Do you believe things come in threes?

Do you believe things come in three's?  I 'm not sure but I am on #2.  First I killed my dog that was last week, then yesterday my little lady (foster clien) fell and broke her hip.  Man i can't believe I haven't made a stopped at wendy's.  Although I have been right straight out .she went to surgery tonight. (she is 87 has lived with me for almost 10yrs and is mentally retarded so doesn't understand)  I thought about doing chinese buffet ya know stress talking but rationalized it with myself that I am going to need to save the $  cause she will be going to a nursing home from here. Worked. Anyway due to everything I missed another support meeting and my walk but  tommarrow is another day  THANKS FOR LISTENING!!!!!! Hopefully it is just a wise tale that things come in threes other wise I will never get over this plateau lol.  tuna

Hang in there! Things do seem to happen in bunches but whether or not the old wife's tale of them "coming in threes" is true or not I can't really say for sure.   Keep your chin up and keep smiling. Just remember that you can't fail if you keep trying. You're so right when you say that "tomorrow is another day." Each step we take brings us closer to our goals. If we falter for whatever reason, all isn't lost as we can certainly pick ourselves up and keep going! Take care! Anne

Hi Tina! I am not sure if I believe it but they say it does happen.  I will pray that its not true for you!  Good for you in talking yourself out of turning to your old habits!! We also missed you at the support group meeting, your name came up last night as the person who always said that "They operate on your stomach and not your head!"   Remember that!!  Things will get better for you! Stay positive!!  

I do happen to believe that things come in three's....good and bad.  It seems to happen that way in my life.   As for being anxious waiting for the other ball to drop, just remember, even if it's not something wonderful, it doesn't have to be terribly terrible to count as something bad.  Spilling milk, stubbing a toe, etc.    But remember, if your going to believe the "3 Theory"  about the bad stuff, then you have to give equal affirmation to the good stuff that comes your way too.   Count your blessings.....it'll help keep things in perspective.  And Congratulations for doing some great self-talk!!!  Keep it up!   I'll remember you & your friend in my prayers.  Tomorrow is going to be fantastic!!  So get ready to celebrate! Blessings, Yvonne

Tina, I missed you at the meeting last week. I'm sorry about your dog. How is your little lady doing? I hope she's feeling better. I don't believe  things come in threes.  I hope this week is a better week for you. ~dori~

I am hoping to go to the next meeting which is when?  My little lady is now in a new home but instead of eating I am doing lots of sewing to do the craft fairs which I love doing.   Anything to do besides eat still on a plateau though I just keep bouncing the same 5lbs back and forth since sept actually.  thats okay though at least its not 100lbs

Tina, I'm sorry your little lady is in another home. The next meetings are in November. November 6th and 20th are the regular support group meetings at 6:30 pm for anyone. November 13th is the emotional support group meetings at 5:00 for post ops 3 months or more out. I'm planning on going. I'm usually late to the one at 5:00 pm because I wor****il 4:00, but I want to go, so I don't care if I'm late. I hope to see you there. ~dori~
