Quote From: nekocats2

I went and saw my 3 week old grandson for the first time.  He is the son from my husbands daughter.  (my step daughter).  He is a beautiful healthy baby.  I held this beautiful child and he would coo.  My gosh.  My youngest "baby" just turned 19. How quickly we forget.  Heck, I kept thinking my grandson was so small. Both of my children were even smaller.  When hubby and I passed our grandson to each other, we both kept saying, "Do you have him".   "Is he in your arms right?".  "You got him.....right?".  My son in law just laughed and said that they do it also.  Heck, you don't want to drop them.  LOL  He is beautiful.  It was a joy to hold a new member of just not the family, but a new member of the world.  Beautiful child and wonderful addition to our world.

I'm glad to hear you had a chance to get away.   

 

 

  

AHHHHHH!  a new grandbaby.  Yes, when you  

  

have children and grandchildren I think you 

  

realize how fast time seems to slip by.  I have 

  

eight grand-babies, the youngest will be seven 

  

this year, and there will be no more babies 

  

for me to cuddle and spoil.  <sigh> 

 

 

Take care my friend!

Depression

A passer-by noticed an old lady sitting on her front step: "I couldn't help   

noticing how happy you look!" What is your secret for such a long, happy life?   

   

   

"II smoke 4 packs of cigarettes a day", she said. "Before I go to bed, I smoke a    

nice big joint. Apart from that, I drink a bottle of Jack Daniels every week, and eat   

only junk foods. On weekends I pop a huge number of pills and do no exercise   

at all."   

   

   

   

"This is absolutely amazing at your age!!!!", says the passer-by.    

How old are you?   

   

   

   

                                           I'm twenty four, she replied.

Good Evening to all

Hope everyone here is having a good evening so far. Or afternoon, depending on your time zone. It's a quarter to 7 here so I guess I assume everyone else is settling in for the evening.

Grief can be hard on us. Listen to what Tama posted to you and ESPECIALLY listen to your doctor's advice. Dr. Phil's son, Jay, says to the count of five in his book for teens and most women say to count of five works best. So for those of us not six feet tall football players like Dr. Phil...I changed to Jay's count of 5. God Bless You and Heal You and those dear to you and renew you mind, body, spirit and soul. Amen and Amen. SEA

Relaxation Script by Dr. Phil

Appendix A, page 285 - 286 WLC book

BREATHE to count of FIVE each way ...in and out... (7 FOR FOOTBALL STARS)

"Focus on your breathing: (UWS, PAGE 286) "Breathing out EXACTLY to count of 1-2-3-4-5. So focus on letting go of everything you want to let go, especially stress, fear and any other destabalizing emotions. For a few moments, practice letting go of any tension, stress, feelings, or thoughts that you don't need right now. Let them go. Then breathe in EXACTLY to the count of 1-2-3-4-5...

Next, I want you to know that when you let these things go with your out-breath, you are replacing that space with good, nurturing air with your in-breath. Visualize that good air coming into your body and healing whatever needs restoration. Send that air to anywhere in your body and feel the love and caring you are giving yourself right now. Bring it into yourself. Practice this for a little while.

What you need to do next is to balance these in-breaths with the out-breaths, so that you will feel soothing relaxation and balance coming into your body. Practice breathing in to a count of five, 1-2-3-4-5, now breathe out, 1-2-3-4-5, in-breath, 1-2-3-4-5, and out-breath 1-2-3-4-5. count for yourself for each in-breath and out-breath for at least five minutes.

Note to yourself that you are balancing your out-breaths and in-breaths, letting the stress and tension leave your body, and allowing the good nurturing air to come in. You are releasing the stress and bringing the healing forces in. "
