One Step at a Time May-2016

Great job on the Nal, AG. From what I've read, the key is to always take it before you drink.
Have fun!!

Liz I meant to respond to your post the other day when you said you'd been to Auschwitz. I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to actually go there, and especially if your family is from Poland, but I can only think it must have been heartbreaking. Such a terribly sad, tragic time in history. Are you able to talk about it or would you prefer not to? :heartbeat:

I'm going to keep on keeping on!! Nora, thanks so much and thanks to ALL of you for your warmth and compassion. I'm not going to read any other threads today. Just staying here.

That's a very sensible move AG. And as someone very clever once said "just take one step at a time". Wish I could remember who that was!

AG - just to say that the books estimate of the nal working in 3-4 months is VERY optimistic - out of all the folk that I know who have taken it, it has worked like that for 1 ! For the rest of us it has taken anywhere from 8 months to over a year - but you have to have faith and patience - there IS no alternative - hence me just keeping going with it - and you really have to commit to it - you can't take it sometimes or you really mess up the endorphin pathways - the brain will not know if it is coming or going. Feel free to Pm me if you have any questions ..... it really is worth doing - you also need to track your intake for different reasons - you can then see that you are indeed improving - even if it is slow - and I would also suggest posting on the TSM website as well as here - (I am not trying to take you away from here - honest!) There is so much support and advice there from people who are only doing TSM.

Hi to everyone else - hope that you are all having a good holiday weekend!

Hugs, sun

Sunnie - so wonderful to see you.

Just sweet talked a pizza place to delivering. We're outside of that city but we're only 2-1/2 miles away. So, they tried to discourage me with how long it would take but I said that I didn't mind. Now, I don't have to get dressed and go get it. :victorious:

Score Nora!

[NoraC]

It's so funny because the places say that they'll only deliver in that city. But, I live closer to them than the other side of that city. There's another pizza place in the other neighboring city and they won't deliver either. I'm right on the border of both.

Pauly I am so not down, but thanks for your concern. Sorry if I sound that way. Yes glassy auschwitz was a little hard to take. My family is german and had no idea what the nazis where up to. A tough pill to swallow for sure. So grateful to learn about my family's history and most definitely proud. Mom and Dad endured a lot.

So it never did rain today. The humidity was unbelievable. We BBQ and ate inside. No pool, I'm sad to say. So happy that it's finally unofffically summer!

[Lizann]

Glassy, my parents are german and were refugees during the war. They endured a lot, I have no problem sharing what they went through. My son wanted to see what and where his grandparents came from. We learned a lot and saw a lot.

[NoraC]

Red - please check in and let us know what is going on with your tenant. I can't stop thinking about it. What time is he going to be out? Is someone going to be with you???:heartbeat:

[paulywogg]

Sorry Liz,I reread your post and nah you didn't seem down,probably my own mood this morning being projected haha

[NoraC]

Have been lazy today. Had planned on getting so much done but I didn't do it. Was starting to feel guilty but quickly got over that. :rotlf:
I gave mom a manicure last night. Then when she was going to bed, she was in the restroom a long time. When she finally came out, she had peeled all the polish off of one hand. I said Mom, I just painted them today. Then I felt really bad because of course she doesn't know that. She said she was sorry and I just laughed and said that I knew I had done a bad job. So, we laughed about it and I used polish remover to do her other hand. We were sitting here a couple hours ago and she held up her hands. Were these supposed to be polished? So, I said sure and I did them again. :allgood: I went back to her normal pink so this should last longer.

That must have been quite a powerful experience Liz, especially for your son. It's wonderful that he wanted to see that and obviously has such respect for his history.
