Today's 3 Blessings....

[snikkers1]

Thanks Keta, I had my moments making the cake let me tell you, but focused more on the actual decorating and outcome of how it looked rather than what it was for, so very proud of my acheivement...

1- I had a fairly good day even though I was tired when I woke up and thought I did not want to go to work
2 - I went to the gym this afternoon and feel good because of this.. (I had not been for 2 weeks)
3 - I am thankful for those people in my life who are supportive and genuinely care.

tomorrow: I am going to have a very productive day getting lots of work done at work as it is so busy!!

[myturn]

feeling kinda crappy this afternoon so this is probably a good exercise....

1. managed to learn a new assessment tool and talk through it with other psychs in my peer supervision group this afternoon
2. realised I HAD changed something in a document I sent last night (thought I was going to have to re-email it and would feel like an idiot)
3. I got on the bike for 9 minutes this morning (even though when I got out of bed i thought I wasn't going to... it was like my body was in auto mode and just went there!)

tomorrow: I will use my earphones at work to make sure I have a productive day with all the reports I have to write...



Zig -- so I'm wondering if DH has continued to be his brilliant self??

Snikkers -- Are you still putting excess pressure on yourself? or has the ah ha moment lasted??

Keta -- another warm night for you -- back to the beach tonight??


Hi to Maruschke, N2L and anyone else I've missed or who might be stalking

[snikkers1]

my turn: going ok at the moment... I think it can change from day to day sometimes lol, good on you for getting on the bike this morning anyway.. and good on you for still posting here even when your feeling the way you do.. your right it is a good exercise.

so here goes me for today..

1- I am pleased I had a productive day today like I said I would.
2- I am happy that I still cooked myself a very yummy healthy dinner even though initially I did not want to cook.
3- I am Thankful for jokes and laughter with friends that makes me feel good and smile.

Tomorrow... I will have another productive day and give everyone I see a lovely smile and hope it catches on.

[zig]

@myturn- lol! Yep, he's still my sweet guy and I'm sooo lucky! We don't live in a perfect bubble but I'm so grateful for how good he is to me. Now if only my body will reward our efforts with a baby....

Myturn - no beach tonight - movies with my sister (which I very much needed)
So today ...
1. My sister for noticing that I wasn't coping the best today and spending some girl time with me.
2. For bb - the place I can come to when I need to find someone who 'gets it'. Thanks Myturn for pointing out that even though you weren't having the best day this was still a good idea. I was nearly going to deliberately skip this and Im glad I didn't.
3. For my job - some interesting travel for next year may be on the horizon.

For tomorrow - Im going to get up early and finish some paper work so that I can recover from my lap in the afternoon without stressing about reports for work.
Im kinda proud I managed to that! It was strangley hard to do tonight. Hope you girls are all doing well.

[myturn]

I too am proud of you Keta - hopefully it helped put a small smile on your face. xx to your sister for being there for you

ah zig.... I too wish I could be rewarded with a baby... if I think too hard about it, I feel that the universe is punishing me... but enough of that in here.... today I feel much better...

1. Managed to get a WHOLE report written (now just got 7 to go... that's at least 7 days of work!)
2. Actually DID use my ear phones at work and was proud of myself to staying focused for the most part.
3. .......ummm...... I got salad to go with my fish from the Fish and Chip shop (rather than the usual chips to go with it) :-)

noticing that number 3 is often difficult to find, but hey, the more I practice the easier it will get.

so snikkers... how did the smiles go?? Lol - you know.... that's probably a good exercise, i remember in my younger days talking with a friend (can't for the life of me remember who!) who said she sometimes would do that all day, and watch the faces of people who don't know how to react! sad that people don't know how to react to a smile....

I'm going to go with that theory for tomorrow, and see what happens

thanks everyone for sticking with me on this... it helps remind me to be thankful for what I DO have....

[snikkers1]

my turn: Well the smiles went well when I did smile they smiled back... though I wasn't as smiley as I could have been all day but there is always room for improvement will do this again tomorrow.. good on you about the salad too you go girl! it can be very hard to resist chips especially when getting fish.

1- I made it through the day even though I was so tired and got up for work early then got a phone call after my shower saying someone would not be in which meant I had to change to a late shift.... meaning I could have slept in.. but it was what it was and got to go back to bed anyway and snuggle with DH for a while.
2- managed to laugh at and joke about a situation I would normally get upset about.
3- hmm number 3, it is getting hard sometimes to think of three but here goes I am going to be thankful for this thread and the fact it gets me to reflect positively on thngs even if they are small or can seem negative to begin with there is always a way of seeing things in a different light... (yes it is harder for some things than others though).

tomorrow hmmmm well tomorrow I will continue to give smiles to everyone and I will also think of something nice to say to all the staff at work... (that could be a challenge with some lol but I am up for it).

[myturn]

dear snikkers... I am thankful for you making me giggle.. thankyou

[snikkers1]

dear snikkers... I am thankful for you making me giggle.. thankyou

Aww thanks, anytime hun glad I could make you giggle you've brought a smile to my face with this comment.

