I have ups and downs like you. So much has to do with family illnesses, my upcoming shoulder replacements, etc. My anxiety and depression don’t help. Thinking too much about these things doesn’t help. Taking walks and soaking up the sunshine and nature help so much!
We’re all here for each other!
May you find the peace you deserve!

By the way, your name ALWAYS makes me giggle. Why? Cuz I love how you state who you are in your name as I do. Oh, I look like a sweet old granny but I too LOVE being a rascel.
Ok, I missed this before, you are getting both your shoulders replaced??? Oh my gosh girl!!! You do have some health challenges going on.
I am posting this for a few reasons. 1. I want you to know I recognize your pain. I recognize your valor. I recognize your drive to go on, no matter what.
My hat is off to you. I honor you and the struggles you are going thru.
Ok, a little personal info...
My mom died suddenly of a stroke Dec 14, 2010.
My husband fell and started bleeding in 3 places in his head, Feb 11, 2011. He died in 8 hours.
A month later, my knee blew out. I had to have it replaced.
Months later, the bank let me know they were taking my house.....I said, Oh no you are not. I put it up for sale and sold it 5 days before the bank took it.
With the $3,000 profit, not counting the $45,000 loss, I jumped on a plane and took off for Africa.
I was so tired of whining and feeling sorry for myself, I chose to go work with those less fortunate than I was....
Best thing I ever did too.
I remember, giggling at the memory, the mission I was working at was given a sheep by one of the Elders of a tribe the mission was serving.
Ok, so I heard all kind of stories about how this guy had donated a sheep before but never came across with it...
I chose to take an action and went to get that sheep...I walked the whole way, walking faster than a young male nurse from a big city. I walked with ease, miles and miles...I came back without our sheep to boot. That elder is probably still donating a sheep and not coming across with it! Grin
.
Hahaha, so anyways, if I can do it, you can too girlfriend.
That knee replacement was the best thing I ever did.
Have a great day cuz I know I am...remember, attitude is everything.
