I have to get over the idea that my life has changed dramatically and will likely never be the same; I need to get over my past self- and all I can think of is how lucky I am to be alive and to have all major functions.

I have to get over the idea that my life has changed dramatically and will likely never be the same; I need to get over my past self- and all I can think of is how lucky I am to be alive and to have all major functions. I will have to get passed the trauma of trusting other people as a driver. I will also face issues with having to take blood thinners- and any future surgeries I will need. I have to face the fear of having a second stroke everyday. Read More2 Reply Mary Pat3 months agoMary PatThat I may get Omicron. It is a possibility that no matter how careful I have been, it might happen. And then, what do I do after that? So facing that fear is real, but working through that fear with a plan is just as important. 2 Reply Ose3 months agoOseI don´t know. 2 Reply Zane Stebletsov3 months agoZane StebletsovMy rapid decline in productivity and consumption of knowledge. 4 Reply Malag3 months agoMalagAvoidance. It can be a very sensible strategy or a slowly boiling pot of explosive dung with a fully operating fan nearby. 4 Reply Blossom2 months agoBlossomoh that is so funny 1 Reply ALICIA3 months agoALICIAMalay, you made me laugh with the truthful metaphor. 0 Reply Michele3 months agoMichelethis made me LOL! hilarious visual 2 Reply Chung van Gog3 months agoChung van GogMy lack of discipline. 3 Reply Blossom3 months agoBlossomToday it is to face my limitations with grace. I became weak during my daily walk and fell, if it were not for my core and upper body strength, I would have had serious injury. As it is, I will be gentle with myself and others and take time to rest. Although strained and bruised, my heart is still smiling. 4 Reply MEG3 months agoMEGTo face the uncertainty with hope and trust in the process of life. To have faith in the unknown. 3 Reply J K3 months agoJ KI think I need to face my true self. We all are hidden in our masks that makes people desirable and likable. But are we really what we show?? We need to face what our own strength is, what our weakness is!! We should not hide ourselves from our own self. Face what you are! But don’t stop being a better person with each day. 7 Reply Michele3 months agoMicheleloved your reflection:) 1 Reply MEG3 months agoMEGGood points JK. Thank you ! You might also find this quote interesting, from Carl Jung: “Persona, the mask or image we present to the world. Designed to make a particular impression on others, while concealing our true nature.” – Carl Jung 2 Reply J K3 months agoJ KThank You MEG!! The quote is quite related to what I feel. Thanks for sharing. 3 Reply Hot Sauce3 months agoHot SauceRight now, I need to face my fear of uncertainty, recognizing that it is a part of life and that it is okay to hold convictions and still be uncertain about them. 4 Reply Don Jones3 months agoDon JonesHmmmm, face-to-no-face, which is an openness and presence with no-thing in between. So, the “I” gets dropped in favor of you. I can take a break. 3 Reply KC3 months agoKCThe day … starting with this moment 🙂 4 Reply Hilary3 months agoHilaryTaking all steps necessary to get Shay and Sky correctly evaluated and in a nurturing atmosphere 2 Reply Elaine3 months agoElaineAttending to end of life matters. It’s just the responsible thing to do. On a lighter note – try to figure out today’s Wordle which has me stumped! 5 Reply MemoPC3 months agoMemoPCElaine I have been enjoying wordle also. Fun little distraction and everyday needs a bit of that. Some are a bit tricky💕 3 Reply Mica3 months agoMicaI have a day with nothing on my calendar, which means I can deal with an annoying somewhat urgent problem involving computers and softwares. Wish me luck!

The work is done – at least for now. Hooray! 2 Reply devy3 months agodevyTo me facing something often brings to mind confrontation, either to others or myself. I look at what’s going in the world and see too much negative means of facing issues. What I try to do is look at problems either within myself or around us, try to look at others perpective on issues and because I can only control my actions, release let go of anger or anxiety and focus on me. No one or nothing can make someone feel a certain way. We have control on how we react.

Maybe I’m not at the intersection quite yet but eventually I imagine that cost will exceed its value. 7 Reply ALICIA3 months agoALICIAOh, my soul, Javier!!!

I have a couple of personal business items that need my attention. Yet, I make the process more difficult by putting them off. I don’t understand why I do this because I know I’ll feel better when I get things wrapped up. Why do I fight instead of cheering myself on to do things that I know are in my self-interest? 5 Reply Michele3 months agoMicheleMay I suggest a book, I had to read it for work and it made a lot of sense. Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy. 1 Reply Barb C3 months agoBarb COh, this is me. So many things need attention it's easy to push certain ones down the list again and again.

So many things need attention it’s easy to push certain ones down the list again and again. Sharing in case this might work for you–heading into the weekend i make a list that isn’t a to-do list. It’s labeled “Possibilities” and includes both chores and leisure items. Seeing all the things I might do somehow inspires me to check things off–and not just the fun ones. I started doing this a few months back and weekends I do this are far more productive and enjoyable without leaving me feeling tired at the end. It charges my batteries more than a weekend that I “wander into” with no list, even though I like being unscheduled and could happily spend the whole day reading on the sofa.

I also need to face the fact that, at age 49, I have a zit on my nose! It wasn’t there yesterday!! [insert laughing face] 3 Reply Mica3 months agoMicaAh, sunnypatti, a former minister said, about her aging husband, that one reaches the age of having ‘zits and wrinkles’ – maybe you’re moving toward that?! Warm wishes to you – 3 Reply sunnypatti3 months agosunnypattiThe wrinkles I can handle, but not so sure about the zits. hahaha! I am a bit hormonal, though! 3 Reply Barb C3 months agoBarb CI thought I’d get a break between skin breaking out and wrinkles. No such luck–they overlap. This is Not Fair. 5 Reply sunnypatti3 months agosunnypattiNever had a problem when I was younger, but it seems to be catching up to me! 3 Reply 1 2 Next » My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
