Daily Check In Space

Re: Daily Check In Space

1) I'm feeling a "3". Stuck and feel I have no options or choices. Normally I like to move to a solution or fix a problem. But I can't make any moves now until my wife makes her choice.

 

2) I have struggled with guilt and grief. I feel responsible for the situation, although I know I did my best (could have been better).
The one thing I have done well is spend time with family and giving hugs.

 

3) One nice thing I can do for myself today is enjoy the sunshine and be grateful for my kids support for me.

Thank you @Tinker67 

Re: Daily Check In Space

How I am feeling ... about 3

Problem: Got a bit cranky with one of son's team.  Probably not good, but I am so so so tired of being patient and doing the right thing.  Not sure of what is being a good advocate for his needs and what is being a pushover.  

Self Care: Have a long shower and put on lotion.

Re: Daily Check In Space

Hi @Shaz51   Hmmmm about a 5 today. Christmas Day looming and knowing another year without my girl with us is a struggle. So did what I do when feeling this way and drove to the ocean early to float. Bunkered down for the afternoon to avoid the hot weather. Christmas is definitely not my favourite time of year and am truly relieved when it passes. 

Re: Daily Check In Space

Sending you lots of tender hugs my friend @Krishna 

I wish my children were around too but looks like I will not see any of them this Christmas xoxo

It has been very hot up here all week 

Re: Daily Check In Space

It's hard isn't it @Shaz51 not having your kids around at Christmas. Hoping to see my son in February which will be lovely. Has been 2 years due to Covid. Very hot here also and more of the same over the coming days. Stay cool my friend. 🥰

Re: Daily Check In Space

@Appleblossom  I am about a 6. Is boiling hot here will be a long night.

6 is not too bad.  Feelings can shift so much.  Good you are better than yesterday. 

I have had more of a 5 day.  Had a bit of anger Not really sure about using numbers for feelings because I am still struggling to identify high energy which is different to joy which is not as energetic as anger.  My confusions around energy, anger at self and anger at others are tricky for me.  Sometimes high energy is good but sometimes it is anger  and goes to my neck and I feel drained when it is done.

I did go for a beach walk and did my gardens, which was good for me.

Re: Daily Check In Space

@Appleblossom  Hi Apple 🙂 yes thank you I am much better today but I still want my post up.on Monday. I will be very upset again if it is not, Your dealings with you own anger sounds tricky. I am happy that past times such as gardening and taking a walk on the beach distracts those feelings. You are a good ladyHeart
