50's plus Week-end Check-in March 22-24, 2019
Hello beautiful people, I like to wish you all an amazing weekend. 
Positivity at Home
When coming home we all have some things which make us particularly feel well. For some its kicking of the shoes, grabbing a favorite drink and sitting down for a while for others its cuddling a pet, getting a snack - everyone has their own thing.
Those are things which can make us feel comfortable but what about the home itself?
How does a room make you feel when you enter?
Is there something which catches your eye immediately and makes you smile, like flowers, a beautiful picture, a furniture in an inspiring colour?
If you are interested to get more information you can google "feng shui".

Hi all, I have been trying to attend "50+ Open Chat for issues concerning midlife" but am having trouble. When I click on it, it just goes to another page of it which has nowhere to click. The chat should have been going on for the past hour while I've been looking.
@MsBrownieBee
I am very sorry to hear about that problem. Sometimes technical issues occur unfortunately. You can email the technical support support@7cupsoftea.com about it or check whether the problem is still existing and if so email then. Let me know please if you need any further assistence. We appreciate that you joined our50+ community and want to make sure you get access to the discussions.
Well today is the day I have been stressed about since loosing my father March 11th. We are having a service at his Mormon church to celebrate his life and tell his spirit we will see him later. I am emotionally broken right now and I am and always have had fear of public speaking. I have not been able to prepare a obituary of his life and I can only try not to breakdown while speaking though I know I will. I am also not Mormon and will try not to feel judged while there.
@bgdave
dave, you are going through a terrible time, very very sorry about your dad, everything must be overwhelming right now.I send you love and hope you will get through okay 🧡
Hi
I doubt anyone noticed that I have been busy - working at a temp job. This weekend wasted on tax forms and still not done. I am taking a deserved break, and soaking my feet. Ahh.
@Chickadee123
Hope you enjoyed your foot bath, great idea after such a busy time.
In my home I notice sunlight, open space, tidyness and fresh air or the scent of yummy cooking. Those are the things that make me happy. If they arent there, then I work on them 😄. The way my space looks and feels is very important to me.
@Zengrl
Zengrl, you are doing an awesome job to create a pleasant atmosphere around you

How does a room make you feel when you enter?
Certain rooms in our home I have done as decor to make it a calm room. My arts and craft room has mostly things of my Mom who passed away in there. She always loved doing something so it is a room where We can enjoy together
Is there something which catches your eye immediately and makes you smile, like flowers, a beautiful picture, a furniture in an inspiring colour?
The rooms that have pictures of loved ones who are alive and those who have passed away
@pamharley003
pam I am so sorry that I saw your post only today. Last days were kind of challenging to me so sorry again.
Your mom and you must have been very close and this room must have a very special meaning to you.
It's wonderful to have a dedicated place showing the loved ones, maybe sit in there with a cup of tea and bringing up memories. A room which tells a story of life.
When I walk into a room, I always think about what I havent done. It stresses me out and then I decide to just not do anything. I keep everything clean and neat but big jobs, I just cant do anymore. Its like Im in quicksand and cant make a decision. And if anyone gives me grief about this post...
@Lauren63
Big jobs can be intimidating, what about doing them in steps, a little at a time?
Wish you a great weekend.
8 days
I feel like my hope and will are gone. Life feels so broken and hopeless. I have no local friends to lean on or get motivated by. I thought my depression was bad at times before and since my father has died I feel like my life is over....
@bgdave
dave, I am so so sorry, but somehow I did not see this post. How are you doing now?
@amiablePeace77
Thanks for your reply. I am in a lot of pain trying to deal with it with nothing to really help. I have been seeing a therapist and will be returning to work on Tuesday. I have been struggling with a permanent spinal pain issue and trying to get approval from my health insurance for back nerve block injections. To make my pain much worse I was riding a rented electric scooter Friday and it suddenly stooped as I was slowing and I went flying off onto the asphalt. I am not a little man...6
@bgdave
oh no dave, the spinal pain is bad enough and now you fall down on the hard asphalt - so sorry to hear that. HUGS 🧡
Did you get inquired?
I hope that you will get the nerve block injections and that they will help you. Can you do any exercises or stretches to help yourself as well?
