🌛 This past week was well, and went by quickly~ I started off last weekend going to a Fall Festival, some light shopping after, and started the week off with a "Re-set" for myself which allowed me to get in a better mindset to continue better in my goals.... and during the week stayed on track with workouts/activity, sleep, hydration, and most goals that I set for myself.
🎃 By starting off the week with a Re-set, it put me in a better mindset to continue on through the rest of this year (which some find can be challenge during this time of year with the pending holidays). I continued the week staying on track with my Group Fitness classes, working on choreo, getting out and about with the pup, enjoying the beautiful outdoor Fall weather (which has been INCREDIBLY mild and sunny), and listening to my body and giving it what it needs. I spent alot of time trying to please so many others for such a long time, that its been such a wonderful change to my overall wellbeing to focus on whats really important "First". And then giving my time elsewhere after and when able to.
👻 So far this weekend, I have spent time with and celebrated with Family for a birthday. And will intend to get out and about to continue enjoying the Mild fall weather with a drive, some light shopping, and continue wrapping up my "Horror-Movie-Fest'!
@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean,
I'm so glad to hear that you are putting yourself first. You are so important to me! :)
🍁Hey Everyone~ How are you today?....How has the past week gone for you? I just woke up at 6pm. I had a surprise 4 days off. It's a school break. I didn't know about it until a week or two ago. The beginning of the week I worked long days so my pay would equal out. And then I slept long hours for the past two days. I felt like I needed it. The rest of the week was ok. I only worked with one of the problem students for one day, and the other one called off. The rest of the time I worked with nice students
🌛 This is our "LAST" Check-in for the Month of OCTOBER!~... Thismonth has truly flown by~.... What do you feel were some Positive Highlights for you this past Month?.... How would you "Sum up" this month for yourself? I don't know. I did my homework, and have been getting good grades. It wasn't great. It wasn't terrible. I guess that is better than my life has been.
🍁What were your "Highlights Or Struggles” of the week?......How were you able to work through your challenges?! Thank you for asking but I didn't have any, either way.
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree!~ awww... you are just the sweetest. Thank you for always being so very kind to me!
How wonderful for you to have off 4 days! (I personally love to catch up on my rest during times like that). And it totally sounded like you needed it. <3 So I'm glad that you were able to get that rest. And its so great for you that for the most part you were able to work with the nicer students during your week! I totally know what a difference that could make.
How great for you that you have been making good grades and getting your homework done. It sounds like you are moving along and just doing what you need to do and get done for yourself. And thats a good thing to continue to focus on your goals and keeping your eye on the prize ahead.
I hope that whatever you decided to do (or even dress up as), that you are able to enjoy the day and that it goes well for you at work! (I had to chuckle at the "Funeral Attendant" idea)....because I actually know a few females personally who do that for a living. You'd never guess by looking at them, that it would be their job. But the position itself actually pays well from my understanding!.... But yes I agree that it would certainly be an "easy" Halloween option!
@PoliteOcean
Ocean, How can I get a job as a funeral attendant? I'm serious. If you don't know, please ask your friends who do that work. Thank you so very much.

@PoliteOcean you keep yourself so busy, well done you achieve sooooo much ❤ you are a great person. And yes put you and your family first ❤❤❤gives you a giant tiny hug
@Tinywhisper11
Aww.... how sweet Tiny!!.. *accepts your "tiny" hugs!! <3
🍁Hey Everyone~ How are you today?....How has the past week gone for you?
Today was the worst day of the week, which I am trying to see as both a fortunate and unfortunate thing. It is good that the rest of the week was good enough that today was an anomaly, and still, today was very dark. I'm having issues with what I am. I'm worried what I am makes me a horrific embarrassment to my family.
🌛 This is our "LAST" Check-in for the Month of OCTOBER!~... This month has truly flown by~.... What do you feel were some Positive Highlights for you this past Month?.... How would you "Sum up" this month for yourself?
I am glad for the chance to try to think about the positives in this month. We haven't gotten our report backs yet for our work performances yet -- hopefully next week! maybe the week after... -- but I'm proud of how hard I worked this summer to second week of this month until that period was over. Hopefully I'm still proud once we get our reports. Since then I've also been working hard, even without a break. I won't have a day off until the end of December for our holiday break, so even though I'm proud of my work I'm glad it is only six more weeks until a break. There isn't much positive in this reflection, but I am so full of dread that this is all I can make.
