That's the nice thing about quotes! Although there are SOME people who shall remain NAMESLESS who change quotes! That where that famous saying came from --- Here, FIFY! And Poof! It's fixed! LOL!

Yeah, Sal, I know exactly what you mean. Last year was the beginning of a new beginning for me! One step at a time. Lots of potholes along the way. Here's hoping that 2008 is a lot better for all of us!

Cheers!

My big thing is getting beyond disappointments, gotta lower the expectations, I guess.

Here, watch this:

Love that baby...Lol.

I know, I know....One day at a da mn time. Thats what I've been doing, but I would like to look forward to doing something good...just once..Bah!!

I am thankful for every day He gives me. That is my morning prayer.."Thank you for this day."

I guess I'm just getting old and cranky.:o

Thanks All..:grouphug:

I hear you loud and clear, Sally, and was going through the same thought process the night before last and yesterday. Must be the time of year or something. :confused:

I fell down a flight of stairs a few months back, just as the PT and massages I had been getting seemed to be helping the back pain I already had. That put me back several months, and I am SO tired of being SO sore. Every minute of the day (when I'm not sleeping) is a challenge, and when that goes on for a long, it can be very discouraging.

You are a trouper for putting up with this for so long, and keeping your spirit at most times. One day at a time is sometimes too long to consider, so how about 10 minute intervals? :D

Loved that lil video, AMN~ Babies have such control over us "grown ups" and they don't even know it.

That's all we can do Sal. It's also my new motto. One day at a time and one step at a time. Keeping a sense of humor is our way of dealing w/the downsides of being unwell.

Cherie~ sorry you are having such pain. I have alot of back issues, so understand your plight. I fell at my DD's in Nov and haven't had a day w/o back pain since. When you take those 10 min intervals, I'll bring the popcorn. Butter??? ;)

:Sob: Woke up in the middle of the night and had an anixety attack.
Took my meds and things finally calmed down. I went to bed in a very down mood. Rembering that this coming Saturday would have been our 45th anniversary and Jan. l7th would have been hubby's birthday.

This time of the month used to be a joyest time after christmas. It was like keeping the celebration on for another month. But since his death these two months are the hardest for me.

But I am happy to say that after I woke up this morning I started to feel like something gave me a kick in the butt and said to go on and stop this pity feeling. I am, I am going to try and take each day one at a time.


The only thing is that this MS and FIBRO, HEART,LUNGS, EYES keep me from keeping that promise to myself. With the pain and all the other problems that go with it just makes me crawl into that black hole again.

Got to keep my faith going and trust that there is a good reason for this to be happening and all will be well.

Made it this far since dx 1984.

Love to all my cyper family :hug: We will make 2008 a great year.

Man Joyce,

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with these feelings. I know it's hard to keep going but that is the only way to go....................forward and try and be positive. NOT positive your "down" :rolleyes:but positive that things will get better or more tolerable.

You and Sally seem to have much in common and I really respect both of you for coming here day in and day out and actually spreading your spirit of light and hope to the rest of us.

Well, I refuse to get maudlin about the time of year or my circumstances. I want you both to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and it is NOT a train. It's your cyber friends with a lantern to show you the way out. We're all in this together and we will leave no one behind.

"Rejoice in the day the Lord has given." I think that's how it goes. ;)

Joyce and Sally.............:hug::grouphug:

Hi Joyce~~ No more black holes for you.

*putting shovel back in shed after filling that nasty hole in*

You have so much on your plate, but like Craig said, quite well in fact, you always manage to come here and are always willing to help others.

One day at a time and as a wise OLD *very OLD* (AMN) friend told me....

Don't waste one day that the Lord gives us.

You just hold your memories near and dear and remember the good ones, then SMILE~:).

Your'e a peach, Joyce!!! :hug:

Get out of that hole, now!!!!!! We need you!:)

SallyC 01-05-2008 07:20 PM

Hey Chris..:) Hi Honey, how was your Holiday? Good, I hope. We missed you on our cruise.

I'm feeling a bit better about things, since a great friend reached out to me, here. She made me feel that I am loved and needed and really matter. Thanks Cindy..:hug:

And All..:grouphug:

SallyC 01-06-2008 01:04 PM

This is the twelveth Day of Christmas and also the 4th anniversary of DH's passing. I am sitting here....just me and a bottle of M&R Asti Spumanti.:p

My DD and rug rats came over and DD knew why.:)

My DH's namesake, Johnny, for some reason clung to me and didn't want to go home with Mommy. It was like ....he Knew. Usually he's the first one out the door..LOL.

DH always brought me a bottle of Asti, to celebrate....This bottle was a Christmas present from his Son, John...weird, huh?

Carry On...:grouphug:
