Thx again Kenton! You’re just too sweet for words to describe how you always make me(& others) feel valuable & worthwhile!! Love that
I’ll stick around & transfer those feelings in mtgs or even in church
Just watched the president give an awesome speech on Veterans Day! He’s the first to speak @ Veterans Day parade.
CYH thank you very much for your son’s service! I salute him

8:29 and checking in for another 24. Thank you to all who have served, I am thinking of each of you today.
I had a great weekend with my family. Friday night we went to the HS football game, it was round one of the playoffs. I went with my oldest daughter, my other daughter was cheering, so we watched her, Saturday I met a friend to walk at the lake, and then did lots of laundry.p and grocery shopping. Sunday we went to see Blue Man Group, and today went to lunch for my daughter’s birthday. My middle kiddo will be 15 tomorrow, actually at 12:02 AM. We celebrated today because she has rehearsal tomorrow night from 5-10.
I cannot believe there is only a month and a half left in this year, it has gone by so quickly.
Congrats to all celebrating a milestone.

I won't turn to alcohol of that I am sure but I will keep an eye on it for the next couple of weeks and go to the docs if it does not ease.
Ugh sometimes I get a little sick of being me.
I know that this is the majority of the reason I turned to drink. Just for some relief. It stopped working and made me worse. I can't expect to magically well in a few weeks, months or even year I guess but I must admit I am bitterly disappointed to feel so unwell again.
When I really wrack my head to bring out everything that is weighing me down it is all quite normal, day-to-day things:
Work, my daughter's A-Levels, boredom / loneliness, my ex-husband, the state of my house / appearance, Christmas...………...
See? All no different to your average middle-aged single parent. It's just for me it can get overwhelming and then I don't function and then it gets worse etc etc etc
Of course top of the list is my mental health and the fact that 3 different medications didn't even touch the sides. Okay I have to stop this cycle of my head spinning. It doesn't help. A dog walk might so that is what I am going to do.
Sorry for the offload I just wanted to have a little cathartic type out of it all and see if that helps too.
Thank you everyone for everything. SR is my safe place and I am very grateful. 24 more please

I’m sorry you’re having such a tough time. I have found that when I start thinking about everything that’s coming I can make myself a little crazy, but if I stay focused on today, and this moment I am okay. It’s the only thing I can control.
Have you tried any mindfulness apps or videos? They may help.
Maybe you can focus on one thing to do after work each day, go for a walk, cook a nice dinner with the kids, organize one thing in the house, take out decorations... pick one thing and only worry about that.
Sending lots of love your way,❤️

Thank You!! TO ALL VETERANS!!In my belly button Family, my Dad, sister, brother and my 33 year old niece have all volunteered to the U.S. Army. I'm so proud of them! And, OH the stories. Surprisingly many are quite funny, from my sister & Dad.
Not so much with my niece who served in Afghanistan. That was/is very hard on her. She came home after their military vehicle ran over some kind of bomb, her fellow friend & solider didn't make it. Yeah....big sigh...
War. Service. Remembering & Honoring ALL.
I'm in for my next 24.
