Living life with a chronic illness is definitely not easy. But I do my best to push through all the barriers this illness puts in front of me! In my heart and mind, I believe maintaining a positive outlook on all situations in life will carry us through to much better times! I hope you find the information that I provide both helpful and inspirational!
Hello Tuesday! I hope that making it until Tuesday means that your Monday went well and you are feeling good about the week ahead. I do not want to get ahead of myself, but the two interviews I had yesterday seemed to have gone well and I even have another interview scheduled for Friday with another company. There is no denying that the last month has been slightly upsetting and a little discouraging, but there is a lot to say when we do not give up and throw in the towel. Many things in life are unsettling and can make us feel defeated, but the only way we can fail and be completed defeated is if we give up. I cannot lie there were many times during the past week I wanted to give up and surrender, but I think I am a little too stubborn or rather determined to do so.
I want to be able to help others surpass times of struggle because we all need to be lifted during our lives. Someone I know through Shipt delivery and now consider a good friend helped me see that I do deserve more in life than the past month provided. I respect other’s privacy, so I never share names but will be sure that she sees this! I want her to know how much she has helped me and how much I appreciate her! I think it is amazing how true it is that we do not encounter people by mistake because everyone enters our life for a reason!
The quote that I am sharing with y’all today, I found encouraging and meaningful, and hope it will do the same for you. I will explain why I found this so meaningful but would love to know what you think as well. There are always going to be some issues in life that may break us, but there are just as many reasons to smile. I know the most challenging times in life can cloud seeing the reasons to smile, but I promise they are there we just have to look a little deeper!
Thank you for visiting my site today! I hope you enjoyed what I have shared with you today and I look forward to reading your comments. I will be responding to all of your comments as quickly as I can. Hopefully you are having a good week so far and your week continues to get better until we make it to Friday again. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
WOW, it feels like it has been forever since I did anything in the blogging community! While I was on my much needed vacation with my husband last week, I took a short break from doing anything involving a computer. The two of us went to my happy place, the BEACH, not only to celebrate my birthday, but also our 8 year wedding anniversary . We had an amazing time together and had absolutely beautiful weather! It was so great being far away from the stresses of work and be able to just sit back listening to the ocean waves! I honestly find the sight and sounds of the ocean , while reading a great book to be the best way to relax and refresh!
I am very far behind on reading all of your posts, which I already know are fantastic. Unfortunately, I do have to work the weekend so I can’t say I will be able to catch up, but I will still try.
Considering I have been away for almost 2 weeks now, how have y’all been doing? I hope you are feeling well and your month has started off great! October is beautiful and my favorite month, which I am not just saying that because it is the month I was married in. I have always enjoyed the change in weather during October. Normally it isn’t too hot and not that cold, it is just right! Sounds kind of like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but yet so true! Of course the southern states are not always on the same page with my thought process and it was in the high 90’s for the first week of October, but thankfully over the weekend the temperatures are going to drop! It is crazy though because when I say the temperatures are going to drop, I mean drop more than 20 degrees in one day!
Like I already stated, my husband and I had a wonderful vacation. Of course it wasn’t long enough and it was painful to return to work. The insane thing is we didn’t get home until the early morning hours and I had to work that day. I was so exhausted; nothing bothered me at all because my mind was still at the beach and maybe I was half asleep still. Of course things not bothering me only lasted half a day and I will tell you more about this later. My boss is still the same idiot he has always been!
For my birthday we had a lovely dinner at a restaurant that was oceanfront ! Considering we were at the beach during the off season it wasn’t overly crowded, which was great! Thankfully my husband did not tell the waitress it was my birthday, so I didn’t have to deal with the wait staff singing happy birthday to me and embarrassing me. I do not like to be center of attention and would prefer to go unnoticed!
The day after my birthday we went to another oceanfront restaurant to celebrate our 8 year wedding anniversary ! Back to back celebrations were nice and peaceful! It is so hard to believe we have already been married for 8 years , I mean where does the time go? I still remember the day my husband proposed like it was yesterday and that was 9 years ago!
