**AND ANY & ALL THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US~
🌞 This past week was well & standard... Last weekend I started off Saturday by clearing my mind from the stressors of the previous week by getting in my early morning Zumba class, moving my body, & working towards my daily Step-goal... Then afterwards & onwards to enjoy some family time, & a few of the Pre-fall Season Festivals & events going on here.... Sunday early on, I got in my 2nd weekend Zumba class to finish up my weekend goals, and then simply enjoyed the remainder of the day relaxing, While preparing for the week... This month is wrapping up with a little over a week away left in it, & I'm seemingly doing much better with my Personal goals & intentions for September. I'm feeling back on track from the Summer months & all of my Summer "Happenings", & have been Much more focused with a few things than I had been during the Summer.~
🌻 As the week started off, I was still caught up in some negative feelings & emotions of the previous week... But, I got back on track with my "weekly" usuals, tasks, goals, & Appointments.... I also kept up with working on "Self-Improvement".... I feel that I'm doing better in my "focused areas" of improvement.... However, I still have some work to do for sure... But Sleep goals, Hydration goals, meal-tracking, & Activity were all "On point"! .. Typically one of those things might be off, but, somehow even without "overly" trying, it all came together....~
🌞 This weekend ahead, intentions are to of course get in that morning activity to start off the day with a weekend Zumba class... And again, there are a plethora of Events & Festivals to choose from as we wrap up the Summer weekend with a little fun.... I'm looking forwards to the many vendors, different items & activities, plethora of food options, & of course ALL OF the STEPS to help continue to meet my weekend Step goals!~... Sunday, finish off with an early Fitness class, some errands & family time after, & then prepare for the week ahead itself, as I reluctantly bid summer a farewell & prepare for the new week (& season) ahead~
HAPPY WEEKEND~
@PoliteOcean Here's how the past week went. Monday I had a telephone therapy appointment with Jim. There were several long awkward pauses because I had to sit on the front porch and there was a lot of traffic noise from the next street over. Talk therapy isn't what I need but it's the only kind of therapy available for me right now. I cancelled my transportation for the blood test because there is no way I'm going to take a Lyft. Going back a week ago to last Saturday, I way overstrained my eyes. I slowed down on the reading until Thursday. I contacted my agency and asked them to send me a new list of potential caretakers. Leslie and her family suck the life out of me because they are so toxic. I'm faithful to read my commentary on Isaiah but my prayer life is non-existent because there are people wherever I go. I'm reading my philosophy book on Neoplatonism which has had a huge impact on Western Civilization and Christianity. I bought a 15 oz ceramic coffee mug so I can decrease on my trips to the kitchen. I hate going to the kitchen 4-5 times a day to get my instant coffee because it's a psychological obstacle course. I have to listen to little girls crying/arguing almost every day. I have someone coming over for an interview on Monday. She can only work on Mondays and Tuesdays but my agency will let me hire two caretakers at the same time as long as I don't exceed the maximum number of hours. I have a doctor's appointment on October 2nd so I hope I don't have to skip it. Leslie is going to be gone all week because she is in New Zealand visiting her mother. That means it's going to be easier to interview people. Leslie is a very selfish and evil person. I don't know how God expects me to deal with so much toxicity. I'm going to try to start college level art history courses next September.
@Regmo
Hey Regmo, Yeah I can imagine that sitting on the porch while trying to do talk therapy wouldn’t be the greatest of environments to do so. What type of therapy do you feel would benefit you the best? .. I can understand you deciding to cancel the Lyft transport to your testing based on your concerns on your previous check-in… It Sounds like slowing down & taking a rest on reading was best if you felt that your eyes were overstrained… But it’s good that you are keeping up with what you feel are important reads like your commentary…. Hopefully you will soon find a chance to get back into your prayer life somehow just as well. I personally understand how important that can be for us mentally, emotionally & spiritually…. It’s also good that you were able to improvise, and figure out a better situation that will work for you in being able to alleviate frequent trips to the kitchen.. It’s also a positive that your agency was able to send you a list of potential caretakers & that you have someone coming over for an interview already. That was fairly quick. And hopefully you’ll find the interview process to workout in your favor. As well your intentions to start a new course next September, as it Sounds like it would be a good focus for you & give you more purpose in your time while being there in that household environment. Thanks for checking in to share your week… Continue to keep us updated on how things are going.~

🌞 Hey all~ Welcome to the Weekend~ On a scale from 1-10, How was your week?...
it was so so, i think a solid five perhaps, some tention with family.
