Good morning ,all . I just thought that I would start the day sharing one of my MOST favorite quotes . Yes, I'm very new here so many of you probably have already heard this quote before. For those who haven't heard it...I wanted to share. I think it's even more special that it's a quote from Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh!! Who doesn't love Pooh bear? I had one as a child...billions of years ago when dinosaurs roamed the earth!! LOL . I wish you all a good day or at least make it through in one piece. Believe me.. I know all too well that it's NOT one day at a time . Some days, its literally one hour, one minute, and even one second at a time....believe me... I know!! That is how every day has been for me lately. If it's not depression or panic...it's excruciating pain .That's why we're all here to share. 😊

Good morning Michelle, you are doing well. Thanks for the quote. It is very inspiring, and have never had one minute, much more one second at a time. May God bless you. More grace to you😊

Hello CindyKatherine!! Thank you for your reply!! Nice to meet you. I’m glad you enjoyed the quote!! I LOVE that quote. I love Winnie the Pooh even that I haven’t been a child in a long time!! Haha!! Today for me was more physical pain but that led to panic attacks…like I can’t take this pain anymore. I’ve been in 3 accidents…none my fault and wasn’t even driving in 2. 1st one should have killed me. Serious lifelong injuries. Witnesses thought I was dead. Also been in 3 fires. 3 is NOT my lucky number!! Thank goodness I escaped unharmed in 2 & only smoke inhalation in 3rd. Sorry I’m babbling on. Have a lovely evening CindyKatherine!! 😊

Thank you for the quote. I needed to be reminded of that today. I hope I can be braver, stronger, and smarter than I currently feel.

Hello Luna_Child!! Nice to meet you!! I LOVE Winnie the Pooh stuff also!! Love the way he talks. Love Piglet, sad Eyore and can’t forget about Tigger!! My ex-boyfriend did the best Tigger impersonation. “The wonderful thing about Tiggers is Tiggers are wonderful things. Tops are made out of rubber. Their bottoms are made out of springs. They’re bouncy, trouncy, ouncy, pouncy. Fun fun fun fun fun fun. But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I’m the only one”!! LOl😂 Yes..I’m very silly. The craziest thing is I did that from memory!! I have a very musical ear. Used to play piano. LOVE new tv shows…Name that Tube, Beat Shazam and Don’t Forget the Lyrics!! I totally kick butt watching those shows. I would do great going on them if my darn panic attacks and also not like being the center of attention weren’t such a problem!! Oh well…still have fun watching and takes myself off my problems for a little while. Have a lovely evening!! 😊

Hello Stilltrying2!! Nice to meet you!! I’m very glad that you liked the quote!! I completely understand. Just because I posted that quote does not mean that I don’t need to feel that way or that I feel that way all the time…nope!! Not even close!! It’s something I love to remind myself of and have in various locations in my home. I try to tell myself that quote over and over. I think everyone here probably can relate. I’m glad that I found this site. I’m going to reach out as needed. I hope your day was not too terrible If I can help in some way….please reach out. Hope you have a peaceful night Stilltrying2. 😊

Good morning Luna_Child!! Thank you very much. I will always accept healing thoughts!! Certainly can’t get enough of those!! I wish you a good day!! If I can make it to my chiropractor today… I’ll be so happy because it really helps most of my pain. My favorite doctor to go to. Only doctor that takes only 20 mins & actually feel sooo much better when I leave. All rest of my appts take hrs of waiting just to see them for 5 mins & in agony when leave. And my chiropractor not only has magic hands…super nice guy as well. Crossing my fingers that nothing prevents me from going today!! 😃

Hello again Luna_Child!! Yay!! So happy 😀 made it to the chiropractor today!! Was like Humpty Dumpty…he had to put me back together again!! Wish I could go every day. Also had therapy today. I know they say money can’t buy happiness…that’s true but it sure would make life easier!! I would have a massage daily followed by the chiropractor. Of course have a chef, maid and chauffeur!! And since I spent so much of my life not living like that…I wouldn’t become snobby. I need to win the lottery. Only problem is I have to play the lottery first!! Haha!! 😂

Hello sweet Luna_Child!! Yes…I forgot to mention if I ever became rich somehow…would also help family (true family…not some really distant cousins that I’ve never met before coming out of the woodwork.) Also donate to so many charities…animals are very close to my heart. Currently, have shelter rescue cat. All my cats have been rescues. My Dad was like Dr Doolittle…I swear he could talk to all the animals. I’m still struggling with grief. Last go around…had 2 cats. Took care of the one…then he died. Before I could even grieve, I was taking care of my Dad.. don’t know how physically but I would have and did everything for him. So 10 weeks after I lost my one fur baby, I lost my father. I had the most amazing Dad, was my best friend, my hero and the only person who never disappointed me. I clung for dear life to my other cat ..he was a real mama’s boy. Then I took care of him and he was gone. The 3 of them were gone in less than 6 months and it broke me. I’m still broken. My Dad taught me everything except how to live without him. Oh…tears 😢 So cancer charities would be huge for me. I’m very emotional and wear my heart on my sleeve. I start crying if a commercial comes on for children with cancer or something as equally awful. It’s not right. Children shouldn’t have to go through that. I get equally upset at abused animals commercials….no!! If you’re not going to treat an animal properly…then don’t get one!! I don’t mean you, of course!! I mean the truly evil people that do this stuff. So…anyway. Sweet dreams Luna_Child 😴
