I was looking for an image that represented our daily CheckIn

I am currently sitting in my useless car waiting for my step dad to come jump it so I can spend money I don't have on a new battery. 🙃
I did write to two of the girls I sponsor while I've been out here waiting though. He should be here soon 🤞🏻
My battery was old and dead. It's been replaced now with a brand new one with a 5yr warranty so yayyy, my baby works again!! 😁
@BeeLeigh
Whoop whoop!
You see, what felt so depressing an hour ago has now turned around, and you've managed to catch up with two of the girls you sponsor. What a result!
What's the sponsorship by the way? Is it with schooling or something like that?
@DeborahUK
I sponsor them through Compassion International. It's $38/month and it covers their health and dental, schooling, programs at their childcare centers, and helps with clothes for them, and food and supplies for the family. I love it! I have three girls I sponsor. The one in Haiti is 12, the one in Burkina Faso is 10, and the one here in the States is 8 😊
@BeeLeigh
Wow! That sounds like money well spent. And great that it gives you such pleasure, as well as giving such great support for them.
The world truly is a better place for having you in it 😀
@DeborahUK
Aww, thank you 😏
I've been banished to forums for many months now in the midst of a year-long ban due to poor behavior on my part.
It was very discouraging at first but I've adjust mostly to this new form of communication.
One thing that does concern me is my seeming inability to even sit it on a guided discussion. Maybe I'm jumping the gun and will have to wait until there is actually a mindfulness session and see if I can access it then. Right now that room doesn't even show for me so I'm not sure if it will then.
I just thought I might be in a frame of mind where I could give it a go again (in preparation for my pending emdr try).
Maybe I need to look at why it is I make things difficult. But my animosities, suspicions and paranoia won't let me fill out another request to the computer people or powers that be.
@themainjane
yet again found a solution for myself. Just searched around and found a mindfulness meditation to listen to and give it a try.
on the one hand I'm proud of myself for sticking to it and just doing it and on the other hand I feel very isolated.
you'd think that reading other's isolation and trials would make me think of something - progress or a connection, similarities. Instead it seems I see only my own need. I also sense there are things that I lack. I'm sure spending the majority of my time stuck alone indoors isn't healthy but I can't seem to pry myself from this shell.
@themainjane Have you tried the Insight app? Thousands of free guided meditations. https://insighttimer.com/meditation-app
@melliotm
Thanks for this. No, I've never heard of it. Will have to check it out.
@melliotm
Thanks for making it so easy to find. Copy/paste is my friend. 🙂
@themainjane
That must be very hard for you if you're struggling to leave your house. Is it from feeling unsafe outside, or more a lack of motivation to address any task?
As regards the mindfulness room, I have a vague recollection of reading it was closing, and would only open when there was a guided support session running. So seems you're maybe not banned after all? Or if you are, then so must I be, as I can't find it either! Well done on finding a solution to it anyway, with the mindfulness meditation you found. I hope it has the desired effect.
Good morning! Just finishing up my daily rounds before I head out to the nursing home. Whew. I figured out a while ago how to make iced espresso using espresso powder. Best kick in the face ever. Hope your days are going well, everyone!
