Where is everyone?

Still here, just busy I guess. I know I am. Sorrry you are down. :grouphug: Hope your day gets better!
We are still here!

Celebrate Me is a year round forum but just like with everything else in life there is a ebb and flow depending on schedules etc. I hope you get to feeling better. Remember that when you are down it is perfectly okay to do something extra nice for yourself. Make your favorite meal, watch a favorite movie (as long as its a comedy or something uplifting) dress in your favorite comfortable clothes and do something you enjoy doing!!!
The most important thing is to remind yourself that the mood will pass. Feelings come and go just like the weather. Try to focus on the positive and you will weather this storm!!!

If you see someone without a smile...give them one of your's!
You'll be surprised how this will lift your mood...& probably, most definitely.....their's!
;-) Chin Up, sweetie!

chick1 I am still here too. Hope you have a surprise filled day. I agree with Ginger, do something special for yourself. :grouphug: :flower:
Hi Lolwilas, Hi Everybody!!!! Thank you for this thread! You did good, Lolwilas, by opening this up for conversation! I don't like being down in the dumps either. (Sometimes fixing my favorite meal means buying TV dinners so somebody else cooks for me that day!) But remember - today IS RUDY DAY! This is a day to celebrate together in our hearts. The year is one fourth over! (The bad one fourth, in my opinion, - winter.) I intend to play with some Christmas things today. Like - looking at Christmas cards and wrapping paper. Happy Rudy Day, everyone.

Lolwlias....
I just noticed that your "word" for this year is: PERSEVERE
It might help you to reflect on that word and it's meaning for a few minutes. It's worth a shot!

Re: Where is everyone? (Update)
My 2yo granddaughter was diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease.
She's doing okay. The swelling in her feet has gone down and she can walk again and the fever has gone down. She's on aspirin therapy for the next 8 weeks to prevent a heart attack and she goes back for another echocardiogram then.
My ds and his wife had been over at Vermont Children's Hospital with her and I was taking care of their 4yo.
I'd originally posted my bad day because things between dh and I were kind of crappy at the time...and we are working things out.
Thanks for the care and concern.
You guys are great!!!!

Lolwlias, sorry to hear about your granddaughter. I hope she'll be ok!
Glad to hear that you and your DH are working things out.
Remember we're always hear to listen and support each other :grouphug:

Lowlias, how terrifying your granddaughters' illness must have been. I had never heard of Kawasakis' Disease and I became anxious about it -- so I quickly looked it up. (The website I read said it is very rare and doctors don't know what causes it. And that it was named for the Japanese doctor who identified it as a rare childhood disease.) And the site did say that it usually resolves itself without serious complications.
Of course, "usually" isn't much help when it is a child you love who has it! Thank goodness she is receiving care from a Childrens' Hospital, which can provide expert follow-up care.
And thank goodness you went to take care of the 4-year old. What a blessing you are to that family!!!
Continued prayers and love to you and your husband, and the entire extended family!! From -- OUR entire extended family here at Magical Holiday Home. Dreamer is so right -- we are always here to listen and to support each other! And -- we all need it!! :cloudnine:
(And another wave of gratitude to Gingerbug and the mods who create this space for our extended family!)

Lowlias, I hope everything works out with your grandaughter. That must of been quite a day for you. I am sure you wanted to be with your son and grandaughter.
Husbands!!!!! what can I say....I hope you continue to work it out. It takes a lot of work to make a marriage and if one person doesn't do their share then look out....trouble in Paradise........ My husband is in bed sick today so I am playing nursemaid. LOL
God Bless!

I agree with Ginger have a day to yourself, make a hot bubble bath, listen to favorite music, sit down with a good book,, wrapped in a snuggy blanket, & relax.
