I need your great spoon concept! Good reminder, Becky. Did way too much yesterday at Mayo for pre-op, walked 3 bldgs to a Cafe for food to take home. Suchi for Rob, yogurt &fruit and choc pudding for me. Walked back to get car, home to bed! That was pushing it as I've not gotten exercise for months, infections, but my mind has been planning....today, resting with kitty, in wonderfully soft new captain I just bought online last week. This is refiling my spoons...so my special Angels and I can get through the surgery no problem next Thurs. Love my caftan. Getting a couple more and a sleepshirt and a Wacoal bra! Gifts for me!
Spoons help me so much to think clearly, focus and take each moment as a gift to use thoughtfully. Wisely.
Thanks, Becky. Wisdom friend. Blessings..Elizabeth

Oh-Oh. You just said, "pudding." Chocolate pudding. Must. Go. To. Grocery. Now.
Learning to reframe, resist defeatist all-or-nothing thinking, and celebrate small accomplishments, makes us feel better and avoids the giving up mentality. Good for you Elizabeth, keep spooning!
Best of luck with your surgery this week, and enjoy your small wins.

You know, this spoon conserving concept has and is teaching me to think with focus on what truly needs to be done right now. Not a thought of yesterday and what I used to do or how much I did for so many years...AND, not a thought of tomorrow....at least far less than I used to do...today is my time.. I will use it well.
One spoon at a time! It's so helpful...blessings, elizabeth
