Hope everyone is doing ok - after battling feeling unwell for over a week I'm giving in and taking a short rest and recreation break from SR.

I'll catch up with you guys when I get back - stay strong, y'all

Feel better soon, Dee.

Hi all, sorry I've not had a chance to read through posts.

Just wanted to poke my head in and say hello. Still here, and will catch up with everyone soon - hope all are well.

Rest up Dee and hope you feel better soon! We'll still be here!

Nothing earth shattering going on at this end outside of waiting for official test results so I can start working!

I hope everyone up north is staying warm through these brutal temps.

On to a productive and sober day (doing something....)

Hi Everyone. About to leave the apt. for work. First of several busy days.

Dee, get well soon!

Anybody else feel like a schoolkid when the teacher just left the room?

Hello all, see you soon Dee. Day 14 here, not much planned, have to stop in at the office to deal with a few things and then some errands. Cold again here today so just going to try and relax later and catch up with my book. Hope everyone has a good Tuesday.

Hi all

Take care of yourself Dee-enjoy your break and I hope you feel better soon

I read something on SR at the weekend which someone posted and liked it so thought I'd mention it here in case anyone benefits from it. Can't remember who posted it (I apologize if it was one of our Dec class )

The poster said she was feeling down/depressed and went to her doctor. The doc said do something that makes you feel good. She went away and thought oh do something you enjoy but then thought about it and realized it wasn't the same thing......

I thought about this too and realized she was right. doing things that make us feel good isn't the same as doing things we enjoy. there are quite a few things that I don't necessarily enjoy doing but DO make me feel good. And in turn,this lifts the mood,depression etc.Food for thought

Hope everyone is ok

Day 45.x

So true ready because exercise is not something that I always want to do but it makes me feel good so I do it.
Another thing we do as a family that make me feel good is we volunteer once a month at the local homeless shelter serving dinner. 85% of the people are there because of addiction and the other 15% because of mental illness. I love being there because I see something different and beautiful in my children when we are there and it is a real sober reminder as to what happens when addiction gets out of control.
I guess I'm a glass half full kinda gal because I can always find someone who has it worse.

Love to All!! Make it a great one!!

Hey Dee don't know when you'll see this now but sorry you are feeling poorly. Take a much deserved rest and feel better.

Like most of you not much to report here. Today has been a busy day at work - always like that after a three day weekend. Very cold here. I have to stay huddled over my little heater in my drafty office.

Stay well all.

Forgot that I wanted to comment on this lifeanew. You are a very good person. I aspire to think more like you and I mean that very seriously.
