I felt good today and took it just one day at a time as Singer47 suggested. I also focused on each task as if it were the only thing I had to do. I completed a good bit of my to do list and will be able to spend this last weekend with my daughter without thinking of everything that must be done.

We’re having a going away meal for her Saturday and then going to the market Sunday for flowers, honey and fruit. Aside from that we will do what she chooses so I’ll leave my schedule free.

Warm wishes to all for a peaceful weekend.

I'm looking for a motivational friend but only people who are close enough match; spiritual but scientific open-minded people. See my profile.

It's strange. You'd think there would be plenty of places to find motivational friends, but where are they.

I started work in my kitchen this morning. I also cleaned litter boxes, put groceries away and emptied the trash. I'll do a little more work in the kitchen later today and then I'll relax. Oh yea, I also did some art challenges. That was fun. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Yesterday was not one of the best days. To have diabetes can sometimes be a really struggle. When I by, some reasons, don't eat regularly, blood glucose can become very low. So it happened yesterday. I had to rest for hours because of it and it took me a while to be able to visit the grocery shop. So I did that and forced myself to do the two Mindfulness exercises for the day.

To be depressed is often to be low in appetite ....

Today (Sunday) my only goals are church and empty the dishwasher + two mindfulness exercises and heat the dinner I bought yesterday.

Be well all!

I've been doing more work on my kitchen. I also cleaned litter boxes and again picked up in the living room . Later I hope to sweep and open packages. Wishing everyone well on this wonderful Sunday morning!

I have to start preparing for my vacation. Tomorrow I will go and get the right papers for my medications to bring across borders. I will also have my hair cut. After that I have to empty the dishwasher and load it again. When that is done I will decide what I will do for the rest of the day ... (Perhaps vacuuming and call for help with a curtain).

Good wishes to all!

Not feeling very motivated today. I tried to quit vaping and I didn't do very well. So I'm trying to cut back now. I'm not sure I will do any housework today. I may just focus on my art. I need a break. Hope everyone is doing well today!

Sorry to hear that, Deilla! If it is nicotine in them, may be you will succeed better if you use chewing gum instead. I have never used e-cigarettes, but when I quit smoking ordinary cigarettes, I first started to use nicotine-gum with the same amount of nicotine as one cigarette. I used the gum at the same times as I usually smoked. That was the first step. Next, I used nicotine gum for one year. The last months cutting of pieces of the nicotine gum and replaced it with ordinary gum. At the end I only used ordinary gum and then a slow process to get rid of the habit of chewing ordinary gum. I have been free of nicotine for years.

If you wap without nicotine, it may perhaps slowly replace one and one e-cigarette with a ordinary straw. The psychological effect will be that you can use the same movements without vaping. To have a cup with something good to use the straw in might perhaps help as well. (Take care of your need for insulin). Let the time go and slowly shift from vaping to more and more straws.

Whatever way you chose, my thoughts are with you!

I became sick yesterday, vomited at night. Woke up with pain all over my body. I haven't been able to do anything so far this day. I have taken painkillers twice and at last they seem to work. But I am very tired. I think I will skip the Mindful exercises today (may be before bedtime, but I doubt it). What I will force myself to do is to empty the dishwasher and reload it! Some friends are coming over tomorrow morning to hang up a curtain for me, so I have to get rid of all the mess.

I hope to get the papers regarding my medication tomorrow and if I am well enough to get my hair done. (Why did this happen before my vacation? Well, there is only one thing to do and that is to go on one step at the time until I sit at the plain in some days. I will bring my PC and hope to look into the thread now and then when I go. Will be here still for some days).

Be well all!

I had a session with my life coach today. I’ve also had a lovely time with my daughter the past three days having adventures and storing up memories. We just got through going to a huge sunflower field and picking as many sunflowers as we could get in a bucket. Really beautiful. For the rest of the day I intend to

1. Straighten the den
2. Work on limiting beliefs with Byron Katie
3. Prepare for a busy day tomorrow.

Warm wishes to all.

Today I went to work, got groceries, and put out the garbage.

Tomorrow I really need to shower and brush my teeth. I'm getting really lazy about personal hygiene.

I feel better today. I decided to stay inside today because of my tiredness and sickness yesterday. I have had visitors and my curtain is hung up. I have eaten well and filled my pillbox. I have done one of the mindful exercises today and are going to do the next after I am finished writing this. After that I will "order" new medication prescriptions ready for me to fetch when I will come back from vacation.

Some of my plans for tomorrow (Wednesday):

- After breakfast I will shower.
- Write a list for shopping
- Get the papers I need to bring my medications over borders*
- Get my hair done*
- Buy travel insurance
- Visit grocery shop (+sunscreen)
- Home and put the washing machine to work
- Decide what cloth I will bring for vacation

* I know I have put these goals up before, but since they are not done yet, I have to put them up again.

Be well all!

I did not make plans for today but got the following things accomplished: showered, washed clothes, got a spa pedicure, went by church to get tickets and stopped by a farmers market for fresh produce.

Tonight I will go to the pool to help my mom work on her balance, clean out the fridge and straighten the den.

Warm wishes to all.

I managed to take the trash out this morning. Later I want to open packages, clean litter boxes and play piano. Yesterday was difficult but today is better so far. I need to do my gratitude list. Wishing the best for everyone today!

My daughter just left and after the initial waterworks I feel ok. I think I will keep busy today so as not to dwell on it. My plans for today are:

1. Go to a movie
2. Sell books
3. Grocery shop

Warm wishes to all.

I'm a bit tired. I did seven illustrations today. It was fun. And a lot of work. I also cleaned litter boxes, opened packages and mopped the kitchen floor. I think I will maybe go to bed early. Hope everyone is well today!

I decided to deep clean the den so I’ve been involved in that all day aside from grocery shopping and floating in the pool. I’m going to start my Law of Attraction course tonight and do some visualization exercises.

Tomorrow, I plan to float and continue the den and maybe start deep cleaning the kitchen. I’ll also work some more on my course.

Warm wishes to all.

I hope you enjoy your course. I really love reading up on law of attraction and watching videos. I've taken one course and enjoyed that. It's been very helpful to me.

I did some more art work, cleaned litter boxes and did a few light chores. Today I plan to take a shower then relax. I'm not in the mood for any major housework. I might play some games. Hope everyone is well!

I played piano and did some doodling. I also gave my cat her medicine. That took a few attempts. Today I want to take out the trash and open packages. Then I'll relax, though I feel pretty good right now. I used some of my CBD Oil this morning. I was so stressed. It really did help.
