Well, ladies...another week has come and gone. Let's take a minute and pat each other on the back for making it through! Time to think about some of the positive things you've done for this this week...
1. have you learned anything, and what is it?
2. what positive thing(s) have you done for YOURSELF?
3. list some things you're proud of urself for doing.

my answers
1. good things come to those who wait
2. swam twice to feel better, I will get a hair cut today
3. went shopping, took mom to food bank, cooked for hrs in the kitchen putting together a damn good meal (all that in the SAME day); gave support and good advice to my bf about his military career

So, let's hear some of your positive thoughts... :)

Awesome! The thing I notice about many people in this group is that most give and give forsaking themselves. I guess it comes with the responsibilities of having families and so on. but I would like to see more of you do something for yourselves. I also observe that there are many negative comments that come our way from the people in our lives and it tends to discourage us. So we definitely need to stop and rethink all the good things we have done as givers, and realize we are deserving human beings! And the truth is that we are NOT useless, we are put through a lot everyday. And we should reassure ourselves and each other as well, more often beyond this suffering...that the truth is known among us (fibrenes) and God...we need to take care of ourselves as well!

1. Learned just how low I had gone with fatigue (now that I'm coming out of it).
2. Been focusing on my treatment plan.
3.Went to Starbucks last night where 3 former students greeted me enthusiastically. That made me feel good for having that much relationship with these young people.
