Going to Atlanta in the next few weeks so I’ll see her soon. We get a hotel room overlooking the airport and watch the planes come and go. Very soothing and yet fascinating at the same time; especially the jumbo jets coming in from overseas. We’ll do other stuff as well but are going primarily for that.
My life coach asked me to check in with her every day. She also asked me to do a few things including setting 5-10 year goals. That’s a daunting task for someone who is trying to make it day to day. I have 1 and 2 year goals but I’ll really have to think about the other. Still going good so far.
Warm wishes and hugs to all who are struggling.  |
Im really happy you will be seeing her soon.
Years ago I took my daughter and her friends to Warped tour in Atlanta and I stayed at a hotel right next to the airport, at first I thought it might get on my nerves but I also found it fascinating just watching the coming and going.
Oh long term goals ?????? I have tried to wrap my head around that too.
For me being on disability is so difficult to mentally accept. All my life I worked often 2-3 jobs at once. It’s not just Bipolar for me I have numerous chronic pain problems that are part of my inability to work.
My husband is also on disability for severe neuropathy in feet and legs and beginning on his fingers, emphysema and needs oxygen at night.
We have no savings to fall back on, our 401k was needed to keep us a float. The future really scares me.
But I have picked apart our budget time and time again, there’s just not enough to save more than maybe 50 a month. It’s very distressing.
I hope your able to come up with some workable ideas.