I don’t know about you, but before last week there were times I was awake at sunrise, but never actually watched the sunrise. Standing out on the beach in the early morning hours watching the sun come up was a beautiful sight and pretty powerful! It really is amazing to watch as the sun slowly makes its way up to shine light on us all around the world! To think the sun I watched come up will also be seen on the other side of the world at some point.
The weather was so clear we were even able to watch the sunset! The sun sets slowly over the horizons and it is quite magical, especially near the ocean! Of course I do think everything is magical and hypnotizing when I am at the beach!
I hope y’all have a wonderful weekend and you are able to enjoy every moment of it. I will be back to my normal routine next week and maybe even some extra surprises. I want to thank you for stopping by my site today and please know that I always appreciate your comments. Please never forget that no matter how busy I am, I am always sending y’all LOTS of love , comfort, and many positive vibes!
Any competition a person decides to participate in requires a strong passion, courage, dedication, and a healthy competitive nature. Do you think when a person lacks the cutthroat competitive attitude can excel or will fail miserably? When engaging in a competition, do you think they are always fair, or do you believe the judges know who will win the contest from the start? Throughout your life have you taken a chance on a competition, and if so, what was the competition? I am unsure how I feel about competitions and have done a few. I put great effort and heart into the two writing competitions I entered, but nothing came from them. I will never say I regret the competitions I entered, but anyone who lacks self-confidence can make a person feel worse and question their abilities. Of course, even with the understanding of the challenges of winning any competition, they should be acknowledged as a fun way to build knowledge instead of a must-win, and no matter what the competition is, there are many talented individuals with vastly different strengths in the world.
A few months ago, I received an email regarding another writing competition. We were dealing with losing our cat Sundance during this time, and I was not in a good state of mind. I thought about writing about the devastating loss for a moment before writing the thought off and decided against entering. A couple of days ago, I received the same email, but the deadline for submission was different as it was not for an early bird submission. Even though the loss of Sundance weighs heavy on my heart and mind, there will never be a day it does not affect me, and I know taking chances is a crucial part of life, so I am considering trying again. Of course, I have several ideas on what to write about, but I am unsure of the best way I should proceed. I always keep a notebook close by so I can add my ideas as they come to my mind because they come to me at random times. I want to ask if anyone reading could share any advice, thoughts, or ideas, please?
I have mentioned this several times before, but I have had a strong passion for writing for as long as I can remember. There once was a time when I wanted more than anything to be a journalist, but that never came to fruition. Do I regret not pursuing this career path? I cannot answer that question honestly because I do not know. Part of me does regret it, but the other part believes that everything happens for a reason, and for reasons I cannot explain, journalism was not in the cards for me. I have no doubt it would have been a fascinating career, and I would have excelled because of my love for writing, but I can honestly say there are some topics I am too passionate about and could have been a weakness in the bigger picture. I am always surprised how these reporters can get through some segments without showing any tears or signs of any emotions. So many things will make me sad and in tears, but others will cause me so much anger I end up in tears anyway. I do not have the talent or ability to turn off my emotions and spill out all over my face. I guess it is a good thing I am not the gambling type because poker would be terrible with my facial expressions😉.
For anyone reading this post and who writes regularly, what makes you enjoy writing? Do you remember when you first started to enjoy writing? What brought you to continue to do so? Have you ever entered a writing competition, and if so, why did you decide to try? Are there topics you enjoy writing about more than others, and if so, why? Are there topics you avoid because they are not enjoyable? Do you have a process you follow when you write, and if so, what is that process? Do you enjoy pen-to-paper writing or on a computer? My writing process differs because I typically prefer to start writing using a notebook (as I have said, I have many for different reasons) but then type everything on my computer. I believe the reason I write this way is because I feel more connected to what I am writing when I handwrite. I have no idea why this is, but my process has always been a little unique, or at least that is what I have been told.
