🌷This past week was a VERY busy one... We took a small trip to the Lake last weekend, enjoying the scenery, and did LOTs of Walking throughout the weekend. The week began with a TON of errands, some appointments, More Pre-summer preparations on our home, and some finalized Shopping Trips for Mother's Day~ I felt like I was on the go every second of each day this week~ But it was nice to be moving around as much as I was and doing some different things.

🌞 Its pretty much felt like Summer-time through most of the week here. Lots of sunshine to start and pretty warm temps. It was a great "Mood booster". Got in lots of walking with the Furbaby, Zumba, & Aqua Classes.... I kept up with and met most of my weekly goals, & stayed on track with everything except for Sleep.

🌺 This weekend's Intentions are to plan for Mothers Day, by celebrating not only myself with maybe some shopping, a nice dinner, and good movie.... but of course to visit & spend time with both my own Mom & my Son.

Hi, Ocean,

Happy mothers day to you!

🌷 Hey everyone, In Continuing with MAY's "MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH", In what ways did you take care of yourself this week & How are you doing? I let myself sleep as late as I wanted, and told myself which chores were important for me to complete, and which I could float until another day if I wanted.

🌞 MAY tends to be a time that our Mood is "BOOSTED" with Spring-time, More Sunshine, Better & Warmer weather, and knowing that Summer is around the corner.......But there are Sooo many ways to "Boost Your Mood" for BETTER "MENTAL HEALTH"!.... CLICK HERE to see our list of TIPS to BOOST YOUR MOOD.... Tell Us WHICH of these Tips have you tried, Which work for you, or Which are your Favorites?!

1. I always keep it cool while sleeping
2. I went to a store in a new location. (although most stores are in a new location for me since I just moved.)
3. I did my best not to pick at my fingers, which helps them look prettier
4. I kept up with unpacking boxes and put things away that are too small for me.


🌺 This Sunday is "MOTHERS DAY"..... How do you/or will you celebrate and show appreciation for the "MOTHER or MOTHER FIGURE" in your life?

🌷 JUST FOR FUN: If you were taking a Road-Trip, what's ONE Song that you could play Over & Over?!

I forgot to say how I will celebrate mothers day. I won't. My mother passes away 20ish years ago. I am a mother to a furry baby, Chloe, but I won't celebrate the day for myself.

As to what song I would play over and over, I don't have one right now. My focus and thinking is all over the place, since I live in a new city and new state.

Hey there Tree~ Thank you for the Mothers Day wishes :) <3

Thats great that you let yourself sleep as late as you wanted! Sometimes we just really need to do that and it feels so good.... But also that you took the time to decide what you wanted to work on and which things could absolutely wait until you are ready. Thats a good way to take care of yourself. Keep up the great work!

I love your list! Awesome work there!... I think its cool as well that you have some "new" things to see and stores to shop at since your move. Its nice to have some new things to "explore". I hope you are enjoying your new location?!

Your check-in seems quite positive, and that is great. I have to assume that things are going well in regards to the new move and location. And that you are getting settled in nicely?


I thank you for stopping by to check-in with us and continuing to let us know how things are going for you. Please continue to keep us updated on everything and how you are continuing to adjust!

🌷 Hey everyone, In Continuing with MAY's "MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH", In what ways did you take care of yourself this week & How are you doing? I had a very hard week due to having a bad almost break up with my boyfriend and I was in a very bad place mentally, worrying and was depressed. Buuuut, we fixed it. I took care of myself by eating, at least. <3

🌞 MAY tends to be a time that our Mood is "BOOSTED" with Spring-time, More Sunshine, Better & Warmer weather, and knowing that Summer is around the corner.......But there are Sooo many ways to "Boost Your Mood" for BETTER "MENTAL HEALTH"!.... CLICK HERE to see our list of TIPS to BOOST YOUR MOOD.... Tell Us WHICH of these Tips have you tried, Which work for you, or Which are your Favorites?! I didn't read the list, because I already copied and pasted to type out my responses, but.......To boost my mood, i listen to music, i write, i use fresh air and go on walks, i eat some good food, i chat online. <3

🌺 This Sunday is "MOTHERS DAY"..... How do you/or will you celebrate and show appreciation for the "MOTHER or MOTHER FIGURE" in your life? I AM GOING TO SEE MY MOMMA TOMORROW. I am very very happy about it. as i don't get to see her much. <3

🌷 JUST FOR FUN: If you were taking a Road-Trip, what's ONE Song that you could play Over & Over?! Just any good POP because I can't choose just one song. lol.

🌞What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?! My highlights were, making up with my boyfriend, eating, seeing my friend even though that day i was mentally anguished. Also walking with a friend, talking to my sobriety sponsor, spending time with my 2 cats, listening to music, and the warm weather. My struggles this week: sleep apnea, a near breakup, depression and anxiety during that, relapsing on a medication i have been trying to work on quitting, and missing a dr appointment. Overall, I'm just really grateful. Especially to my higher power.

🌺 What is something that "YOU" want to talk about, add or share with us this week?! ....WE want to hear from YOU!~ If you are going through a storm, THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!! Stay strong. You are not alone. And if you haven't heard it from anyone else today, I LOVE YOU

Hey there Sky~ Sorry to hear that you have had a hard week. Breakups are hard for sure. :( But its good to hear that despite that, that you were able to continue to take care of yourself as needed. Thats really important. <3

I love your list...those are pretty much some of the exact same things I do as well to boost my own mood. Great list and great job!

Awww... thats really great that you made plans to go and see your mom for Mothers Day. I'm sure she enjoyed seeing you, as well your time together. I hope that you both enjoyed the day!

haha.. IKR?! I can't choose just "one" either.. But do you have a 'Favorite'?! ( I like Pop too), anything with a good beat that I can dance to.

