    Morning, afternoon and evening, my friends,

    JanetR     - I always love to see your before and afters--I know how much work and emotion went into that journey, how hard it is to achieve being that person you were meant to be, and how hard it is to stay there. Also loved "choose your hard." Kind of awesome.

    On minimalism

    I think that it's a concept that is very individual--my idea of minimalism and yours probably aren't the same. I've been inadvertently minimalist (divorce, moving into a 5th-wheel), and inadvertently maximist when I was married to the military, and they will move anything from one assignment to another--they'll pack up and move your trash can full of garbage if you don't get it out of the way on moving day.

    My honest opinion is that people usually place too much value on stuff in general. There are two things in my house that belonged to my mother that matter to me, and two small boxes of things that my husband has taken everywhere we go that matter to him, and the rest is... stuff. It doesn't bother me that it's there, but I wouldn't miss it if it was gone...

    That said, I also have a maximum limit in terms of furniture in a room--and if there are one too many pieces in a given space, I get quite uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I never know where that limit is until I exceed it.

    :smiley:

    On word of the year/theme for the year:

    I liked "still" as a word for the year, but am even more pleased with "no," and that's the one I'm sticking with. In particular, the negative tapes that spin inside my head often need me to say "no, that's not true" as necessary. Also known as "warting," as in being a worrywart.

    For instance, was trying to get hold of my sister over the end-of-year break, and her phone number said she was "unreachable." Reached out to my youngest niece, who lives with her, no answer. I ran every scenario in my head from my sister being dead and her children forgetting to let me know to my sister being mad at me for something I didn't know I said and casting me into the outer darkness and blocking my phone number. Finally reached out to my older niece, and she said no, her mom's phone had been off for a bit (probably didn't pay the bill, but I didn't ask), and everyone was OK.

    I also do the same thing over my own health, my husband's health, the fact that Egg (the cat) is getting fat, whether or not y'all have checked in recently, whether my children have touched base with me, etc. I send my children a "just checking to make sure you're still alive," text after a couple of weeks. They think it's funny. I think it's all exhausting--and it's time I said "no" to worrywarting - it is genuinely wasted energy if there ever was, because it does not change the situation in the slightest.

    Whoo, didn't know I had that much to say this early in the morning!
    Later, y'all,
    Lisa in Arkansas

    Janetr - I LOVE looking at your pics. So inspiring. <3
    I'm not 100%with the hard post though. I think it can be hard work getting to the good place, but once you are there it becomes second nature and it's not hard anymore, just a good habit.
    One thing that can still be a little hard for me is keeping communication lines open. I still have to work on that one from time to time. But I do know when there is the slightest tangle and I try to correct it as soon as possible. The smoother the lines are, the more you notice the slightest kink.
    Years ago I did a personal development course over four years and that helped me more than anything to pursue an authentic way of living. It helped me draw boundaries, speak truth, simplify things and know when I have gone off course. It didn’t shield me from pain, that comes with life, but enabled me to be more self aware and to experience how good life feels when you are living "intentionally" as Barbie puts it. (Thanks for the compliment, Barbie) :D
    Climbing out of a hole you have dug for yourself can be hard work and life always has brickbats to throw at you, but taking responsibility for our own choices can transform our lives.
    Plus, we can always change our attitude. :D<3

    Much love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Greetings from SFL.

    It has been a lovely 3-day weekend. The weather starts off cool in the mornings (around 70’ish) with a slight breeze and then warms to the 80s. Yes, I am completely spoiled here in SFL. The air conditioner kicked on for the first time on Thursday.

    Today will be a day of some chores. Laundry, general pick up, light dusting, taking down the Christmas lights, cleaning the master bathroom, and possibly washing the car. I will certainly miss the Christmas lights.

    Every year the reps pull together money and send restaurant gift cards to all of the office staff. I figured with it being such an unusual year (they typically distribute them during the annual holiday party) they would forgo the tradition. What a big surprise it was to receive an email saying we were all receiving $130 to request as an electronic gift card to any place we would prefer. I selected Amazon dreaming of all of the books I could read throughout the year. After much thought I decided I would order a puzzle board since I have been enjoying putting them together (the second one is almost done – more on that later). I have been using the kitchen counter which makes for cooking challenges. The puzzle board will make it much easier to move around the house – heck I could puzzle while watching TV in bed! LOL. It isn’t something I would spend my own money on since it’s a little expensive, but felt it was OK to buy with gift money. 😊

    Tracey – I am sure your hubby could put this together in an hour to two. I considered it but would have had to buy some additional tools….. Love the baby doll bunk beds. Adorable!!

    csr28h25lgh3.png

    Lisa – So glad to see you more frequently posting. I have missed you. I think many have the same retirement adjustment. “No”, very appropriate!

