My husband's 70th birthday went well but because I have high expectations I was a little let down. It was "his'" party & I almost made it about me. I am so sorry that I can't just enjoy myself w/o making something out of nothing.
So, today is his actual birthday. I am so glad his health has improved a lot since the last time he went out nearly 6 years ago. My health is OK too, despite the latest news. I am hanging in there staying as positive as I can. I am grateful that the doctors can help me find solutions to my issues.
I will keep plugging away. I am not going to let anxiety & depression get me down.
Yep, one day at a time. A positive mindset is the best cure I know. You have self awareness and that is a gift! Hang in there, and I'll be sending good vibes your way.
