I had a good day


 

After the last couple of days where I was sick with worry about my son, I decided to be nice to myself today. I went to a Caribbean Carnival with a friend and later enjoyed some ice cream. I am so grateful for today!

Trying very hard to take it one day at a time.

Hi Rose

So happy you got out of the house and had a good time for you. I know it's hard sometimes but it's better than sitting home with worry and fear. I didn't get out, vacuumed the house and did the laundry. Made some homemade soup...eating it now. I think it's better good I must say he he . I have been chatting with a friend here and she has helped me so so much keeping me sane and learning new things in the process. It has made me happy to know I'm never alone.

Keep it in the moment and don't project. It's the worst...I know I do it still.

Have a nice relaxing evening and eat some more ice cream...I will

(((( hugs ))))

Thanks, Cathy.

I can't promise I won't project. I think of all the worst case scenarios and that really makes me crazy with fear. But it's "progress not perfection". I think we are doing fine.

I so wish I will find a job very soon to keep me busy and my mind from going to those scary places.

((hugs)))

Good to hear you did something for yourself today!

As Cathy said, Keep in the moment and try not to project (still a Big One for me) But I aim for progress, not perfection smile

Glad you had a good day, Rose.  Sometimes a little healthy distraction and a good friend to share with can make all the difference.  You deserve many, many good days!  TT

Good for you and no promises ever are needed...I can slide into perfectionistic behavior when I do that!