    Michelle – The trees are lovely. Wow, what a ton of work to do. I think if I were to do that at my house the trees would stay up year round.

    Barbie – Thank you for posting Gretchen Rubin’s goal versus resolution. It brought some light as to why I may not be maintaining my weight over the years. I have always set a “goal” weight. I must shift my paradigm. Aw, I want to send Jake a big hug. Darn kids!! I so agree with dealing with one’s emotions prior to decluttering/downsizing/etc.

    Janetr – Did you build another snowperson with all of that snow? 😊 Beautiful picture.

    Betsy – Happy birthday!!

    Katla – Wow, 3001 days in a row!

    Flea – I can completely understand your mixed feelings about your niece. I hope with more time you are completely able to shift your feelings towards her (even though she has made/makes some bad decisions).

    Debbie – Happy birthday!!

    Heather – I am so happy you were able to have a visit with the grands even if from a distance. Yeah, Johnny cooking!

    Beth – Maybe start with another room? 😊

    Machka – Just reading your goals makes me tired! Although, when I think about it I have separate lists spread about and if I were to pull them together I would probably have a book too. I limit my self to the calendar (reminders and such about doctor’s appointments, birthdays, etc.), a goal spreadsheet, and a work to-do list. I will also write a home to-do list when things start piling up.

    Barbara – It’s interesting…I finally pulled myself out of the pre-holiday funk and told myself I am in control of my situation. Reaching out to my work friend was really my way of taking control of feeling isolated, but in turn found I was also helping someone else.

    Rebecca – You are so creative, making your own envelopes and your creative recycling!

    Interestingly enough I have been using the box method for years. Back in my early 20s I was getting so tired of dusting so many knickknacks I decided to box everything up with labels. If I missed the item I would take it out, if not I would give it away or donate it. Charlie and I did the same thing when we first joined two very well-furnished homes. Our home had the best from either house along with our personal stuff. We boxed everything else, numbered each box, and each box had a detailed index card. The boxes were put into storage. If we pulled something out we put a date next to the item on the index card. At the end of a year we got rid of everything not touched more than 3 times. We got rid of a ton of stuff. It is something I continue to do, but since I do not have a ton of stuff anymore there isn’t a need to numbers and index cards.
    Every six months I go through all of my clothes. Anything that has not been worn the previous season (we have two in Florida – warm and hot) gets donated. I will no no longer buy a kitchen gadget unless it has multiple uses. My overall shopping strategy is I am either replacing something or it is a need. Yes, got the puzzle table, but that was a gift and will bring me tons of enjoyment. If I find I tire of puzzles I will sell, donate, or give it away.

    Ginny – Prayers to your SIL. TG she is aware.

    Welcome back MelodyBug!

    Whew – I am caught up. We have a busy group since the 1st. So glad to see from those we have not heard from in a while.

    Hugs to all,
    SuziQ – SFL

    First ride of the year!

    My husband does better with cycling than with walking. Although he has balance issues and feels unsteady while walking, he feels fairly confident when cycling ... but prefers quiet roads and wide paths. Busy roads unnerve him and make him feel unsteady as do narrow paths where he has to concentrate more.

    Also, although he has left leg issues, the cycling seems to allow him to compensate. His right leg goes around and then the left leg follows, more or less.


    This is a brain ... I'll put this into a spoiler because even though it is just a labelled drawing, some people don't like looking at anatomy.
    l8slatplohid.png
    34s3idobail0.png


    As mentioned earlier, my husband's main injury is to his left temporal lobe which you can see labelled in the image. It shows up on the scans as a large white patch now.
    He also has a small white patch in the frontal lobe, slightly on the right side.

    His diffuse axonal injuries are between the squiggly "grey matter" and the corpus callosum (white matter). The axons are sheared between those two areas in numerous spots and that shearing shows up in scans as tiny white flecks.

    Researchers are reasonably sure what each of the lobes is responsible for, although that may not be 100% accurate, but when little spots are damaged all over, they can't tell what exactly is damaged.

    https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318065#What-is-the-corpus-callosum
    "The corpus callosum connects the left side of the brain to the right side, each side being known as a hemisphere. The connection allows information to pass between the two halves."

    "Each side of the brain controls movement and feeling in the opposite half of the body. The hemispheres also process information, such as language.

    Therefore, physical coordination and taking in complex information requires both sides of the brain to work together. The corpus callosum acts as the connector."