🎃 Halloween is just a few days away..... What are your plans?...What things have you typically done for or on Halloween in the past?....What was your Most Favorite Candy to get for Halloween?
We do not really have Halloween here like in the States! But it is still good to spend some time thinking about the dead and our own lives and ancestors, so this is a good time for reflection before the more cheery holidays come around and push such thoughts out of popularity.
@nordurnStar still praying for you for your work results ❤ bless you your going through so much stress with this. Hugs you to make your day better. ❤❤
@nordurnStar
Hey there Star~
Oh no! Sorry to hear that you didn't have a very great day when you posted your weekly share. I hope for you at this time, that things are better for you? ..... I know it's easy to look at our loved ones around us and not want to feel that we are disappointing them in some way. And that sometimes we suffer (from our own personal issues & cares etc...). But, sometimes we may need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. And come to the realization for ourselves that we don't have to "please everyone". Not even our loved ones. I personally spent so much time "trying" to please others that it totally affected my wellbeing in major ways. Taking time to realize that I needed to focus on what made "ME" happy personally, really changed some things for me. Not everyone has to like that or your decision and choices, but you need to do whatever it is that is going to make "you" happy personally. And what is going to help you function in life going forwards. We wish you the best of luck with that, and whatever you are struggling with. And know that we are here for you.
I'm sorry to hear that you are still waiting to hear back about your work performance. I know how much that has had you (on edge) recently while you wait. However, what I see from my end, is that you feel VERY confident that you did your best, tried your hardest, and worked hard!... And in my eyes, I feel and believe that your work performance will be a Positive one for you! I think sometimes we can be our own worst critics.... and those feelings follow us and linger over us at certain times and in certain situations. But I feel that you are proud of what you have done, and that you will continue to be proud in the weeks to come!
Waiting for time off in December seems like quite a while away... but... I think we all know how fast that time will actually go by! And I feel that for you, it will be some well-deserved time off for you!. And that you will be able to enjoy the holidays ahead with your loved ones as well.
Thank you for checking in this week and sharing your week with us! Please continue to keep us updated on how you are feeling and also how things are going for you!
@PoliteOcean
Ocean, thank you very much for your nice words. Your perspective is very comforting.
@PoliteOcean and friends,
I am new to the group. This past week has it's ups and downs. I had my first visit with my cognitive rehab specialist and she gave me simple exercises to work on. Of course, my wife made fun of it. The problem is, I need to do the work.
I am here waiting for a train to take me back home. We have our son my 2015 CR-V and I got a 2024HR-V because it has better lane assist. The cognitive rehab specialist is surprised Í am driving at all. I drive only within a 30 minute range. Giving my son and his family the care, after s having it give over and fixed up was so positive.
I am not doing too well managing OT, PT and now cognitive rehab. This will be an ongoing challenge, being mobility limited.
Thanks for reading .
@dadalo aww I hope therapy works out well for you ❤❤ don't feel embarrassed about doing exercises. My carers do gentle stretches and exercises with me every morning. Sends love and hugs your way ❤
Thanks so much for the support 💗
@dadalo
Hey there Dadalo! Welcome to the Healthy Living Subcom. Its very nice to have you here sharing with us this week!
We're sorry to hear that you've had some ups & downs over the week. I think its really great that you were able to have a visit with your rehab specialist. And that she was able to work with you, and give you things to work on for yourself. Hopefully your wife's jokes were in good fun for you both and nothing more? However, we do hope that you continue to do whatever it is that is BEST for YOU! And that you work on and focus on whatever it is that you need to do to be the BEST YOU that you can be.
It sounds like you have alot on your plate between all the different therapies, and I do imagine that it will be or seem like a challenge for you. But it sounds like you are getting some of the best care that you need! And that is a wonderful thing. And hopefully you will continue to see the improvements in yourself and all the things that you are working on and working towards!
We are here to support you however we can! And we thank you for sharing with us this week. Please continue to check back weekly with us here in the Healthy Living community, and let us know how things are going for you and how you are coming along with everything!
Thanks so much for the note and vote of confidence. The joking is pretty bad and I don't think she appreciates the cognitive deficits.
