I'm starting this discussion as a place where we can set our goals daily, help motivate each other to do them and then check in with how we went. It's a place to celebrate when we achieve them or just sit with each other if we didnt and are feeling down about it. Hopefully with encouragement and support from each other we'll tick lots of boxes for our daily goals and feel good about it. Please join in. 😊

Yes I'm a fair bit like you and have t hat sense of loyalty @Former-Member. They say moving house is up there with the biggest stresses and i know you've had some huge stresses but don't underestimate this one too.
I was out of control for a while but I have just started TAFE last week and it's been amazing how having a purpose for now has lifted my mood. My son returns this weekend after spending 13 months overseas so I am busy. He will move back home as he has another couple of years to finish his double degree. He just sheepishly informed me he failed an important subject whilst overseas so will add more time on to him studying :face_with_rolling_eyes:. From this weekend I will have 4 baby dragons (3 of mine and a partner of one) living with me and the dynamics will change a fair bit again.
I hope things on the home front are somewhat peaceful for you at the moment and you and hubby are well.
Sending hugs 💜🤗

Hi @Former-Member
Great to read you started a TAFE course. What are you studying? Having purpose is fundemental to feeling more upbeat. Finding that was a big part of my healing process. Having no purpose = depression without doubt.
Sounds like you will be quite busy - I admire how you still find time to correspond on here.
My daughter has improved somewhat but still has her moments. But some improvement is going in the right direction. Hubby has been very busy with the running of the charity we volunteer for - he really cares about people. His heart tests came back okay - his cancer PSA reading up a bit though, but we are feeling positive. Just might mean he will have to have addition cancer treatment. We will know in six months time. Otherwise all is okay on the home front.
But you are right about moving. On one hand I will have my dream home but on the other there is always the doubts "have I chosen well" - hope it will be as peaceful as it looks (that is high on my agenda), hope it's a good investment (won't lose everything etc). So I am feeling a bit of anxiety over it. And all that entails moving - it is stressful. But if it all goes well it's a great spot being on the water and a walk to everything such as cafes, restaurants, beach, shops, markets, clubs and medical etc. Fingers crossed.
I was so pleased to read that you have landed on your feet well and that life is more fulfilling for you. What are your future goals in terms of the course you are studying? Sounds exciting. Hugs 💕
