Hi All, Jayne made a great comment on her last post (see her responses to "Willingness"...) Jayne said she's been trying hard to focus on the here and now...
That was one of the big changes that I made in my life....in the midst of my depression and my eating disorder, I used to look at the past with constant regret and looked at the future with fear...so much that I didn't enjoy nor really live my here and now....
Now, I take one day at a time, and enjoy and do my best every day, because all I have is right now. Living the best "right now" I can will make for good yesterdays....and planning for the future, taking action, looking forward to what is ahead instead of passively worrying.....and remembering to take one day at a time, makes for great tomorrows...
I read a quote today that I loved and I say good bye with it tonite....
"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength." ...not sure who it is by, but I really like it.
Peace, Hope and Love...

Hey guys! I will hopefully be attending the meeting on Sunday night. I know I am supposed to be at Renfrew, but it didn't work out. I am pleased to say however, that I am doing good on my own and am really making strides towards my own recovery this time. I want to Thank you all for being such a great support during this time of transition. I hope to see you all on Sunday. Have a good rest of the week and weekend.

hello!
well, "my assignment" was to go to bed at a decent hour and get a good night sleep!
so far so good..for the last few nights i've been getting ready for bed around 9:30p.m...it's been working..i actually got up this morning bright and refreshed at 6! i had the whole morning before my classes to spend time with mother nature..

p.s...does anyone know if it is possible to attach something to the blog?
Hi Jayne!
I am not sure if it is possible to attach something to the blog. Will play arround with it, research the blog features during the next couple of days and let you know if it can be done.
Congrats on your test!!!! Awesome!!
I am glad you liked the website on patience/coping. I will post parts of it on the main blog page, there is definitely some good stuff there.
Have a wonderful week and stay in touch. Thanks so much again for helping us post flyers at FAU.

hi everyone,
hope everyone is doing well..i am excited because i've been making sure i'm going to bed at a decent hour...it's been sucessfull! for the last week i've been winding down my day at around 9:30pm..and getting into bed at about 10..i love it..
one, becuase i'm getting a good nights rest, and two, i'm not spending as much time on the computer..for me, time management is not my best quality, but i'm working on it!
i also went to the counseling center at fau last week and the gentleman i spoke to was more that happy to put up the flyers! lets hope we get some new people...
unfortunetly, i won't be at sundays meeting because i'm flying up to ny on thursday night and won't be home til monday...so i hope you have a great weekend and a great meeting..see you all in a couple weeks!!
