I complain non-stop. I have to stop and start thinking ahead, to try and find the silver lining, to make myself happy and stop RSD from taking my life completely so I think I'll start this thread.

Please, everyone post happy, daily/weekly/monthly/yearly goals or accomplishments. Post the silly things that happen that make you smile, please share with all of us so we can share in your happiness, etc


My kids make me happy (some days), and they have to get ready for their dairy goats to kid. This time, we have two does that are expecting and are super excited. This will be our second year of kidding - the first year we only had one doe pregnant, and one baby. This year, our "first official farm" baby is expecting! We are starting the count-down now, as our older doe is expecting within a few weeks.

Last year, I did the milking. I didn't have the problems in my arms and hands as I do now. After my Dec 2010 SCS implant with paddles, the RSD spread or flared (whatever the doctors call it), so my goal this month is to be able to milk Snow. I posted a few pictures of my critters in the photo gallery so you can see them.

My goal for today is to make sure I have all my information for when my attorney calls tomorrow regarding my SSI claim. I have to get all my surgeries, my treating doctors, my previous doctors and my meds.

My other goal is to have completed this week - my kids are in a new 4H club this year that I helped start. We are applying for a start-up grant so I have to get this written out, approved by our club and then hopefully approved by the 4H Grant Council.

Anyone else want to share? Maybe it will help us accomplish these goals, as well as share our happy events/thoughts.
