**AND ANY & ALL THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US~
❄️This past week was better than the previous. As an issue that I was dealing with went somewhat better, & a little easier to navigate & deal with as I moved throughout this past week.... I felt more in control of things this past week, & was able to get back on track with things little by little.~
⛄ It has remained very cold here the past week.... So last weekend was again spent indoors at home as I continued on with Self-care time, Home Workouts, & time spent with Loved ones over the Long, Holiday weekend here.... As the week itself started off, other than not getting in any outdoor time, I was able to get back on track with All my usual stuff (as some things got away from me since the holidays)... I feel that I'm finally in a better head-space since that time to continue forward better with "Personal goals".~
❄️This weekend ahead they are calling for "possible" major Winter weather (in which we don't typically get here often).. So in preparation for that, we got everything needed to spend another weekend indoors, off the roads, & relax & enjoy (even if we get Iced-in)?!.. Intentions are for some Home Workouts Sat/Sun to continue to Stay the course in my goals.... And I'll also have a Loved one's Birthday as well that we will gather together to celebrate in the next few days ahead~.
@PoliteOcean My fungus on my thighs is coming back. I really hate that. The bathroom is really uncomfortable. I started to use medicated pads on my feet to draw out my toxins and it's working out pretty well. I'm still struggling with a cold and post-nasal drip and I don't know how to get rid of it. This house is really unsanitary. Sunday I started to watch 4 movies but stopped after a short time because I didn't like them. Monday night I had really super sharp pinpoint pains in my legs and feet. It started last year but this was the worst it's ever been. I called the advice nurse at my clinic and make an appointment to see my PCP. That's not going to help. Tuesday I bought a Vanilla Matcha Latte (chilled) for the first time. I've been craving one for a long time. It was very smooth and not heavy like other smoothie. I went on 4 walks this week. I'm currently reading my commentary on Psalms, "Scarlet and Black" by Stendhal and "Lost Illusions" by Balzac. Thursday John forced me to listen to softcore gay pornographic podcast. I can't say anything about it. Thursday night I spent an hour writing an email to a woman who posted a profile on a web site looking for a pen pal. The rule of the web site is only the initial contact can be done by email. After that, contact has to be by correspondence. The problem with writing a letter is that I have to use the computer at the library which is awkward and difficult. The Holy Spirit wants me to reach out to people who are less fortunate than myself. The problem with that is it's not like I have a whole lot to offer. Friday I returned a book using the USPS but the vendor is only going to refund the cost of the book, not the shipping or sales tax. Ugh. For this upcoming week I have a massage on Monday. There is always some drama going on around here but I get tired of talking about it. Why can't people just be normal? Leslie and Sifa both suffer from psychological mis-perception. Ugh.
@Regmo
Hey Regmo~ That’s good that you feel that the medicated pads are working for you.. Sometimes post nasal drip can last long after an illness. There’s a lot of Over the counter or holistic approaches that can help with that... Between all the little things adding up to bigger things for you it’s great that you reached out to your PCP. That’s what they are there for. So hopefully for you they can prescribe something for all the ailments that can make a positive shift… It’s good that you were able to treat yourself to something you enjoyed this week.. Sounds like a good Self-care habit for you this month... And that you were also able to get your walks in. It Sounds like your weather has been better than most if you were able to get outdoors that often… It’s also good that you’re continuing to keep up with your hobbies & interests… As for your roommate, perhaps getting up and going to another part of the house or using a pair of headphones could be an option for you when they listen to something you don’t want to be apart of… As far as reaching out to people in need, that can be in many various forms. Small simple gestures like listening & being there for someone else can help others immensely. That’s also what 7cups is about. Helping those here is a good start in helping others in small ways.. It doesn’t have to be in a monetary way. Hopefully you’ll continued to be guided in the ways to help others. Thanks for sharing your week. Continue to keep us posted on how things are moving along~
@PoliteOcean
My week hasn't been too bad, thanks for asking. If I had to give a compliment, it would be to @Jenna for her patience, help and professionalism 💚🤗
Politeocean I hope your weekend is great 🥰

