@evistre sounds a bit like my ADD brain when I am in anxiety mode. Hang in there and hope you find your way to a little more inner brain peace
@KittsMotto At Target the other day I found these awesome micro fiber slipper socks that have the little rubber bits on the bottom so they don't slip and they're super cozy and soft too. Those would be perfect for your wood floors
@ellesu You're so right my dear. Strength of mind, of purpose, and of love in our hearts will get us through. Wishing you lots of future strength ahead
@KittsMotto Wow, that's a neat idea, I love it
@MotherDucker I so appreciate your feedback. I went back and forth on whether to post at all. I'm glad it may have helped a teeny bit. Lotsa love to you
Y'all, I almost gave in and did a post about something the new admin is doing I don't like. I sat here with it all written out and a warning and everything.
OMG it was so hard to delete, but now that it's behind me, I'm so glad I did. I'm sticking to my engage locally plan for the sake of my health. And now my heart rate is lower & calm reigns.
I hope everyone finds their own best ways through the next few years and we come out the other side.
Love y'all
@CherNohio Lotsa love Cher, I am with you on this. Sweet dreams
Today's Happy Thoughts
You are an awesome person and I love you
Sight unseen, faults and strengths both, I love you
For being here and continuing to care and be kind, you give me hope for humanity, and I love you
@Minholkin I'm going to try to harness some of your excitement. I have a vision for a rearranging of multiple rooms in my house, which will also result in clearing out of junk and things we don't need. My ADD brain just wants to skip the doing part though and it's been distracting me with anything else to keep me from getting started
It's amazing how ADD works, I have the most amazing willpower in some cases and utterly none in others. Maddening yet hilarious at the same time sometimes
Today's happiness:
Killing it at work, laid the groundwork 5 months ago and now I have a full program launch scheduled for next quarter. Super exciting stuff!
My moms are proud of me, which is so lovely to hear both say in one day.
My bio mom is healing from her stuff and MIL is about to have surgery to take care of her thing. Hoping both are well by the holidays π€
@LnzyHou how delightful π
@TheLegend_AZ It's utterly maddening, isn't it
Ok y'all my social media limit is about up, laying down my happy truths before I log off:
I am grateful a person I care deeply about went to the doc today and the prognosis was unexpected and treatable
I'm grateful to have a spouse who is a great partner in life and parenting even when spouse doubts themselves
Today's weather was utterly gloriously the perfect temperatures in the day and cozy enough but not too chilly tonight, what luck to get to go driving around in it π
Love y'all always

I suspect many of us would offer comfort and soothe hurts if we could.
Given that so many sources of pain are beyond the touch of another,
I hope it helps to know that folks see the hurt, care, and respect the challenges you or others might be carrying.

@mikeharmanos Lyrics from my fave Indigo Girls song Let it Be Me are hugely apropos right now
"well the world seems spent
and the president
has no good idea
of who the masses are
well i'm one of them
and i'm among friends
we're trying to see beyond
the fences in our own backyards
i've seen the kingdoms blow
like ashes in the winds of change
but the power of truth
is the fuel for the flame
so the darker the ages get
there's a stronger beacon yet"
@Minholkin I am completely in this same space Min. Sending you lotsa love. Also, I literally kept my Pro on in my absence just so I could help make sure when I was ready to come back that hopefully you'd still be here. Big hugs!
