What did YOU do today to take care of yourself?

And if you did nothing, what do you plan to do tomorrow?

This is THE most important part.

Today I did yoga with my kids. I have not done that in months. We all had a great time and let me tell you, 6 year olds are VERY flexible...made my muscles ache to watch her.

Today I did Pilates and went to the movies with my BF mother..

Today I stood at the bay window in my dining room, looking out at the trees behind my house and appreciating the beautiful sunshine (even though it was cold) that was shining between the branches. I also worked on two school projects, which I felt I completed well. I was satisfied with my online classroom contributions. I felt I had an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the day and educate myself a bit as well. All in all, a good day for ME.

Today I cleaned my house (a clean house is very relaxing) and went to home depot to buy stuff to remodel my son's room (Making my kids happy is very comforting to me).

Now with my youngest asleep, I'm going to enjoy a movie.

Well this whole week has been about me. LOL I had my stent put in my blocked cardiac artery last Friday. I had chest pains all week so they did another heart cath yesterday outpatient, but said that my heart looked great!! So I celebrated by sleeping, relaxing, reading and watching a movie with my teen daughter and my mother who is visiting and been taking care of me all week.

It's been hard. I'm not a good patient. I'm not good at letting people wait on me. IT makes me very uncomfortable. But this week I felt so bad I didn't have a choice. But I have a clean bill of health with strict instructions of course to change my lifestyle. But I plan to do that. To take care of ME and do something nice for myself EVERY single day and celebrate my life!!

HUGS to all

I cleaned my bedroom, then I went and bought myself a new gas grill. My daughters boyfrineds grilled for us. A good day for everyone here.

I slept in with my husband (thank you thank you to our 6 month old for that unusual gift!), enjoyed watching the rain, went to the 3rd series of a Big Book Study as done in the 1940s, and am spending time here with you all!

I spent the whole day at an intense child abuse conference. It wasn't so much for me in the short term as it is the last real thing I needed to do before I can apply for my psychotherapist license, after 12 years in the field. So I guess it was for me in a sense...but not so much in another way. When I got home I took a hot bath and laid down on my floor with a blanket and watched "Iron Chef".

I ordered pizza for lunch for the kids and me. I decided to take it easy.

I went to speak with my real estate agent to get info on starting my career. I now have a goal set to take back my life and enjoy it. I had my hair cut and colored and my brows waxed. I also had my lip waxed (ain't menapause fun!!!). I spoke with my AH around 6:00, he said he was going to bed b/c he was so tired. I thought back to new years eve and the wheels of doom started turning so I threw a wrench into the gears and stopped it. I originally came here to post on my thoughts and am so thankful that I am posting this instead.
Thanx Jenny this is wonderful.
Good night to all

I started packing boxes for my move to my new home and my new life. Been putting it off, but my Mum was here to help. Aren't Mums great?

nocellphone

I began my day making conscious contact with HP.

I ate a healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks.

I got up, cleaned up and showed up where I was supposed to.

I made the bed (this is self-caring insomuch as it avoids a future altercation with m'wife... ).

I made tennis arrangements for after work, and then I'll prob'ly go to an 8:30 meeting.

And, of course, I showed up here!!!



Thanks for the thread, JennyK! We should do this every day!

Peace!

Today I went back to bed and read a book. A WHOLE book for hours and hours. It was incredible. I love being on vacation and having my husband sober and playing with the kids. And I LOVE Alice Hoffman books.

I went to dinner last night with my mom and by youngest son, (older ones slept over at thier cousins, which was also nice for me). I went shopping and bought a new shirt.

Nothing yet today but hey it's not even 3pm yet!!!

Went to my counselor apointment and got some information about some co-dependency classes that are coming up.

Lately, I've been making more meetings. Six out of seven nights a week, I am either in an Al-Anon meeting, or an open AA meeting. The other night, I'm on the phone with my sponsor or an Al-Anon friend. My recovery, I have discovered, is as important as the alcoholics. So for the next few months, I am committed to making it the top priority. I finally realized that if I'm not moving forward, I'm moving back. I don't ever want to go back to what it was like when I first walked into Al-Anon. I don't have to go back. But I have to make it #1. Hugs, Magic

Today I start belly dancing lessons.

OK, quit laughing. It's possible that I won't look completely ridiculous.

cwohio

cup - where are those classes - are they open to anyone - can you pm me about them?

Karmic

I read my Al-Anon lit. I prayed and Meditated. I called my Sponsee's back. I reminded myself that I cannot do this on my own power. My Higher Power is where my strength and hope come from.

I work my program because without it, I do not have a life worth living.

Peace and love,
Karmic