    In my husband's case, we have to assume that damage has been done to the axon or area responsible for sending messages to his left leg and right arm.

    Also, both the left temporal lobe and corpus callosum are responsible for language. In my husband's case, he has trouble naming objects, colours, people etc. etc. and that gets worse the more tired he becomes, then he gets frustrated, and his brain doesn't like that so it refuses to give him his words, and he becomes more frustrated and not only can't name objects, but also can't express to me what exactly is going on. It's usually best to get him somewhere quiet as quickly as possible ... but that can't always happen, like if we need to go through a checkout line.

    There are numerous other ... symptoms? results? of his brain injury. I don't think I've ever listed them all here. But we deal with these things every day.

    And his "team" know about them ... his neuro specialists, his neuropsychologist, his rehab doctors, his GPs, his ophthalmologist and optometrist, the neurologist he sees for his epilepsy, etc. etc.. Every time he sees a new doctor or support person I prepare a document, or revise an existing document, to explain the whole situation.

    Plus I've learned more about the brain than I ever imagined I would!

    Hey all! Have I even posted on the January thread yet? lol I have been reading, though. I have been tossing around a few words to be my word this year. Intention, Move, Focus, Completion...and they all seem so exhausting to me. What does it say about me, that I am coming off a week and a half vacation and I am still exhausted? I have decided that my word for 2021 is going to be ME. At first I felt a little guilty. ME seems like such a selfish word/action for the new year. But what are our resolutions or commitments but self serving words to better our selves? I am really going to have to start putting myself on my "to do" list. Due to the type of work I do (childcare) and the fact that I do it in my home, I feel like all of my energy is used doing things for my job or my family. I can feel an emotional rock bottom, uncomfortable under my backside. I have decided to actually write in time for myself on my calendar. Seems like a simple thing to do, but it never occurred to me to make an appointment with myself. I think, if I see it scheduled on there, I would be less likely to schedule something else over it. SO...today (my last day of vacation) I am going to take 10 minutes and write down my exercise time, my meal times, and some "me" time each evening.
    Introduction- My name is KJ (Kelly), I am 54 years old/young (depends on the day), 5'8" tall and weigh 245 pounds (yea! I lost the five pounds I gained over the holidays!). I have had an in home childcare for 27 years. Married to my husband Tim for almost 32 years. We have three children; son (34), daughter (31), son (27). Daughter is married, living in Texas and has gifted us with two grandsons (ages 3 and 1). I have been in the process of growing my business and getting my group license, which will allow me to take up to 12 children. To do this, my husband has stepped up to be my assistant/partner. I am also in the process of turning my childcare into a outdoor school. Where 80% of our learning and time is spent outdoors. I am hoping to have this in full swing by June of this year. Hobbies...hmmmm...I love to read, swim, hike; Not spending much time on hobbies lately. (This is where the ME time will help). I am an extroverted introvert and an optimist. There is always a silver lining. I will pretty much always find it.
    JanetR- Everytime you post your before and after pics it is so inspiring! Thank you!
    Pip- You and Kirby look great! Love the pic of Yogi giving you a big doggy kiss! lol
    Machka-Wow! Interesting insight into thesis/dissertation work. I had a flash of myself when I was in high school. I had a few classes that I would show up for the quizzes, tests, exams to get the important grade, but then not turn in a large portion of my daily assignments. I only had one teacher that would let that slide. lol
    Karen VA amthelaldayni on instagram is where you will find the cool macrophotography!

    Cooking and food prep for the week, today! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

    I did keep moving today, I took the tree down and was going to leave the rest, but as I was sitting thinking about it, I realized if I didn’t do it today I probably wouldn’t until next weekend and that’s Rodger’s birthday. So everything is put away, except for one candy bowl, I always miss something. My regular decorations are back, I want to make a couple more furniture changes tomorrow, but the majority is done. It always looks so bare and feels so cold when I take Christmas down.

    There was always something we forgot when we would put all the Christmas up at my Dad's. He always called that the spirit of Christmas past.

    Penny! So good to see your post. You know how it goes... drop in when you can, no worries about answering everyone. And "doomscrolling" has become one of those things I'm learning to say "no," to, as well. Not useful, accomplishes nothing except making my cheese slip off my cracker AGAIN, and it's time to stop doing that. I'm getting better and better at reading the headline, but not diving in...

    Missed you!

    Dearest worrywart Lisa, my version of your "just checking to make sure you're still alive" was to flick my fingers at my kids as if sprinkling them with water and saying "Mother stuff, Mother stuff, Mother stuff". That was enough to make me feel better, and my kids (a) understood what I meant and (b) were mildly amused.

