You mean the voice that tries to keep us out of trouble. Problem is, I have a critical inner voice from childhood that messes with my head.

I was in recovery on narcotics & only one person checked in. The church didn't even notice I hadn't been there in a while. I had been attending a small group there for months.
I hope you have someone you can talk to, even long distance.

It has been awhile since I joined the group but have been a situation I thought I would never be in. Please bare with me for a bit of history.
I moved to live with my daughter and her hubby 3 years ago. All kinds of good things were sposed to happen. Well long story short I ended up being isolated from people with only the computer to communicate with friends and others.
Well That has all changed My friend and I found a senior apt complex 3 weeks ago and we are now getting moved in. New friends people to talk to and the ability to be myself and laugh and joke. I thought the worst had happened but I survived and I am making friends and the roomie and I are tired and achey and so very happy. Just a story that you can come thru the storm and still make friends

We’re all in this together,
If we don’t do it,
Who will.
One day we’ll look behind us,
Realizing that we’ve made it.
We can fool the world,
But we can’t fool our hearts.
Today, we should remove,
Our masks,
That hides who we are,
And send a clear message,
To the universe,
That we are here,
That we are enough,
That we are worthy,
We are here to stay,
To fight for our inner peace.

Hi I've joined today. It's been a long road, 8 years ago. winning a battle of Colon cancer. I've been left with quite Complex conditions. I'm here for my 2 children. Unlike my husband who passed away with cancer age 34😢18 years ago now. Before I became ill I had a fabulous job Social life. Many very close friends. But 8 years down the line. They have their lives to live. Not worrying about me, so days are getting longer & I feel alone, I'm looking to make new friends who understand the effects illness can have on you. Long term.You lose yourself. Become withdrawn from the outside world looking for people like myself struggle with effort. When u feel so alone.

For many, worrying is often a way to try to predict what the future has in store-a way to prevent surprises and control the outcome. The problem is, it doesn’t work. It’s not possible to predict all the things that can go wrong and trying to does not make the future more predictable.
Join us as we talk about some ways to control worrying and put the power to handle life’s problems back in your hands. Everyone is welcome at Joyful Retirement on Monday 9 am central.

I'm new to this group. I could share my life story but the present is what is messing me up. I suffer from the consequences of the decisions I’ve made for more than 50 years of adult life. Regret and discontent haunt me. Recent politics has caused much discord in my extended family. A once close family is now fractured and my brother hates me and only communicates with me to share that hate. Otherwise, crickets, as they say.
I have a large breed dog I rescued last fall and she loves me but I get hurt everyday because she jumps on me and can also pull me down hard and I bleed from her scratches. My husband also. We are in training but she is still over exuberant. Everyone says she is way too much dog for us. But now we’re all emotionally attached and have a lot of time and money invested. However, I have tried to rehome her but no takers and except for the city (kill) shelter there is no space for her anywhere within 350 miles.
I came here for the possibility of friendship and comfort of community.

Active Listening Given all the listening that we do, you would think we'd be good at it! In fact, most of us are not, and research suggests that we only remember between 25 percent and 50 percent of what we hear. Join us at Joyful retirement on Monday at 9 am central time as we discuss the importance of active mindful listening and some steps to help us get there.

A man who has committed a mistake and doesn’t correct it, is committing another mistake. Confucius
I make mistakes everyday. I believed “one size fits all” (big mistake). I didn’t believe “bet ya can’t eat just one” (big mistake). I sent an email meant for one person to “send all” (big mistake). So mistakes happen, but what do you do after you make a mistake? How do you recover? Join us Monday at 9 am central at Joyful Retirement as we talk about the next step.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Join Us at Joyful Retirement on Monday at 9 am central as we talk about letting go of past mistakes so we can move on.