If you are writing for yourself, do you still reread anything to make corrections? When you write for others to view, do you have different ways to check spelling and grammar? When I participated in the two competitions, not only did I reread my paper several times, but I had a few people I trusted to read them because I wanted to make sure the paper made sense and did not need to correct anything. I also use a website called Grammarly for confirmation everything written is clear, spelled correctly, flows the best way, and is precise. Of course, some of this is because I am a little (okay A LOT) obsessive and critical of myself. After the last competition, I was disappointed the article did not place higher because I worked extremely hard on it, and it was about a fascinating and admirable young lady who permitted me to write her story. Everyone who read the article, even the young lady the article was talking about, thought it was great and a winner. After the disappointing outcome, I said I would not do another because it was too upsetting and made me feel like I was not a good writer.
Thank you for visiting my site today! I hope you are having an enjoyable weekend and have done something that made you happy! The smallest things can make a positive impact on our lives. We do not need to go on extravagant vacations or massive shopping sprees. Many times, simply sitting on the front porch or a bench in the park can bring much happiness at no cost. Money will never buy happiness because this is an emotion we can choose to embrace. I sat out on the stairs of our porch and had a long conversation with one of the outside cats I feed several times a day. I had to try to make him understand that our neighbor does not appreciate his “Tomboy” behavior and does not understand how sweet and loving he is. Logically, I know this poor cat had no idea what I was saying, but I wanted him to feel loved, accepted, and safe! I do want to read your thoughts on the many questions I have asked. I know some people are shy about adding comments, but please know I appreciate any comments or advice you might have. Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love❤️, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes🌈!
Happy Friday😊! I hope you had a lovely week and can spend your weekend doing what makes you the happiest. Most of us spend our weekdays doing what we must do, but not what we want, so the weekend should be days we do what we want. Our daily lives stay consumed with many things that are not important, and we obsess about those unimportant things because the media constantly shoves insanity down our throats. I say this because there has been nonstop coverage of the former president’s trial that is taking place in New York, and the media adds in thoughts about other cases he is facing. At the end of the day, do you think any of these issues matter? None of them matter to me because they do not affect my daily life, and I can do to fix them. With everything going on in our lives, we have many more important things to focus on and might have a chance to make positive changes.
At the end of each week, we should use Friday to let go of any negative emotions felt before the weekend begins. The weekends are too short to allow anything negative to invade our peaceful days. Many people have forgotten what the truth means because lies have become normalized. When we are lied to, it can cause us to be hurt and feel many negative emotions. Instead of getting upset about the lies and wanting to seek revenge by treating the liars the same as they treated us, we should try another approach and feel pity for the person. We never know who we can trust, so we should keep our eyes open, and mouths shut! We might not know when it will happen, but the truth, no matter how upsetting it might be, it will always come out. We cannot go through our lives believing everyone we encounter is lying to us because there are honest people in the world, and they should not be treated negatively because they are one in a million that is honest.

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed this post, and the quote I shared helps you to let go of any negative emotions you might have, and you can fully enjoy your weekend! I am looking forward to your comments and will respond as quickly as possible. Anything you have planned for the weekend or anything unplanned, I hope you enjoy and stay safe. You might not be surprised, but I believe it will rain☔ where I live all weekend, but that seems normal now. I think the wires got mixed up because I had always heard April showers bring May flowers, so I am unsure what constant May showers bring. Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love❤️, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes🌈!
Happy Friday Eve y’all! I hope you have had a good week and looking forward to the weekend! The weather has been so up in the air and crazy this week. It is hard to know which season it is because of all the changes. All in one day, we had a nasty thunderstorm, which made the temperature cooler, but after twenty minutes, the sun was shining and was humid. It appears Mother Nature got the memo that it was Mental Health Awareness Month, and she is showing us the issues she deals with. The problem with Mother Nature is that she continues to forget to take her medication to control her issues😉! I know most normal people look forward to weekends, but I am looking forward to Monday because I finally begin the class I have been waiting for! Considering I already have the basis of the class, I do not think it will be too difficult, and the class will build my knowledge so I will be successful in my new career path!
