Enig, Ouch!
Its hard to live in the moment, but i try so much. Its one of those things that annoy me, i could sit here and think about the past and get pissed off like you. All the different scenarios go through my head, but nothing changes by my thinking about it, all i can do is learn from it.
Think about the future and "guess" what might happen, all that happens is that i frighten myself.
I cant stop things happening in the future, i can only learn how to deal with them differently by what i learned about thinking about the past!
I read an article in a magazine its ok to think about the past and the future, but dont dwell on it too long! It said sit down and say to yourself "Right i'm going to give myself 10 mins to "think" and then i'm going to get on with things"

Off to work in a bit like you

hugs

The only time I think about the past is in the positive ....good memories or how those bad ones have change and shaped me for the better.

No plans for the day. Dh took off to pick up an unexpected load that paid really well. I hope he does ok taking off right after a chemo treatment like that.

Sons last soccer game was last night ...we win 6-2! They won every game this year. They were pretty excited:) undefeated. And let me tell you that is really something for this small school!!!

Have a good day everyone.

enigma, sorry the treatment was so painful, but it sounds like you got a lot of relief. glad you have that meditation group and feeling the results in your life and attitude. living in the present takes a lot of work. it's good to hear you sounding so much happier!

empathy, hope your day at work goes well. i like your approach of allowing yourself to reflect but not dwell.

dixie, how great about their last game! hoping dh feels up to the run he's on. hope you have a good day, too.

i slept well and have no signs of that bothersome headache that's gotten to me the last two days. fingers crossed. really want to do a few things around here today and spend some time in the sun. just that much will be plenty for me.

hope you each enjoy your day!

Good morning girls,

Angela, sorry about the pain from the botox. However I sure hope that it is giving you relief from the migraines.
I have went through them years ago. However after menopause was done a few years ago they come on much less.
I still take imitrex when I feel one starting and it gets rid of it right away.
I also know that meditation helps as I do it once a day.


Empathy, I really agree with what you said.
The only thing to do about the past is to learn from it and let it go.
Also yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come for all of us but we do have today to make the best of our life that we can!!

Kim, I sure hope that all went good with dh in the truck after his chemo yesterday.
How exiting about finishing the soccer season undefeated!!

Serenity, I am glad that you got to sleep last night.
Enjoy the sun… we have a snow storm watch for Thur night into Fri when I am supposed to take my FIL to a important doc appointment.

Today I go to check on the bronchitis. and if I am up to it I must pick up a few things at the grocery store.
Pain is enough to put up with and then add this on top of it :(

Hugs all

cindi, i'm so glad you're going to check on the bronchitis. this has been bothering you too long. sorry there's another possibility of a snow storm. we'll just get thunderstorms. i hope you can get FIL to the appt safely.
hope you're felling better very soon!

Angela ouch on the Botox injection. Glad it is working though. My doctor discussed it once for my occipital neuralgia but a nerve block works wll for for me. My migraines don't hit on daily basis like yours does. Bless you. I don't know how you function. The meditation group sounds a very good thing for you to stay on the positive side. We all must do so.

Dix I am thinking your T is a tough and determined guy. That is certainly in his favor. In my thinking his going out on a run means he is fighting this cancer and saying it won't win. He knows his body and if he is pushing too hard and in pain and you get that message over the phone I know it breaks your heart but he has to be the one to decide. Hopefully he won't say. Yay for the soccer team. How is your mouth?

Empathy wishes up for the day to go fast for work. That time will fly by and you will be back home before you know it.

Serenity enjoy that sunny day. We are cloudy and storms are brewing.

On past and future....my memories of past are always good. The good has always outweighed the bad. It is like my mind just wiped out the bad and allows me to see all those picture perfect moments in my life. There are so many. As far as the future is concerned I have for the past five or six years taken on "a one day at a time" attitude. It gets me through the day. I believe it is useless to worry and expend energy on worry for tomorrow. I enjoy the day I am in and am most thankful for it. Often the day brings glorious surprises. I don't have to plan for them. They just roll in. Just like the granddaughter's sleepover.

love and peace
hippy

Checking in...hugs and clucks
