I get to …

Post by s0_vErY_sCaReD » Sat Apr 01, 2023 6:46 am

My sister put things into focus. Instead of saying ‘I should’ ‘I must’ or ‘I need to’ say ‘I get to’
So this thread is where we can add our own ‘I get to …’ statements. Our shoulda/woulda/coulda statements. I’ll start.
I get to …
… Have dessert
… Walk
… go to the gym
… eat nutritious food
… drive a car
… own a car

Do YOU have any ‘I get to’s in your life?

Ooh, this is a good one!

Hi je ne sais pas, I hope to see you again on the forum sometime! :cowave:

I get to:

Spend time with my doggy
Spend time with my hubby
Eat what I want, when I want
Watch movies with my neighbor
Watch fun K-dramas with my hubby
Go for walks in the cool night
Drink tea all day
Listen to beautiful "heart sutra" music all day on YouTube
Use my language and advocacy skills doing work I care about.
Sleep on a soft bed.
Stay warm and cool.

Huzzah! :disco:
Hugs and PMs are VERY welcome. Gentle advice is OK, too, so long as it's framed as an option, and not a "must do". Thank you!

P.S. -- I'm often away for months at a time, due to health and family reasons. Please excuse my fits and starts. I read and I care, even if I don't reply.
