Curvy sending out positive thoughts during this time for you. My mother is becoming more and more forgetful and less able to care for herself so I know this is an issue were are going to have to address soon. Iknow it must not be easy for you.
Today I'm grateful that I have a little fur baby to come home to . She is a high maintenance dog, and a lot of work. Yet, I am excited to see her (as she is me) when I walk through the door. There have been many lonely nights that she was there to snuggle with me when I was feeling "low"......
Decided to up my water intake..I really think that is going to a make a big difference for me........My friend did it and has been having some amazing swooshes.
Going to eat with friends tonight, I already know what i'm ordering.....going out to dine is SO HARD, yet I still feel like I should have a life.
My MIL who has just gone on hospice is now moving in with us with her little dog (my husband is her only child and she is not married) . I am feeling a great deal of stress.
Today I am grateful for my friends, even though they are distant, they are there for me every minute through technology. So I'm grateful for technology also.
Wow Snark, i am so sorry about your MIL.....Im' sending positive thoughts and prayers out to you during this time.
Today I am grateful for my warm little house...because it is so dark and bitter cold out today.......I feel safe here..and I'm busy cooking and enjoying a relaxing sunday afternoon at home.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both, @Mrs. Snark and Zumbachica. Mrs. Snark, no doubt about it, having your MIL with you at this time will be draining and emotionally difficult, but I'm a firm believer that the toughest situations in life reveal gifts if we're wise and open enough to see them. Zumbachia it is not easy to see a parent in decline and perhaps it is most devastating to see a once sharp memory become less so. My father just turned 93 and while his mind and memory are sharp as a tack, I'm amazed at how "little" (bodywise) he is. I still picture him as the giant of my childhood. to you both!
Hi all, had a "bad" weekend eating wise..too many carbs, and sugar...bleh....
Back in the swing of things today....
Today i'm grateful for my zumba students...they make me smile on the darkest of days. Today is a dreary monday morning but i'm feeling pretty good, must be this liquid vitamin B12 that I took.
Zumbachica -- I'm glad your mom is ok, that's scary!
I'm thankful for hot soup. Hot soup is so comforting, isn't it? And the smell of vanilla also comforting. It's one of the few scents I can enjoy without triggering a migraine. I actually use vanilla extract as perfume) I've never been able to wear 'real' perfume once I was past the Love's Baby Soft years.
Thankful today for frolicking wildlife that make me smile no matter how cranky I'm feeling. Baby dolphins jumping around are simply impossible to resist.
We are coming to the end of November already! That went fast!
Today I'm thankful for another nice holiday, spent with family. They say you never appreciate what you've got until it is gone, so I want to savor the good times. It was a nice Thanksgiving with my loved ones.
Thankful that i got to see my sons on thanksgiving and we had a great dinner together. thankful that november is over, it wasn't a good month for me! looking forward to december...hope someone is up for a challenge this month.
to you both!
