Good Morning Everyone!!!

Does everyone have a favorite quote or saying that makes them feel better! I love the serenity prayer and the following quote I have printed and have kept in my wallet for years! When I get into a situation where I am faced with getting past something that makes me anxious or reminds me of what I am facing I will read the following:

Fear is conquered by action. When we challenge our fears, we defeat them. When we grapple with our difficulties, they lose their hold upon us. When we dare to face the things which scare us, we open the door to freedom. -- author unknown

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!

Paula

Thanks, Paula. I appreciate your quote. I am a quote nut & like to have something to contemplate throughout the day. BTW, we have posted the Serenity Prayer on occasion since it really covers lots of anxious moments. When my OCD is going strong, I have found that repeating it helps to calm those thoughts that I have no control over. (((hugs))) jan

Hi, Paula! I was thinking about you & wondering how things are going. If you can, I'd like for you to e-mail me through my profile. Or, just to ijanis51@yahoo.com. I noticed you don't have the e-mail feature & wanted to touch base with you. Have a great weekend! (((hugs))) jan

Hi Janis,

How are you doing? I was actually away in Arizona visiting my friend from 4th grade until this past monday for 10 days. I am also moving in the next week or so depending on when the furniture is delivered with Levitz so things have been quite busy. I actually missed typing on here when I was away. I had a wonderful trip to Arizona and was very proud of myself for this being the 2nd time flying on my own!!!! Hopefully, you are doing well also. I will send you my personnel email to your account and update my profile.

Hope you are having a great day!!!

WOW! That's great news. Did you have anxiety about flying? Any tips or tricks you can share, Paula? I hope you had a good time on your visit. It would seem that you enjoyed some warm weather. I am soooo jealous. These old bones would like to feel some warmth. Good luck with the move. Keep in touch! (((hugs))) jan
