Hard as in “this doesn’t apply to me” or hard as in, “this was stuff I don’t like talking about”?

Just curious.

I haven’t ridden a bike outside in years. Our city now has bike rental stations all over the downtown area and I’ve been dying to do it but…I’m sorta like you. A little bit nervous!

Anyway…my balance did suffer a bit. I did a little bit of yoga in the beginning and that seemed to help me.

We have a member here who is good with interpreting labs AND needs to be called out of hiding, so if you have any questions, feel free to tag @pam-t. 🙂

Ok I hope she doesn’t cuss me out for this but I feel like @kspot42 needs to be in this thread too. She has been coping with some stuff that I will let her share if she chooses to!

Kathy, I think you’ve stumbled onto some important stuff here. But one thing I wanted to pluck out that you said is important. You mentioned working on yourself for…[Read more]

It’s YOU! And I’m so glad you’re here. We are a small but mighty community so far. Holler if you need us. We are here for you! Welcome.

Today has been the most boring day ever. But I guess that’s what I needed.

Eats so far:

Breakfast sandwich
Protein bar

Not sure what else is on deck. I am going to try to swing by the lake on my way home for at least one lap (1.25 miles). I’m wearing a dress/panty hose so I don’t think it’s prudent to do more than that. #chaffing

In this same trip I was also stuck in the back of a truck with a puking child for a 1.5 hour drive down the mountain. Fun times.

In the child’s defense, he’d only ridden in a vehicle a handful of times and his little stomach just wasn’t ready.

I was actually worried about that (and throwing folks off with the days).

I post at night because some folks are early morning journalers and…much as I love you all…I’m not waking up at 4 a.m. to post the prompt! So I usually do it right before I go to bed.

Hmmmm…that seems to me like a pretty compelling reason NOT to read the prompt at night! But I hear ya. I was actually worried about that (and throwing folks off with the days).

@susan you were right. I never almost got arrested for indecent exposure lol.

@sarahlareina, I was in fact nearly chased down by an angry bull in the northeast mountains of Haiti. Granted, so was the rest of the camera crew I was with lol. The bull did not like any of us.

I understand completely. And to me it’s not like a death in the family. It is a death in your family and you have to grieve! I’m so glad you’re giving yourself the time and space to do that.

I didn’t want to push too hard to get you to post but I was thinking of you. Thank you for checking in. I was gonna give it a few more days then email you!

I wanted to start off the positive self-talk train by saying I think you’re awesome. You contribute here in so many ways. You are on Facebook helping folks out. I think that you are one of the best people I know. So go out there and do it this week! 😉

How long/short your journal entries are is up to you! The prompts are just meant to get you thinking about a particular subject but I think there will be some prompts that will elicit longer responses, and some shorter responses. I would recommend, though, that you leave some blank space after ones that are super-short just in case you have a…[Read more]
