Aside form that I love every moment I spend with my granddaughter. We spend at least one day a week together. She is so young that simple treats are easy. Yesterday she had the best time dancing in front of the mirror that Woolworth's have outside there stores at present. I have fun looking for fun things that do not cost much. Finally I make sure to spend a little time with Jesus. It should be more but since I can't even shower without interruption every bit helps.Suzannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-70765287446032841362020-10-22T11:13:06.964+11:002020-10-22T11:13:06.964+11:00I totally agree with you.I totally agree with you.Wendy Gowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079131126381265901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-55931569004932513662020-10-22T10:24:54.560+11:002020-10-22T10:24:54.560+11:00For the past month I've been doing a weekly th...For the past month I've been doing a weekly thankful list. It has really helped focus me on what is good and kind. We also are trying to make each other laugh which is a great stress reducer.

That helped me a great deal. Then, when I got back on, I only viewed uplifting posts. I hid the rest. <br /><br />There is an app on my phone called Digital Wellbeing. I installed it and check on how much time I gave spent online each day. And where. Some online places don't bother me as much as others. <br /><br />I have been reading about how people coped well during the Great Depression and World War II. Their stories give me coping skills and hope that our circumstances don't dictate our attitude. <br /><br />I make a point to pay attention to people talking to me, without doing other things. <br /><br />Exercise. <br /><br />Spend time outside. <br /><br />Write a gratitude journal daily. <br /><br />I find I have really had to ramp up these things to keep in a positive, blessed and blessings mindset.

I feel that keeping busy is the key. If you are busy doing things you don't have time to think about the stressful things.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741742995571975518noreply@blogger.com