Anyways, the good news is that I have a day off tomorrow from any therapy! Thursday is the cognitive remediation, week 2.
Be well, everyone.
@PoliteOcean this month, has been awsome! . I only learnt about Halloween, xmas, birthday celebrating, and all holidays last year, so now i'm gonna celebrate everything from now on 😁😁 on Halloween my carer is gonna get us pumpkins to decorate and she got a game for us to play. . And there's gonna be a escape room game in the positivity room. It's all very exciting😁😁 and next week is my birthday 🎂
@Tinywhisper11
Hey there Tiny~ How great for you that you've had an awesome month! (I personally feel the same way!). I love October!
I think its so wonderful that you have learned about all the different Holidays and that you have found the joy in celebrating them all! Its alot of fun isn't it?!
I've heard about those escape rooms! Sounds like quite an adventure!! And sounds like you have alot more great things coming up including your birthday! Yay!... How lovely that you are enjoying so much around you and having fun!
Thank you again for always sharing with us, and helping to support Sooo many of us here in the Healthy Living subcom! We appreciate you, and glad to hear that things seem to be going so positively for you. Have a great Halloween!
And thank you for sharing with us this week. Please continue to keep us up to date on how you are doing!
@PoliteOcean ❤😁❤
@PoliteOcean Here's how the past week went. Sunday my brother Greg tried to give me a 45 minute theology. He was a drug dealer for 6 years and he's been divorced 3 times. I wasn't buying it. I started to read my commentary on Genesis. It's very good. Monday Chuck brought some sprouts over. That was very nice of him. Chuck has large tufts of hair coming out of his ears. Its so disgusting. He's a terrible driver. I went to the library 3 times and went for a walk 3 times. Thursday morning Stuart left a fece mess in the bathroom. Fortunately Alan cleaned it up. It's been nice and peaceful here since Amanda has left. I started a foreign film journal to write down a list of the films I watch.
@Regmo
Hey there Regmo~ Sounds like your brother has been through alot and might be trying to grasp for some change or positivity in his life? It doesn't make him perfect of course. Maybe he just truly thinks he's helping others? Sometimes some people tend to do that when they've been through alot. Its good that you are enjoying your Genesis commentary. Sounds to me like despite Chucks driving and such, that based on the other things that you have stated, that he seems to be a very nice person, and seems to be working out for you. Thats the important thing. Especially after going through so many others that didn't work out for you. Hopefully he will continue to go well with him. Thats great for you that you were also able to get out and about to the library and get your walks in! You are doing way better than me in the 'Walk' department. I've got to do better. And its good that things have been working out better since Amanda has left. Sometimes its those little positive things that we have to continue to focus on. Thanks for checking in this week and sharing and letting us know how things are going. Please continue to keep us updated.
Hi @PoliteOcean :) I've been away from 7 Cups and this Healthy Living Community for a bit. I don't know if you remember me. I used to comment frequently maybe 7 years ago or so. Lol. It's so nice to see that you're still around here. You are a consistent and welcome presence :) <3
I'm doing alright. 7 Cups is so good. I was just doing some of the path steps. It can be so surprisingly helpful. Maybe I will make a new path, too. I feel like I need something for to-do lists and getting things done.
My goal is to apply to jobs. My smaller goal is to write a cover letter for one specific job. Tomorrow. Which is actually today since it's after midnight.
I think health-wise, brushing my teeth, going for a walk, and coming back on here and/or happify.com are good intentions. They will help my health. Maybe I'll figure out when I can go to a dance class this week, too. :)
@lovingBanana5204
Well hello there! So lovely to see you again! Yes I absolutely DO remember you. :) …And thank you so very much for the kind words! <3
We are so glad to hear that you are doing alright and that you are getting back into the swing of things here at 7cups.
How great for you that you are creating some healthy goals for yourself both big and smaller. While also working on those healthy habits!... (And we wish you the best of luck on accomplishing those goals for yourself)! And I hope that you are able to get to that dance class! Please keep us updated on how things go with both the job as well as the class.
Again it’s been so great to see you back and remember that we are here to support you and your efforts however we can! Don’t hesitate to reach out.
Also thank you so much for stopping by to share with us this week. And please keep us updated on how things are continuing to go for you!
