  2. Ughhhh.  I have a terrible cold.

    (Also what I said to get out of going to a therapy appointment a few years ago.)

    This time, it’s true!

    Hoping you all are having a good day. ❤️

      Thank you, all.  I am hanging in there.  I am glad my weekend starts now - and will last four days!  I plan to rest as much as possible and be the best couch potato I can possibly be.

      Sounds like the perfect plan @Capulet

      @snmls, @Free2Fly, @EmptyInside -

      I've an unlimited supply of hugs - it's amazing how much of a difference they can make for someone.  So - continuing to dish 'em out upon request - and yes, I'd LOVE some in return.  Thanks, all.  I'm so grateful for my AS family.

  5. Saturday's message:  It's OKAY!

    - to make mistakes
    - to have bad days
    - to be less than perfect
    - to do what's best for you
    - to be yourself

    Hoping everyone's having a good weekend.

    Love to you all!  :throb:

  6. Here's a sweet image I found on my social media feed....

    2. Capulet

      YES, @snmls - I like that, too.  Hugs or 'wraps' are always better received when they're offered with a 'can I?' first. :)

  8. For some, Mother’s Day is complicated.

    For those who have dreamed of motherhood and are still waiting for that dream to come true.

    For those whose children have died.

    For those who have experienced miscarriage or stillbirth.

    For those who have made difficult decisions regarding their motherhood.

    For those who made the painful choice to say goodbye.

    For those who will only be celebrated for the children in their arms while also mothering the ones in their hearts.

    For those who are dealing with infertility.

    For those whose motherhood is challenged by society.

    For those who aren’t sure where they fit on Mother’s Day.

    For those who have complicated relationships with their children.

    For those who are experiencing motherhood without support.

    For those who are missing their mothers.

    For those who have complicated relationships with their mothers.

    For those who never knew their mothers.

    For those who have reasons beyond this list.

    Please know that you have my support. ❤️ 

  9. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to share this little (big) guy's smile and wave 'hello.'  Hoping it puts a grin onto your faces, too!

  10. Everyone, please take care of yourselves today!  If Halloween is something you enjoy, please ensure that you stay safe while participating in any activities today/tonight!!

    If you do not particularly enjoy Halloween, then please take care of yourselves and treat yourselves to some self-care and know that November is right around the corner!!!  

    Sending everyone love. ❤️

      Thanks, Cap! I have (general) doctor's appointment in a little while, that is as scary as I will get. 👻

      No trick-or-treaters in my complex to give out to, so my plans will be snuggling up under a warm blanket and watching the World Series. :popcorn:

  11. Normally I hate the rain.  It's gloomy, it's murky, it's depressing.  But today, I welcome it - it's given me a chance to reconnect with myself a little bit.  Not in a bad way, though.  It's just me, by myself, alone.  Without interruptions.  

    Let God cry today so  that I don't have to.

    Anyone else?

    1. Capulet

      Capulet

      Where's the thumbs-up button?  I guess we don't have one, here.  But yes, agreed - I needed some quiet, today!  Hope you are doing well, @pattyr.  

    2. pattyr

      pattyr

      Thanks, @Capulet.  I am doing okay, taking some comfort in some food, and reading AS to feel not alone.  Not raining where I am, but kind of grey out, has a bit of that feeling.  I  hope you are doing well too.

    3. Capulet

      Capulet

      Yes.  I feel productive, I had the time today to do some writing that I'd been otherwise delaying and procrastinating on.  I also did my fair share of reading/connecting with others.  Keeps the mind busy.

      I feel good having done do.  Thank you for checking in. :)

  12. All treats, no tricks!  If candy's not your thing, then consider your bag filled with lots of love, support and well wishes from me to you - Happy and safe Halloween to all. :)44896261_975134109362256_7955678904335728640_n.jpg

  14. Salem is here to say hello.  He is modeling one of my hand-made SAAM bands - yes, I did take it off after this picture was taken as it's not a 'regulation' collar, but here's our boy's contribution to the observance of Sexual Assault Awareness Month!  Teal is a nice color on him, isn't it?

  15. For those of you who are also having mixed feelings seeing the Mother's Day posts on social media: I'm with you.  Wishing you a happy day if you're celebrating and holding your hand if you're not.  :throb:

      Thank you.  It is hard for me to see people post about relationships with their mothers on facebook when I have never had a good relationship with my mom.  

    2. heartofamethyst

      heartofamethyst

      Thank you so much for posting this. I have such mixed feelings about this day. One because I do not have a great relationship with my mom and two because due to my abuse I may never have kids.

  16. Came across this gem on my newsfeed on social media and wanted to share with everyone here.  It is imperative to be compassionate to yourself in times of difficulty. Self-care is a great way to do that to help yourself heal. It is giving yourself permission to pause, to love yourself, to be kind to yourself and remember that you are just human and you are doing your best.  :throb:   Sending you all love and safe hugs!!

      Thank you Cap. I forget all the time about self care.

      This is excellent. Bathing in the ocean is definitely cleansing and spiritual for me. I make time for this every time I go home.

      Thank you Cap for this.  I didn’t realize self care was quite so multifaceted.

  20. Happy Friday, everyone. ❤️ Just a friendly reminder to make time for yourselves.  Don't forget - you're important!

    What's one way you'll practice some self-care this weekend?   👇

    1. Tapestry

      Tapestry

      ❤ Happy Friday, Cap! Tonight I am taking conscious time to myself. I am feeling a lot of "shoulds" about connecting with other people but it has Been. A. Week. and I need down time. 

      How about you?

    2. Capulet

      @Hope321 - that sounds absolutely perfect!!!  I hope you enjoy your walk and your friend's company.  So glad you're going to have the quiet time to yourself to read and journal (one of my favorites), too! ❤️ 

      @Tapestry - hear ya loud and clear on the long week.  Had one of those on this end, too!  

      I'm going to enjoy a little down time this weekend, too, even if it means staying in bed for an extra hour after waking up.  I've admittedly been overworking myself.  I'm also going to try to give myself an entire day (tomorrow) without opening a textbook or one of the several papers due at the end of this semester!!!

    3. Hope321

      I hope you had a lovely day today. I think that was an excellent idea to give yourself a break from school. It is a hard thing to do!

  21. Okay, many of you know already that I don't like the Fall - it's traumaversary season for me.   But this little critter is super adorable and the words are something we should all take to heart - and not just today...every day. :)  So - here ya go - some random midweek wisdom! ❤️ Sending you all strength and positivity along with the cuteness!
