The primary way she gets to spend time with her kids is they come and stay at my apartment. I am totally sick of her kids. I raised my kids and many of my grandkids and I want to live without children at this stage in my life. However, my daughter is so so so nice and helpful to me. Well she’s not always nice, but if I have any kind of need- she steps right up to help me, including financially!!!
So you helped me to continue to be a pleasant hostess and keep my mouth from venting all the frustration I feel.

Thank you for this wonderful essay.
It was very helpful to me and filled with all the difficulties I am facing in my life right now. I’m going to copy it and read it every day ~ the angels always have a way of reaching out at the very moment you need them, very grateful for your work.

Throughout more than 5 decades of journaling, writing daily affirmations on stickies, constantly learning connections between the brain and body I have learned it takes time, diligence and open reflection to change my mindset…and I continue doing this daily. At age 75 there is more for me to learn, grow, love, and do. Thanks for the guidance!

Thank you so much. I’m making a few of these affirmations that are new to me into sticky notes around my home until they are engrained: 5, 9, 11, 12, 19. The overall theme of feeling the feels, naming them, sitting with them, accepting them and then moving forward through it to the next place has worked for me, and I’m ready to take it to the next level. Keep up the great work.

I miss family members who are gone. I used to look forward to big family gatherings but now I do not. My wife and others have been cheering me up. I will save and use these affirmations.

It speaks of awareness and gratitude. Affirmations are what helped me get thru many difficult stages of my own life. Thanks for your amazing and enlightening column thru the years. I’ve been following your essays here for more than a decade now.

I have used your affirmations and others for years to motivate myself towards growth and they help. In my 8th decade, I am still growing in coping skills each day. Peace of mind is the result I am seeking. My morning affirmation ritual helps me.

I am most taken by your affirmation which is: “Peace will come to me when it comes from me”.

That basically says it all……..not easy to do but it helps put things in the right perspective and forces you to evaluate thoughts that you have that are stealing your peace and joy.

Thank you for this article, it helped me, and I am sure will help many others.
