@DanaMH
A very accurate quote, and important topic!
I suffer from several invisible illness, and I think it has been amazing to be a part of 7 cups which teaches the importance and acceptance of self-care, that has helped change my attitude about my journey.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Sorry to hear that you suffer from several invisible illness like a lot of us do on 7cups. It is so great that we all did find this app to help each other through our journey of life to help each other with the ups and the downs and there are so many amazing people on this app also which you are one of them.
I agree the importance and acceptance of self-care is a really important concept and so glad to hear that it has helped change your attitude about your journey.
@DanaMH Thank you for your continued support.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
You are so welcome!

I am NOT ill in any way. I am fine and healthy. On the other hand, I could probably use some support in dealing with illness in both my daughter and GF. Both of them have a huge number of things they can't eat, my daughter also gets very sick to her stomach a couple of times a week, my GF is having surgery next month to remove a tumor, I don't know what that will do for her other problems.
@Offmytrack
Glad to here that you don't have any illness. Eating difficulties is hard and ensuring everyone eats healthy is important. Sorry to hear about your GF hope everything goes good for her surgury and things start improving for both of them.

Dana, when I am travelling on my path I always take my toolbox with me. Sometimes I forget a tool but I started making a note so that I do not to forget future.
@amiablePeace77
That is so awesome to hear that you have your toolbox created and using it so proud of you for doing that. That is also an awesome idea to have a note to remind yourself on what things to bring next time. Sometimes when we are out and about we also find cool things to add to our toolbox for the future also.
@DanaMH
Dana, I agree, adding more and more tools and things will turn out fine.
@amiablePeace77
I have been puttiing some things in my toolbox in the car for our long trips since sometimes we are in a car for 6 hours or more and that way I have things to do also during the trip or to entertain my teenager.
@DanaMH
Dana, that's what I call getting prepared. You seem to be good at it. Glad to have you here, I can learn from you
@amiablePeace77
Thanks - Maybe all those years of boredom going from Washington state to Pennsylvania across the US trained me to be a better mom and have stuff for the kids and me to do.
@DanaMH
Dana, sorry you had such boredom but hey you managed it and at the end you got something very positive out of it!
@amiablePeace77
Thanks and so true.
this past week has had many pleasant surprises, even the unpleasant ones brought me successes, as i met the challenges. i feel a renewal of energies and a lessening of inhibitions.
@GusteeMoon123
Glad to hear that you had some pleasant surprises and the unpleasant ones brought you successes and that you did manage the challenges. It is also great that you are feeling the renewal of energies and a lessening of inhibitions in your life.

i had a lovely day yesterday, got to go for a ride up in the mountains to see the trees beginning to change colors,, it was just lovely~ came home exhausted but happy~
@GusteeMoon123
That is good to hear you are so eager for the next check-in that I am posting later today.
That sounds like an amazing time going up in the mountains to see the trees beginning to change colors sounds so relaxing also. We also took a drive yesterday and it was a lot of fun and saw different colors in the trees and a river near by also.