    So to Lisa and everyone else who might remember me: Yes, I'm alive! :smiley:

    Nothing really bad has happened in my life, but I've spent the past year doomscrolling. I went into a tailspin two summers ago after coming home from visiting family in New Hampshire. That was long before covid hit to exacerbate everything. :(

    Heather reached out last summer just after a man was killed by a polar bear in our town. (Thanks for not giving up on me, Heather! :flowerforyou: I started typing an answer a couple times but it felt so futile I didn't get far.) The man who was killed was sleeping in a tent at the campsite, where he was also the official host. I didn't know him at all. He moved in completely different circles (very active in online computer gaming, which I am definitely NOT). In addition, he was a seasonal worker and only came in summer, when we're usually away. Still, even though it didn't hit me personally, my anxiety levels have been through the roof and I haven't been ready to reconnect here.

    Now maybe I am. I'll take it slow and hope. :heart:

    Dear Penny,
    So good to see you posting. <3
    Sending lots of love to you . Anxiety doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason to it. It just happens. Pops its ugly little head up now and again to say, "And you thought you'd got rid of me! Ha!Ha!"
    One comfort this year is we are not alone in our angst. It's OK.
    Strangely I find that helps me. The pressure to be strong and wonderful seems to have lifted this year as so many people have been honest with their insecurities.
    I've had a good year last year, getting on with my memoir, which made me anxious in the New Year that I couldn't live up to its new promise. I could feel the pressure creeping back. I seem to have got over the worst of that.
    I really, really hope that you will feel able to pop back in from time to time and send us your missives from the top of the world. We have sorely missed you.
    <3:)<3

    Much love, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Machka: The idea that your DH is better with cycling than walking makes me wonder whether the satisfaction he has known so long from your cycling adventures has been a blessing and touch stone. He’s been through so much and he seems to have a positive attitude. I wish you both the best possible luck. :heart:

    Penny: It is a delight to see your post!!! I am sorry that you have been though a stressful time. Stress seems to have infected many of our lives these many months since the CoVID pandemic began. I hope we will hear from you more often. :flowerforyou:


    Yesterday I “undecorated” for Christmas. I still have a string of lights on our deck but the process of putting it all away is in the beginning stages. The garage is full of boxes of Christmas ornaments. There are two light strings left to unplug and put away. Once it is all back into its boxes, I will start hauling it all back up into the garage attic. I plan to get started later this morning.

    WHINE: I hope to get a message from our doctor that vaccine is available. I don’t know how long that will be. DH will likely get his vaccination long before I get mine. I am tired of lockdown. :ohwell: I suspect millions of people want to get on with life, too.

    Lisa - I can get myself worked up and go down the rabbit hole with worry too. I have learned to control it over the last few years but it still likes to sneak in from time to time.

    Suzi - I bet my husband could do it too, but he laughed. He doesn’t have as much faith in his abilities as I have.
    It’s nice when you get surprise “money” to do something with that you normally wouldn’t.

    I keep a bag in my room and as I’m trying to decide what to wear I throw things in the bag that I decide I’m not going to wear again. When the bag is full I take it to the donation centre.
    My problem is memorabilia, especially stuff that came from my parents or grandparents house. I need to cut down some more and it’s very difficult for me to do.

    Penny - it’s nice to see you, I’ve thought of you often.

    Okie - 🙂 I like your Dad’s attitude.

    It was dark in the park last night, it seems most people took their Christmas lights down yesterday. I think I’ll take out outside ones down today.
    We are going to deliver the bunk beds today, we are not to visit in another’s home but we will go in long enough to set them up, wish her a happy birthday and see her reaction. Once we are back from that I should go get some groceries and I have a Christmas gift I need to exchange.

    I was hoping to rearrange some furniture today but that may wait until next weekend.

    LaurieP: Welcome! :bigsmile:

    (((Annie in DE))): I am so sorry that your Auntie across the street has Covid. I would worry about my parents, too, if I was in your situation. :flowerforyou:

    Tracey: l have many “treasures” that once belonged to my parents. Among them are six Christmas Cactus plants. Some of them are currently blooming. I think fond thoughts of my mom every time I water them. :star:


    We have put our living Christmas tree back in its spot outdoors. I spent a good hour or so taking down Christmas lights on our deck. I have piles of boxes of ornaments in the garage and will be hauling them into the garage attic as soon as I can. This is a two-person operation/one pulley operation. One of us (me) is at the top of the ladder. DH is at the bottom of the ladder. He puts each box on the hook. I pull the box up and put it in its spot, then lower the hook for the next box. This will likely take a few hours.

