Patty, Im glad you were able to post and that you are feeling better today. If I was closer, Id be helping you with the painting and doggies. I sure wish I was in the situation to take one for you.

Having goals is a very positive thing to do. Ive done that since I got sick, always making short term goals. It makes me feel good knowing I am accomplishing things. Hope you feel the same.

Just please dont overdo it, take some time everyday to just sit and look at the sky, smell the flowers, pet the doggies. Those little things might sound silly but it can make you feel more serene.

Have a good day and best of luck with the painting.
