Daily goals, motivation and check in

Oh @Faith-and-Hope i would be in pieces if I had much on today. I’ve managed a coffe and meds so I guess that’s better than I might have done i the past.

I hope you day gets better too.

💜🤗

want to write more but dog has decided I’m now his playground :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Hugs @Teej .... 💜

Will be here on and off today .... days like this the forums are an emotional lifeline for me .... they bring me some oxygen when I have run low .....

Just dropping this off for @Faith-and-Hope, @Snowie, @Maggie ......and anyone else reading that would like a bunch 😊

I hope your day gets better. Thought they might help with your self care day @Snowie. Thank you for reminding me. I’ve calmed a little since I posted. Sometimes it’s hard for me to see the forest for the trees. I hope you get lots of cuddles and stay warm and safe @Snowie

@Maggie i know you love roses too so I hope they brighten your day. Thank you for your timely support too.

@Faith-and-Hope As always thank AGAIN 😘. I hope your day goes ok. My thinking brain thinks she knows what day it is today. I hope you enjoy it and it’s a lovely time. It will be lovely for you to catch up with all your family. You’ve got this! 💜

youve all helped enough for me to accept this is just another day.

💜🤗

@Teej@Faith-and-Hope@Snowie dropping these off virtual is better than none at all. Lots of these all round.💕💕💕💜💜💜 The flowers are beautiful.

the flowers are beautiful @Teej

and the coffee looks wonderful @Maggie

hello @Faith-and-Hope, @Snowie, @frog

just got home from the hospital -- I have a Bladder infection

today I have

• one load of washing
• washed the dishes
• had morning tea with mum

Oh dear @Shaz51. Look after you won't you. Gosh I hope that clears up quickly for you, no fun at all.

Sounds like you have a pleasant day going for you even with the yukky of the infection.

Beautiful flowers @Teej, you somehow manage to have a delightful pick me up waiting right there to lift me out of the suction of a downward twisty turny slide. Thank you for you thoughtfulness at posting such beautiful things for us all to share.

Getting motivated was difficult for me today too, in fact I just rolled over and went back to sleep for another hour and a half, and I feel better for it, so I cannot be sorry for it.

It took effort to finally get up, in stages like others have said. Going to the loo is a great motivator though! and once I'm on my feet, I figure I'll just stay upright and do something enjoyable or productive.

@Faith-and-Hope So sorry for your loss. I hope your day goes beautifully, and that there is some comfort in everyone being together.

@frog Thanks for your kind wishes - it was great to write a bit yesterday, hoping to get some more in today too. I might try to set up a schedule to see if I can do an hour or a number of words per day. I have to be careful with the 'have to' types of words and set ups though, so that could be tricky.

I hope you got some rest after your full days this past week, and that your outing was enjoyable too.

@Maggie the coffee looks lovely, I can't drink it, but it still looks and often smells so lovely that I wish I still could enjoy it.

@Snowie wonderful advice and support and good reminders for me today too. I hope your day is being kind to you.

Goals achieved today:
* got up
* checked damage to potplants outside from marauding animals in the night
* made toast, tea and heated pre made quiche for breakfast
* took meds
* answered some emails and some posts here
* swept floors
* put washing up away
* did my daily online game time gated tasks

Goodness gracious, when I list it like that, I haven't done so badly at all.

That's why I really like this thread and the other Highlight of the Day Thread, it makes me be more aware of what I have managed, and encourages me to look for things that are good and pleasant.

Thank you all for your wonderful company.

(sorry for double send - edited to make image readable)

the list of things you did is wonderful @Former-Member , you did more than me

ohhh @Former-Member, my mum gave me a bucket full of orchids and I tied them all to my trees yesterday , hoping they will grow now xx

How utterly delightful @Shaz51! A bucket full of orchids. So so lovely. A gift from your mum, so so lovely.

While I know it's work, I hope you get great enjoyment in the placement of those orchids on your trees and basking in the love of a mother who cares for you, and shows she cares for you.

The joy there will be in seeing those flower too. Wonderful. I think I saw an image of @Former-Member's orchids somewhere, they were so extraordinarily beautiful cascading down the tree the way they were. I imagine some of yours must be/ will be, like that when they bloom.

Thank you for your kind words, I'm sure you would do more than me on many other days!

I just remembered, I was thinking of making some biscuits today using some cashew butter since I can't have peanuts. Not sure if I have the wherewithall to do it... maybe in stages.

have the absolute loveliest day everyone. The thought of orchids flowering has lifted my mood greatly! Thank you for sharing.

will be a surprise when they flower @Former-Member , have to take some photos xx

one day at a time my friend , and the biscuits sounds nice
