♻️  How are you guys doing?  🤔

*** REMINDER: Be the best you can and NEVER let anyone make you FEEL bad about yourself. AARP created this Grief & Loss Forum for us ALL. I have learn't to ACCEPT folks for who they are. Lol, some I NOW avoid. You are ALWAYS luved by me = keep stopping by to chat with me = makes my day EXTRA SPECIAL  💃💃💃  ***

Well, it is that time again = Weekly Out Of Food Run to Walmart. I hope to see Dalinda.  🙃

Didnot win amything on the ONE $1 Scratchoff Ticket I bought last week. For some reason I am guessing there is an "issue" with the Walmart Lottery Machine. Several ERROR SLOTS. Oh well, some weeks the machine is off. Lol, still SMILING from my 1st ever $100 win. Usually win a free ticket or $1/$5/$20. My Weekly splurge.  👍

Had to call my Mechanic YESTERDAY. The inside door lock on Driver's Side decided to crack.  😱😱😱

GRATEFUL door still works.

Had this happen when I was a youngster and could CRAWL in from passenger side.

TOO OLD to do that at age 66 this year.  🙄🙄🙄

So I get to go see my Mechanic at 8am NEXT WEDNESDAY. Lol, forgot to ask price but they ALWAYS work with me. He (son, family owned) said to open window when getting out of car and open door from outside to PREVENT more damage to lock. And you already KNOW I will forget, so I TAPED area yesterday so I remember. Hey, us OLD folks have to improvise.

Rainy day, so it is my Rain Shoes TODAY = those OLD sneakers you do not care IF they get wet.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY.

Luv you,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

Hey my friend Allen @Therapist4u , I went ahead and removed my comments and kudos from another member's discussion here in the Grief & Loss Forum. You have done nothing wrong at all and your very kind comments touched my insides. You are ALWAYS WELCOME to join any of my discussions. I am heading offline for a bit and see you are online. Didnot want to think I am ignoring you. Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[Therapist4u]

OK THANKS NICOLE....

How are you guys doing?  🤔

43 degrees, 75 at 6pm here in Cave Spring, Virginia.  💃💃💃

About 6:30am for me. Just got up to open my one window in my Cute Studio Apartment to let in Nature.

NO coffee until AFTER my trip this morning to pick up my Blood Pressure Refill at CVS. Lol, no need to have to use a public restroom [coffee goes thru me]  🤮.

Everyone FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY.

(2 comments) Marcy @MarcyW882921 , I have learn't to be careful with wishing folks Happy Mother's Day when I am NOT sure IF they are one. Now IF my VERY OLD BRAIN "remembers"  🙄🙄🙄  I seem to remember you mentioning Stepkids. So HATS OFF TO YOU MOM and hope you were able to spend some time with them.

Luv you Ms. Zumba, Ms. Chorus & Ms. Tennis.

You did great remembering Nicole @SpringIsSoHappy ! I did not get to spend time with either of them, but I did my housecleaning, went to a park to enjoy walking and nature, and ordered takeout to enjoy a quiet dinner at home.😊

52 degrees here in Cave Springs, Virginia at about 9:15am ET. 66 at 3pm.  💃💃💃

How are you guys doing?  🤔

HOPE everyone slept well, I did in between waking up from dreams I cannot remember now. But PEACEFUL ones as I was NOT sad or crying each time I woke up. 💃💃💃

Well, pipe in wall still leaks but my Utility Floor is COMPLETELY DRY after YEARS of having to buy Absorbent Material to prevent Studio Apartment from flooding. Yes, previous Slum Landlord. The pipe brings the water from example sinks upstairs down to drain outside. Anyway, NOW I can spend nights AWAY from here and maybe do some sightseeing. See, LIFE HAS A WAY OF HELPING YOU OUT IN YOUR DARKEST MOMENTS.  💃💃💃

Anyway, enough about ME = you ALL know I talk alot.  🙄🙄🙄

FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY and drop by when you can.

Luv you,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

I hope you get to see your daughter often. It's good we have internet to keep up with everyone these days. Sometimes I get confused with the dates on posts on the forum. So not sure if I've posted on another post. I gotta go slow these days. My brain gets to places before my feet  lol  I guess that's the way it goes. If we go slow we'll be okay. ***]

[SpringIsHereSoHappy]

♻️  SO GOOD to hear from you Ms. Idaho @Cadee2719   💃💃💃

And thank you SO MUCH, as a Mom YOU UNDERSTAND!!!

YOUR Son is in my thoughts for a new job and I know he will find one SOON.  👍👍👍

Well, the GOOD NEWS is the floor in my Utility Room is NOW DRY and I let the NICE new Property Manager know. I can live with the HOLE IN THE WALL as he has his hands full from previous guy NOT fixing stuff. Really critical stuff!!!

SO GRATEFUL for this new guy. Really cares.

I AM SMILING.

Why???

Because I remember your 1st post here and today's post.

Cadee, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU and you just ADDED something VERY SPECIAL to my day.

Luv you,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

  Good morning, Nicole.  Sorry to hear about the problems with your place.  Funny, my son has applied for a new job here and tells me very little.  What is it with these guys?  I, too, try not to ask too many questions, yet he wants to know everything about what I am doing??????  Crazy  I am focusing on unpacking and accomplishing all that needs to be done.  Got my drivers license here, now I have to go and get a new license plate for my car.  Met the previous owner of my home this morning, very sweet.  She brought by some things she took by mistake.  Once I  unpack the other half of my garage, I should be settled.  😂  It keeps me busy.  I have been working so hard and so long that I decided I AM DOING NOTHING TODAY!!!!!!  It is just one of those days.  I keep your daughter in my nightly prayers and KNOW she will get a job that she will love soon.  I also hope that you find a place to live that you will fee "at home" in.  Hang in there.  ❤️  It seems as if we are always dealing with something doesn't it? ***]

Nearly 7am ET for me, still in bed (thinking of coffee) and 64 degrees here in Cave Spring, Virginia. A high of 70 at 3pm and NO RAIN!!!  💃💃💃

Well, my last day of the week of Retirement Peace as folks will be off from work and home celebrating their TGIF and the weekend.

Hi Nicole!

It has been said that this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt... suggests that those who "have a clear idea of what they want to achieve and a strong belief in their ability to make it happen are the ones who will be most successful in creating the future they desire....& it encapsulates the essence of hope, determination, and the transformative power of dreams.”

Anyway...as always... Take care

I think you had better grab that cup of coffee before people start returning home from work. You might need that little jolt of preparation!

Here's something to think about in response to your worry...

Think of ways to use your energy to benefit yourself and others. You've got this!

Monday Monday. I played tennis a half hour earlier today because of scheduling and initially I wasn't quite awake. I also made it to water aerobics so I could catch up with a friend I hadn't seen for awhile. The outside temperature was great, but the pool was cool! 🥶 Tonight is my chorus' Friends & Family night so I have to get myself together for that performance. I'm grateful for a beautiful day of life and activity.

Wishing you a peaceful and satisfying day!
