Auspicious August 2025 W.I.S.H. Thread

Motivation this week... being back in the office for the first time in what, six weeks?

My other motivation is that I had my first appt with the new chiropractor Friday and have decided to work on improvement not just maintaining. It means appts twice a week for three months, which is going to be a challenge to juggle, but I am so looking forward to being better.

Topic Tuesday. Do you find yourself pretending to get through difficult times more or less often than anticipated?

I love that picture! I will have to think on the question a little.

I am not always great about answering my own posts. In this case I will say I am that little fish a lot. Hoping to address at least one issue starting this week…starting to meet with a therapist to address some phobias

I am really bad at this. I tend to act like I am fine when I am really not fine. The last 4 to 5 years I have been in the thick of it with everything that has gone on with DD. It has taken a huge toll on me but I am not sure anyone really knows how much. I tend to just put my head down and get done what I need to for her and not think about myself.

Oh, interesting question. I think that at work I'm known for saying what needs to be said, asking the tough questions, facing things head-on... and I've heard the word "brave" more than once. But at home and in my personal life it's more head buried in the sand thinking things are going to pass/resolve themselves without me actually doing anything. I think I have some work to do there.
