Sounds like you dont have time to be sad or depressed
Kudos for all you are going out and doing ..........I am very impressed.....
Luvs and more happy "Good" coming your way......LYN

Thankyou Lynn,

This positive drive does seem to be doing me the world of good. It's hard, it's hard too turn your way of thinking around, and the negitivety and wanting too hide and curl up in a ball keeps coming back, but not as often, and not for as long. I could never have done this for myself though. It's down too a very good social worker and physios that have just kept on at me, and given me the consistant outlet I have needed. Though, I think I have turned around enough too keep on with everything myself, which is the impressive bit, the bit which still sends me all happy and tingly, because it's the thing I thought I'd never be able to do. Before October last year, one little set-back could have made me drop everything. But, I seem to just be brushing everything negative off, and consentrating on the good stuff.

However, next week my social worker is leaving, which feels like the ultimate of tests. Also my mentor training will be up soon, and then I'll be back in the working pond (admitadly voluntary, so hopefully nowhere near as scarey.) I'm king of scared about having power over people, being able too manipulate there lives-even it's for the better. I'm just praying I don't get it wrong.

But, I'm prepared-I cope much better if I've had time too prepare, I've done extra homework, and double the amount of work of eeryone else (being the natural swot that I am and being miles ahead of everyone in the class). And at least I get too go shopping, to find pressies for my social worker, it'll make me happy knowing I can give her something back in return for all she has done for me (she isn't leaving without cake, I assure you tongue )

Posts some happy vibes and some hugs and random bananas out too everyone

Ok, a trip down memory lane...........the good stuff I have had in my life

....there is nothing better than one of those laughs a baby gives that i would call a belly laugh-- I remember the first time my kids did that (way back when) it was a great feeling smurf

I feel all sunshiny when my 4 year old granddaughter  holds my hand when iI am with her in a restaurant or the mall.

My youngest son was homecoming king at NDSU and he acknowledge his Mom in the audience in his speech.................good stuff.  cool

The really good stuff is when the weatherman gets the forecast right:

"Tonight's forecast: Dark. Continued dark throughout most of the evening, with some widely-scattered light towards morning."

Hugs to all

I had a wonderful day today.

Got to visit a friend and have coffee this morning. She adopted her twin five year old granddaughters. They are a trip, I just love watching them. My hb was cutting up some firewood for her and there was a spider. Well these girls love bugs and wanted to get their tweezers and put this big hairy spider in a bug box. Yikes....... It was big.

A couple that we knew stopped over this evening and we visited for a while.

It was a pretty full day for me.

Hopeing to go strawberry picking on Saturday. I haven't picked in years, hope that I can still do it. My hb makes homemade freezer jam. Berry good on icecream.LOL

I hope that you all have a wonderful day.

Luv and hugs Karen...

I started dying my hair about that age.........Properly fully dying it too. It was a shame, as it was gorgeous raven black almost. After years of plastering on bleach and red, it's lightend now. Now I have to actually dye my hair black! I also have bright pink in my hair though........I hate having normal coloured hair tongue   

You are right though, that dye can ruin hair, you can become allergic too it aswell, and I believe it's worse if you start at a younger age. However the wash in wash out stuff is a lot gentler and safer. Like with tattoo's and piercings though I'm addicted too colouring my hair smurf .

Happy 4th of July USA

Hair R Us

The good stuff you bought in the box at the drugstore.  Four of us got together and we all went home blondes that night..........thought my folks would have a bird.

My Dad said, "Wash it out", I headed off to school.  Wash it out lol.

Pink, I love the pink streaks Gems.  They are so cool.  Pink makes a statement.

Sheryl, 9 year old huh,  I am giggling as I am trying to talk my daughter into letting my 14 year old granddaughter into having a few highlights...........just a few.

Cait with brown hair,  sad Tell her blonds have more fun.......heee heee.

 

Well it is good stuff and memories of fun or Walgren's would not sell the stuff.

I'm feeling better today and went out in my garden to water and weed.  It really looks spectacular this year.  My flower beds are so nice and all my perennials are blooming.  It's amazing how the time passes when you are out in nature and just enjoying the breeze.Got to see fireworks last night from my bathroom window! The weekend seems to be going fast and soon my house will be back to normal.  That makes me happy.

Posted 7/5/2008 10:47 PM (GMT 0)

Aurora,

That is wonderful news and your right, only one more day and we can put another long holiday weekend to rest with memories of how well we coped. 

I would love a flower bed but alas my thumb is not green. I gorw a mean hosta though.  devil

Good Stuf is in store for you tomorrow.

The good stuff . . .

I was able to pick strawberries today. I wasn't sure if I could do it with my fibromyalgia, but I made it. Yes!

Aurora,
My perennials are doing good this year too. We put in a really small garden this year. Mostly tomato plants. We have cucumbers starting in the greenhouse. And I have a few flowers that I started from seed and that I bought. There is something so relaxing about the garden.

I hope everybody had a good day today.

Hugs Karen

The Good Stuff...............

I am working hard at staying in the moment and I have to admit that learning that technique from my therapist was good stuff. 

I have exercised 5 days in a row and am adding a little more time each day.  My goal is 45 mins, 5 times per week.  I am up to 28 minutes.

May your day be full of good stuff :-)

I have one,

Tomorrow we are going to have a bbq with the kids and grandkids. I get to see my beautiful granddaughter tomorrow. And all of the others. She is the only girl. So............ I have to spoil her. I want to get her a cabbage patch doll...

Hugs, Karen
Posted 7/30/2008 1:19 AM (GMT 0)

I didn't know they still made Cabbage Patch Dolls.  I'll have to look for some for my granddaughters.

The good stuff - I made it to water aerobics this afternoon!  I may not be able to completely control the asthma or the seizures, but I am going to get ahead of this fibro crap!

Hugs to all of you!

Carla

Posted 7/30/2008 1:42 AM (GMT 0)
Good for you Carla,

I have fibro too. It can take you for a bumpy ride if you let it.

I saw the cabbage patch dolls at Easter time in the store, hope that they still have them. I just got to get her one, I think that she will like it.

Have a great evening,
hugs, Karen...

Great threat Kitt!  (I shall do as you say oh wise one!)

My good stuff...

1) Did 20 minutes of Yoga this morning, which made me feel centered, balanced and productive.

2) Bought a new coffee pot, which I'm really excited about.  I can program it the night before and have coffee ready when the alarm goes off.  An added reason to get out of bed in the morning!

3) Had amazing leftovers from the great restaurant that my boyfriend took me to on my birthday.

4) Am making plans to go hiking, camping, kayaking this weekend.  Yippee!  Now, all I have to do is find a place that isn't full! 

5) Went to the doctor's to get a prescription for a nasty infection, which is already clearing up!

6) Received a really great compliment from my boss today about something I'd written.  Even the folks in PR agreed - no changes were needed before it went to press! :)

I like thinking happy thoughts!  Sending sweet vibes across the ether!  :)
