Zoom or physical monthly meetings; great information and discussion!!

[Grammy80]

This morning, I met via Zoom with the support group I attend monthly. It was terrific 'being with others face to face.' This meeting starts at three PM~ BST and 9 AM CST in Indiana.

If you don't attend a monthly meeting like this, you are missing out on a fantastic tool for your PMR/GCA toolbox!! Seeing other faces, being able to talk and listen, and then discussing something. It is like the forum on steroids.

I learned so much today. Listening to the others, you can see all the similarities and differences, how people cope, and what their mechanisms are that might help you. There may be a little niggle you wonder about and find another person feeling the same thing; for example. Each of us is on the same journey. I'm sure one of our terrific Ambassadors will post the link for various locations. I'm just sharing my enthusiasm in hopes that if you don't attend one....you might look into it.💞

you remind me of my mum in the old days!

“come on Jane it’s time to get up and smell the roses, it’s 8 am!

Today I have filled home-made Advent calendars with little gifts for my grandies that I had chosen individually. 96 individual gifts in little individual jute bags. I stuck on stickers of 1-24 X4 times each. It took me all afternoon. Utterly worn out and happy. Time out from our diseases.💖

Oh, Jane, what a wonderful idea, Jane, they will love them!!!.....and I can feel the joy you received in making them. I was always a 'Christmas starts in July' gal....maybe from many years of budgeting as a single Mom. When I was quilting, I made one the family still hangs on the wall. Merry! 🤶🏼Merry!! 💞