Life does not always make sense and can become slightly confusing, but almost everything in life, whether positive or negative, will pass and not last forever. For every struggle we face, we will hopefully experience something remarkable that will occur sooner rather than later. I enjoyed the quote I am sharing with you today because I believe strongly that sometimes the best thing to do is laugh through the tears that are building and never forget how much strength you have inside! Of course, this might not work perfectly every time you face a negative situation, but even if it works half the time, it can make life easier. I have always believed that everything happens for a reason, and even when we do not understand the reasons, one day things will become much clearer, and life will work out for the best. Think about how challenging life could be if you did not believe in yourself and have hope for better days because, without these simple things, it could be much worse than it seems now.
As the week is nearly over, what has been the best part of your week? Logically, I know not everything can go right all the time, so what was the worst part of the week? The best part of my week was I finally made progress with one of the outside cats. The cat I worked hard to earn her trust and I am getting closer to is the feral cat who recently had kittens, which I still have not seen yet, and I hope they will make an appearance soon. The worst part of the week was going to the dentist and dealing with a headache for several days afterward. If you had to decide on one thing to look forward to in the next few days or weeks, what would you say that would be? Of course, I have mentioned several times I am beyond excited for my class to start.
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope the quote I shared resonated with you, and that you found it a great pick-me-up because, during these weeks, we all need it at some point in life. I look forward to learning what you think about this post and reading the answers to my questions. I would never want to pressure you to answer the questions, so please do not feel obligated to answer anything I asked. I will respond to all comments as quickly as possible! Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love❤️, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes🌈!
Happy midway through the week! How has your week been going? I hope your week is going great and continues to improve😊! I mentioned I had a dentist appointment on Monday, but if I have failed to mention, the dentist is one of my least favorite places. I do not think I ever had an awful experience with a dentist, but I have always dreaded going. I do not enjoy the smells or sounds in the offices, and sometimes the staff is not pleasant to be around, but the entire process is uncomfortable. Overall, my appointment went well. The dentist and her assistant were great because they kept me distracted while they worked, but I had a nasty headache for several days after my appointment. I believe my headache was caused because my mouth was open for about two hours, and I was in an upside-down position most of that time. Over the past couple of weeks, I have gone to the dentist too many times, and I believe I am done for a while, or at least until another tooth misbehaves.
Now that we have made it halfway to the weekend, we only have the other half left and will have survived another week! Thankfully, I will not go to the dentist during the last half of the week, so it will not be too terrible😊! No matter how the week has been, we must remain optimistic and believe good things are coming. The more we tell ourselves something, the more we can believe it into reality! There are reasons I will never understand why people are quick to judge another person, but they have no idea what the person has gone through in their lives. We cannot decide how anyone else lives their lives because, for the most part, it has no effect on our lives. How another person dresses, their hair color, whether they have tattoos or piercings, or who they love will not affect my life in any way, and no one should judge me for my choices. It is 2024, and everyone has a right to live their lives in a way that makes them happy. Everything just said is why I decided on the quote I did to share with you, and I hope you can see the meaning of it!
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I shared today, and the quote shared resonates with you. Is there anything you know you logically must do but hate doing? I logically know how important it is to go to the dentist, but I try to avoid it at all costs. I have a high pain tolerance, so it is not that they are causing me extreme pain while I am there, but mostly, my jaw and head hurt for days after the appointment. I hope the rest of your week goes well, and I wanted to let you know I have a few posts I am trying to get finalized and hope they will be posted soon. I am trying to get things caught up before Monday because my class finally starts, and I am SO excited!! I will respond to all comments as quickly as possible! Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love❤️, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes🌈!
