Happiness

I just need to share this: for the first time in so very long, today I actually feel happy. Nothing particularly exciting happened - in fact something unpleasant occurred. It hasn't taken my pleasure away. I had a picnic lunch with another mother and our children. We sat in the sun, on some grass near a playground.
We initially sat somewhere else, and were moved on for being inadvertently on "private" land, but it didn't upset me. It was a simple, enjoyable time. And I feel happy. I think I'd forgotten how that feels.
I feel light. This is wonderful. Wow!

Re: Happiness

@Former-Member @eudemonism @outlander @Shaz51

I now realizse that this Virus, plus Chronic Sinusitus & caused a terrible inner ear infection. Being that it is Sunday, no Doctors open, plus no Chemist open, & I have no transport, nor any help? hmmm!

I will have to wait until tomorrow, to get what I need. I read on the internet about my symptoms, & what it is, it makes sense now, as yersterday was so bad for me, I thought at times I was going to, expire. (sorry, I can use the correct term?) Hahhar expire!!

I am using all my knowledge to, keep calm, keep cool, filled up with anti oxidents, & water, & trying not to let, people, & things get me upset, at the moment. ( not easy) I know why I have had so many, nite mares & horrible symptoms, since this- Sinusitis/Virus started, 3 months ago????

I was thinking maybe that the metal in my Spine from the Magor Sugery had moved, & was putting pressure on my Spinal cord again? 😞 so scarey Nell? that problem & operation, last year this time was horrific! & has left me a tad PTSD, until I can see it as a thing of the past?) 😞

I forgot about inner ear infections, I have too much stress around me, sickness, plus peoples lack of compassion, or sincere help, or interest in me, in my immediate & personal life. Even my GP didn't notice, or care much when I visited him 3 times? not sure why? I don't think I come across as too sick most times,I don't complain much, so I get overlooked/fobbed off! Hmmm?

Anyway, at this moment, I have calmed down, sitting on my bed with the Fan on, sipping water, typing to you. I will take some more meds for pain when its time & try not to worry?

How are you Nell, are your Meds starting to work yet?

Are you ok sorta, to day Nell?

Have you had some sleep?

Are you eating & drinking properly?

Are your family helping you?

Do they understand nell?

I don't mean to put you, on the Hot Seat,Nell, never, not! xo 🙂

I CARE!!!!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Love & Hugs

Bella.

XO <>< 🙂

@Former-Member 💜

What a lovey and well written message which tells such a charming story. A blessed life? I like hearing about stuff like this. Cause it gives children the best shot at life. Don't always work out perfectly though.

I get quite tired and lethargic. And don't feel like doing very much. Not that i feel like doing it at the best of times. It's kind of pressure related. Pressure from society. Just do what i need too.

So i keep it quiet. Low key. Do very little. Just the basics. Plenty of rest. And just seek out the simple stuff in life. I spend the majority of my time at home and alone. And rarely leave the house.

It'sgood to have stuff to do and people to see when I want. But in all honesty. I don't really feel like doing anything or seeing anybody for the majority of the time. To difficult. To technical. Too much energy, effort, time and resources required. Is very stressful also. And don't end up being worth it. Medication restricts me. And my condition don't work well with it. And it creates more problems then it's worth basically. Not ideal. But at least I'm not dreaming.

Re: Happiness

@Former-Member why does your avatar have a cross through it? I did get acknowledgement as a nurse, mostly from my patients, some were so, so special they remain in my heart even today. I've won some service awards. I always did more than I was supposed to, so this often went unnoticed.

You have an amazing soul @Former-Member. It is a gift indeed bestowed upon a beautiful person

#Bella 😧

Thanks for the link. I will look through it. When get the chance. Have to conserve my data allowance though. Have only 6gb a month. Need too ration. Would like unlimited plan. But cannot afford.

Do you have a church community you can rely on for Christian fellowship? I like church 🎭

And your living arrangements? Is there someone living with you or people close bye? 👤👥

Re pain. this is so unfortunately and must be very hard to go through. Injuries are a big problem for me also. Faith has greatly helped ease the burden of them though. Sadly they still deeply effect me.

My life is based around promoting. Peace, comfort, love and joy for myself. And it is getting better all the time. I love family time. Friendship time. Food. Sleep. Resting time. Alone time. Animal time. Outdoor adventure time. Drives. And being a responsible person. The most joyful thing in my life is playing with my verbal and written words. As i find they are my best friend. And everything i need 😊

Self talk is so important to me. Will leave you be now. And go and make sure @Former-Member is well and ok. And is having a peacefulSunday. 😊

Eude.
