Hi
1. 2
2. I struggle with guilt for my adult addicted son, I can not grasp why:
One thing I do well is be compassionate, and stay connected although sometimes I am afraid of the abuse.
3. Talk to my Grandchildren 😍

Good morning everyone,
1) How are you feeling?
You can use a scale of 1-10 (1= really bad , 10= really good), if you would like to.
This morning I want to say that I am feeling a strong 8. I had a very good sleep last night.
2) What is one thing you have struggled with, and one thing you have done well?
This is a very interesting question and I look forward to answering it.
One thing I struggled with: I struggled a lot with missing my best friend. My best friend (of 9 years) has been overseas on holiday with her mum and dad for 10 months now. I had a very hard cry over missing her a few nights ago. This is because I haven't seen her once this year in person.
One thing that I have done well:
This is such an easy one to answer also. I believe one thing that I did very well is applying for a new job. I am currently waiting to hear back.
3) What is one nice thing you can do for yourself today?
I think this will be many things indeed, I don't want to be restricted to one at all.
1. Go to the library
2. Listen to some music while I study at the library.
3. Have a shower.
4. Read.
5. Write.

Hi @Shaz51
Nice to hear from you. I am doing really well today also thank you.
It is a good idea to take an umbrella! Currently it is raining very heavily off and on for me today and so because of all this rain I am simply choosing to stay indoors.
Sorry to hear about your hips and back, I hope they feel much better and soon! Maybe it is the weather as I know my best friend is currently down with a cold at the moment.

@Jake63 hope you are in a flood free area
Have a few physical problems, so resting now
Staying inside sounds good
Any plans for the weekend
