@dooBdoo   Consider us your backboard and trampoline.  Whichever one you find you need at any given time, it's always yours.

I think today, we'd love to be surrounded by all the animals in Disney movies.  That would be so loverly.

@dooBdoo : I understand you feelings. I prefer to choose being helpful, positive and encouraging. This has really been a stressful and difficult year. Our energy levels are very low and making it very difficult to continue. Plus we now have the change of seasons and the reality that this Thanksgiving and Christmas will be different from past years. More than ever, we need a - "Be Good to me day." Do what's necessary to find a place for peace, calm and pampering. For me that would be- showering with my favorite fragrance gel, then favorite pjs, robe etc. Find a room and favorite chair to escape. Surround myself with favorite books, movies etc. Favorite quick meal and a couple of indulgent treats: a pint of my best ice cream and a few chocolates. Escape and don't feel guilty. Tomorrow is a new day and new start. Find something that will recharge you.🤗❤️❤️

Hello Lovelies,

Spent time today rearranging kitchen, laundry room, and piles of papers.  

But, however, wherever, say what?  Somebody has the nerve to create trouble for @dooBdoo ?  Say what?  I will pack up some stuff and join the group.  And whoever, whomever caused Doo trouble...they will get told off like never before.

The nerve.  Really ticks me off.

Thank you, @qualitygal.  That's such a gift.   I hope all of you know I'm part of your team and will be your backboard and trampoline, too, and a "soft place to fall."❤️

@Bri369, I have calmed down a bit, and I have been thinking of you.

Your post about your mom, missing her, and getting a whiff of her perfume...it touched my heart so.  I completely understand.  There are deep hurts we must adjust to, and live with everyday, but then they come rushing back.  Happens to me, as well.

Lost my mom 11 years ago.  She inherited my grandmother’s engagement ring.  Now it is mine.  I wear it always and only take it off to clean it.  And there are days I just imagine her coming through our kitchen door, with a plate of goodies, like she always did.

Blessings to you, and know you are not alone.  I keep a bottle of her cologne and a couple items she loved to wear, as well.

@PamfromCT  That's so heartwarming 

It was just so unexpected to smell that perfume.  No one I know ever wore that but her, so it just hit me.

@SouthernBee, you are perceptive and insightful.   I think you're spot on...  and I will take this message to heart and make a cozy nest -- as @PamfromCT said, a "snuggery!"   It's a perfect day to do this, since autumn is my favorite season and last night our first really chilly, crisp, nippy weather tiptoed in.   Thank you for your gracious post.❤️