🌾 This is our "3rd" Check-in for the Month ... (And for many of us, it's also the Last Official Weekend of Summertime) as we get ready to transition into the "Fall Season" next week~ ... What did you personally enjoy the "MOST" about the Summer months?... What are your plans (or What could you plan), this weekend ahead to end the season off in a fun way?!....
yes! it is the last weekend of summer for me as well. i mostly enjoyed the more free time i had over the summer. i dont really have plans for this weekend, but i do want to do a lot of fall activities!
🌻 In this past month of September, we have celebrated "Both" SELF IMPROVEMENT MONTH & NATIONAL POSITIVE THINKING DAY!... As we begin to end this month, In what ways do you feel that you've made Positive Changes or Strides in "BOTH" of these areas, that will benefit you in Healthier ways going forwards?!
i'm learning to trust myself more, and to make room for my emotions.
🌞 JUST FOR FUN: If you could plan the "Perfect" Last Day of Summer, Name THREE things that your Day would include?!... (I'll start: Family, The Ocean, Good Food)~
camping, friends, songs
🌾 What were your "Highlights or Struggles" of the week?... How were you able to work through your Challenges in a Healthy Way?!
im learning to be mindful and not stress over future events that hasn't happened
🌻 What is something else that "YOU" want to Talk about, Add, Or Share with us this week?!... WE want to hear from YOU~
nothing much! just hoping some drama would stop, and i feel a bit more at peace regarding my family and my upcoming internship :)
@daydreammemories
Hey there 👋🏼
Sounds like a 5 is right in the middle & pretty neutral… I can understands family tensions. It can be complicated for sure.
Ahh… Sounds like you enjoyed your summer & being “free”~ (As the summer months can generally make us feel that way)!… And it also sounds like you are ready for the Fall season ahead and plenty of activities?! What types of Fall activities are you looking forward to most?!
Great insight! How awesome for you that you are giving yourself more trust. And allowing the room for your emotions. Sounds like a lot of good “mindfulness” there?! Which is wonderful for your wellbeing. Great job to you on working on healthier options for yourself that will help to benefit you both mentally & emotionally. And in learning not to stress. Keep up the great work. 👍🏼
Sounds like you are an “out-doorsy” type person who would benefit from camping, friends, & songs. Great choice for your perfect day! What types of songs would you play or listen to?!
Ahh… You’re speaking my language! I’m not about any “drama” either. In family, friendships or otherwise! So I can relate to where you are coming from. It can certainly be toxic. Hopefully you will find your peace & calm within! And continue freely in your internship! Good luck!
And thanks for checking in to share with us this week! Please continue to keep us updated on how things are going!
@PoliteOcean
yeah, its pretty neutral, i think so too. i do! i love autumn sooo much! i love walking in the rain, enjoy reading a book, doing my self care routine, watch harry potter or some shows! sweaters, umbrellas!
haha, im not really much of an outdoorsy person actually, but since i usually spend most of them indoors, i wanted my one chance to be a different experience than usual😁
thank you for all the kind words, i don't like drama either. it's energy consuming and draining
thanks for the check in and response 💚💚
@PoliteOcean
🌞 It was a 5
🌾 For the summer I enjoyed going kayaking for my first time, going to the beach and visiting some farm animals. I think I’m going to bake something delicious with apples 🤗
🌻 I definitely took the time to listen to my body and its needs. Found myself a new job that I hope is better fitting and less wear and tear on me. I’ve taken the time to take care of “little peach”, allowing my self to have a small reward for Jobs well done. I have found new hobbies: exploring outside, journaling, mindfulness. I still struggle with being too harsh with myself. I recently made a decision to quit a job and placed myself in a “failure” “loser” category. Still working on thought stopping and gentler with the self talk.
🌞 JUST FOR FUN: Definitely good food along with a day of Laughter family/friends and Just being silly.
