good to know! Thanks Carole!
Hi B,
hope you are doing ok. My mother hen instinct is clucking all over the place. Were you able to feel a little better with your time off? I think you are one of the funniest people i’ve ever "met", lively and kind. People who make judgements against those that are not picture perfect on the outside have their own issues, nuff said. Change the tape B! You ARE beautiful. Your diabetes is a challenge, but you are right, one day at a time, you will find your balance. Hope to see an update real soon.
xo LauraHi Bettie,
I’m so happy that you all had a great get together this weekend. Wish I could have been there too! Next one maybe! I’m watching that comeback! You can do it Bettie! xo take careHi Nelly and welcome to the site 🙂 It will feel good to get your Easter shopping done instead of being broke! I like Carole’s suggestion about coming up with some different things you can do. A new hobby perhaps. Do you every get the opportunity to get out by yourself? Walking can be a great way to boost your ****. Keep your money tied up it can be tempting if you have a balance sitting around. Stay strong Nelly.
LauraHi Jim,
I would think in some ways the destination of recovery for each of us can be different. For me the destination of recovery is learning to appreciate each day for the blessings that it does contain. Learning how to actually live in the moment, with awareness, instead of letting my mind wonder about thinking of the past which cannot be changed or the future which cannot be predicted or forecast. I love this quote.
There are two ways to live: You can live as if nothing is a miracle; or, you can live as if everything is a miracle.
Albert Einstein
I believe in miracles. Recovery took me there. But to each our own destination! Sharing the common one of being gamble-free has been a blessing.
Have a great day Jim.
LaurieMorning B,
funny how doctors don’t seem to think arms are important until they need them! Long weekend coming! Do you have to work Saturday on the Easter weekend? I can’t wait, good chance to try and catch up with so many things i’m working on. Talk soon!
Laura xoHey Vera,
hope you are surviving your return to work! I still don’t know how you folks handle those long shifts. Even before my injury they’d be scraping me off the floor after the first day. Stay strong Vera, you can do this! Think of how you’d like to be able to retire someday. Don’t want to be the only 100 year old working on the ward! Take care Vera, thinking of you this morning.
Luv Laurarest for the day Bettie. You’ve been through a lot! Glad those recliners are ordered! And seems you are feeling a bit better about yourself. Don’t let others drag you down. No one is in your shoes! Take care B! I’m off to work shortly.
luv Laura^ I think balance is the key word. I try to remember that being a rounded person and not obsessing or focusing on one or two things to the harm of everything else. I try and remember to be thankful for all the good in my life, appreciate the bad for the learning opportunity that it is, and work on filling my life with the important things like friendships and time spent with family.

LauraHi Bettie,
so sorry i missed you yesterday. Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. Hope this morning you are feeling even better. I’ve been up early, now its time for breakfast and a walk maybe. Take care of yourself B. Will try and call later. xo LauraHi Bettie,
I’ve been struggling with energy and pain levels this week. Work gets the best of me and everything else gets the rest of me. Which sometimes isn’t too much! I’m concerned about you Bettie. I hope you are feeling a bit better now with the medication changes. You are dealing with a lot B, bit of a balancing act to say the least. But you can do it. Just keep making the next right choice. I’ll look for you in the morning if I’m back up in time! Have a good day if i miss you. Luv LauraHi B,
I hope you slept like a baby. Monday always comes to early for me. But I’m off for this one. And holy hannah! you are turning the big 200 it looks like to me. Who will be the first poster to turn you 200. You don’t look a day over 3? Take all the good where you can get it B, soak it up, you deserve it. Happy birthday to a lady who is one in a million 🙂
luv Laurawell dang Bettie I missed you again. Not in a posting mood at the moment. Cully, good to see your name. Wish i could come too but have plans for that weekend that i couldn’t break. Next one!
