I've been keeping up with my doctor appointments, am working on being on plan since I've gained some weight and had fun at a soccer game I went to a couple of weeks ago. I also consider keeping up with my support groups as being kind to me.

I do a loving kindness meditation most days.
"May I be safe.
May I be happy.
May I be healthy.
May I live with ease"
You can progress on and send the wishes to others. The traditional sequence is yourself, a friend, a neutral person, a difficult person.
I'm trying to be more accepting of accepting help from others. I'm one of those who hate to ask for assistance and think I should be able to do everything myself. Guess what? I can't.
I'm also trying to be accepting of love from others. My big idea is to love and be loved. The rest is of it is to be gotten through as best I can.

I rest when I need to and let things slide, if needed. I need to find more ways of being kind to myself. I do loving kindness meditations occasionally. But mostly I withdraw into weaving, knitting, spinning and dyeing so I can just forget about other things. These are very meditative for me.

I'm trying to be forgiving of a very difficult step mother who is behaving horribly. Some times I want to write them off, but I think it's better for me and my karma to try to extend some grace to difficult people in my life, though saying that, I only have two, my mother and step mother.
What I do for myself lately is not over extend myself. If I don't feel like I'm up to doing something I don't do it, but more importantly I don't beat myself up for not doing it either.
