Miss Witsend, There’s no need to apologize. 🙃
Seriously, we’ve all ‘been there’ at one time or another. The beauty of Connect is that most of us on the forum have or had illnesses, cancer, mental or physical challenges, been caregivers, etc.. We’re here to help and support each other through our shared and learned experiences. It’s meant to be encouraging with conversations around our imaginary kitchen table. ☺️

I remember my mom and neighbor ladies, or my mom, aunts and grannies chewing the fat around the kitchen table. Coffee klatches! They worked through the toughest of challenges or sometimes it was just venting. It helps to talk things through and with that often comes some self introspection. We start seeing ourselves from a new perspective. It’s how we grow.

But thank you for your kind words. As a mentor it is so rewarding when I know that I’ve been able to make a difference is someone’s life. ☺️

I can be annoyingly motivational. 😂 If you’d like to see what makes me tick, last year I was coerced into a interview with a fellow mentor. Here’s a link to what lurks inside my brain. Maybe my favorite quotation in the article will motivate you too. ☺️ https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/newsfeed-post/ill-take-an-order-of-hope-with-a-side-of-mayo-please/

This morning is the beginning of a new start for you. What’s one small thing you’d like to accomplish today?

@witsend000 Bless you! As you have discovered, rereading a post may lead you to insight that might not have been visible to you earlier. A new day, refreshened outlook, can help us see things differently.

I hope your weekend has a smile and even some laughter in it. Remember, we are here for you.
Ginger