Today is the start of a new week, and I hope it will open many doors for all of us. We can try again to accomplish goals we might not have been able to achieve last week but do so with an open and optimistic mind. We can only achieve greatness when we view every situation with good intentions and optimism. It is not always an easy way to view life, but I believe it is necessary. If we go through our lives thinking only of the worst-case scenarios, can we accomplish anything, or will our pessimistic outlook hold us down? I might be wrong, but a pessimistic outlook will never result in anything beneficial and might interfere with our best lives. I realize many cannot find ways to appreciate Monday, but it is a fresh start, and good things might happen! I have exactly one week before my class starts, and I am beyond excited, so next week I will be over the moon! I might not be as excited about today because I am going back to the dentist for a couple of fillings, but the dentist promised me she would have her dog, and I can keep the dog with me during the fillings! I am easy to please when animals are involved!
Not every day of our lives will be sunshine and happiness because dark days will appear. No matter what obstacles try to get in your way, keep pushing on with all your strength, and you will overcome them. Nothing lasts forever, and the hard times will pass but will test your strength and bravery. Once you overcome the challenging parts of your life, you will have the courage and determination to move forward. I know life can be difficult, but if we do not give up, we might surprise ourselves with what we can accomplish. It is easy to lose hope because there has been so much damage done in the world and our lives, but if we can try holding onto a slice of hope, we might see some positive and amazing changes that benefit our lives! It cannot hurt anything to at least try because what is the worst thing that can happen? It might not be best to think about the worst thing that can happen because we do not want to bring negativity into reality, but hopefulness is crucial for something positive to believe in.
It is the beginning of a new week, so is there anything you are excited about and looking forward to? It is never easy to let go of the weekend, especially if it has been enjoyable, but I hope you had a lovely and relaxing weekend! My weekends are typically unexciting and dull, but that is what I enjoy most. It is nice not having plans or anything demanding to think about. Even though I am not working, the weeks can be demanding and sometimes frustrating, especially if you deal with nonsense like pharmacies and side effects from illnesses or diseases. The pain I experience because of Multiple Sclerosis never takes a break, and the evilness is relentless. On the positive side, I am earning the trust of one of the feral cats more. The feral cat that recently had kittens comes by our house several times daily and continues getting closer to me before hissing and backing away. I believe this is progress😊!
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you found the quote I shared motivating and optimistic and helps to begin your week with the best mindset. I always look forward to reading your comments because I enjoy our interactions. I will respond to all comments as quickly as possible, but it will be after I get home from the evil dentist☹. I am unsure why I have such an intense fear of the dentist because this one seems nice, and I love her dogs, but it is not something I look forward to doing. I hope you have a great day and that each day that passes until Friday gets better and offers you many new opportunities. Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love❤️, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes🌈!
Loss can distort our sense of time and may cause months or years to feel like only days. Although I am sadly aware our sweet cat Sundance passed away three months ago today, I remember every moment as clearly as it was yesterday. It is so hard to wrap my mind around the thoughts that three months ago, I had to witness him struggle in pain and take his final breath. Many have told me I did everything I could to take care of him, but I still feel like I failed him, and the image of his lifeless body haunts me. Sundance had a loving and pure heart and knew only love, kindness, and acceptance. Why did Sundance have to get an inoperable tumor on his lung, and why could the doctors not remove it and give him a donor’s lung? Why do bad things happen to innocent animals, but the vilest humans will continue living without issues? These issues hardly seem fair to me.
I know the way I am thinking about this loss is due to the continuous grief felt. The never-ending pain from losing our precious cat has been relentless, and his memories are in every part of the house and our hearts. I will always be thankful for our years with Sundance, and there will not be a day that passes that we will not miss him. For reasons I cannot fully explain, our house has an emptiness looming around because this little cat consumed much of the house and our hearts. Even though it has been three months since he passed away, I continue to expect his presence to be waiting when I get home, and although he is not there physically, I can feel the love, kindness, and magical parts of him that will never fade.
