Thank heaven for small victories, thank you for enabling me to shower,wash my hair ,brush my teeth, put my socks on and tie my own shoelaces , ( deep breath ) for putting my own screen wash in my car, for eating a cooked breakfast all without losing my breath and more importantly for being at peace with myself .
I wish each and everyone of you the comfort of peace ,i hope you all enjoy your day
Same to you soulboy I'm glad your having a good day. Let's hope it continues ☺
So far so good popie , its,not made me want to dig out my shell suit and addidas trainers and go for a run yet ( thank god, im sure the fashion police would arrest me lol ) but it would be nice to go back to the 80s when i was fit and healthy ( big sigh)
God forbid haha I can't believe people used to wear those awful shell suits, looking back now it's quite funny . 😆
Thank god i never wore one ( honestly 😏) theres a joke about shell suits that i cant repeat here ,lets say its geographically biased lol
I got chatted up by a man in a uniform who was very fit, dark and handsome. We arranged to meet and I was excited. Oh what a letdown, soulboy had lent him his shell suit!! Hope the day goes well
Seems i lent my shell suit to a sly dog , ill find him one day lol
When it was your turn to wear the suit...... Did you swagger when you walked and hold your arms out as if you had boils in your armpits? Also, please tell me it had some purple in it.
You missed out the constipated expression on the face of all shell suit wearers ,luckily i wouldnt be seen dead in one but i do remember thd purple colour ,said shell suit wearers wore timberland boots to go on a night out as well
Style is temporary but Class is permanent
That’s great soulboy and long may you continue to have your small victories. Enjoy your day. Xxx
To few and far between these days but onward and upwards they say

Thats a lot of emoji's there , i bet your fluent in egyptian hiroglificks ( not spelt correctly i know )
No, I'm not. My emojis reflect my thoughts. I am an animated person, take the enjoyment of my life and who is in it very seriously, and I show joy😜
That’s great for you, keep on keeping on. Baby steps. X
Baby steps are my thing now celat06 ,to think i once took bold leaps like a gazelle lol
In my book those big victories, I don't know how you have achieved them but I hope it all continues for you.
To be honest nor do i , ive tried that many combinations of food ,meds ,vitamins it drives me nuts at times what ive worked out is moderation in everything have a varied diet and be grateful for small mercies
Oh yes soulboy118 ,wouldn't that be just the best thing ever,to go back in time to when we were all healthy(or healthier)! We have to settle for all the memories we've stored up I suppose? Good to read you're doing well and your quite right,I think,in everything is ok if it's in moderation!!!!😜😝😋
Memories are wonderful , thankfully we can still make more and as good as it is to look back we must look to the future and hopefully a new funny story to remember
Thats the way to do it soulboy, great way to start your day, long may it continue x
Fingers crossed it continues

Wow! You lucky bugger, l just had ablutions last night, it took me 10+minutes to get my breath back.
Well done whatever it was you did.
Ablutions can be a problem not often mentioned here, its a personal subject i know but perhaps a bit of froup discussion might help people ? Its something to think about
