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. 😊

Hi again everyone,
Well it's been an up and down afternoon. Prepare yourself for a slightly gross story. After my last post I got myself out onto the beach for the walk. Got a bit over halfway down the beach and a toilet emergency started with no toilets around (thanks, Crohns Disease). It was further to walk home than to keep going to my friend's place. So I continued on and rang her at the end of the beach and she said, yes, come over. But from when the minor emergency began, the rest of the walk was quite an ordeal, just trying to hold on until I got to my friend's place while fighting off horrible scenarios of what would happen if I couldn't make it that far. Luckily it all worked out okay! But to add insult, I put my knee out when walking. You gotta laugh. 
Home now. And I get to tick another item off today's list by going for the walk. Cool. Quite a few things haven't managed yet but I'm okay with that. 🙂

Well done @Mazarita .... ❣
I had hoped to get out for a walk today, but have ended up dozing off for an hour or so .... and now I am feeling too tired .....
Have decided the nap for a walk was a good exchange .... think I've got a backwash of fatigue happening with WH away .... and actually had an in-depth convo with a SIL yesterday about what is happening with us behind the scenes .... that that has probably contributed. She agrees that everyone has been amazed and in awe of WH's "achievement" re his health, but now she and her hubby are picking up indicators that he is not well and have become as worried about him as the other bro I have been in communication with.
It sort of feels like this, and other things that are happening, are goals that I haven't laid out, are appearing naturally. It has taken a load off just to be able to talk to her about it, but until their awareness came into it, it would just have come across to them as sour grapes on my part.
Starting to feel not quite so alone irl ....
Hi @Appleblossom .... 🤗💕

That is a huge relief .. I am sure .. guess part of it is just that you are up close .. and they only saw part of the picture.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, sometimes a sleep is more important than a walk. Glad to hear you have found some listening ears in the really real to let you speak about the situation with your husband. I understand how sour grapes could be read into things without others noticing some troubling details for themselves. It's a difficult family dynamic and you do amazingly well to keep afloat of so much.
Hi @Appleblossom, how lovely to hear beautiful music from your son. I tend to be drawn to nocturnes (odd about that - not - given that the name of course means night).
I've now made myself a cheese, ham and pesto toastie for dinner, another tick for not forgetting to eat. This day spent on and off this thread has been so helpful. Thanks all! 🙂