I cannot explain my reasons, but I blame myself for not saving his beautiful life. Of course, I realize I did everything I could to keep him comfortable and loved, but I am not sure that was enough. I might not be able to keep my emotions in check, but I know no human being can stop death from occurring because it is part of life. Mortality is not easy to accept and understand, but it will happen to all of us. Our mortality is much different than that of an innocent animal, or at least it is for me. Animals are one of the only creatures in this world that are purely innocent and deserve more than most receive. Animal cruelty does not make sense to me, and how anyone could ruthlessly kill their pet is a form of narcissism and evilness that is beyond shameful.
Thank you for visiting my site today. I do not typically do more than one post daily, but this one is an exception because Sundance should always be remembered, and never forgotten. I am thankful Sundance lived a happy life and was treated with love and respect. My husband and I do not have two-legged children, but we treat our cats like they were our children and may even treat them better than some treat their children. Of course, I even treat the outside feral cats with much love and kindness because I do not think they receive it from anyone else, which makes me sad. I hope your day goes well, and you can appreciate how I feel about the loss of our cat, but hope you never go through anything like this. Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
Happy Friday😊! What a week it has been. I was at the dentist’s office on Tuesday, which took much longer than necessary, but they did nothing, and I had to return yesterday. The appointment yesterday was x-rays and a cleaning, and the appointment was not nearly as long as my appointment on Tuesday was, and it went rather well. I spoke with the head dentist, who reviewed the x-rays and helped me determine a better way to move forward on Monday when I will be returning a third time for minor dental work. This is huge for someone who fears going to the dentist, three appointments within days of one another. It was about two hours before I made it home, and when I pulled into the house, I was greeted by two of my outside kitty friends. It was adorable to come home to them waiting for me to give them more food. It seems my outside kitty crew is more excited when I come home than my inside cats, but that is probably because the inside crew expects me to be home and feed them.
We are at the end of the week and look forward to another short weekend. With that said, we must try to let go of any negative feelings we experienced during the week that might be harboring. Why waste time holding onto those negative feelings when something has not been corrected or changed, yet we cannot do anything about it now? Anything that might have occurred at work, all of the issues we experienced will remain until Monday. Next week could offer us another chance to make changes. If something in our personal lives goes wrong and we feel resentment or hostility, we can take the weekend to reconsider what occurred and deal with the issues when we have the necessary clear and calm mind. No matter what caused the negative emotions, we must laugh as much as possible, apologize when we should, and let go of what we cannot change. We might forget these simple things when we are feeling upset or angry. I hope the quote I shared resonates with you and helps you to see things more clearly and let go of anything you cannot change immediately.
Do you have anything planned for the weekend? The weather has not been friendly lately, as there have been crazy storms. Many areas experienced tornadoes, and if you live in one of those areas, I hope you remain safe. I find tornadoes intriguing and extremely terrifying. It blows my mind how suddenly the sky attacks at random areas. There seems to be no logic in the path of the tornado. The weather changes sporadically, so I never know what to expect. Yesterday, it looked like it would rain with the possibility of thunderstorms all weekend, but now it appears it will be cloudy. It doesn’t matter what the weather does anymore because I plan to be home either cleaning, writing, reading, or simply relaxing!!
Thank you for visiting my site today! I hope you found the quote I shared helpful to let go of negative emotions, and you can enjoy your weekend in peace. Remember that when another person causes us to feel frustrated or angry, they may not remember the disagreement, and it causes them no distress, so we should not let it ruin our weekend. I am under the belief that when I leave the house, I do not care what another person thinks about me because they do not have to interact with me if they do not want to. I try avoiding people as much as I can because most people irritate me with their demeanor, plus we might have a lot of things we do not see eye to eye on. I will respond to all comments as quickly as possible! Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
Happy Friday Eve😊! I hope your week has been going as well as expected, but even better! I have been working on my second post for mental health awareness, but it is just taking me longer than I anticipated. Part of this is the increasing level of fatigue and simply not feeling all that well, which I blame on the weather. For reasons that will never make sense to me, I have an abnormally hard time adjusting to any changes in the weather, so when it changes frequently, I tend to feel terrible until it stabilizes. However, there are more mental health issues than I ever knew. I do want to let everyone know something vitally crucial in life mental health issues are serious, and we must try to show respect to those experiencing this terrifying experience. We must understand we are all living in unique and challenging times, and many suffer the consequences, so we are all in these challenges together.
