Checking in daily to maintain focus #29

Thank you, Fleur. You’re right, he probably just picked up a card. I know I’m a good mom and I don’t need a stupid card to tell me what I already know.

Day 314.
Got to visit my sweet Mama, she’s back in her care centre after surgery. (They’re not open to visitors but in this case - with Mom post-op, I get to see her this week). What can I say? She’s a trooper.

I got us a special-theme colouring book (yep, I’m 50) for when we hang out together this week. I sat on her bed and started this one :point_down: while we chatted away. But my Mom has the biggest sharing, caring heart of anyone I know - so I know if we lived down the block from you @Lisa07, she’d sneak down and pop it in your mailbox!

I’m beat, but happy, and beyond happy to be sober.
Let’s call it a win, yeah? I’m game for a replay tomorrow. :wink:
G’night all, big huge love. :orange_heart:

Day 25.
For the first time in weeks I’ve worked up ready to do my early morning pilates. I’d been doing this for about 3 months before things got difficult. So it feels good to have the enthusiasm for it again.

Hi @Lisa07 agree with @littlemisschatterbox the “special” days should be gone, think appreciation should be shown in actions, we should not need these commercial days. I bet your husband did not read the words in the card, not great and can imagine your hurt… To your daughter you are everything and that demonstrates more than some poxy card how amazing you really are…:100::bouquet::rose:

Day 966
I had a crappy mothersday. Sad emotions about my mother not being around anymore. She passes away 16 years ago by breastcancer.
We left our hotel yesterday and took my mother in law to her 2th covid vaccin and went home afterwards.
Because my 3 children had to work at mothersday we gonna celebrate it next thursday. My kids are going to make a high tea for me, I like that. But yesterday felt empty and sad because they were not there and I missed my mom.


Photo is from my early walk yesterday before we went home. It’s such a beautiful environment there :green_heart:
Have a great day all of you! Going to make a small walk before work, I need one!

I agree with you @Hopeful777, appreciation needs to be shown randomly, when it’s felt not because the calendar says to do it. You’re right, he probably never read the card. It was something he knew he had to get done and grabbed whatever was there. Thank you very much for your kind words.

Thank you @SoberWalker. That hug is greatly appreciated. I’m sorry for the difficult day not having your mom to celebrate with and I’m sending a big hug :hugs:

Hi virtual hug, Mother’s days are empty when our own are not here. My Mum passed away 5 years ago from the same disease, its difficult… I do hope your walk lifted you, and you looking forward to Thursday :sunflower::cherry_blossom:

  1. Late coffee. Back to the real world today. Working a late shift with, to start it off, a tough meeting concerning the most difficult resident as its subject. In the meantime the restaurant on my little square is building a big canopy over its outdoor space for which they don’t have a permit yet. It will make for much more visitors outside, much more noise and much more general nuisance. So I have to contact the council and try to put a stop to this. I don’t like that but I will.
    Otherwise I feel rested and pretty good. I had my time out and now I’m ready to face the world again. Clean and sober. Have as good a week as you all can friends. Sober and clean is a good start to that. Love from my little square where the trees are -slowly and cautiously- finally starting to leave out.

    @Lisa07 Hugs to you friend. You’re a great mum.
    @SoberWalker sorry you missed your mum so much. Hugs for you too.
