A couple bright spots in a dark time: I got a job interview for later this week, and I was able to finish reading an interesting book although I've been finding it difficult to concentrate.
Good things, if you read my Venting post, you will know not much good has happened so here goes, as small as it may be, I got up and went to work today, yay. Still would rather be snuggled up under my blankies at home, but hey, at least I am out of the house, not getting dirty and actually accomplishing something positive.
Hey guys, I know most of you out there have one good thing that they can share with us, let's make this list grow so everyone can have something positive to read to help them cheer up.
This week's challenge will be to see if we can get at least 10 posts from anyone who feels like posting something good again, doesn't have to be "WOW" or even "EHH" whatever you feel may be good is good enough.
Wildcat I love chocolate and heard that chocolate is good for women over 40 (I qualify). Now they did specify a certain kind of chocolate, but hey, who's listening to that part. I'll buy 2. One for now, one for later. Then maybe again tomorrow.
I am sorry to hear about your tiamat's throat infection. My son had Tourette's syndrome when he was younger. He still does but we don't discuss it. I guess he handles it by denying it and if it works for him, it works for me. He is an attorney and it doesn't interfere with his work. He used to be much worse than he is right now! He was initially diagnosed severe, last dr. visit +12 years ago, diagnosed mild. I hope that things work out for you both.
re: another post - I hope you got to spend time with hubby!
Glad to hear you are taking care of yourself and putting "you" first! It must have taken alot of courage to stand up and speak your mind, but you did it and are in happy place right now . Hopefully, your partner will stand by your side and see that your happiness is foremost important in maintaining a healthy relationship.
I have decided to take some time for myself to read and not feel guilty about it. I have bought myself some new glasses so that I can read again. My first new pair in 6 years and I am so happy to be able to read again. I just love to read. I have been reading Helen Keller's auto autobiography and am enjoying it immensely. I went to my first library book sale and had a great time doing it. I decided not to leave home to travel right now to look for a new home / larger property for my finensee's hobby. I am not sure I really ever want to get married again. I told him how I felt and that I didn't feel like getting involved in a move or real estate right now that I was happy enough where I am living and that I wanted to do some things that I enjoy like reading and gardening and wanted to relax get well and enjoy my life for a while before I get involved in anything as major as a move for a while. So I guess I will be here at home for a little while thank god. I am feeling really good about having the courage to speak my mind and take care of my needs for once. I have told him that he may have to move on without me if he is really not happy here. He has agreed to let me rest and read and get well for the time being. I know this is long winded but I feel really good about not letting the anxiety get to me and not doing things I really don't want to do. I think I may be finding myself again.
. Hopefully, your partner will stand by your side and see that your happiness is foremost important in maintaining a healthy relationship.