🌾 The job changes occurred this week. While I was hopeful, I also felt like I was letting myself and others down. I did self care this week that I don’t know the last time I ever did. I accomplished large household tasks and I hope it’s a good step moving forward in to my new chapter. 🍂
@peachThinker662
Hey there 👋🏼~
Ohhh.. Kayaking looks (& sounds) like so much fun! I would love to do that some time. It sounds like you had a pretty enjoyable summer!... (Btw I love apples! Apple dishes are definitely delicious)! A good apple pie would be amazing?! Let us know what you decided on!
Great job to you on taking the time you needed to listen to your body. And how awesome for you that you found a new job for yourself. Congrats! .., Despite some of your struggles it seems that you are doing amazing things for yourself & your overall wellbeing! While also continuing to work on small goals & steps through working on your thoughts & being gentler with yourself. Keep up the great work!
”Your perfect day” sounds like a lot of fun enjoying the simple things! I think we are “twinning” on that one. 👯♂️ 😉
Great job to you on working on self care in the midst of your struggles. That’s so important to take care of ourselves and our simpler basic needs physically, mentally & emotionally. And I think that as long as we take care of ourselves & the smaller things day by day, that it will certainly add up to bigger steps along the way going forward. And inevitably helping us to achieve & accomplish all that we set out to do. I think your “next chapter” will be wonderful! Keep up the great work.
Thank you for checking in to share your week with us. Please continue to keep us updated on how you’re doing & how things are going with your new job!

@PoliteOcean
Hi, Ocean and everyone,
I've missed you all!
I am so sad that it is the beginning of fall. I think it's my least favorite time of year. I do like Halloween, but that's it.
On a scale from 1-10, How was your week?...I'm in graduate school so it is a grind. I guess a 5.
🌾 This is our "3rd" Check-in for the Month ... (And for many of us, it's also the Last Official Weekend of Summertime) as we get ready to transition into the "Fall Season" next week~ ... What did you personally enjoy the "MOST" about the Summer months?... What are your plans (or What could you plan), this weekend ahead to end the season off in a fun way?!....I love the summer. It's my favorite time of year. I love the weather, the light so late, the birds, the crickets, the tans, the fashion.
🌻 In this past month of September, we have celebrated "Both" SELF IMPROVEMENT MONTH & NATIONAL POSITIVE THINKING DAY!... As we begin to end this month, In what ways do you feel that you've made Positive Changes or Strides in "BOTH" of these areas, that will benefit you in Healthier ways going forwards?! Gosh, I stopped doing so much. I mean that I was going to volunteer since I don't have a job but I decided not to. I decided to focus on what I needed to do, which was look for a paying job. Then school started in August, so I am focusing on what I need to focus on.
🌞 JUST FOR FUN: If you could plan the "Perfect" Last Day of Summer, Name THREE things that your Day would include?!... (I'll start: Family, The Ocean, Good Food)~ I like your choices so I'll almost repeat. Friends, the ocean, and good food
🌾 What were your "Highlights or Struggles" of the week?... How were you able to work through your Challenges in a Healthy Way?! I walked up steps today! My knee felt so much better, and my broken toes are healing. One of them was pretty bashed up so it's taking longer. But going up the steps was the highlight of my week.
@purpleTree4652
Hey Tree! 👋🏼
It’s good to see you this week.. It’s been awhile~
I do like Fall, (I suppose it’s not as bad being in the South).., but it’s just knowing what’s still ahead with the Cold Winter Season…. But I’m with you, Summer is also my absolute favorite & I love all of the same things you’ve mentioned. And will surely miss it for now~
Seems like the #5 has been the “Consensus” for this week?! But I’m sure you’ve been quite busy. So it’s understandable that you’re feeling “right in the middle” of things.~
That’s good that you came to a resolution for yourself in that you decided what would work best for you by not volunteering for now. While focusing on what you felt you actually needed more.
And That’s great for you that your knee & toes are feeling better. I know how you were having a bit of trouble with it at your last check-in.. So I totally understand how it’s the simple things that can mean so much in our day. Especially being able to move our bodies better after an injury or pain! So I can understand your excitement & what a highlight that must’ve been for you!
It sounds like you are doing pretty well overall & it’s great to have you checking in this week to let us know how things have been going. And Please continue to keep us updated Tree on how you’re doing!