@PoliteOcean
Physically an easier week for me but it won't do me any harm. I've been too distracted and itching to make progress with a book, The Body Keeps The Score, highly recommended and helping me reflect on the effects that PTSD has had on my recent past and just reinforcing why therapy might be my best way forward.
@RunningMachine
Sorry to hear that distraction has gotten in the way of your progress during the week. Sometimes having a physically easier week is what we need, Especially if our bodies are signaling for one... I Will have to look further into the book you are referring to & read up more on what it’s about. It’s great that you feel it’s helping you to reflect on things for yourself. And that it’s reinforcing your perspective, decisions & choices in a healthy & positive way regarding Therapy. Therapy can be a great tool when you find the right person to connect with to help you through.
Thanks for checking in to share with us this week & please continue to keep us updated on hie things are going.
@PoliteOcean
An easier eek whilst I'm working nights won't do me any harm, it's going to be first week under 70K in over 6 months but I'm fine with it 😘

Hey all~ Welcome to the Weekend~... How have things gone for you this past week?! I finally got three interviews. I think one of them is going well. I have one more interview with them. I decided to stop applying for jobs this week.
❄️This is our "4th" Check-in for January~... With only one week remaining, We are close to the end of this First Chapter of the year... January can tend to be a "Low-Key" month for many with the colder days, Winter weather, less daylight, & less time outdoors.... WHAT are some small things or in What small ways have you been able to care for your wellbeing this month Mentally, Emotionally, or Physically?! I've worked hard looking for a job, homework and my portfolio for graduation. It has paid off.
⛄ January 24th is "NATIONAL COMPLIMENT DAY"!... It offers a wonderful way to brighten someone's day or to give credit for job well done!... A compliment is a powerful effect. It can instill confidence, validate yourself or someone else's hard work, and a compliment can improve a mood & brighten the day of the person receiving it As well as our Own Overall Wellbeing!....

⛄ What were your "Highlights or Struggles" of the week?... How were you able to work through your Challenges in a Healthy Way?! I listened to the word of God who told me "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” That is from Joshua 1:9
@purpleTree4652
Hey there Tree~
That’s wonderful news for you regarding the interviews! Wow, having 3 of them is fantastic. And that’s great that you feel one of them is going so well. Hopefully something pans out there and definitely keep us posted!
I’m sure you had quite a busy month in keeping up with everything between the job hunt, interviews, schooling & getting ready for graduation… Working hard towards your goals & the things you desire In life definitely pays off in the end…. And how lovely that you’ve given yourself a “Compliment” on a job well done there! 👍🏼👊🏼
Did you get any snow or ice your way during all this crazy weather that we’ve had around the U.S. this weekend?! I’m sure snuggling up with your Chloe made it worthwhile. 🐾
😮 I love that scripture. It’s one of my favorites. 🙏🏼.. Thank you for sharing it with us!
And thank you for also stopping by to check in & share with us this week. Please keep us updated on how everything goes for you!
Hey!
I recorded a song cover again and practiced singing and guitar. I am also on my way to join a new 'suitable' theatre team as a co-director. My skills in directing are not great but I'm willing to learn and I hope the accepts me.
@sunnyStrawberries4807
Awesome! 👏🏼 Congrats on all your accomplishments. Thank you for sharing with us. And let us know how things go 👊🏼👍🏼
Thank you. I joined a new theatre team and should start working from the next rehearsal, but I'm a bit stressed because I was working in a school theatre where the play's content is more controlled and has fewer mature themes. The new team has higher mature themes which makes me afraid.
@sunnyStrawberries4807
No link ?? Well done, maybe i should dig my amp and bass out of the wardrobe, no mic though as my singing is dire 😉
No worries my voice is not great in general :D Thank you :)
