You are doing awesome, SadHub. Up and at 'em every morning - that's a pretty high bar sometimes, as we both well know.
Thank you so much for checking in on me and for all of your encouragement. It really means a lot to me. I'm having a pencil smile practice as I am typing! Makes me laugh.
I have to admit that I have been a total slacker for the last 2 days on the meditation challenge. In my crash mode, I just forgot about it. Tomorrow I'll be better. My therapist isn't going to be pleased - I'm slacking on the meditation AND on my positive behavior journal. Oops. I may have to do some retroactive journaling. I've been doing things, but not writing them down, and then I forget what I've done. Like I said before - if I don't write it down, it may or may not have actually happened. So scattered these days. The BAN group assures me it's totally normal. I guess that's a small consolation.
I'm sorry that you're not feeling well for the weekend. Doctor Phoebe is prescribing rest, plenty of time with your children, and some nice ginger ale for good measure. I associate ginger ale with being loved and cared for when I'm sick because my Mom always gave it to me. I stock it in my pantry in case someone gets sick on my watch. A few weeks ago, I was able to give some to my Mom when SHE was sick. It was nice to return the favor after all these years.
I hope that you have a good day tomorrow with your girls, and that you're feeling better PDQ. I'm also sending positive thoughts your Mom's way as she begins her treatment.
Sleep well, SadHub!
