    yb44, Thanks for sharing about your daughter. I know it is said that mothers know how to push their children's
    buttons but I also think children know how to press their mother's buttons, especially daughters.

    I am sure in one way the decision of your daughter made was not easy for you. Somehow, some of the
    things our children do can hurt and feel insensitive on their part but I do believe we have to allow
    them to mature even if it hurts a bit. We are so fortunate to have children.

    And, yes I am going to learn to be a free- spirited teenager again. I think when our children grow up
    we need to do a paradigm shift in our thinking to propel us into new adventures in living. I am so
    imaging and creating who I want to be right now. It takes work though because this is a whole new
    season, I have no experience with. I am going to have fun exploring this new phase of my life.

    GR, I guess I do like the telephone. Just not when I'm watching a good movie.
    And I can't get my phone to ring more than 4 times.
    If I can't get to the phone (in my home office) fast enough, the call cuts off.
    I don't have an answering machine anymore.

    But my phone takes messages so I can learn who called.

    So many calls are for buying this or that. I get tired of getting up to answer them.

    Eric)- This is it, Visualizations and Mindfulness.. Etc...
    It works very well, I know - I Know.

    I have a book I've only read a few pages out of
    on visualizations but I've seen it in all the books of wisdom.

    How to see with your heart, your minds eye, your being ya know
    and then actually visualize it like its happening and real, very surreal at times.

    I love it. I do it about 2- 3 times a week on the imagination ,
    visualizations- but really im thinking about it all day so that makes for progress.
    I have been really working this area of my life-
    and im proud to say, so far- its all worked perfect:)

    Hi, My Dear Friends,
    I want you to let you know I am doing much better. I, also, am not so stressed the symptoms
    moved. I took everyone's advise and put it into practice. It is so great to have a cheerleading
    squad behind you. Everyone, you were the glue I needed to stay on track.

    It is amazing I made a major turn around this week for the better. I am so grateful!!!! I actually
    did try to be like a teenage this week. I had a friend visit for four days. I had friends over
    Mon., Tues., and had a women's prayer group at my house today. I usually eat pretty health
    but tonight when I was alone I ate these root vegetable chips while I lounged on my couch;
    boy did that feel good. I don't usually drink but I think I am going to have a beer. Yahoo!!
    It feels so good to have taken some time off of work and just enjoy myself.

    I have to say it felt so healing being around so many people who loved me this week. I think
    for me, the secret for contentment during the week is to get together with some friends which
    I don't usually do during the week. I usually just do that on the weekends.

    I have been continuing working on the program in the book, Unlearn Your Pain by Schrubiner.
    I am just sticking to this one program and really enjoying learning from it and journaling.
    I am actually having fun with it; although every time I do the journaling, I am so crying, like a baby!!!!!!!
    It feels so good; like cleaning myself out from all kinds of emotions I did not know were there.

    Thanks for listening everyone and being there for me. I love all of you all so much. You really make
    a difference in my life.
    G.R.

    Oh, I forgot to tell you that I went to the gym today and getting physical when
    you were use to it really helped. I wish I had not stopped all my exercising when
    I did. It is so stress relieving. I loved just walking the treadmill again and doing
    all the weights, etc. Will talk to you soon, Nancy

    Im so glad you took all the advice. The acting like a teenager advise too. It may seem silly cause were all so grown up and all but if you really think about it - well it works and that's what matters.

    I love your list , the way you laid out what you did to get to feeling better. Im fixing to copy it and put it on my desk top. I have to everyday stay in the zone and continuously learn so ill be ready at all times to take a big dive out the window of an air plane just in case that was to ever happen and also it really helps me stay in control. You are awesome GR
    Bless you
