@thoughtfulmomma
Hi there @thoughtfulmomma 😊 💐
Sorry to hear there are some negative thoughts upsetting you. Maybe it can help a bit trying not to get caught also in negative emotions that could happen when we face this kind of thoughts?...it's like to try to just observe the thoughts from the outside, so to speak, without judgment.
If that's too difficult or not possible I then hope there can be something enjoyable you can do during the weekend, what could it be?
Nice idea to start walking, i love it too! Spring is ahead so... fingers crossed some warmer days will happen soon, let me know when you will start your walking activity...we need to celebrate it and make a good plan ✨
Have a good weekend and if you feel to post again to let me know how you feel daily, I will be glad to text you back ❤️
@WharfRat
Hello there @WharfRat
Sorry to hear you feel bad, sometimes things don't go as we wish them to and it surely is difficult to deal with it. Love needs two to blossom and grow, so I wish you to be able to let go for something that isn't giving you any positive emotion.
If you can think of any light and simple physical activity (long walks? ) as part of self care maybe it'll be possible to start a new routine. Start with little steps and see if it'll feel beneficial, also for your mood.
Take care 😊

@UberRuminator
Hi @UberRuminator!
To walk is perfect! Also because it's an activity we do outside, breathing fresh air, exposing to light and sun that helps having good D vitamin levels! Plus we can enjoy the surrounding, the place.
Where do you like to walk?
When i go to the mountain i enjoy it there, when I'm in the city i choose big park areas.
Happy weekend to you 😊
@MeaningfulSilence
There are a few trails in town that I can choose from when I’m physically able to go. Even though it’s still in town, it seems like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Didn’t go out today though due to the cold. Spent all day in bed...
@UberRuminator
Hi, it's nice that you have a favorite place to go to 😊
Sorry that this weekend you did not feel like moving and weather played a role to.
But there are new days to look at : things can be different....weather too ;)
@MeaningfulSilence, Hi, Silence,
@purpleTree4652
Hi @purpleTree4652 😊💐
Sorry for the stress with the work situation. I really wish it won't ruin your weekend or me-time moments.
If you need to relax and rest then go for it and find time to do something you enjoy, anything...important is that's something that makes you feel good.
Take care!
@MeaningfulSilence What is your physical activity routine? Bed or Wheel Chair

@MeaningfulSilence WOW I was just following along. I never expected such a wonderful response. Thank you so very much. I appreciate it more than you know. I'll have to find my way back after my eyes sleep to be able to truly ready it. LOL But, that just means your kindness blessed me two days.
@SilverPap
You are welcome @SilverPap 😊
Please have a good rest, there's no rush!
I take my dog out for a walk four times a day and then take him for a 20 minute walk. I'm going to try something new starting this weekend which is yoga and Tai chi see which one I like the best.
@Loveyourfate
Hi @Loveyourfate, amazing!
Walking dogs is what i do too, so yay for it ☺️👍
Good you are thinking about Yoga and Tai Chi as a new physical activity to try!
There are some other people in 50+ community that already practice them, hope you'll enjoy it, let me know later on!
Have a good weekend over there!
Thank you
@Loveyourfate
You are welcome ☺️
@Offmytrack
Hello @Offmytrack 😊
Glad to hear you re feeling good!
How is/was weather today over there? I find it more comfortable to take my walks when weather is good but don't skip them also when it's foggy, cold or drizzly.
Cool to walk near a creek, i like the lake too 👍
@MeaningfulSilence It's cold today, but I will take a walk anyway.
@Offmytrack
That's good, glad to hear. 😊
Hope it has been enjoyable.
What after a walk in cold weather? A warm shower? Warm cup of tea/coffee/milk?
cheers!
@MeaningfulSilence How is/was weather today over there? I find it more comfortable to take
my walks when weather is good but don't skip them also when it's foggy,
cold or drizzly. It's been cold, colder every day.
@Offmytrack
Oh cool, exactly my words 😊
Fingers crossed it'll get warmer soon !
@MeaningfulSilence thanks for this thread
@soulsings

@soulsings
You are welcome, I meant it 😊
