I just don't feel hungry--and when I do eat I have to force myself but when I eat with other people I enjoy eating....probably just another adjustment I have to make! Meantime I will get more fresh veggies and fruit!
I know and am going to really put out an effort dear elston! I do snack on things like a spoonful of peanut butter but I know I am not doing very well so I did go out and buy some good healthy foods! I just have to make myself eat now. But today it is a nice Mexican lunch with friends so I know I will eat well there!
Friends are the best condiments that can perk up the appetite and make everything taste better. Enjoy your lunch.
Being a caregiver is wonderful
Slipping into becoming a raving codependent is not
Codependent no more
Please take care of yourself the way u took care of others
God is just
He cares just as much about you as he did them
Good morning elston and everyone else!
Ouch Huckleberry...harsh but true and the worst part is I know it. It's just getting myself to be my own caregiver! I know God cares---he has shown me that many times. I have made lots of forward moves but then I slip back sometimes. That last thing I want is to not take care of myself----wanting to and doing it is sometimes conflicting. But I am working very hard on that!
Work today.......Have a blessed day everyone!
Home from work. It was a good day. I stopped at taco bell and bought 2 tacos, nachos and a burrito! I know, probably not the healthiest but better then nothing! Got home to a message from my dear friend I met through Hospice. She said she is tired of being depressed and we are going to start doing things together--stop talking about it and do it. We have dinner tomorrow night planned at this great little organic restaurant. Then we are going to start slow and go on hikes locally first and hopefully advance to bigger and better things. I just hope we can follow through with it. Praying hard on this one!
Cyn.....sounds like a wonderful plan.....do it but dont fret about it or make it into a chore....its not a test of your worth...it is a positive plan. Thank God for this friend.
Thanks elston and shh....and I know elston..so often we make things into a job and it ruins the fun! Just getting out for me is so often a job so that attitude needs adjusting. I do thank God for this friend very much! I asked for a companion/friend and God heard me!
Rain today--we need it so I won't complain! Have a blessed day everyone!
