Smeshque, "rather be right than popular," hmm?

While what you say is *true*...

It can also make you very lonely at lunchtimes.

The New Moon is no excuse to allow negative posts against another caregiver to flourish on this forum, especially involving attacks and hateful personal criticisms.

Other forum moderators will post and close a topic to further discussion.

Example would read:

"Administrator has closed this thread for further comment."

Hello.

If you are a believer, I would pray and ask God to help you overcome your fear. I went through a time in my life where I questioned everything I believed about existence, God, death, etc. It was right after my grandpa died. I believe over time (not immediately) He gave me peace with things (even my doubts/questions) and helped me to have a stronger faith. Now, it's not so much death that scares me, it's dying in pain, or living for years a prisoner of my own mind and body as I saw with my mom's struggles. I just pray and hope it doesn't go like that, but that when my time comes, it's peaceful and while I'm still in my right mind.

PB- I use to have that issue as well. And now I don't, long haul but got there. 4 words, faith is the victory.

Now and then, I think: 'what can I do to overcome the fear of death?"

Don't know the answer to that yet, but will keep at it.

Gershun- I am sure it will be too interesting to put down. :)

Smeshque, maybe if I write it, it will be so boring it will help you to sleep. Think of it as killing two birds with one stone.

I do love birds though, don't get me wrong. ;)

I hear you Linda.


If you write it Gershun, I will read it. :)


I have lived with it since childhood. But thank the Lord, my body has managed to get by on minimal sleep. Good days and not so good days as you know.

Insomnia? oh yes -- My sleep graph on my Fitbit looks like a roller coaster.....

smeshque, I could write a book about insomnia. In fact my lack of good, solid sleep is starting to mess with my mind I think.

Going crazy anyone?

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. When life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means it's going to launch you into something great. So just focus and keep aiming.

Tuesday’s full moon will be the biggest and brightest of three supermoons this year.

Okay, it's not really bigger or brighter. The full moon appears that way because it will be at the point in its orbit that is closest to the Earth.

That point is called the perigee. When the moon reaches perigee on Tuesday, it will be 221,681 miles from Earth, or about 17,000 miles closer than average, USA Today reports.

My “dream path” mirrors Smeshque and PolarBear. In my teens, 20s & 30s, I could recall my dreams like a mini movie. Somewhere in my 40s thru now (50s), I remember very few of my dreams. Maybe an object or a setting — but rarely the full plot.

Same here PB.
I like you could remember my dreams almost to every little detail. Now I try and tell DH a dream I had and I can only remember certain parts (crickets) and then I am like never mind..... I can't remember it all.

Probably goes along with age. However, my Mom will be 80 this year and she can tell me in details her dream. So yeah, I dunno,

I wonder how much other people remember their dreams after waking up. When I was in my 20s and 30s, I used to be able to recall my dreams vividly so much so that I kept a journal and wrote down the dreams I had each morning.

Now, I make a point of trying to recall, but as soon as a conscious thought enters my mind when I wake up (like...I've to go to the John), I can sense all the details of the dream I just had sinking beyond my conscious reach. Half of the times, I recall the most recent details of the dreams, but no where near what I could do before.

I will keep trying. I don't want to lose what little ability I have left.

What about you all?
