimes the dread overwhelms me and I forget to do so.
So you kind of do get it. You found the dread under the worry. So perhaps self soothing, care and love for yourself?

Once, I had so much dental work to be done that it seemed I was always at the dentist's office! I call that "The Year of the Dentist!!" :p

The 11 cavities took me about 2 and a half years to get handled. I had to take it slowly due to lack of funds. I'm still in shock that I only had 1 this time. I think I have been dreading this dental appointment for awhile now, so I am feeling much relieved about it not being anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be.

I am so happy for you! It's Amazing to have only one cavity! The last time I went to the dentist, a few years ago, she told me I had like 7 cavaties that weren't major, but that she would be watching. I am too afraid to go back to the dentist now...to find out the damage...and the expense and time that would be involved in fixing it. I just don't want to deal with it, so I'm ignoring it. :sour:
 
Day 7

I placed in large so it was legible...it inspired me.

Trust me on this one, it can only stay the same or get worse when you try to ignore it. Go to the dentist, work out a payment plan, see if he has any hours that don't take up time from your job(s). Some dentists have evening or weekend hours. As to the payments, there are plans that denists can hook you up with that will pay the bill for you and let you pay it off in time payments. Check it out, it may not be as bad as you think it will be. You don't want to lose your teeth!
 
I don't know what day this is for me, so I am just participating on a daily basis here until further notice. I like this thread!

We got about 6-8 inches of snow last night. That moved me emotionally enough to get outside and shovel a bit. I guess I was afraid of slipping and falling on some ice later on if I didn't. Also, it is really pretty out there, looking out the window is a joy. Joy is an emotion, right?
