I I love little sayings. I had a cool holder on my dresser that I could put a new saying in everyday. Now I have set up a similar concept in my kitchen.

Today's saying is: Failing to Plan, is Planning to fail. I am hoping my son thinks about this. :)

Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful week.
Hugs-RJ

Thats a great saying RJ. I'll have to remember that one.

Will check out the pinterest page Jordan's mama. Your daughter is precious.

Thank you Lisa and RJ :) sending happy vibes your way today!

cool Hugs

Great deal A. signed on and I believe now your follower. I have never been a "pin it" girl" however I believe a Nana can learn a few new media lessons and gain. Information is knowledge. Knowledge is power.

Thank you good friend for leading us in a positive direction.

Yay, Hippyone!

Made me so happy to hear you likes it! Hope you continue to enjoy it!

Your page is great. I love stuff like that and I believe those are the things that help us cope. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Dragonflylady!

I completely agree that this kind of stuff does help us cope...looking at all that stuff, especially the first time, gave me a weird sense of security...like thank goodness at least one other human being gets it so maybe I'm not a total crazy person!

I actually wasn't posting that link to specifically share my page (or board as its called in Pinterest land) but rather just to give examples of the incredible stuff you can find there. There's SOOOOO much more on Pinterest similar to stuff on my board and probably even more if you search on your own and just poke around to find more things -- Pinterest is like a giganticly simple to navigate spider web where you can find pins on top of pins linked to other pins you like that are associated with more pins you might like that may lead you to someone else's board that is helpful to you -- and so goes the interesting and exciting spider web that is Pinterest :)

Such a great way to just pass time and really help distract your mind from it's usual pain of pain...hope you go have fun with it!

I like that a lot. Thank you for the link. It's amazing how much we all have in common when it comes to our pain. It is so all encompassing! Nice to know we are not alone or crazy just trying to find relief.

I don't do pinterest but the 19-20 yr olds who live nearby who do like it and do it. I set it up quite a while back to keep them occupied and they have fun with it, and they play with my phone doing pins. I laugh that they are having a good time with it. For myself, I just don't have much interest, but, on the other hand, I'm glad for you that you do enjoy it. If it gives you a bit of relaxation, then by all means, go for it! I think it's pretty cool that you like it. So, enjoy!

Maybe you could possibly consider learning to play a musical instrument, which does have far more redeeming qualities, and really, your lovely daughter would love that too. Or consider learning a new language and teach the words to your daughter too? For myself, those things are not only a great brain exercise, but are usable and will increase brain power for the long haul. I enjoy learning languages.

That's just my take on it. But if you enjoy it? Do it. Enjoy!
Hugs, and wishing you low pain days too.

Wow moment here, I had to go look at my Pinterest after posting here a day or so ago. I learned that many other pinners pin to my boards because of my settings the allow others to pin was on! I don't know what I think of that? There is one board that is my favorite though. I might have to be doing some more pinning now, as I really want to add to that board, and I was amazed there were so many pins available in that category. Just downright amazing, I thought! I got lost in pinner land for a bit, but I got things to do! Back to work for me now. LOLZ....too funny!

Thanks, to you causing me to get lost in pinner land. I see why it's addicting for you now. Time moves too fast when you got things to get done.

WhyNPain2, so glad you got some enjoyment out of it! Definitely mindless distraction...but I think that's why it so addicting! Hope you continue to have fun with it!

I loved your link I have felt the same way. It helped me to know that I'm not alone and it is normal.to.feel.this way through our struggles, thank you for posting this it helped.me out so much. angela

Well, the pinning lasted less than a day, more like an hour. I have things to do everyday and pin is not one of them as mindless distraction is not my cup of tea. I live in the moment of each day of life doing what I do and without desiring any distractions. So, I'll leave it up to the girls to have their fun and check it out every now and again. But I did change the settings for them, so other pins can't be added to boards without my or their consent. I haven't been back since that day. I'm just not interested in it enough to keep up with it. I don't get the Twitter or the Instagram thing either, but the younger generation does.

Sorry, if you feel I am being the partie poopers, as I'm not trying to be, but if you like it, and find it fun like it is for you, and it is a popular thing in the mainstream, then by all means, enjoy it.

Hugs, and well wishes. Enjoy pinning.

WhyNPain,

No worries! I wish that more meaningful distractions could work for me...maybe I'm just weird but the little energy I have left -- after #1 being a mommy the best I can...then after just hanging on here (I'm sure that sounds very dramatic but I promise I'm just speaking honestly here) I just look for something simple to get through the rest of the time. I feel embarrassed about it even when I don't say it out loud...definitely wish I was stronger to mentally cope better...I just feel pretty exhausted at this point in the game. Oh well...to each their own!
