Ready to give in

We all have those days as you know. So take today as a me day and do what you need to do for you. Tomorrow will be another day. I do hope something soon comes along for your fiance. I know jobs are scarce but will keep my fingers crossed something good happens out of this.

Dear Mindy,

    I wish I could help you in some way. I am so sorry that things are so hard for you right now. I know you love your fiancé very much and it must pain you greatly to see him so sad. *hugg*

A Motivational Poem
When We Share
Poet: Unknown When we share laughter, there's twice the fun;
When we share success, we surpass what we've done.

When we share problems, there's half the pain;
When we share tears, a rainbow follows rain.

When we share dreams, they become more real;
When we share secrets, it's our hearts we reveal.

If we share a smile, then our love shows;
If we share a hug, then our love grows.

If we share with someone on whom we depend,
That person becomes family or friend.

And what draws us closer and makes us all care,
Is not what we have, but the things that we share.

~ ~ ~

Keep loving others as you always have!
Know you are in our hearts and prayers here!

*warm hugg*

Hi Mindy,

Hugs to you on a tough day! You did a very nice thing, helping your neighbor yesterday. You have several things going on right now that are out of your immediate control. But giving yourself a break is within your control. :) Take a day and read a book, or whatever you like to do to relax and try not to worry for today. Those things will still be there tomorrow, when you have given your body a chance to rest. And your body needs to direct its energy into fighting your cold, not handling all the other things that will still be there a few days from now. I have learned the hard way that the quicker you put the breaks on and let your body use everything it has to fight the illness, the faster you will recover. :) So put your feet up, grab yourself a cup of tea, a warm cozy blanket and a book or that remote control and let your body repair itself. I know it isn't easy to sit back and ignore the things you think you ought to be doing as a mom or a wife, but your body needs you to do just that! Allowing yourself those me days makes you a better wife and mom, not a worse one. We all need to recharge our batteries from time to time, and I think dealing with chronic pain probably increases the speed that those batteries drain. Feel better soon!

MM, yes it was hard for me to learn how to have a "me" day. I don't know how to relax, never have. Some people can be content sitting and watching a tv show, or say listening to music. I never learned that, I felt like I was wasting time sitting there on my behind. To this day I rarely watch tv, again the old its a waste of time creeps in and find myself up doing something in the house. Something always needs cleaning, its way too much house at this point to handle. I generally will go outside and kick around some of my plants and flowers and mess with them, that is my relaxation. I enjoy music and usually will usually turn the stereo on outside and do yard work. I still have a lot of flowers this late and they tending to, so with a cup of coffee in hand I am armed, lol.
