Thanks a lot

I am not sure what my solution actually is, but I wanted to say "thanks a lot" to my MyLot friends.
You listen when I complain of lack of sleep. And you remind me of options I have for a happier and healthier night. Thank you.
All of you who are walking, and encouraging me to walk, thank you.
Everyone who says be sure to take supplements that reduce leg cramping, thank you too.
Friends who make me remember I have essential oils to use to help with sleep, I really appreciate the suggestion.
That does not sum up all of the care here that we express for each other. People who are sick, lonely, puzzled. I think we can all say "thanks for sharing and caring."
I guess that is what is on my mind this morning. I am actually awake because I actually slept when I was supposed to. good morning, good night, good day to all of you.

Yes there are so many amazing people who truly care about each other. I feel like this is a family of sorts. We all have each others backs and would do most anything for one another.

I am somewhat embarrassed as my problems are so small. We have members who are seriously ill or in other bad situations or grieving and I just wish I could do more for them. I did sleep better last night. I know we have been through a lot with you and with others and I for one am glad to see your life doing better.

@LovingMyBabies You are right, we do all matter. We are in different places in our lives but we are all on a journey.

@GardenGerty There is no such thing as small problems, we all have problems and they are not small to us. Therefore their not small at all, because it matters to us and all of us matter. =)
Thank you, I am so grateful for how our life has improved! And I am glad you slept better last night too!

The photo is a bust that is in a Park in McPherson. It is the Mingenbacks who are philanthropists. They build facilities on private colleges, like libraries or --cannot think of the word for it. They donate money to improve the communities and they had donated money for this nice park. It is good to thank people who are that committed.

@TiarasOceanView The word I could not find was student unions. They built the student union where I went to college.

Unlike you, I don't think I got enough sleep.
Was awake late last night, and was up early this morning. I did grab my phone at dawn and read a few posts in here, but I still couldn't get back to sleep.
Part of me was looking for the "care" that we do get from myLot, hoping that it could we warm me up and lull me back to sleep.

Oh no worries. I've had this 'disturbance' for quite a while now. Pretty sure I didn't get it from you.

Encouragement is a very valuable thing for so many of us.

I walked more than a mile and a half today. I have been busy since then too. No naps today at all. Yesterday I napped for a total of three to four hours and still slept well last night. So strange.

@GardenGerty Glad you got a good sleep. I was out for awhile yesterday, but today I hope to go for a long walk.

When it is or seems not positive, I chalk it up to not being able to visit in person and see facial expressions and hear the voice. This has always been my favorite site.

It is good to know that whenever we come to the site there is someone we can talk with.

Yes, and just talking things over helps us figure out how to deal with problems.

I am at the end of a good day. I walked, I sewed, I cooked, I worked online. I have one more post to make and then it is off to bed.

After years of insomnia, I have been sleeping reasonably well for the last few months.

I have had issues just since about December. It actually goes in phases and has for about twenty years. I just hate that if I lay in bed and toss and turn I feel I might disturb hubby and if I get up, he knows I am gone and does not sleep well.

It's always good to get a night's rest. Since menopause I have trouble getting to sleep. It drives me nuts but it is what it is. Have a most wonderful day Heather.

I plan for it to be good whatever it is. I have laundry in and will head out for a walk in a little while.
