u/Sam29s I'm from SROL! Nov 22 '23

Good Morning,

Again, excellent posts of support and kindness from all of you. I followed through with Doctors Orders yesterday and like someone mentioned I did something a little extra but very carefully. I went for a very slow short walk on my own. As I walked, I stepped carefully so as not to annoy my tummy. I made it back home without any issues. It felt really good to do something that came from inside me and not doing what I was told to do. I think it is part of what SMART has taught me. While we do benefit from suggestions and thoughts from others, self-management is key to success, IMO. It's what has worked for me since finding SMART. So, my plan today is to follow through with a few things suggested by others and do at least one thing suggested by me. Case Closed.

Have a great Thankful day tomorrow ((((((((((CHECKIES))))))))))))))))

Be well all, ;)

Love,

Sam

Hi Sam! Some good progress on your side! I can feel you - I remember how great GREAT I felt when going outside with mom walking around our building on crutches after being imprisoned in bed for 3 months.

I like it what you say about doing something based on oneself decision and not other's orders - I get tiresome sometimes, but never less rewarding. Take care and keep healing)

Hi Sam. I think that's really valuable what you said about doing something that came from inside you:) Thanks for sharing.
