I understand all those feelings. I've been overcoming my own pain and it feels really good to get back to doing both the things I need to do and things I want to do. Have you tried chiropractic help for your neck? Have a great week and "good job" to you in advance! 

I hope you feel better. 

Your attitude is great.....I am sure you will get all you want to do accomplished...I could use some of your attitude adjustment....will try to do better on that score myself....love your journals...enjoy your week off :-) 

A good day today. The weather is perfect. I spent the day working on my overgrown fence lines. Lots of breaks but a lot accomplished and also sat and chatted with a neighbor on one for longer than I would have spent but OK. Bread is bout to go into the oven a rare happening made white instead of a whole grain. I have some tomatoes from my yard so BLT's this week!! and I have a chopped tomato, basil, with olive oil and a bit of apple cider vinegar marinating in the frig. This tomato mix is simply amazing on fresh bread. Pam, no chiropractor as not a good idea for me. I now what they can and can't do working for one for 4 years. I have a 3 vertebrae fusion and now discs blown 2 above and 1 below that fusion. That fusion has extra bone inserted and a metal plate. Lots of physical therapy direction and exercise is in the program. Also refining some essential oil rubs to help relax muscles and help the healing. I have one that is helping and am working on ideas to make it better. My niece a neuropath in Australia is giving me some suggestions as well. Wish she and her amazing family were close by.  

Bill, I actually do relax. Too often sitting lately with this dang neck issue slowing me down. ;) I also find working in my yard relaxing and workouts at the gym as well especially after work. It's interesting how I can feel the tension of the day melting out of my body when working out.  

Neck.........Pain.......Radiating.....Reflect on this....PLEASE! That was the only sign/symptom I had before my 3rd heart attack. When is the last time you saw a Dr.? Might be worth a check-up. Your words made me uncomfortable. 

I hear you. Try not to redamage anything but if pushing through and taking painkillers is the way to get to the other side of where you need to be mental-healthwise, I applaud you. 

Do something to inspire your effort, like trying a new healthy food or Exesizingsomewhere new 

I know you don't do chiropractic therapy, but have you considered a gentle massage therapist??? It helps relax your muscles and increases blood flow to those tight muscles. And helps with mood elevation >3
