Moving forward

Moving forward

As Monday looms I have been trying to work out how to move forward. Today I started collecting things for my coping box (thanks @Crazy_Bug_Lady). I bought some of my fave chocolates to put in and have been gathering bits and pieces. Happy for any other suggestions as to what to put in. I think I may need one for the car too. I'm thinking I may copy some pieces of wisdom from this forum and print them up to add in.

I'm hoping that I get to write more on this thread than the struggle thread as time goes by. Please feel free to add how you are moving forward as well. 💜😊

Re: Moving forward

@Decadian. I don't worry about my birthday. One year older doesn't really mean much to me - except having to remember my age - lol.
I just think it was one of those days. That's all.
Didn't sleep til after 7 this morning. And awake by 9.30. I guess it will take a while for my body to try and regulate sleep now I'm reducing my sleeping tablets - under consult with my psychiatrist. They are not good for my memory. I'm more forgetful now that at my lowest point. Hoping that will all change soon.
How are you @Decadian?
@TAB & @Kurra off to work again today?
Hi @Former-Member & @Former-Member. Thinking of you both.
How are you @Former-Member & @Faith-and-Hope?
We got a heap of rain last night 38mm in the hills above us. It will all start flowing into our creeks soon. Only expecting mild flooding, but now they say there is nore to come.
@Appleblossom. How are you?
I'm driving my boy to meet his dad this afternoon. His dad is taking him to Tassie for a long weekend. I'm so surprised. My son didn't respond much. Neither happy or sad. I guess he needs to process the up and down ride he goes through with his dad.
Other than wishing winter would leave - still cold here & wanting more sleep - all is good.
I hope everyone is doing okay

@utopia

I know my kids have responded to their dad's circumstances with a sense of "flatness" often ..... it's a form of shield and vigilance for their emotional self-protection. Your son is applying self-care as he remains engaged with an unstable relationship .... he is making a choice and feels secure enough to do so, it would seem.

Kudos to you !! ❤

Been walking the river bridges .... sunny but cold .... watching the water sparkle with beautiful sunshine ..... 😊

No dolphins in evidence today ......

Time to get home and into more commitments for the day ....

Catch y'all later .....

Hugs to those laying low today ..... hope you're okay .....

🌷💜💕🌷💜💕🌷

Re: Moving forward

@Faith-and-Hope. Sounds beautiful where you are.
Some of our bridges are out of bounds due to the creek waters rising. Already have some road closures due to flooding. It's a big country with such varied weather.

Re: Moving forward

It is all do-a-ble @Kurra.
Short term perhaps!
I think keeping busy is good, as long as occupation doesn't become too heavy or bogged down.😊
