Trust me when I say One day its going to hit you that you woke up happy that You're smiling for no reason that your hands aren't shaking anymore one day you're going to remember what it was like to be you a year ago or three years or even a week ago and going to be so glad that you fought you're going to so glad that you kept going

@Anita The first couple weeks are hard, but you are 11 days smoke free and you don't want to throw that away. I have been there and done that and trust me you will feel worse if you do. So hang in there,it does get easier!!! Play some games, read other peoples post, do what it takes just don't smoke

@Opah You are to funny. Don't sit on the pity pot that long

@Opah yep just don't sit there to long LOL and is was a wise man who told me there is always someone worse off. Sorry about your eye surgery.

@Opah I can so relate to what you are saying. But I remember well what you told me when I was feeling that way. Remember there is always someone who has it worse than us. So hang in there and vent all you want!!! Some one once told me its ok to sit on the pity pot for a bit but don't forget to get up and flush.

Be gentle with yourself You're doing the best You can

Today Let go sweet soul Let go of words to small for your courage Let go of thoughts to little for your dreams Let go of anger or frustration of comparison of discontent Grab on to bravery Seek love seek kindness seek joy Dance today sing today be free today Live your day fully

Lol I have had days like that!! And I would think thank goodness its Friday. I also would think don't expect rational behaviour out of irrational people. Have a good weekend

Music is a piece of art that goes in the ears straight to the heart Sometimes music is the only thing that gets your mind off of everything else

Every day may not be good but there is something good in everyday

But the most beautiful things I life are not just things they're th people and p!aces memories and pictures they're feelings and moments and smiles and laughter

Dates

@jillar That very well could have been, I have had other things happen that made me think that. But that really shook me

Ok I had a good day, now I'm sitting here in tears. Need to vent!!! I watch the show million little things. Had it recorded from last night The show just ended with the song blackbird by the Beatles. Now it is a long story behind this but when husband passed away. When we went to the cemetery it was dark and the reason for that was the service was at the high school that he graduated from it was in the gymnasium that they had named after him. The cemetery was lit with lighting when we got there. Now my husband played guitar and sang. A good friend of ours after the service was done and they were lowering the casket in to the ground she sang blackbird They use to sing that together. It was such a unique service for a very special man. I had not heard that song since then. OMG the memories came flooding back. Probably sounds crazy but doing this was better then smoking. Not the way I planned on ending the day

Weird shit is going to happen and worrying about it isn't going to change that try not to let that freak you out cling to the things that will keep you in the present in this moment turn the music up walk barefoot on the sand look up at the stars dance in the kitchen you have right now and that's all you need

@Doreensfree WOW!! No shame me too.

Ok just got home had a wonderful time,this girl did not take her sunscreen!! Have a nice sunburn,did not forget the important stuff,the wine lol It was great to get out and see friends. Came off the lake a little earlier than we planned wind was picking up and rain was coming.That's ok enough to get a good sunburn. Almost forgot what is was like to see people having fun since covid!!! Back to life!!!

Life is too short grudges are a waste of happiness love when you can apologize when you should and let go of what you can't change love deeply and forgive quickly life is too short to be unhappy

AFFIRMATION FOR ANXIETY This is only temporary I am in control I can take things one step at a time I've made it through before and I'll make it through again Anxiety does not define me
