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]

Good morning! About to head out for work. Today is going to be a pretty normal day. I have a few meetings this evening, which I’m not too happy about but it is what it is. (I’m trying to stay grateful!)

I’m going to take my sneakers and hit up the lake before I get home, even though it’s chilly outside. I’ll wear a jacket!

Eats. Not really sure.…[Read more]
