Isak Dinesen said salt water cures everything, whether it is tears, sweat or the ocean! She was right...I'm sitting right beside you on the beach, Sue, doing nothing but healing and resting!

I'm glad you are feeling like you can plan ahead a bit...that is good.

Fred...I do the same thing with drivers and they irritate me as well!!

I hope you get the OT you need approved!

Keep blogging, my friend!

Quite likely...I think psychologists would argue that when we dream about ourselves it is based on the way we view ourselves. At one point when my brother was living in Italy, he was so immersed in the culture he dreamed in Italian.

How does that make you feel???

Nothing like taking joy in the little things in life!! :wub2: Good luck getting the well contractor!!

BTW...thanks for your email...I'll email you back! :hug:

Have a WONDERFUL trip...!!! Congrats, Auntie!!!

Thanks gang...I really appreciate the support! I never would've made it through the last two months without all of you! :wub2:

YIPPEE! :Clap-Hands: I'm so glad. Pets in pain is so sad..

I LOVE splitting wood...its a great upper body workout too!!

Honolulu is nice and a cruise would've been perfect!

Asha...an Alaska cruise is fabulous as well!

Did I mention I LOVE traveling!!!

That's great...you did a wonderful job adapting the poem!!!

Yay :pepper: ...where in Hawaii did you go?!!

I like how our blogs link together as well. It is nice that we all support and feed off of each other's energy.

Enjoy your time away! I love my children beyond measure but I also enjoy having moments to reconnect with ME...ROBYN...not mom, or sister, or daughter, or partner, or lover, or professor...just ROBYN. It gives me energy to go back to those other roles

How are you doing today? Just take it one moment and one day at a time!!!

:hug:

Heather...I PMed you back but I think that Asha has it right!!! I also read a lot of spiritual books which do help me!

good for you!!! keep us posted, heather! Try to remind yourself to take deep slow breaths when you feel anxious...it can help.

It's OK to ask for help Pat...a colonoscopy isn't fun, stroke or no stroke! You will get through this...you are strong!

:hug:

In reading some posts I'm wondering if you can't be helped by an anti-depressant or ativan to keep anxiety down. You might also want to try working with someone to help you meditate to keep your anxiety levels down. :hug: I'm sorry you are feeling this way!

I love camping...it sounds like you had fun. Where did you go???

Cranberry Juice!!!

Congrats :Clap-Hands:

:hug: I'm sorry to hear this news...be there for her as she is there for you!!! You have a great love between friends which is precious!

I can totally EMOTE re: the "STILL MARRIED" I've been legally separated for 3 years but can't get my ex to move his posterior to get any paperwork done and I really can't afford to make my attorney richer right now...UGH... I would've had this done over a year ago but unfortunately I had to make child custody changes and didn't want to get divorced until that was actually done...still not done...he's a PUTZER...putz putz putz over everything!!! GRRRR!! :Tantrum:

VERY...he's still there and still loving you! That's a good thing!!!

:mwah: It is a lesson I'm trying to internalize now...change my perspective and think more about what I can learn about myself rather than what I lost!!!

You're gonna do great!!! Keep us posted on the date so I can send you positive vibes!!! :Clap-Hands:
