We Have a Different Standard

I saw this and thought of all of us. I'm trying to remember that anything I can get done is progress, even if it's not as much as I used to to do, and even if it's at a slower pace.

I hope you all are doing well, even if that, too, is at a little different standard.

Dear greaterexp thank you for the message. I try not to compare myself to others but still compare myself to what I used to do. trying to be a little more gentle these days. an accomplishment still counts in the done column. have a great day

I try to do what I can, when I can. If I'm unable to do it, that is okay too.

Thank you, greaterexp , for this timely reminder. I haven’t been quilting lately, but I cannot wait, after I get settled in to my, yet found, home! Keep Smiling :-D

I always managed to get out quickly. I can't remember if I used bribery.

I have come to that conclusion this week! I have a quilt that I need to get made for a Christmas present for my Granddaughter. It's very simple yet when you don't have any strength it feels like a mountain at times. So it's one step at a time no matter how long it may take!

Yes, hairbrain4 , but stitch by stitch, you’ll get it done! Post a picture when complete, if you can. Sending you lots of positive energy! :-D

Most don't realize how much can get done or changed by doing it a bit every day!

Making a dinner usually starts still early a.m., if it's going to get done. If you don't start that early, it won't get done before I am. But I get it done most days, so that's what counts.

I got my dog about 4 months ago and I thought poor puppy has to walk with my slow … but guess what a walk is a walk and she still loves them. Some days I do 1/2 mile sometimes more than two I let My body decide what we are doing. Good post good reminder keep moving MS warriors as my 91 year old mom often says “you can’t hit a moving target”. Peace

Thank you for the encouraging words. Every morning, when I am trying to get my legs to work with me and they don't. And the devil 😈 is telling me I can't do it. I tell him that he is lying and I get up and start my day. 🙏🏽