    There is a bit of sunshine peeking through the clouds and I’m enjoying the view. I’ll be getting back to work right after we have breakfast.

    Have a great day.

    THESIS : 2h clocked today.
    I spent 50 minutes trying to transfer interview on android phone to macbook so I could do automatic transcription (even though I would have to review and listen). After downloading open source material and one 20 euro per year software program (7 day free trial after signing up with card) and looking lots online, it simply didn't work for unknown reason. My file was readable in its name on macbook finally after all that, but inoperable!
    So finally I spent a good hour transcribing live.
    I'm medium on typing, and I finally would skip a few words and write xxx to listen a 2nd time. it got me back in the swing.
    and I wrote to the director to answer her mail to us all from a few days ago asking who wants to present their work in 4 weeks, proposing to present my work for 15 or 20 min. That means I have to have something to present. Working on this interview is a good starting place, as I have a lot of experience on this subject and some first hand text and interview. I have to then analyse it intelligently in the context of my work and not in itself.

    Happy to have started up again!

    I procrastinated, and didn't start till 4pm!

    Grateful
    1.People on this thread and outside this thread's encouragement in working on that.
    2. Quiet mostly pleasant day today, with little walk (very cold out) a wee bit of tidying, and making some bean brownies that I mostly froze.
    3. 3 flowers, 1 candle, meditation tapes and Cbd oil on table to help me feel more calm inside.

    It's true about anxiety and so on. last summer I told my renter (who is very nice and friendly upright guy) as he was leaving, that I had felt a bit depressed during lockdown sometimes. He said he thought we all did somewhat. (I know not everyone did, but many people dealt with emotional issues and it was not a secret).

    In season 4 of the brilliant animated series "Big Mouth" there are talking mosquitos that represent anxiety: Little things with high rather fast-speaking voices, sometimes buzzing around, sometimes following one or more people, sometimes gone... An apt (and funny) metaphor.

    Now going to send a couple of mails.
    I don't think I'm going to get to insurance nor to paper corrections today.

    I might go back on the recumbent bike as I didn't get much exercise beyond pottering, and 30 min slow walk outside.

    In grad school, there were two guys whose motto was: it wouldn't be the minimum if it wasn't good enough. Lol! I aimed a little higher than that. But I also had last minute papers that could have ended more gracefully given better time management.

    I had Sunday dinner and now I am out of calories for the day. Oh well.

    I would love to be a minimalist. I have donated or thrown out a small room full of "stuff" over the past 8 months (while being "trapped" in the house with it due to COVID). However, I would still love to get rid of more. I gave away 4 boxes of books. I cannot lie, it was tough. I rarely have attachments to my stuff, but I loved having books around. Long ago, when I was in my 20s, I heard or read that children will learn and grow better if there are books around. So, I started my little library. However, since I never had kids, they just became dust collectors over time.

    Unfortunately, it's hard to give them away now. Many thrift shops I called won't take them and the libraries don't usually want them either. And, worse is that so many were technical or university texts and no one wants those. However, we will never open them again, so out they went. I did keep a few (maybe 10), but I'm sure those will eventually go too.

    It's also very difficult to get the mister to get rid of stuff. He is a clutterer and is not tidy with it and it drives me mad.

    My health, if interested:
    With my anemia, I'm still trying to exercise so I don't become a lazy blob. But, it’s a struggle. Not only am I limited in how much activity I can handle, but I am also eating more to try to drastically increase my iron stores. So, I’m gaining a bit of weight. Unfortunately, my shortness of breath is really getting me down. I thought I was getting better, but this morning, a short walk to the bathroom left me out of breath for a while. My procedure is tomorrow and I would love for it to give me a new start and my issues to dissipate. However, I’m a pessimist at heart and I am mentally planning for a very long, depressing few months and surgery in the spring or early summer.

    My new car has just over 200 miles on it (in just over a month) and the fuel gauge has not moved. I love that so much.

    As for perfection vs. completing - I heard somewhere “what do you call a graduated medical student with a D average?” Answer: “Doctor.”

    Rebecca, your envelopes are gorgeous. I get multiple calendars every year and toss all but one. I think I already tossed my used 2020 one, but will try to remember to save them for you next year.

    That’s it for now. I still have some catching up to do.

    Im sorry i havent caught up..somehow last night i pulled some muscle where my scar is and didnt sleep well.. in alot of pain.. slept some this morning.. i did take some tylenol..and am just laying low today..
    Watching great performances on Public TV and they are doing Sound of Music..... enjoying it..


    Please take it easy. Recovery takes a long time. Far too long for me, but it needs to be done.