[myturn]

today I am thankful for...

1. a long time friend, whom text me to catch up for lunch (lucky if we see each other more than once a year, so it was really nice - I need people to be thinking of me ATM, so I really appreciated her support)
2. DH going out to get milk this evening, so we have some for brekky tomorrow morning
3. a girl at work who arranges work social club stuff - she helps me stay sane in all the work craziness!!

tomorrow.... I will..... enjoy my family time - and not take DSD's behaviour personally.

[snikkers1]

Ok I need this today, haven't been able to get on the internet for 3 days due to my computer getting a virus.. but here we are back in action.

1- I am Thankful for my RDO today it is needed and prob wouldn't be a good day or me to be at work anyway as I am in a bad mood.
2- I am Thankful I can have some time on my own to get out what I need to and work on getting rid of my bad mood.
3- I have my computer back!! (gee I rely on technology so much.

tomorrow..... I will start the day off fresh and smiling.

[myturn]

good job snikkers -- I was naughty and should have done this yesterday - was feeling SOOO crap - but to be honest, I could barely bring myself to get online, let alone think positively

anyway - I'm here today, and am feeling better.
so

1. I feel blessed to get along with so many people at work - we are having some staffing dramas, but it is nice to know that the people involved find me supportive - and those that know my own personal TTC difficulties recognise that I keep myself together pretty well.
2. My hubby is awesome and was prepared to drop his own plans last night so we could go for a drive to Mornington and get icecream - it was such a lovely night.
3. I am starting to make some progress on the reports I have to get done (still worried there's not enough time - but I'm starting to think Ill make it!!

tomorrow... I will enjoy the two counselling cases I am visiting - they will be ending up cases for the year, but I am going to enjoy them, and not stress about what else I SHOULD be doing.

(p.s. thank god for auto save!! - thought I'd lost it all!!

[Neda]

Ok I could use some counting of my thankful fors

1. Husband brought me a slice of chocolate cake home from work (not that I can afford the calories!)
2. Heatpack to reduce post TTC cramping
3. Not getting into a car accident even with everyone driving like idiots today!


:/ hopefully tomorrow or the next day will be better :/

[snikkers1]

Myturn, hlad your feeling better... we all have days llike that... I have been a bit like that all week.. glad DH took you for ice cream!

1- I got to have a really good long chat to one of my very good friends last night and she always cheers me up
2- I rang today to find out about a job I had been for an interview for and had not heard back from to see what was happening, and they still have not made a decision yet... which is great for me means I am still in with a chance which is better than a no.
3- I jut got my bathroom, kitchen and laundry cleaned so happy thats three less things to do tomorrow.

Tomorrow.... I am going to my work christmas party and know I will have a great time...

[myturn]

sorry I've not been on the computer for over a week, just been checking my phone and it's too hard to do much there....

Welcome Neda, nice to see you in here, and giving it a go :-)

good to see you are still giving it a go Snikkers.

so for me...

1. I did a bit of private work this afternoon - so made a little cash
2. DSD has gone home to mums for the afternoon, so DH and I get some relaxing time together - we went out of breakfast at a little cafe and it was nice
3. Remembered to call MIVF and make my payment for the next cycle to start

tomorrow.... I WILL get onto all the parents I need to call and make appointments with before school finishes!!

So how about everyone else... being it's christmas week this could be a useful exercise for all of us... even if we look back across the whole week if we can't manage for one day ...

Keta? Zig? Snikkers? Neda? any stalkers want to join us :-)

[Keta]

Hi myturn. I'm on my phone but since af showed up today I think I really need to do this!

1. My dad is out of icu and recovering from his bypass surgery. What an amazing guy
2. Two more days and I'm on holidays for Christmas - yay
3. There is always another cycle

Tomorrow I will go for my blood test and work out web we can try again

[myturn]

that sounds like a good plan for tomorrow - sorry about AF, may be worth making an appointment with FS (I was lucky to get a cancellation the day after my BT and it really helped me feel better about everything). I'm glad dad is doing well.

big - look after yourself xxx

[zig]

Haven't done this in a while but I need to always remember the positives so I don't beat myself up...

1. I've finally had my appointment at the fertility clinic. It's good to at least have a plan so I don't feel so lost and helpless!

2. I have a job interview in a couple of weeks. This was a job that my application was initially thrown out! I'm excited to have at least the chance to show what I've got to offer-even if I don't get it...

3. I'm having my sis Inlaw visit for Xmas. She's about 31weeks pregnant and will be staying with me till the baby comes. Ordinarily this would've been awkward but I know her history-she's much older than I am and this is her first term pregnancy after 2previous miscarriages. She's such great company and being with her just encourages me that hope isn't lost!

I know 2011 has been tough on most of us here and we can't wait for it to be over; but can we list 3 good things that happened to us this year?

For me:
1. I FINALLY learnt how to drive!
2. We were able to acquire some real estate...
3. Professionally speaking, I got a couple of certificate courses done, and accepted to write a professional exam next year.

2012 is looking good from where I'm standing!
