Pick-Me-Up Thursday!

Posted on April 18, 2019 by Positively Alyssa

Good morning y’all! I hope y’all have had a wonderful week! I am so very sorry to say that I am extremely far behind. I still haven’t even been able to read your amazing comments from Motivational Monday and have TONS of catching up to do with your fantastic posts. I am going to do my very best to play catch up on everything this weekend and think I will be able to do so because I do not have any other plans. I think spending some good quality time at home I should be able to respond to your comments, read and comment on your posts as well! It has been a very busy and exhausting week, we were lucky enough to have my mother-in-law visiting for a few day!

Even though I am currently way behind on everything , I still wanted to share a pick-me-up post to get us all through one last day of the week. I know I could use a pick-me-up and hope it will do good things for you as well!

I want to thank y’all from the bottom of my heart for being so incredibly supportive and patient with my late responses. I hope your Friday Eve is absolutely wonderful and you are looking forward to the weekend. Maybe you have some fun plans or maybe your plans are to have no plans and just live in the moment, any of these are great as long as they make you happy! Please never forget that even when I am late with everything, I am always sending y’all LOTS of love , comfort and many positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa

    Florida is pretty and also hot! I have enjoyed it there when we went on vacation. You will probably laugh at me, but I am terrified of alligators. I used to think they were all over Florida! Will it make you happy to be in Florida with family?

    My mother would be the ony reason to live in Florida. My sister and I loathe one another, so that wouldn’t be such a good idea.
    Alligators and crocs are reptiles I’d stay clear of. And, yes… Down there… They are everywhere.

    Well I am sure your mother would love having you closer to her! As for your sister, maybe you could make a fresh start and become friends. Just a thought, but you know the situation better than I do.
    I am terrified of alligators. It is only because of a story I heard many years ago when one ate a child.

    After all that that Troll did to me in the past… No chance in her being a friend of mine. I assure you… Never gonna happen.
    Last year alone, I had heard of 7 stories around where my mom lives of people being attacked and killed from those horrible over sized lizards.

I am so far behind in Reader, having tried the new Gutenberg Editor and done more posts than usual this week … the one good thing is that it is now Friday. 🙂 Thank you as usual for the inspiration. I hope you are out of harm’s way with the bad weather that I keep hearing about in “the Carolinas” Alyssa.

  So far I am not a huge fan of the new Editor, but that is only because I am also not a fan of change. I know change is a necessary thing, but adjusting is difficult. We are out of harms way! The weather did get a little insane yesterday, but I think Mother Nature is trying to chill out, but we will see how long that lasts!! I hope you have a great weekend!

    I hate change too Alyssa. I am only trying it out as I have all kinds of new stuff to learn at work in the near future (new accounting system and Windows 10) so I figured I’d get this over with now and it was a rainy day so I gave it a whirl. The older I get, the less inclined I am to embrace change. Enjoy your Easter Alyssa!

    I tried it with the post I did tonight, but then cancelled it and used the classic editor instead. Now that you have used it, maybe you can give me some pointers! I am pushing 40 and logically I know that is terribly old, but I hate change! I have already gone through so many changes recently, learned a new city and 2 new jobs way too much change in a matter of a few months. We have absolutely no plans for Easter, which I am so happy about! I hope you enjoy your Easter as well!

    Sorry Alyssa – I am way behind in catching up here and in Reader as well – that is due to trying out the new editor. I did six posts in one week, more than I usually do, but I was on a roll and decided to throw myself into it completey to try it. I will show you the link by a fellow blogger that I have showed a few people. And in Hugh’s link are two more links that are helpful. The are below … but for me, who really resists change, I just did one new thing for each post so that I was not overwhelmed – if I am overwhelmed, I will reject an idea right away! 🙂 The first link is Hugh’s and the other links he mentions in this blog post. I had a nice long walk today and got lots of pictures – it was the first day it didn’t rain in 8 days!

    Thank you for sharing this great information! I think we are a lot a like, if I get overwhelmed with something new, I will reject it and give up. I am sure once I start my first blog using the new Editor, I will have millions of questions. I guess there is a chance, I will end up liking it. I guess we will see!!

    Yes we are alike Alyssa. Just do one new thing for each post and master that and you’ll be fine. And, like he suggests, make a draft practice post so you can try new things. Set the publish date for a time long into the future, and then practice doing the blocks. If you type your post in Word and cut-and-paste it into WordPress (that’s what I do), Gutenberg automatically creates the “blocks” (blocks are paragraphs or headlines within the post, or images) … so that makes it easier. It is more time-consuming if you have a lot of pictures though.
