My therapist always brings coffee. So today I brought her a bag of gourmet coffee❤ Does it count that I'll benefit as well?? I've noticed that actually when I do for others I benefit. Kindness does come back ten fold💖
No one and nothing and I wouldn
@amiablePeace77 I am sending compassionate thoughts to all the people in Australia, US, Siberia and other places around the world affected by the fires that are raging uncontrollably. I think when we look beyond our own wants and desires and see that there are many others suffering, we tend to want to help those others rather than focus exclusively on ourselves.
I asked for help instead I get mass exodus. Then you tell me I am only thinking about me. You need to look at yourself. Thanks
@Lauren63 I am sorry you are so upset. I am not aware of what support you are looking for. Please feel free to PM with your concerns.
@amiablePeace77 Good evening
Back to work today from holiday yesterday. I am struggling because there were some changes at my job of which I have been for over 5 years. It was very secretive, very rushed and to me unprofessional. So I have a new supervisor who has yet to get in touch with me, I am not even sure what my new assignment if anything is or if I indeed to change offices,
Other than that I feel FAT I am going through menopause and although I have lost over 10 pounds again I see a creep up of a few pounds and I'm trying to get it back down. This is a health issue not a cosmetic decision, My pressure and arthritis is better when I am lighter,
I can try to thank my former office for such a kind goodbye with donuts maybe??
I dont like them so it wont tempt me thanks god lol
@Dancersoul I am happy you do not feel tempted by donuts. I find avoiding refined carbs helps me maintain a stable weight when I have adequate protein and veggies and fruits. Just cooked up some lentils tonight to make soup!
