Journal Entry for May 17, 2008 Mood

I had a good day yesterday. I received a much-unexpected phone call from one of the people (Michelle) who used to be in the Anxiety Group with me. When that group ended, we agreed to maintain our friendship that had developed throughout several months. Since then, we have exchanged some phone calls and letters.

During the last couple of months, I have been unable to reach Michelle, which had left me concerned about her. I had been upset and worried about this, which was part of the reason for my bad mood lately. Now that I know she is alive, I feel much better. We had a bad phone connection, but I think she was telling me that she and her husband were splitting up, and that she would also be changing her phone number. She promised to make sure that I got her new number.

I would like to see her on and off during the summer, just to continue our friendship. I am not sure how to do this, since I have never had to do something like this before now. It would be nice if some of my DS friends would give me some of their suggestions. Hint!

Yesterday was also good because I picked up an additional 24 hours this week. That came about because I had mixed up the days and thought that yesterday was today. It took a while for my CNA to get my mind straightened out on this, but when it finally registered, I was much happier because I knew that I could get more things done than I had up until then.

The one thing that I really wanted to do, and had been thinking about for quite some time, was to start another Group here at DS. With two other groups already under my belt, I feel that I learned the basics of how to create and develop a good site, which will attract a larger audience than my other groups.

Late last night, I informally opened up my new group -- Pampered Pets. It is open to anyone who has had a pet in the past, has one now, or plans on having one in the future, as well as those people who just like pets. There will be plenty of room for pictures of pets, and a discussion area. I invite all of my friends and Daily Strength members to visit and join this site.

Although the site is open, there is still work to be done on it. Positive support, constructive criticism, and suggestions are welcome.

Quotes for Success:

“Success: willing to do what the average person is not willing to do.”

Lots of suggestions for your friend, but patience is first since she's going through such a big life change. Don't assume her not contacting you is about you. She will most likely begin juggling many plates... You may make plans and she may have to cancel suddenly. So if you wind up being out of your house before you find out, have an alternative plan for your time out.

I am in Pampered Pets! Will get to posting later, as I'm disobeying chiro's orders being here now.

Weeble hugs and Mojo!
