**AND ANY & ALL "NEWBIES" THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US!
Hi Ocean, thanks for the check-in post. My week has been good, spending time here and helping out whenever I can. It has been meaningful and satisfying. Over all the month went by very quickly since the lockdown hit us again so we were indoor most of the time. I do wish things pick up a little bit more next month. That is for now i think, i will write a longer share soon 💖💖📝📝
**This past week again went very well!... Stayed on track with everything (Meal planning, meals, water, and activity). Was able to get my Pool Opened over the weekend finally! So now able to start incorporating Pool Workouts again! Which I'm thrilled with simply because I love the water, and it helps with my Knee issues. It was so nice here this past week that the water was very enjoyable despite just getting it opened.
**I was kind of stuck dog-sitting for a relative a majority of the week, which is always a little crazy since I have my own dog too. But we made it work. Glad that things are now back to normal there though despite that its a very loving and sweet dog. I only taught 2 of my 4 classes this week due to appointments.
**This weekend will be a nice, long, extended weekend due to the Memorial Day Holiday here... and I'm really looking forward to it. We got some Picnic foods and plan to have our first Cook-out to start the season ahead~ Intentions are to get up Sat. morning and head to a Group Fitness class to start my weekend. Then do some work around the house, a few errands, and then relax for the weekend~
ENJOY THE WEEKEND AHEAD~
Whats ONE thing that you are looking forwards to as this month comes to an end?!
That we all become free from our past and enjoy our lives.
What have been your "Highlights or Struggles" this past week?
I tried to do things right but had my bad moments but I am holding onto hope.
What would "YOU" like to talk about or share with us about your Week?! WE want to hear from YOU
I wish everyone safety, strength and motivation.
Thanks for check-in .
Have a nice weekend 🐦
@Storyhymns1234
Hey there~ Looking forwards to enjoying your life is always a good thing. Is there some reason thats "more" special about that for you this month?
Its really great that you are trying and that you are also continuing to "Hold on to Hope"! Having Hope is a great, and will continue to get you through many things.
Thank you so very much for wishing us (Safety, strength and motivation)! I certainly can use all of those personally! And I'm sure others here can as well. And we wish the same for you!
We thank you for stopping by to share and check-in with this week and hope that you enjoy your week ahead as well!
@PoliteOcean Here's how the past week went. Monday I had therapy and later went grocery shopping and also for a walk. My email friend Brandi stopped writing me and I don't know what the reason is. 
Wednesday I went for a second walk and also did an afternoon study session. Usually I can only do one activity per afternoon. As you already know, Thursday I went to get my second covid shot but they said it was too early. Friday I did one hour of group art therapy. I shared some pics of my art and it was a big hit.
My creepy roomie was in the hospital for two days to get his bloody lump removed off his face. For this upcoming week, I have no therapy because of the holiday weekend. Hopefully I will go for a walk on Monday and Wednesday, and then Friday I'm getting my second covid shot. Also on Wednesday I might be attending group therapy for anxiety. I'm still studying computers but sometimes I wonder if I might be putting too much pressure on myself. My life needs a purpose. It's difficult balancing my physical limitations with how lousy I feel on the inside. From an external perspective I have an easy life, yet from the inside it's very difficult because of a loss of freedom. 
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo... Sounds like you started off with a pretty busy Monday. Thats great that you got in another walk for yourself! Thats too bad about your Email friend Brandy. Have you tried emailing her again to ask if everything is alright with her? I know for me, sometimes I have this problem with "rejections", so due to my "pride", I don't always reach out to people like I Should or could. Perhaps reaching out one more time to see if she responds? Thats really good that you were able to get in a 2nd walk as well on Wednesday. Sounds like your weather must've been really great where you are this week just like it was for us here where I am. Great walking weather. Its nice that you were also able to get in a study session for yourself. (Yes I do remember about your 2nd Shot 
) Hopefully all that will continue to come together for you in the next week. How cool you got to do Art Therapy. What type of Art did you do? Drawings? Paintings? Thats cool that they were a "hit" for you. Sounds like you have another busy week ahead and planned for yourself. How do you feel about attending the "Group" therapy?? That will be rather different from one on one. Have you done a "group" session before? I know we can often feel stuck and lost without have a 'purpose' to focus on. And sometimes that can be difficult when we are unsure of what to do with ourselves.... Or have physical limitations of some sort.....Sometimes being around others and being in a group with others that are dealing with things in life like you are, or working towards the same things you are can help with that. Or even help you in finding a connection with someone else. Maybe the group therapy will allow you to do that? I know that I have always seemed to thrive more in small group settings with like-minded people. And it gives me the support and motivation I need to do "more". Or even strive for more sometimes. Whatever the group might be. Hopefully you will your purpose soon as you continue to work on all the things you are doing for yourself to be better (Appointments, your studies, your group therapy).... sometimes it takes things longer to transpire, but it surely doesn't mean it won't come together for you. Keep us up dated on things and how that group setting goes for you! And thanks for sharing as always. and letting us know how things are continuing to go.
