Got my own breakfast! (First time in a while). These are the steps I need. :)

I’m going to try an experiment today and not think or use the word “symptoms” (or any equivalent) all day.

Went to the park and then got an ice cream cone today. Good baby step! :)

Riding gently over the ups and downs. Floating along. Everything’s OK. I’m OK! :)

On a roll! Did all the dishes last night and tidied up around the kitchen. (it’s hard for me.) I’m proud!

Exercise therapy through your avg daily tasks! 20 min. cooking dinner; 10 min. dishes :)

Home from my trip. Faced it all! Feeling amazing. The only monster in the closet is your own fear.

“Power is TMS' archenemy.” @feduccini

Changed my avatar to a white wolf—an imaginary friend who is helping me to fight fear. :)

I’m at the beach! I made it! :)

White light today—makes the new leaves glow neon green against black rain-soaked tree trunks. Silent beauty that takes my breath away. ❤️

Each of my kids gave me a vase of flowers for Mother’s Day. I LOVE flowers! I could look at them all day long!

Sometimes progress is hard to see with TMS. But I’m finding if you look carefully, you will see it.

Woke up today with a case of “I don’t care.” I just don’t care anymore if I have TMS. Got places to go, people to see, things to do!

If I keep going forward, not buying into what my TMS dishes out, I’ll get clear of this. However long it takes—that’s what it takes.
