One Step at a Time - June 2018

[NoraC]

Happy June

I will be back with a picture later. For right now just remember it's not a race....
It's just one step at a time

Edit to add this picture. I love this - we can handle everything one breath, one step and one day at a time........

Hi all,
Thanks for starting us off Nora. I forgot it was June. Got some stuff sold today. Hot as hell out...sorry about your Mom.......Aww Pauly. I am not doing that great myself lately. So much stuff happening all at once. I only know to keep trying and believe in myself...

I know that you both can do it. I KNOW you can. But, you've got to do it. No one can do it for you. But, I will certainly be here with love & support. :hug: You are both very special people. Don't give up. Start now. :heartbeat:

Hey Pauly - I don't think there is a "taper" way for us... it's hard, but stop and keep stopping! Do you have your hypnosis tapes... maybe they will,help? You have beat this before, and you will again... Believing in you!

Thanks Nora.
I'm spending the weekend in hospital. I've had a bad attack of diverticulitis and been in a lot of pain. At least I'm having an enforced rest! :thumbsup:

Bird and Pauly I need to join you too. My moderation is gradually creeping up again.

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2018

Hi all,
Glassie, I have diverticulitus as well..sorry you are in hospital.....Nora, thank you for that post. I was doing ok, but when there is a lot happening I have a hard time....sold a refrigerator last night. Couldn't get it out the door, we had to take the door off. Wonder how he got it in there, or any of his appliances. None of them fit through the door. .....I see that a drum corps tour is coming to a neighboring city. I love drum corps, so we will be going to that. DD2 was in drum corps one summer. Very tough stuff to play and I was so proud of her. ....well, off to sort tools and sell freezers.......have a great day all....b

WOW!!! Some powerful and inspirational posts this morning....which is one of MANY reasons where I have found a very happy home on this thread.:heartbeat:
[MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION] and [MENTION=21602]abcowboy[/MENTION]....thank you for posting quotes and pictures that offer hope in this new month. I so appreciate both of you!

Nora-I am sorry your mom had another episode. That is so hard! I think of you often when I visit my mom because she is declining as well. I am glad we can support each other through all of this. KISS, HUG! Thank you for being our unselfish and courageous thread leader!

Glassie-you poor thing:sad:You just rest this weekend, sweetheart! How well I know your pain. :-( I've had IBS all my life and was diagnosed with diverticulitis about 5 years ago. Sometimes the attacks are so bad I feel like I'm going to faint.

Pauly-I know you can do this...you have done it before. I worry that you might lose customers or your job because of AL. Please think about it before you decide to pick up that glass/mug. I called off work several times when my drinking was its worst. It made me feel even lower. Like you say, just push through today. I am sorry hubs is upset. That is NO FUN. :-(
[MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]-I am sorry you are struggling and please don't give up on yourself. You have gone through SO much lately. Sorry to hear your daughter didn't pass her driving test. :-(
[MENTION=12303]treegirl[/MENTION]...thank you for popping in with your positive light. I know the last time we communicated, you were working on a book, I believe. Did it get published? Sending positive thoughts to you today.

Off to get my hair cut and colored and then to visit my mom.

I hope we all have a happy and productive AF Saturday!

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2018

Oh Pauly:hug: Good for you for going to work. That must have been so hard to be on your feet while you're feeling so lousy, but I'm proud of you for "keeping your head up and powering thru, just like you say in your signature line. ;-). You NEVER make it all about you, so don't worry about that! We all have posts and days where we think we're only making it about ourselves but that's the beauty of true friendship....we've all been there, right????

Glassie-how are you feeling??

[Rusty]

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2018

Nora-how is your Mom today? When is the shower? Is it next weekend?

Got my hair cut and colored and now it's time for paperwork before I work out and then jump in the pool. We went from 97 degrees and sunny to 63 degrees and cloudy. Pffft!
