I loved your reply SJD ... and the remedy for the "post trauma/stress low" is one that I will definitely use. I just love reading so thank you for that tip.

Happy day,
Fiona

: :Good to hear from you again and to
: share what you have learned.
: I like your term " doldrum week
: " and will use it to describe
: some of my days and weeks.
: Sorry about the loss of your dear
: animal friend.You had some tough
: times.
: It is fascinating to me that none of
: the steps were ever really lost to
: you despite enormous challenges.
: You still see the right pathways and
: the time and planning it will take
: to get back to those ways.
: Last night a tornado warning and gale
: force winds uprooted a neighbor's
: gigantic tree and it fell on two
: houses whilst hailstones the size
: of baseballs rained down.
: Old me would have definitely
: "deserved " a sugary
: treat or two after picking up
: branches and debris and the
: remains of my container plants.
: New me remembered that I was tired
: and the best thing was to "
: batten down the hatches" and
: go to bed with a book.
: Now what would be the opposite of a
: doldrum week ? Hopeful weeks ? I
: hope you have many of them .
