@AncientBaldGuy @crumbl Hopefully this is more like cookies than "Cookie Crisp" cereal was when it was first introduced in the '70s! So disappointed that I haven't tried it since...

I wonder if any student will ever top this email.

@aliciaandrz Singing 4-part harmony with a group of fabulous women, or practicing on my own to do the same! Or watch some TV with spouse... preferably something amusing.

@aliciaandrz This Anne Lamott post showed up just below yours in my feed just now ❤️

Today is my 38th sobriety birthday. I was a regular old lush, a walking personality disorder, when some sober women and Gus, the Great Universal Spirit, fished me out of the slough. They’d once been there, too, and found a way out. If you need help, the people here will help you:

[KrisP @kdpowell92]

@emilykmay @CartoonsHateHer Yes, so adorable! Would love a tiny skort as an option for the bottom.

@LabMuffin @DrJenGunter @DBelardoMD Those of us who don't digest FODMAPS well wouldn't make it past the first breakfast! Also those of us with oral allergy syndrome because of anything that cross-reacts with ragweed... yikes!

@TheWarOnTara @dsethlewis I haven't been able to find Alka Seltzer Gold at any retailers for years... do they even still make it?

[KrisP @kdpowell92]

@aliciaandrz Sorry about the wrong order of replies here... I'm being forced to learn about how my own perfectionism holds me back, since I am recovering from a recent head injury! I just want you to know that reading your posts is a bright spot in my day! ☀️

@aliciaandrz I should get the "Thought Patterns" section tattooed on the inside of my left arm... 😂:
"Our beliefs and thought patterns shape our view of the situation we’re in, but they aren't always rooted in reality."

Challenge assumptions and conclusions you jump to without evidence...

@aliciaandrz Approach your circumstances with curiosity.

Notice the story you're telling yourself? What underlying beliefs might be coloring your perspective?

Look for alternative, positive explanations that are equally plausible while still acknowledging your reality.

(Whoops, 2/3)

Wow!

@Autumn1952242 @emilykmay Maybe this is my problem... I have 9- and 10- years younger siblings who are also Gen X 😂

[KrisP @kdpowell92]

@AliBess @emilykmay Yes! Another Gen Xer here. I am always off by a decade when I talk about events!

@aliciaandrz I went to your school's younger sibling, UVa. Learning as much as you can while turning into a functioning adult is much easier with lovely profs like you who care about students. I went through undergrad completely undiagnosed and unmedicated and am grateful I survived.

[KrisP @kdpowell92]

@aliciaandrz I ❤️this. I live in Tucson, AZ and have totally experienced the *scream* followed closely by, oh, hi, Sweetie! My hubs calls every animal Sweetie now. 😂

[KrisP @kdpowell92]

@michelleurberg1 @FromPhDtoLife Yes! Singing 4-part acapella harmony with both a chorus and a quartet is the best for me! 🎶Does really good things for my brain. ❤️
