I welcome anyone to commit to a goal here today. 

But importantly, talk about getting it done..... or why it didn't happen yet.

To praise each other for our efforts and wins.

While supporting each other through trials and setbacks.

And to continue trying and not give up.

Remember: 
Every Goal should be considered "Worthy".
Never belittle your achievements and be proud of yourself for your daily accomplishments!
Whether they be Complex or Simple.
Getting out of bed is a good day..... Good job I say!

Share your goals today, for support and encouragement.

@Kait

It sounds like something that you are dreading a little bit. It seems like you put it off a little bit a little bit and then, like you said, it becomes a week or two.

Is it something that's hard to write or is it something that might have bad results? Or, you just can't find the time??? 😕.

Try just getting out the paper and pencil or opening your program and just put the date and then one sentence, even if you don't have the time to do the whole thing just get it started. It might be easier to come back to and finish. 

u can do it! 😃

@IsayUncle Oh, I definitely have the time. I think you are right that I am dreading it a little bit. I am avoidant of the DMV and government offices in general, I think it stresses me out. But I just have to buckle in and get things done, and I think having accountability will help me!

@mytwistedsoul I do better writing than talking. The hardest part was choosing a company to write about.

I'm gonna try my luck at three hours of paperwork. 

With all my core balance chores done, finishing the paperwork could put me ahead of the game a little bit.

The catch is..... I'm tired and I just wanna watch TV and go to sleep. 

I'm going for a win, a three hour PUSH....  even a little progress will be better than none.

@IsayUncle They unflagged it?! 😳 That's crazy! But I see it's removed now. That's good 😊 kudos to Tommy! 

Watched some live streams earlier lol. Yesterday and today were actually fairly productive. Getting ready for some snow tonight lol. So wild it was in the 50's yesterday 😂 

Hey progress is progress and you seem to be sticking to it pretty good. Deep sigh of relief when it's done 😊

@mytwistedsoul

That's great you were fairly productive. It's a good feeling.

Getting snow here this early is crazy. You'll be getting our sloppy seconds 😂. It's been snowing on and off since early afternoon yesterday and this morning we actually got some ground covering. About 1/2 an inch.... And still snowing. I love the beauty of snow but don't like the nuisance of it.😕

have a great day. 😃

@Enthenia

Such a sacrifice on your part! 😁. (actually, it probably was because of your time crunch with things) but you're a good pup momma.😃🐶

@IsayUncle well I got one of those "ice-pick" headaches on my way home from the grocery store. It was at the beginning of my neck. Took something for it but then it changed locations. Had to take another headache pill which I don't usually do, but it seemed to just dull the pain slightly.

Anyway, I don't know if that was why I was so tired or if it was because I ate the wrong things again...

But I got the vacuuming done.

I had my sister and her kids over on Thursday.  Tuesday was cleaning, Wednesday was baking, Thursday my daughter and I made our first turkey and did a lot more cooking - it was a fun but busy day.  My sister took this picture of me taking a break/showing off my almost vertical kick (that I can’t hold (yet) without the wall) to my nieces and nephews lol.

@Psalm139

Happy Thanksgiving.... Show-Off....🤩😂😁. Wow, that is amazing. Looks like you got good form with your kicking (halloween picture too). I'd have to guess that it has not been easy to get to that point. That is such a good job. 😃.

You have actually inspired me to do better with my physical therapy.. (really)... If you can do that, I should be able to stretch my arm muscles in order to get full motion above my head and do strengthening exercises so I can lift few pounds over my head. 

Another gathering with your sister. (Way to go). Color me impressed and happy. Sounds like you had a pretty good time and even though the preparation was tiring, it sounds like that went well too.

Thank you so much for posting. It was an uplifting post. I feel like you've crossed some pretty good milestones this year. I don't know if you feel the accomplishments but I think you should be proud of yourself. 😃💗

@IsayUncle Yeah I was totally showing off lol!  My 16 year old can do it better, but I’m 42 so I feel like this is pretty impressive.  They all used to do TKD too, even my sister.  But then their school got too packed.  


I have to admit that the flexibility part didn’t take much effort for me.  The strength is where I need to improve!  But when you work out a lot then muscles do get tighter, so I do a lot more yoga now to maintain my flexibility.  Plus it feels good and calms my anxiety.

I did have a pretty scary situation with my sixteen year old last week.  She left TKD after the first class (she usually stays all 3) and walked over to the bridge.  It was 5:30 but dark.  I dropped her brother off for 6:30 class (I didn’t want to leave my youngest that had a fever that night, so I skipped class) and when our instructor/friend saw him, he texted me to see if she was ok.  Apparently she hugged him and said she was sore and left.  By this time she had been gone an hour.  I texted and called but she didn’t answer.  He called her too and she didn’t answer for him.  I left immediately to look for her and called again.  She answered and was crying.  She didn’t want to tell me where she was but I know she likes to walk by the river so I went that direction.  I found her pretty quickly then, but she told me she had gone to the bridge and wanted to
jump but couldn’t do it.  She was just super overwhelmed and saying she couldn’t do
it anymore.  She was shaking and crying.  We went back to
TKD and sat to wait for her brother.  Her friend (the instructor) came out and hugged her for a few minutes.  She was able to stop shaking.  The past few days she has been better/normal.  It was like me when I get that way…This is the daughter that I am afraid has BPD too, and now I think it even more 😞

On a lighter note, Im glad I was able to
inspire you to work on your shoulder!  I don’t know exactly what happened with it(other than that you had surgery) but I bet you can make progress!  Just take it super slow and gentle and don’t injure yourself!

@Psalm139

That is very scary. You seem to be very close with your children. I do understand that there is always a great divide between parents and children but beyond that divide sometimes there's a genuine closeness and it seems like you have that with your children.

Did you know what she was talking about when she said she couldn't do it anymore? Or have you talked a little bit more about it since then?

I personally believe that we all suffer from very high highs and very low lows at times and even though disorders make it a lot worse, learning to deal with the natural highs and lows is tough to do and the person needs somebody to lean on and count on so I think it was good that she was able to tell you what was going on. 

Does the whole house know or is it just between you and her? 
(((Hugs))) 💗

@IsayUncle Just me and her know at home.  But also our friend from TKD (the instructor guy, who actually admitted he does like her that way - that night) and my sister know.  

We are pretty close but she thought I would take her to the hospital.  That was actually my first impulse because I had no idea how to help her.  


She was just overwhelmed with “everything”.  Feeling like she couldn’t ever work or do school or “anything” - just general hopelessness 😞
