Just For Today - You tackled a "chore" you have been putting off.

 

So many times we may feel "overwhelmed" with OUR GRIEF = hard to get those chores done each day/night.

 

Hey, you DID ONE JUST NOW!!!

Just For Today - take some time to reflect on how far YOU have come.

 

Hey, YOU picked up the pieces.

 

You did what was needed.

 

And NOW it is time to BREATHE.

 

The HARD part is over.

 

NOW to figure out the NEXT stage of your journey without your luv one.

 

YOU GOT THIS my friend.  โ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ€Œ๐Ÿ‘โ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ€Œโ€Œ

โ™ป๏ธ  Just For Today: Look UP at the sky & KNOW that YOUR luv one is looking down at YOU. โ€Œ๐Ÿ’›โ€Œ

 

Has zero to do with religion or no religion.

 

It has to do with THEM SEEING YOU - LUVING YOU & looking forward to the time you join them.

 

Some of us believe the STARS at night are there to REMIND us of this.

 

Pick YOUR reminder. You got this my friend!!!

Initially, I was too overwhelmed to see the signs and reminders. In time, I began looking for them and found they were there all along. Now I see them regularly and find them comforting and reassuring.

Me too Marcy @MarcyW882921 !!! For example this morning was a VERY HEAVY beginning to my day [dealing with possible kidney issues like my mother, now deceased]. Lol, I was good so far. And get this, I see my Medicare Doctor in 5 days. I NEEDED a "reminder" of this & got it. Yes, my usual "wind" in the trees outside the one window in my Studio Apt. NOW I AM READY to go deal with Walmart's Customer Service VERY LONG LINE.  ๐Ÿ‘

 

As usual, your visits ADD so much to my day/night. Thank you!!!  ๐Ÿ’›

Nicole  ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—  (Grief Forum)

Nicole @SpringIsHereVA,

I'm sorry to hear about your potential kidney issues. It's great that you got your reminder and will be following up with your doctor. It's all part of knowing our family history and taking care of ourselves. Hopefully, your Walmart Customer Service adventure went well.

โ€Œโ€ŒA Suggestion!!!

 

On those days when YOU ARE FEELING ISOLATED, take a walk in the nearest mall in your area. You will be pleasantly surprised when STRANGERS "smile" at you. Some may even "chat" with you.

 

It works for me here in Virginia as a retiree with NO family here.

 

TIP: Just be OPEN = say hello and smile.  โ€Œ๐Ÿ’›โ€Œ

Nicole @SpringIsHereVA ,

 

Good idea. It gets you out of the house and among people. You can choose how much or how little you want to interact with others, but there are opportunities available.

Just For Today dawn has broken, the sun has risen and you have gotten out of bed. Whatever it is that you have done today, acknowledge your accomplishment with something (positive self-talk, a pat on the back, a hug).

Nicole @SpringIsHereVA ,

Just wrap your right hand over your left shoulder and your left hand under your left should or vise versa and that is your self hug! Be sure to give yourself a squeeze when your hands are in place.๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿค—

Usually I DO NOT do this, but I paid a $3 bill at Dollar Tree for the lady IN FRONT of me at the DOLLAR TREE register.

 

Her card was NOT working.

 

I asked how much BEFORE offering to pay.

 

Hey, I have NOT found my Florida Sugar Daddy as yet./lol  ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

 

Anyway, JUST FOR TODAY I felt generous.

Nicole @SpringIsHereVA ,

What a kind thing to do! We need so much more of this in the world - recognizing the needs of others and doing what we can to help them. In the process, I hope your act of kindness made you feel better too.

Kudos to you for helping to make the world a better place!

I visited a neighbor yesterday who has been struggling with ongoing health issues. A visit means so much to people who can't get out for health/mobility issues! It was great to visit with her, it brightened her spirits, and she expressed such gratitude. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ŠWin, Win!
