Positive

[Lynn1966]

Hi all you lovely people, after I wrote how I was lonely,bored feeling sorry for myself etc ,I've gave myself a kick up the backside. I have a family who loves me and I'm still here to see them grow. I've been to the doctors today as arranged for my low BP. What an amazing doctor he was. He explained things and most of all he listened to me. Since leaving the surgery I've came home, tidied the house, took my dog for a lovely walk. I had no niggles while I did all this.I actually feel I can do this and I will do this. I'm going to get better and I'm going to enjoy my life even more than I did before. I wish each and everyone off you the best for the future. P.S I even played my favourite music and had a dance and a singalong 😀😀

Good on you lynn1966,I like your positive thinking.just don't push yourself too much.i'm still waiting on a diagnosis and to see a cardiologist.stopped exercising but just taking each day at a time and thinking positive too.some times it's the not knowing and the not understanding what's going on that causes worry,so pleased your GP explained and you feel better about everything.you can do this.

[Lynn1966 in reply to tezza80]

Thanks tezza80, I will be taking it easy and not over doing it. I just want to smile again and enjoy life. My second chance isn't going to be wasted. You take care my lovely xx

😂😂fabulous. Glad to hear it. You should have recorded it and we could have joined in ❤️

[Sususulio]

Brilliant - sometimes you’ve got to be down to get back up and a helpful meeting with the GP is good news. You look too happy on your photo to be anything other than positive, it just escaped you for a bit that’s all 😁

[Lynn1966 in reply to Sususulio]

It’s was a lovely day, my son popped in while I had the music on, lol I said to him do you want to dance. He had the biggest smile on his face , to say that’s my crazy mum 😂🤣😂🤣xx

[Karenpr]

Well done you ❤️

That's fantastic Lynn I'm so happy for you . Wishing you a lovely Christmas and many New Years to come xxx

Hi lynn lovely ,we all feel exactly the same at times but also have to make ourselves realise the good things we still have , I'm now going to follow your example and dance to some music it's " Sympathy for the Devil " I've chosen but after some consideration I might have to rethink my choice. X

So lovely to read this and very happy for you ! It is difficult at times to see the wood for the trees particularly when you have medical set backs . Remember “dance like nobody is watching and sing like no one is listening “. 🎉🎉😁😁

[Shwmae]

I'm so glad you are feeling more positive, it is a huge event but we can't let it define us , it's happened we've survived and now we need to look forward and enjoy ourselves. I hope you and the family have a magical Christmas x

Lynn,

playing your favourite music once again is a MASSIVE step. It says at once, "I'm getting better". It shows you are feeling confident enough to allow yourself to be positive.

After a gap of four months since my surgery I started to listen to my all time favourite singer again (Jackie Evancho). She sings so beautifully that tears often flow. How I missed her voice! It was almost like I was punishing myself by dwelling on the negative. Slowly you allow yourself to think, "Maybe I am going to be OK after all!". Turn the volume up a tad Lynn and say "Thank you for the music".

Alec.

Hi Lynn. I can't tell you how pleased I am you're happier and getting on with your wonderful life with family who love you.

I'm sure everyone on this forum can be seen as friends so if you need to, have a good moan (and certainly let us know some more of your positives). Have a lovely weekend Lynn xxx

[Lynn1966 in reply to Handel]

I have had another good day. Went for my half hour walk early this morning 😃done some pottering around the house. Been to see the mother in law and done some Xmas shopping on my own with a smile on my face 😃. I actually felt normal (ish). I’m looking forward to seeing my daughter tomorrow and going walking with the dogs. Also my eldest son is taking us all out for a meal. I am lucky lady in more ways than one. Hope all you lovely people are doing well. Your all lovely friends on here and probably wouldn’t be getting this far if it wasn’t for all your lovely comments xx

[Handel in reply to Lynn1966]

Good for you. I hope the weather stays fine for your walk - even if it doesn't, rain never turned anyone rusty!! I'm currently nursing hubby back to health following a quadruple bypass a couple of weeks ago. I love seeing little improvements every day!!!

We can find lovely things if we take time to stop and look. xxxx

[Lynn1966 in reply to Handel]

Oh I do have a lovely family, I look at all you on here as my good friends too . Hope you have a great weekend too xx

Hi Lynn.

Joined my first Royal Navy ship in Plymouth Sound January 1966 now that was the beginning of quite a long journey !! sounds like yours started around the same time. Here we are in 2018 and still ticking over !! Life is a journey and so pleased that you have settled onto a lovely cloud and are now just drifting along listening to your favourite music. Life is so good enjoy it.

Best Regards

[Lynn1966 in reply to Prada47]

Hi prada47, that’s amazing how your journey started in Plymouth. Did you like Plymouth? 1966 apparently was a good year, not just because I was born 😂😂 staying positive is actually helping me to move on. I love dancing lol but I can not sing but I do try.. hope you are doing well too x

[meashamfox]

Don't forget Lynn even after a bad day don't give in and keep positive. As you say we have been given a second chance. I wish you all the best Lynn ❤

[redcarpet123]

That's great to hear. All the best for new year. You get times like this but remember the good times.