Wow... sounds like despite the struggles of your past week, that you had a LOT of really great "Highlights'! And that is really great that you were able to see that to for yourself, and that you were able to remain "grateful". (And yes, agree... gotta give All the praise to our Higher Power for sure)! Amen~

Thank you so much for the added insight and words of advice~ I know many of us here can surely use them! That is really sweet of you, and its very appreciated. <3

Thank you so much for checking in this week, and letting us know how you are doing and how your week went for you. Please continue to keep us updated on how things are going.

🌷 Hey everyone, In Continuing with MAY's "MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH", In what ways did you take care of yourself this week & How are you doing?

As always I was able to keep working out and sleeping on our consistent schedule, and the weather has been warm enough here to let us get in some long walks after work, which is always a nice bonus.

I love #10 on this list:
10. Sometimes, we don't need to add new activities to get more pleasure. We just need to soak up the joy in the ones we've already got. Trying to be optimistic doesn't mean ignoring the uglier sides of life. It just means focusing on the positive as much as possible.
There is so much that I am able to see and do and think every day that I appreciate. I will happily focus more on those instances.

🌺 This Sunday is "MOTHERS DAY"..... How do you/or will you celebrate and show appreciation for the "MOTHER or MOTHER FIGURE" in your life?

Mother's day where we live was last week, and unfortunately we live very far away from my mother, who I love, but we are close to other female family this year and we were able to spend a beautiful day cooking outside with them.

🌞What were your "Highlights Or Struggles" of the week?...... How were you able to work through your challenges?!

Highlights continue to involve a promising new opportunity I might have at work (round two of meetings about it are on Monday -- hoping for a very happy meeting), and challenges include being very busy with too many aspects of my job, and the special fear-dread of anxiety occasionally consuming whole mornings or days.

🌺 What is something that "YOU" want to talk about, add or share with us this week?! ....WE want to hear from YOU!~

Happy mother's day, Ocean!

Hey there Star~ Thank you for the Mothers Day wishes! That is really sweet of you :) <3

That is awesome for you that you were able to continue to keep up with working out as well as your sleep schedule! Yay! ....I agree that its really great that the weather is cooperating now for a chance to get some nice walks in. Great job and continue to keep up the great work that you are doing!!

Thank you for sharing your insight regarding the List.... That is awesome that you are able to put your focus and the appreciation on the positives! Keep going!

Thats too bad that you live a long way from your mom, But hopefully you were able to talk with her in a phonecall or some other way... and how awesome that you were also able to spend the day doing other enjoyable things like cooking out. That really does make for a good time during this time of year.

Despite your challenges of the week, How lovely for you that you have a possible new work opportunity! That is great and certainly something to look forwards to. Good luck and keep us updated on how things go!

Thank you for checking in this week and keeping us updated. Please check back and let us know how you are continuing to do.

Here’s how the past week went. I’m still adjusting to my new environment. I haven’t read any art history or theology books for the past 3 weeks because the lighting is so inadequate. I try to do my prayer time when Alan isn’t being an interference. Monday and Tuesday I just watched live stream all day. I’m very happy without a television because I don’t' have to watch Alan’s stupid TV programs. Tunde told me about something called “Firestick” that allows you to live stream any channel. The channels available on live stream without a Firestick are very limited. Wednesday and Thursday I went to the library to study my poetical interpretation book, and also went for a walk. Tunde took the day off on Friday because he is coming over on Monday to do my laundry. I pay Leslie money to use the washer and dryer here but I’m tired of putting up with the hassle. Next week I have an appointment with my primary care physician on Friday for my annual physical. I’ve been very active on social media apart from the chat room. One thing I like about Alan is he is good at cleaning up Stuart’s fece stains. Mother’s Day is Sunday. Leslie is a bad mother. I suffer from a lot of eye fatigue and need laser resurfacing for the area under my left eye. Tunde is going to take two weeks vacation in June, so I’m going to have two weeks of doing absolutely nothing with my life.

@Regmo

Hey there Regmo~ Thats too bad for you that your week was off track in being able to do the things you typically enjoy doing. I'm sure it will still take some time to get used to things and the move and get into an ongoing routine again. Firestick is really nice... we have had one for years. And yes, you can pretty much get or watch whatever you want with it (even without cable etc...). Thats good that you were able to get out to the Library and also for your walk. Thats nice that Tunde is able to help with your laundry. Sounds like he is a real Gem and working out pretty well for you compared to the others of the past. I think that is extremely crazy that Leslie is making you pay to use the washer and dryer? If Tunde is going away for 2 weeks, I wonder if you could talk to your social worker about having a back-up during his time away? Or being able to help you in some way during that time while he's gone? Maybe if you reach out to them and explain the situation and see what they say. Thanks for checking in this week and continuing to keep us up to date, and on how things are going.

I celebrate by visiting my mom’s grave site as well as some grandmothers. Do one thing she likes for fun. Share memories with family and friends.


I would listen to Roadside Snacks by Bonus Points.


one highlight is having my foot diagnosed. Currently have tendinitis. Struggle will be wait for physical therapy for next two months. Hobble around the office a little longer.

Hey there Moon~

That is really nice that you continue to take time to make it a special day for yourself by honoring your mom and visiting her site (and doing something that she would like).


Hmm...I have never heard of that song, or that group. I will surely have to look that one up!

Thats good that you were able to get more insight into whats going on with your foot. I know that Tendonitis can be painful. Thats great that despite the wait, that you will be able to get some therapy for it. And hopefully you will begin to feel some improvement.

Thank you for checking in this week and letting us know how things are going for you.
