Nervousness and Worry

@brit.....Hey Patti, so glad you went out! Sometimes the hardest thing is the best for us! I understand what you mean by not wanting to reveal too much of yourself. I’m unable to drive due to circumstances beyond my control. I miss church and making new friends. My brother and I spent our adult lives here, but we moved away for 7 years, and boy have things changed!
Keep me posted!............Iren

Keep your strength up and praise the Lord we have at least been given the chance to heal. I am a very determined person but this depression has really "beaten" me up. I have a wonderful husband that stands by my side and does all he can, I am blessed that's
for sure. Is your brother still with you? Again........praise our Father and ask for his help. Don't know about you but sometimes (really) most of the time I don't "listen" but I am trying to do better. Lets keep in touch Patti

I saw this article today about classroom teachers using mindfulness to help them with the stress in the classroom, but that asking and instructing students on how to be mindful doesn't always work for students who have experienced trauma. These students have trust issues, and asking them to step outside their comfort zone can cause a trauma response. It's very interesting, and I thought it would make a good contribution to this discussion. This explains how to reach some troubled kids and why it matters.

Boy, hit on a very good subject and possible answer as to why so many of our children are troubled today. I'm 73 and can never remember feeling "troubled" when I was young. Mum and Dad always fixed everything. Cause there came a time when I had to
solve my own problems!
Really enjoyed your thoughts God Bless Patti

That was a very thoughtful and helpful article, @jenniferhunter. I appreciate your sharing it.