@PoliteOcean If I could add one more thing to my post, I dislike 3 day weekends because of no stock market news. I'm not invested, but I use the stock market news to stay emotionally regulated and keep me grounded.
*** Hey everyone~ How is your week going?! It is kind of lazy, but I need the rest. . . I have aches on my feet, hands, and jaw.
***This is our LAST Check-in for the Month of MAY!... How do you feel this month has gone for you overall?! What was the BEST part of this past month for you?! I had a wakening. . . I learned that I cannot control others and some thing are out of my hands. It's still a process, but I am working at it. I learn that any progress is good progress. I need to write for myself, for the joy of it. It;s okay to rest.
*** How Many of you Took Part in the MAY MEMBER APPRECIATION EVENT?! What do you feel you learned from the event or regarding "STIGMAS"?! Do you feel there are some things you could do or try differently from this event moving forward?!
I need to stop being so hard on myself. I am not a superhero.
***Many of us will embark upon a "Extended" Weekend ahead, as we celebrate and Honor "Memorial Day" here in the USA.... Do you have any plans for this weekend or Memorial Day itself? Are any of you Veterans or close to one?
I'm making hamburgers and hotdogs
***Whats ONE thing that you are looking forwards to as this month comes to an end?! I'm hoping the weather goes up to 70 and stays there.
*** What have been your "Highlights or Struggles" this past week? My struggles were more with self-worth, overthinking and my body aches. I have exercise and made sure to get rest.
*** What would "YOU" like to talk about or share with us about your Week?! WE want to hear from YOU!~
I was told if you are breathing and no the hospital then you at least have two things to be thankful for.
@Rebekahwriter13
Hey there Rebekah~ I hear ya!... Its a great weekend to be a little lazy!... (I was having some knee and foot issues myself). So I can relate to what you are saying.
Wow..its kind of crazy... It seems that both You and myself, have come to this "revelation" around the same time. I too have come to realize that I can't control what others decide to do. Maybe thats the whole reason why we drive ourselves crazy sometimes. Is that we want things to go or be a certain way, and when it doesn't, we try to control it in some way so that it does. And in the process, we totally stress over it and stress ourselves out. And it all might come down to what "Someone else" has done, or didn't do. Causing us to feel that way in the end. ......... We certainly need to work on that and yes, you are totally correct, its certainly also a "Process"! But its so great that you are continuing to work on that! And yes, any progess forward is still progress and thats a good thing. And its always ok to rest when we need to!
I totally understand what you are saying as well when you say you need to stop being so hard on yourself. (We tend to be our own worst critics)! We surely do need to be more gentle with ourselves. We cannot be everything to everyone. We have to take care of ourselves and love ourselves too. And that too is another process.
Hamburgers and hotdogs sound great! I will be doing the same thing. I haven't had a good burger or hotdog in awhile and I like to splurge once in awhile too. Holidays are certainly a great time to do that.
I see you are waiting for your weather to warm up a bit... what has the temperature been there recently where you are?
I understand what you mean by "overthinking" and struggling with self-worth. I think many of us tend to do that from time to tme. Some more than others. Depending on our personal situations. But, its ok to feel what we feel, as long as we don't stay there, and try what can do to work towards being better and feeling better. And its great that you are resting when you need it.
Yes having breath, health, life and strength are all very important and should alone give us a purpose each day!.. Whoever said that is so very correct. Thanks for checking in this week and letting us know how things are going for you. Sounds like you are doing very well this week and have come to many personal revelations for yourself! Proud of you! Keep going you are doing a great job on yourself.
