I am grateful for the snow that blankets things outside making them look clean and beautiful. I am grateful the storm last night and today wasn't as bad as originally forecast.

I am grateful I can head to bed early tonight. I am tired and sore from physical therapy and can't wait to wrap some soft cozy blankets around me.

I am grateful for my family, friends and everyone here who listens and supports me when I need it.

Good night everyone.

You probably already know, but just in case...

Heat before PT to loosen up and move more easily.

Cold after to prevent swelling.

The PT office I used never told me. When I found out, and asked for it, it made a huge difference.

I am so grateful for my Mom, because I’ve been going through a very difficult time since December and she has been holding me together. And I’m sure your Mom is watching over you Starrlight. You must be going through such a rough time yourself. Take one day at a time.

Hi! I haven’t seen you in a while: I’m happy for you that you have your mom. I do think mine is watching over me, sometimes it feels like she is a part of me, like in my heart 💜

I'm grateful you are doing better. ❤️

I'm grateful that my team has discussed my cutting back from weekly sessions. It's been 9 years and I'm doing so well !!

I'm grateful it's March. Almost time to open the cottage. Ocean here I come

Thank you ☺️ and good for you! Cutting back from weekly sessions is a big change. Ooooooh cottage time coming up?! So exciting! I thought winter would last forever but I’m noticing signs of Spring now.

Yes, spring is in the air it's amazing. There is always a chance of snow here but by this time of year it melts fast enough.

hey I just realized I’m doing Spring cleaning a bit early. I’m getting rid of so much not needed and it feels super good. I don’t know if I’m ready for Spring though I feel like things are moving a bit fast ha! I don’t have a choice though so I guess I’ll start accepting it.

Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight

You know I love that word cleaning lol. Something so good about it when it's done

Taking my 🦔 off to listen to music.

Grateful for you

Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14

yes you do ha!!! Cleaning does feel so good. I think cleaning and decluttering is addictive and I’m trying to watch what I let into my home to make life simpler. I finally let go of my biggest and smallest pairs of jeans that I’m hoping I never have the need for again. I like my weight to be in the middle.

What’s Herman’s favorite type of music?! 😂

Grateful for you too! 😌

Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight

it's good to do a clean sweep. Someone will be happy to have the things you don't need.

Herman doesn't like anything too loud it makes him spike hahahah

Goodnight sweet star ❤️

Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14

Yes I love knowing things we don’t need can be enjoyed by others out there.

omg 😂 I’m picturing Herman spiking to the music and it’s so funny to me.. poor thing…so he’s a mellow kinda guy… I thought so.

Goodnight sweet Dolphin love ❤️

I must have read "Taking my 🦔 off to listen to music" six times.

Taking your Herbert off? Taking him off... what??

Trying to reason it out -- it's too hard for me. I'm lost.

Beware getting old kiddos. 😒😬

I'm up to speed now, but it took a year.

What kind of music does the little guy like? Lemme guess... "Tunnel of Love"? 😊

Dolphin14 profile image
Dolphin14 in reply to Nothing_but_books

Hahaha! Tunnel of love, you are so quick and witty We go off into another room for music and reading. I lay down so he can tunnel:)

Herman + Dolphin best buds. Did you keep up the reading to him?

You were the one that told me from the get go to speak to him just like you did with Tara. I always say to him " ok it's reading time" haha. If I tell you anymore you may have me locked up LOL

Spring cleaning? I know you've been de-cluttering, but that's whole hog.

Okay. I'm inspired. My turn to attack a few extra things.

I'm getting to think I'm the last place to see spring. Another storm due this weekend. I'm past the "pretty snow" phase. 🥶❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Understood. You had enough in one dump to last a life time.

That was bad. Then a couple more followed. No year like this in decades. We keep having dangerously high wind warnings -- still going on. I don't remember the weather ever being like this when I was young.

In addition to being grateful for the usual suspects -- life, poetry, my cat -- I'm grateful for awareness of my many flaws, limitations, and deficiencies (and an awareness that there are many more I'm not aware of yet). This understanding keeps me grounded and my expectations realistic, which often translates to achievable goals and always self-acceptance.

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to mrmonk

Very insightful. Awareness leading to a more grounded successful you is really inspiring to me. Thanks so much for sharing…

P.s. i think you are perfect just the way you are in your process

mrmonk profile image
mrmonk in reply to Starrlight

Thanks, Starrlight! 😺

I really like that phrase "perfectly imperfect" -- I think it's especially meaningful for those of us who struggle with mental illness.

Starrlight profile image
Starrlight in reply to mrmonk

😻I like that phrase too. Lately I’ve been stopping myself from saying ‘ I should of’ ‘could of’ and ‘would of’ and accept myself at the moment just how I am while at the same time, striving for goals as you have said.

Nothing_but_books in reply to Starrlight

Thank you Starr. I've been struggling to process mrmonk's words. You've helped me make it real.

It's a new way of thinking for me.
