I enjoyed the question posed by whathappensinvegas about the advice that we would give our younger selves.It provoked me to wonder what advice would you give your future self. Self talk is so very important.
So, having learned from the past and the present what advice are you offering yourself as you move into the future?
Hi
I'm going to do what I can when I can. Not overdo.
Cindy
Not to pressure myself into doing too much. Eat better and exercise more. Many days I go from the bed to the chair to the couch! Just be happy with what I can do!
I've decided to take the risk of not accepting the first job offered to me, no matter how long it takes. I'm going to turn down any job that I can see up front will be extremely high pressure and wait for something easier to come along.

Find something that brings me joy and just do it, don't put things off.
I really like this discussion, much better than New Year's Resolutions. This is for life.
Trust my intuition, my inner voice - my conscious contact with God. Eat healthier, ditch the processed foods.
I'm going to put me first, I'm not going to let others issues, problems, or concerns pour into me, I'm going to love the hell out of me in 2014...& I'm going to have a better relationship with God without any outside influences... I'm going to live 2014 in the present & remember that I'm me & have to live for me & me only....
I want to continue to take it just 1 day at a time......as we all know with Lupus, symptoms and the way we feel can change from day to day.......I want to continue to eat healthy and stay as busy and active as I am able.......the one BIG change I want to make is to stop over doing things on the days I feel good.......I always end up paying for that for several days after .......I am still trying to learn to listen to my body and pace myself !!! Like freightliner said "do what I can when I can and not over do" , that is difficult sometimes for me .........
and most of all KEEP A POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON LIFE :)
Hi everyone and Hope that this year has lead everyone into a PAIN FREE moment 2014!!!!!, well this is another good topic, the future !!! For me i think be more focused on what is happening with myself ( don't want to sound selfish ) , but 2013 was alright BUT there were moments my time was totally about other people and my mental part was taken for granted by many and i went with the flow . Now 2014 only the ones that are worthy of me , will have that mental state of mind when i ALLOW them !!!! Sorry this sound like this but hey AM HUMAN and sick , and trying to deal with this . So the answer would be Only Allowing what is needed to part of my LIFE ... Beverly L.
Hi Beverly L
You're right You need to take care of yourself and worry only about yourself. I have family and friends that are understanding. Thank Goodness. I just planned a tip to
Vegas in March with my daughter (she's45). I always get a great roomoverlooking the strip and the water show at Bellagio. I know I will be spending a lot of time in the room resting, but that's OK. Of course it doesn't take much energy to sit in front of a slot machineLOL.
Have a good day.
Cindy
HA!HA!HA!, that's around the time my sister will be out there and she wants me to go with her - but she is going by airplane and that's not my thing - afraid of highest and the car ride is long and she don't like the train , so i doubt if i go and she really loves the slot machines, i mean loves them . Well , hope that you enjoy either way it goes , in the room or out enjoying the sights ....Take care ...Beverly L.
Hi
We're going Fri 2/14 and coming back tues. We stay at Paris. I'll stay anywhere that they give me a free room. I like flying but I'm bored, it's a long ride. We fly from Boston to Charlotte and then to Vegas. It's something to look forward to. My husband won't fly, and doesn't mind if I go.
Cindy
