Back to my four mantras..

22 Replies

I am grateful

I felt grateful to make it to the ballet, it was full of white heads, mothers and daughters, no kids munching crisps this week 😃 such grace and beauty..🌺

I am kind

Well I try to be kind to my fellow woman/man. I chose that one long ago..

That mantra takes the resentment and bitterness away..I don’t want to end up like that..

I am well

Well I’m not but I am really as 2greys wrote..

It also helps me to think positive.

I am enough

I can recognise and cope with my limits. I am happy with who I am. I pace myself..

Bea teasing Aria!! 😻

Wishing you well xx

I must adopt your mantra Fran and be kind to my fellow man and woman. I’m not very sociable but I’m trying harder.

Glad you enjoyed the ballet and wishing you a good weekend.

Aria looks unimpressed........😂😃🌺🌹

I feel you are very kind Carole. Your interventions are always so caring 💕

Thank you, hope your weekend is restful and fun!

Aria makes me laugh too, she looks so small there, wondering does Bea really want me to play with that plastic bird when I have birds and mice waiting for me in the garden 😃

Love,

Fran xx

That's better, now that is the Fran I have come to know, and relieved you took my previous reply in the way it was intended. I know you will return the favour should I ever need it :) We all need a gentle "kick up the bum" on occasion, to get back on the straight and narrow.

I hope that your pain gets manageable very soon, constant pain can and will get you feeling at a low ebb. Have faith that it will be sorted out, a difficult journey for you at the moment, but you will get there and it will become just another distant memory.

Haha..thanks 2greys 😉😊

Morning Fran from the frosty east coast. I hope the sun shines today I for one am fed up with dull dark days, brightness improves my outlook and I hope I can pass good vibes to you all. I still use your advice and YouTube's playing right now. After the next cough and splutter I am definitely getting out of bed lol. Keep positive Fran, have a super day 🎡🎢 jane

in reply tochubby2x22

Hi Jane it was sunny here yesterday..I’d better pull the curtains and see!! Lazy morning watching breakfast tv talking about health and doctors non stop! Can’t get away from it 😃

Yes I feel more positive today thank you 🌷☀️ xx

That’s a beautiful post. Thankyou.

It has reminded me that having recently read an article about keeping

a “ gratitude journal” I am going to start.

Today.

So thanks for the nudge.

I admit to being so envious of your little four legged friend. I think all patients with a long term condition should be allowed a pet.

We are not allowed pets where I live,

But I am grateful. I have a local cat called “ Mackerel” who visits occasionally and stays for a few hours. He always knows when I am in need of a little feline support.

Good wishes and thanks for the beautiful photo.

Thanks for the mantras you’re so good at sharing, Fran 🌷 Really helpful! More than you’ll ever know ❤️

Is it my imagination but you seem to be back, or forward, to your old self now that you’re in London? It’s doing you good 🇬🇧 You’re living up to your name!

Hello Penny 💕

Sharing is easy on this forum, people are non-judgemental..😊

No I am not back to normal sweetie, I won’t be for a while if ever..but it feels good to be home. I certainly feel

more alive here than I have been in a long time.

I am lucky to have a doctor in every town 😃 and so life goes on..

And you know I am a glass half-full type of girl..😉🌷

Love,

Fran xx
