To express my love and friendship and my gratefulness and reverence, which all runs deep concerning the one who came to mind first. I do not know if it deepens the connection, but it is my choice which mirrors the deep truth more than anything else and beyond.
I try to ease some of my daughter’s worry/Anxiety. We had talked about celebrating her one year of sobriety quite a while ago with a day trip to Disney World but I told her today it is okay if we don’t get there in January. She had asked me to come down when she receives her one year sobriety medallion. We can plan it in the future when she is feeling more up to it.. What is most important is that she is feeling well each and every day!
This is wonderful news Robin Ann. I know how proud you will be watching her receive her one year sobriety medallion. May she continue on with her sobriety:)
Today, I ordered a small gift for my mom’s birthday tomorrow. I know that she values gathering moments with her loved ones more than receiving gifts. But since she lives in California and I’m in Minnesota, the gift is the best surprise I can send her. This year is very special because I have the opportunity to give my mom something for her birthday since I moved to the US. In previous years, I could only send her money for a dinner on her birthday as she lived in Vietnam. I’m not someone who likes expressing love through money. I would rather do something for my loved ones to create memorable moments. I hope the gift I ordered for my mom will arrive on time as estimated. I hope my mom will enjoy the gift and feel joyful.
One of my sisters sent me a text last night asking if we could have a phone call. I can’t wait to talk to her today and catch up on how they’re doing out in California. She’s pregnant with her 2nd son with only 2 months left to go, and we are all excited for the new addition!
Today I have a long day, with my work
partner/friend Marty. I will remind him
of how lucky and fortunate and yes,
grateful for his friendship and support
over these many years.
Also, I will try to find time to reach out
to a few good friends that I am
committed to staying connected to.
The people from Vietnam I talked about last month Carol also commented on are coming over today and staying for the next 6 weeks. Staying ready to interact with them is one thing I can do not just today is also one way I can show care for Ngoc. In order to give care, we must be able to receive care from all angles as mentioned on her post yesterday about Jim. One cannot give from an empty cup.
I awaken before my lovely wife Cheryl. Most mornings I go into the room 10 minutes after her calming tunes have played and give her a back rub and scratch for about 5 minutes. She rolls out of bed around 5:30. Today I will attend to the daily massage for at least 10 minutes. A small gesture of how deeply I care for Cheryl.
A nephew has reached out for connection. We’re making a set phone time for this week. My role is to be a listener, though I have serious concerns given recent correspondence that seems shadowed with suicidal tones. His younger brother left via that route just 14 months ago.
That sounds very concerning.
Sending love as you give your presence and care to your nephew.
It’s wonderful that he reached out to you.
Please be gentle with yourself as you spend time with him.
Carla bless you. My brother Michael left this world by his own hand 22 years ago September 24th. My son attempted the same in 2017. He is much better mentally now and will be 36 in December. Namaste

Thank you, I am certain I will cry at the ceremony!!
So good to hear, Robin Ann.
I appreciate all your words of encouragement Joseph & applaud you as well!! I know it is not easy at all!
We sat a bit longer with a friend after a meeting. He just made the decision to have his wife receive hospice care. I hope it showed we care.
I’m sure it showed!
I can let my Mom know that no matter what,
I will be there for her.
Sending love to all. ♥️
Have patience

Follow through on good intentions for two friends who have experienced significant loss.

Listen to them, be here for them
Be a good listener, be present.
Yes, this.

Hoping all goes well and glad to hear he reached out to you. Praying
I echo everyone’s concern. The Spirit guide you. Your presence will say volumes.
That sounds very concerning.
Sending love as you give your presence and care to your nephew.
It’s wonderful that he reached out to you.
Please be gentle with yourself as you spend time with him.
Carla, May you have wisdom in this situation.
Carla, we are with you and your nephew.
Blessings on you and your nephew, Carla.
You will learn much as a listener. Trust your wisdom and your relationship to continue to follow it.
I am sending you and your nephew prayers as well. I’m glad he reached out to you.
Carla, thank you for being there for
your nephew. It’s all we can do.
Prayers for your nephew and family Carla.
