Community Support and Self-Reflection

What could a health-shared community do to support you or others during fall, moving into winter? And we're thinking about ideas for engagement, conversation or resources that can be incorporated. Well, when you think of autumn, you also think of Halloween. You know, you think about who you want to be, you know, you dress up, you put out funny things. And, you know, maybe in a group, you can just talk about yourself, like, what it is that about you, like, well, if you could be an animal, what animal would you be, you know, and try to like get into things to try to learn more about yourself, not so much of like, what's right and wrong, you know, especially in when you don't when you have a lot of things on your medical list, sometimes you don't want to talk about that. Sometimes you just want to listen to somebody else. And sometimes you want to explore your inner self and nobody's listening. So I think bringing out your inner self is a gift if you can do that. Because all of us, no matter what we're challenging, no matter what season, we are who we are and we have to bring out the beauty of ourself. We don't have to be sad. I mean, sad is a feeling in any season. Some people hate summer because it's really hot. Some people hate autumn because it rains, like you said. Some people hate winter because they feel like they're a bear. They're hybrid. Then you have spring. Everybody in the world loves spring. you'll never hear anybody say anything bad about spring, maybe the bees, but you know, so I just, I don't know. I think for me and the journey I've been on these past two years, I feel like there is so much in life that if you bring in the negative about your health and your wellbeing, you're not gonna change. You have to bring in, yes, I have diabetes. Yes, I have sleep apnea. Yes, I have a lung disease. Yes, you know, I have whatever, you know? And you wanna take care of your body. And in the autumn, another thing is you're switching seasons the really hot to like so-so to cold, lather up. You know, your feet are dry, you wore different shoes, you know, lather up every day. Make sure your feet are good, especially with diabetes. You know, you gotta work on your feet like you're working on your hands. You know, you want your hands to look nice and soft and you get your nails done every once in a while to feel good. I mean, I get a manicure maybe twice a year. When I feel like I need a change, that's what I do. You know, you don't need a manicure every day, you know, or every week. You know, there's other ways to bring beauty to yourself. And if you love yourself, you are the captain. You can do anything in moderation to feeling better. How do I agree with that?