We have almost survived this long week with all the challenges and frustrations, but the weekend is so close. Considering I am fully aware of how difficult life can be, I think it is essential to have something to pick us up from any low position it might be in today. Something must change the week into something positive and enlightening as one day remains. Of course, we can focus on the upcoming weekend, but they do not always go according to plan. I hope the quote I am sharing offers you the pick-me-up you need to help you through until the weekend arrives. I know Mother’s Day is on Sunday, but unfortunately, we do not always get to spend the day with our mother. If you cannot see your mother on Sunday, be sure you call to let her know how much she means to you. We do not get to choose our families, but we should try to appreciate them. A few of the most critical things we have in our lives are family, love, and forgiveness because without them, what would be the point in living our lives?
Every person has numerous differences and challenges, but we find ways to deal with everything gracefully and with dignity! Families and friends bring something unique to our lives, whether positive or negative. We have a choice to make if someone brings too much negativity into our lives. Do we continue allowing the same negativity to cloud our happy lives or cut ties with the person to avoid the darkness? If we are dealing with people who have mental instabilities and they refuse the necessary help, should we try to help them through the process of treatment? I believe we should always try to help others, but that is because I am a giving person who will always put everyone else’s needs ahead of my own. Unfortunately, there is only so much we can do for another person before you feel it would be easier to convince a brick wall there is a problem.
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you found the quote I shared a good pick-me-up, and that you enjoyed the rest of the post. Do you have anything planned for the weekend? I am certain that it is going to rain all weekend, but it rains where I live a lot! Some people enjoy the rain☔ and while the sound of rain can be soothing, it causes me way too much pain. It is just like everything else in life that is difficult, we learn to adapt and deal with it. I look forward to reading your comments and will respond as quickly as possible. I have another dentist appointment this afternoon. Even though the dentist appointment is only a cleaning, I am NOT looking forward to it! Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love❤️, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes🌈!
Happy halfway through the week😊! The week is halfway over, and we only have the second half remaining, and it should be easier! How has the week been going for you? I hope everything is going well and you are maintaining your sanity in the chaotic world we are living in. We might not go through the same situations, but we can see the many issues happening in the world that inflict the world with different stresses. Some of the insanity we see on the news seems more comical and not real news, but I suppose what we see is the media considers critical news. I think it is rather shameful there is nonstop coverage of a former president’s legal trial and “alleged” criminality because I believe there are far more critical things that should be acknowledged and relayed. I think it is obvious that I am more than tired of hearing the former president’s name, seeing his face, and hearing the lies coming out of his mouth. I apologize if you thought what I just said was offensive or if it upsets you, and if you disagreed, I would love to see your reasons.
That is enough of my opinions regarding the news, and now it is time to move on to an inspirational quote. Wednesdays are great because we have survived half of the week, and the weekend will return soon! I hope you find the quote I shared inspiring and motivating because we can all use that during these long and warmer days. I thought it was only spring, but these temperatures feel more like summer, which terrifies me on what summer will be like. I do not get along well with the temperature when it is too hot because it makes me feel terrible, and I do blame that on Multiple Sclerosis. Regardless of how your week has been so far, how do you plan to get through the rest of the week? If your week has been great, I am sure you want it to continue the same, but if the week has not been great, I hope it gets much better for you!
My dentist appointment yesterday went better than expected, but it was frustrating. It never fails because even when you have a scheduled appointment, there is always a LONG wait! I waited one hour before being called back to see the dentist, and then I had to sit in the chair waiting for the staff to get their thoughts together and be on the same page. By the time everything was planned, if I wanted the dental work done the same day, I would have had to wait longer, and I had already lost my patience and did not want to wait any longer. I have an appointment tomorrow for a cleaning and will go back on Monday for the rest of the work to be taken care of. I want everything done and out of the way, and I will return tomorrow and hope there is not another LONG wait again!
