Good Morning Peeps and welcome to our wonderful community. 😎🎈

I hope all will have a very nice Saturday. 🎈

@oodiebom,

I am so sorry for that the nurse should take a few days off and get some medical attention.
The medical rehab should have someone with the same experience on staff or on call.

Oodie what a day for you here is to better days. 😘😎🎈

Tonight was not easy. The nurse that helps hubby during the week was in tons of stomach pain that went up towards his chest. This is not the first time this occurred. He thought there was a blockage but I felt it was from lifting the patients from wheelchair to bed and vice versa. Hate tp see anyone not feeling well, but still able to work through the pain. He is funny also and gets hubby to smile and laugh. Tonight was not an easy thing for him and so I gave him an extra pair of hands. When I turned the covers back on the bed I noticed that it needed to be redone. The fitted bed sheet must have been put on in a hurry as the corners were not there. I decided to redo and at the same time fixed the mattress cover so there weren’t any wrinkles. He also was able to get hubby to move more. Tonight he was not a dead weight. This last is important because I cannot lift him. I tucked hubby in for the night. So sad leaving him. He tries very hard to get me to stay over,. No dice.

I have started the thread for Trivia and now I am getting ready to make a stop at Costco for much needed water and anything else that looks good. On my way out will definitely pick up a hot dog and a salad. I also will fill up as I leave. Car gets hungry also.

We are both OK. Hubby became more alert when I arrived yesterday. I am trying desperately to get this house in order and thus far have not heard from anyone with an extra pair of hands. Maybe that is for the best since I do know what’s in the boxes and where they go. I am in the dining room area and have made a dent where everything is where it should be. Next step is to use Clean Boss and the Shark wand. I have to admit that having a cordless vacuum for the little things really helps since in some areas I am plugless. Most of all, my hands do not touch anything even when emptying..

I will see you tonight in Trivia from the Rehab. Looking forward to a little bit of relaxation. Oops. Almost forgot. I need to do some recharging of Kindle. See you soon.

Feeling Guilty About Being Happy

Allow yourself to release feeling any guilt about being happy.

Happiness is an experience we all long for and deserve in our lives. We may wish for the happiness that comes with a much-needed vacation or an exciting new love affair, yet when the actual experience of happiness emerges, we may be too overcome with guilt to enjoy it. If guilt is interfering with your ability to feel joy, you may find relief in looking at the beliefs you hold about yourself and what it means for you to be happy.

Guilt about feeling happy can arise for different reasons. Deep down you may believe that you don’t deserve to be happy because you hurt someone in the past, had more than others growing up, or maybe you received a mean comment from someone you admire. Perhaps it once seemed that painful experiences always followed happy ones; now whenever you begin to feel happy, you find yourself waiting for the other shoe to drop. Happiness may even just feel uncomfortable because you’ve gotten so used to feeling down. The truth is that when you feel too guilty to let yourself enjoy positive emotions, you are denying a part of yourself that has a right to exist. By limiting your life experience to just the negative feelings, you are cutting yourself off from the fullness of life — which includes all of the positive emotions as well. Fortunately, you can begin to shift the way you respond to happiness even in this moment.

From now on, when happiness begins to blossom in your heart, try to accept it, relish in it, ask it to stay. It’s okay to feel happy even if you believe you don’t deserve it. Feeling good is an expression of your wholeness and your connection with life. The next time happiness appears for you, try not to feel guilty about it. Instead, welcome your happiness in like a long-awaited friend. AMEN! 🎈😎
