Morning Family. Hope we are all happy and healthy.

so often we focus on our own misery and illness that we can forget to help people in our lives-

Todays question:

"What can I do to help someone else today?"

 

its only simple, but today i will help my dad (who has a back injury) change the tyres on his car as it is due for inspection. I will pull my weight with household chores, as i often get lazy. thats it for me right now...

Great question Maz.

I can study up on Children with asthma so I am more current in the latest meds and treatments.

Diabetes too is one I need to do a refresher.

For me, I can give myself a HUG.

Thanks

That kinda thing is easy to do when you live with anxiety bc it seems like with health anxiety, everything else takes a back seat. Thats including relationships.

Nikki, its so true, i think with ANY form of anxiety, everything else in life takes a backseat, and i know i have let it affect relationships without even realising the damage i was doing-

love you bunches,

I do volunteer work for my daughter's school. I'm the secretary for the school's PTA. We do fundraisers, etc. Plus I try to help anyone I see that needs it on a daily basis. I know I could do more. I'll think about that.

I've been doing alot of cooking, baking, etc. for my in-laws.  My father in law has cancer and is going through chemo, and since I can't always physically be there to help, the least I can do is cook for them.  He's a chocolate chip cookie fanatic, so I've been making several dozen of those a week.  He's also on a jello kick, so I'm making that for him too.  It feels good to help out in such a helpless feeling time.

I will get my neighbor the information he needs to contact Legal Aid. It's not much, but reminds me that as bad as things are, at least I still have access to the internet. smilewinkgrin

I always help family, friends and neighbors when needed if it is within my ability. . . volunteer work when asked usually. . . Today though I am going to give my grandmother a spa treatment with a manicure, pedicure, hair trim, tweezed, mask, whirlpool foot massager. . . lol :) She will be feeling good today because she was aching so much yesterday from her arthritis that we did extra light PT for a longer time than usual.

Hi All

I have a bad cold at the moment so no skiing today.

I will be doing some research today to find out information so i can help my Dad who is not well.

Sorry to hear that Ben. I hope you and your father get to feeling better!

I am getting things together this week to donate to a charitable organization to help people out who are in need. Tonight I am going to wash a big load of clothing to donate. Tough times abound and those organizations are helping lots of people in this area.

Well my coworkers have been so kind to pick up the slack while I have been out and sick, I will try to help them out anywhere I can.

Nanners,

You are a winner no matter what you do.  I cannot imagine your co workers not loving you.