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I shared, and you found the quote inspiring! Often, it is the smallest of things that can make a bigger difference, but I did love the quote. I thought it said a lot about Wednesdays, but your opinion on it matters to me as well. I always want the chance to read your thoughts on what I share and will do my best to respond to your comments as quickly as possible. Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love❤️, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes🌈!
Happy Tuesday! I hope you are having a good week so far, and your week will get even better each day. I have mentioned before that I dread going to a dentist, and I know it is an irrational fear, but I have felt the same even for minor visits. I typically avoid going to the dentist until I do not have a choice, and today, unfortunately, I must go to the dentist. While simply brushing my teeth on Sunday, one of my teeth on the bottom broke. Thankfully, I am not in pain, or maybe I have a higher-than-normal tolerance for pain, but at this point, the only problem is the tooth broke, and there is an annoying sharp point on my tooth. I hope the dentist can do something simple to fix the issue, and once I am employed again, I can do a crown or whatever else she thinks should be done. I know I am being irrational because I do not enjoy going to get a typical cleaning, but these people always find something else they think I should do. If they were paying for everything they think should be done, I may feel differently. In my defense, the problems with my teeth are not because of anything I did, but because of the massive amounts of steroids I had to take due to a relapse.
I received an intriguing phone call yesterday from our veterinarian, which caught me off guard. They know how hard I took it when we lost Sundance, and I was unsure when or if we would get another cat because I did not want to go through that terrible loss again. I might have mentioned when I went there to donate the food we purchased for Sundance’s special diet because our cats had no interest in the food and something about wanting a bunny and maybe someday a kitten. Okay, that is not true because I know I did😊! Anyway, one of the kind ladies at the front desk called me to let me know someone had dropped off a kitten to them they had found and wanted to be sure the poor baby had a good home, and she wanted to see if I would be interested. Honestly, I might be more inclined to say yes if it was a boy because we already have two girls, and I do not think they would appreciate another female, and I do not think I could convince my husband to get the kitten. In a way, I think it was a compliment because she knows me and that I would provide this kitten a good home, but at the same time, I am not even sure I am ready for another kitten right now because it might be too soon.
I am excited that my class will begin in less than two weeks. I have been looking forward to this since I enrolled in the class, and the wait has felt like a year. I have purchased my books, and everything needed, which would have been much more challenging if it were not for the help of my mother and her husband. They graciously helped pay for the expensive books and will be forever thankful. All I must do now is pass the class and the state exam. Considering I understand the basics of the class and not working, I do not think I will have any issues accomplishing this, but I know I will still be extra hard on myself. One of my biggest problems is that I never think I am smart or good enough, so hopefully, after passing everything I need to pass, I will be more confident.
How do you find ways to stay inspired when you have always been your worst critic and many things have gone wrong? It can be challenging, but the only thing we have control over is how we react to issues in life. Often, we must inspire ourselves to keep pushing forward and refuse to give up. Before we can be inspiring, we must learn to believe in who we are and our many strengths. We do not have to lead anyone else, but many will follow our lead if we display strength, courage, determination, and resilience. I will admit that believing in my abilities is something I struggle with and continue to learn, but I can promise I will never give up and know someday, things will go the right way. The moment we give up and surrender is the moment we fail ourselves. We should always strive to be better than we were yesterday and realize the strength it has taken us to get to where we are today because we have all gone through hard times.
Thank you for visiting my site today! I hope you are doing well and feeling the best you can. What do you think about the kitten idea? My husband did not say “NO” right away, so maybe he is considering the idea. There is no telling because he was starting work about fifteen minutes before I mentioned it to him, and he might come to his senses. The unfortunate thing is, I love animals and would take more in if I was given the green light🚦 to do so! I have several weaknesses, but my love for animals is not too bad, is it? I look forward to your comments and will respond as quickly as possible. Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love❤️, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes🌈!
