I saw Canadian geese with babies.

Hard: Not hearing from my daughter

Thanks for sharing, Marie.  Do you reach out to your daughter on the channel that she prefers?  For example, my young adult son responds to a text message but rarely picks up the phone.  Hang in there!

• One small win I have had this week is finding a bag of Hershey's kiss in the refrigerator!
• One thing that's been harder than expected is losing the feeling of alienation at the church I attend.

I'm excited to spend time with dear friends on a Museum and Lunch outing later this week.

It's always so nice to have something to look forward to --- enjoy!

I learned in one of the videos about something called Social Anxiety Disorder... and how common it is that people have a "fear of rejection" - curious if anyone within this conversation experiences this and if you have tips to overcome it. ??

Excited about the challenge and it is coming at a good time... It has been difficult to maintain my friendships while caring for my 90 year old father and at the same time experiencing my only child (now high school graduate) leaving home.
