Kindness/ Thank all of you
I wrote a beutiful message with tears (I haven't cried in years) when I got all your well wishes-and support- I did not expect that!!!
I ended my thankyou trying to insert the exotic orchid, saying your kindnesses are as beutiful and exotic as the orchid. Well I lost my whole message!!, which snapped me out of it. Oh well, I put the pic in first this time. and "and told myself "don't be so serious...!!!"
Thank you, all of you, I really mean it.

PS Today I read the generic name for all negative thoughts was "unhappiness"- I never knew that- no wonder it is such a struggle!!

Hi Pro Buddies!
Today is a much better day. I am feeling a lot better.
OK, now I need to decompress, and "keep it between the lines" as I am navigating along.
This morning, I went to the gym & did my ab exercises & stretching. Staff meeting this morning at work, then talked to my boss afterward. Now I am finishing up lunch and posting my CI. Next: work on projects this afternoon & see how far I can get.
After work I have a chiropractor appointment, then go to my other 12-step meeting; then I hope to meet with my sponsor afterward. Since I will be out this evening, I probably won't get to update my CI the rest of the day.
Have a great day, everyone! :)

Journey 9 am
Good morning! Leaving early today to help out with new baby so I'm thinking about ditching Toastmasters. We're having elections today and it's not like there is a lot of competition for the officer roles . . . mostly it consists of begging people to take on some responsiblity lol.
So I need to get busy, I was off Friday becoming a grandma again so today is catch up day.

Good morning, everyone...
Friday I was really sick w/ a bad cold, but I had one out-of-the-office assignment I had to do, so I did that and then vegged out the rest of the day.
Saturday I was much better and Mrs. GS and I went to the even bigger city for an orchestra concert. And yesterday was No. 1 son's HS graduation. His mother (my ex-) hosted a party and we helped and it went amazingly well.
My ex- even gave my wife a thank you hug when we left for the evening.
Despite graduation I had to work late at my PT job (my boss couldn't give me the day off so I just started very, very late).
Now it's Monday.
I must finish up Project P-8
I also need to do significant work on Project T-VP
And my task list has degenerated into a mess.
So those are my MIT's today.

Monday June 8 check in mj
I think this is the check in thread. I'll use it that way, anway. Nice "daily motivators" site.
Today i need to:
find & recycle two more boxes of papers( I see I've been skipping this, looking back on my last few checkins).
attend the sb training
not become hostile or fearful at the training (this is a challenge because my employment status is questionable due to my procrastination - lesson for you, boys and girls - consequences to follow, and they are not fun)
see another rental place
usual household routine = dishes, doggies, self care, etc
sgos (another Most Important Thing I've been procrastinating on)
emissions test
@mamajama
Yep, you're in the right place and we look forward to seeing your posts!

Change
I almost did not post today. It is my birthday. It is always a strange day for me. Last year was good because my gift to myself was a retreat and when I got back I had tickets for a mystery dinner show we all went and it was the best bday ever because I had not expectations of anyone else.
I am starting to feel down already. My husband said happy bday and he was going to Phila. after work. My sons did not say happy bday.
I know it is ridiculous and I don't know if I expect to be treated on my bday as I treat others - it has to do with my growing up- my bday was never celebrated, but it is no excuse now.
Sooooooooo this year I guess I will buy myself a cell phone. I had sprint and I was paying $95/mo and used it for business and then when I switched jobs, I was not using it so I canceled in March.
Of course I have procrastinated on getting another one. My sister has T-mobile and it sounds like a good plan for me for now, so for my bday- I will get it.
For my bday, I will be happy and not analyze others - I will give them to my HP while I go do something else. I know it sounds easy, trust me this is hard, I don't feel worthy to begin with .....I don't want to get into it.
My first bday present popped up this morning and I would like to share it.

re: birthdays
When you are the mom, you are the one who plans birthday celebrations so it seems that you get left out when it's time for yours!! I handle this by planning my own party and telling people what I want . . . or sometimes I say, 'hey, this is what you're getting me for my bday' and just get it myself.

great idea journey!
You are so right about birthdays for us Mamas! I think if you set in your mind ahead of time that others are used to following our lead, then you won't feel bad or take it as personally - just tell them as you said and you won't set yourself up for disappointment since they always forget! Plus I like what i pick out better usually anyway :)
Happy Birthday!
I can't do the fancy graphics that BGG offered you but I wish you the best on this day, and all days.

Happy Bday Vic :)
I know Birthdays can be emotionally challenging...a time to reflect and most of us here will see the negative before the positive. I just want to encourage you and send you a BIG birthday hug and let you know how beautiful, strong, caring, wise and very worthy you are - your words never fail to inspire and bless me - you are overcoming and making progress and the enemy hopes you don't see it - but you are changing just like your wonderful starter says!
I got myself a phone for my bday too :-) This song has been blessing me and I wanted to share it with you today... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2WAQITmiBU
I love the butterflies
IYou always know..
thanks,
Vic
