Highlights of the day...hmmm 🤔 what are yours?

[Starrlight]

Lighting candles and incense

Day dreaming about good times to come

Hugs from my kiddos

Catching myself being negative and turning the thoughts around

Talking with a loved one on the phone

My grandpa made my favorite dish

Waking up, my husband cooking breakfast, walking my dog, binge watching The Simpsons, and going for a ride around the block.

Thank you for posting 😊

[Starrlight in reply to Jane_Doe2018]

Nice Jane!

[newbie1956]

It really is the little things, Starr. In memories, they become even more

meaningful.

[Starrlight in reply to newbie1956]

True 😊

[NCAQuilter]

So much to be thankful for. Having a wonderful husband for 60 years, having 4 happy, healthy children (the rainbows of life), and an awesome granddaughter (the pot of gold). And that's just for starters.

Thanks for bringing all this to mind, Star. Your light is beautiful.

[Starrlight]

Your light is beautiful too. I love how you describe loved ones.

Today I have a friend coming and we are going out for lunch 😊 I am feeling this is a highlight after a real anxious week..lots of things making me anxious this week,, so lunch out at a nice country restaurant feels like such a blessing, away from it all...

Good wishes to you starlight 🌺🌺

[Starrlight]

That sounds so great Olivia! Soak up all the positivity energy you can so you can carry that around with you even after you’ve had your lunch. I think my highlight will be feeling accomplished after making an important dreaded phone call, and it’s 40 degrees here so another highlight will be getting warm after walking my kiddos to school. Hmmm I just might drive which could give me a problem as I get nervous driving. Hmmm

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

I did feel accomplished and had a nice time...💕hope you got the kiddos there ok...40degrees wow....

And I’m now feeling so grateful for the peace of my lovely bedroom...and the lovely coloured dim lighting...I can really chill out here.....😊 xx

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Ah yeah I have a great little chill out spot too.

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

[Redfox9]

no highlights it was bad day.

[Starrlight in reply to Redfox9]

Do you want to talk about it Redfox? (((((((((Hug))))))))

[Redfox9 in reply to Starrlight]

overthinking about various things, am unable to concentrate on my studies. i keep thinking of situation which won't happen, am finding it hard to accept few things.

[Starrlight in reply to Redfox9]

Overthinking is tough ... try this... really focus on picturing your worry (that won’t happen ) floating down a stream out of your memory, gone. Do it over and over if you need to while calming with deep breathing...if this works I bet it will help with focus to study.

What is hard to accept if you don’t mind me asking?

[Redfox9 in reply to Starrlight]

it's hard to accept that the one which you were damn close to, the one on whom you've put so much time on, for whom you have fought with friends and lost everyone of your friends have become stranger. like i actually ignored my family because of that person, am regretting that i gave priority to such a person.

[Starrlight in reply to Redfox9]

Oh Redfox Its good to let it out and I hope for you to heal and I’m very sorry for your loss of a special friend. I know that feeling. Once I had to say goodbye to the one I loved. Everything would remind me of him.

[Miniwheats in reply to Redfox9]

Please excuse my butting in 😳, but your post really resonated with me. I went through somewhat of a similar scenario, only not caused by a person rather a "situation". I can assure you that if the friends you turned your back on are really your friends, and if your family really do care about you, they will come back to you. Maybe not every single one of them but others will. There is a life lesson here that you have learned and will allow you to grow. Reflect on what happened and give yourself time to figure out what the lesson was and how you might make different decisions next time. Be kind to yourself and be humble during this process. Then begin reaching out to the ones you believe you have lost. You'd be surprised how often we are wrong about what we assume other people are thinking about us, or how they interpreted our actions. You may be pleasantly surprised that it's not nearly as negative as you think! Let them know that you realized you "screwed up", and tell them how and why, and that you deeply regret it. Just tell them how you feel. We all make huge mistakes in life and we can choose to either be defeated by them or learn from them. My grandmother used to say "only those who do, make mistakes". In other words, only the dead are perfect! I wish you all the best 😊

[Redfox9 in reply to Miniwheats]

thanks miniwheats, your words are great. My family is standing by me in every situation, whatever i make mistakes either big or small, they never stop believing me and keep on being with me, they never left, my few friends also stand by me. But thing is that i regret ignoring family, they are always there for me, and i ignore them. I regret it.

[Miniwheats in reply to Redfox9]

Oh ok then I misunderstood your post 😬 Well now you've just got to ask yourself one question -why am I ignoring them. Maybe it's something you need to work on about yourself, maybe it's something they need to work on. It sounds like you're still young though (you mentioned studying) so perhaps you are doing what most of us did when we were first getting out there in the world which was put our family on the backburner temporarily while we tried to figure out who the heck we are! 😀

I am a bit late Starrlight

Had a bad weekend but the highlight was I love this program we have called

Im A Celebrity and that started last night plus I enjoy my Strictly Come Dancing which was on Saturday

Hope those two will do , not a lot but better than nothing

Take Care x

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Oh yes I love that feeling when a new good show comes on.

[aaronm]

I'm a bit late too but lets see...

I finished my section of the group assignment for my class and sent it off to the other members. That was a relief.

Saturday and Sunday were sunny and this morning is too.

I have a great immediate family with my kids and a loving beautiful wife.

I'm a successful professional in the workplace.

[Starrlight]

Awesome!!!

[Miniwheats]

My highlight is that for the first time in months I slept through the whole night! Didn't even get up to use the washroom 😀

[Starrlight in reply to Miniwheats]

That’s huge!
