Motivational Monday!

Posted on July 29, 2019 by Positively Alyssa

Good morning y’all! I hope you had a lovely weekend and you were able to do what brings you the most joy. It really does seem like Monday morning comes so quickly. I mean I feel like I was just left work Friday afternoon and yet I am heading back to another long week! Unfortunately the weeks seem to continue getting longer and the weekend just flies by! I guess it could be because things are just way too HOT out and things just remain frustrating at work!

We really do not have much of a choice in the matter, we have to start a new week. We can make the choice and decide to find the positive each day and I really love starting the day with a positive quote, it is especially helpful to start Monday off that way.

Thank you for visiting my site today! I really hope your week starts off well and you are feeling the best you possibly can. I am really looking forward to reading your thoughts on this quote because I know it will be amazing! Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love , comfort and many positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa

A few things that break my heart

Posted on July 28, 2019 by Positively Alyssa

How often do we try doing everything we can for everyone else, but forget to care for ourselves? I can be very guilty of this and even on a daily basis because I only want the best for everyone. It breaks my heart when I see a homeless person that is kindly asking for a few dollars just so they can have food to eat. It enrages me when I witness a homeless person being disrespected and or belittled by an ignorant individual that knows nothing of their struggles. Even though I wonder how such an awful thing can occur, people do fall on hard times and end up hungry without a comfortable place to lay their head at night. There is only one person that knows their struggles and no one should ever judge because it can happen to anyone at any time!

How do you feel when you meet someone that is trying their best to dig their way out of a dark time? For instance, a single mother of 3 who is working 2 jobs just to put food on the table and a roof over their heads? Now it isn’t only a mother that plays the mother and father in this situation, there are single fathers out there as well. They are trying their hardest to care for their children, while trying to be the mother and father.

Why does it seem the number of people who are self-centered and have an entitlement attitude increased so drastically? How is it possible so many people have lost the ability to have empathy for others? There is not a person on the face of this earth that is better than the next person, but yet so many feel they are superior. In a perfect world, everyone would be treated equally and fairness would not be a privilege, but it would be a right!

Another thing that bothers me terribly is the way animals are treated. Animals are innocent and depend on their owners for common needs like; food, water, love , a safe home, etc. How many animals have you seen that hold a grudge and only know hatred? I do kind of think one of our cats holds a grudge for a short time after her nails are clipped, but that never lasts more than a few minutes! Unlike the human race, animals love unconditionally and without ulterior motives! Maybe if humans tried living the way animals do, the world would be a much happier place with far less wars.

Thank y’all for visiting my site today! I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with LOTS of happiness! I cannot believe there is only a few hours left of the weekend before we are starting another 40 hour work week. I guess all we can do now is appreciate short time we have left and be thankful! Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love , comfort, and many positive vibes!

Pick-Me-Up-Thursday!

Posted on July 25, 2019 by Positively Alyssa

Good morning y’all! I hope you had a wonderful week full of nothing but happiness! It has been a long week for me, but I am so happy the weekend is almost here. There are many times during the week that can be frustrating and full of chaos, but at the end of the day it is SO important to leave work issues at work. The truth is, we are with our co-workers at our job more than with our loved ones at home. Of course I only have a handful of co-workers but hundreds of residents that I deal with. Thankfully, one of my co-workers and I get along very well and support each other with all issues that arise.

It is finally Friday Eve so I think we could all use a little PICK ME UP to help us through one last day of the week. I sincerely hope that the quote I am sharing will shed a little positivity to your week because I do find it pretty uplifting!

Thank you for visiting my site today! There is not a day that goes by that I do not appreciate all of your support and fantastic comments! I hope your Friday Eve goes well and you are looking forward to the weekend! Please remember that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love , comfort and many positive vibes!

Motivational Monday!

Posted on July 22, 2019 by Positively Alyssa

Good morning y’all! I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with nothing but happiness! Even though I know I was supposed to rest over the weekend to heal from my fall, I did not rest as much as I should have. I am not good at sitting around doing nothing, but when another dizzy spell hit me, I did sit down and wait for it to pass.

I plan to start this week off slower than normal because I am still having some issues from my falls. I have dealt with dizzy spells for years now, but they are happening a lot more frequently. I am also having more headaches, but at least they are not migraines! I am glad that one of my co-workers is understanding and has even told me that I need to take it easy.

I find the quote I am sharing with y’all today very uplifting because we all have difficult times where it seems impossible to get through. One thing we all have in common is we are strong and nothing will ever hold us down!

I am looking forward to reading your thoughts on this quote! I have no doubt that your views are brilliant and full of compassion! I hope your week starts off well and it only gets better.

I know we all have busy lives and it means the world to me you would stop by my site! I appreciate your kind and caring ways and only wish the best for y’all! I know I have been a little slow with responding to your comments, but I promise that I will respond as quickly as I can. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love , compassion and many positive vibes!

Crazy day with falls!

Posted on July 20, 2019 by Positively Alyssa

Last Wednesday was a pretty crazy day for me. First, I left work early so I could be with my husband at our older cat Chloe’s doctor’s appointment. Chloe is 14 years old and always been very healthy, but she has been losing a lot of weight lately and we knew it wasn’t normal. My poor baby was so scared in the short car ride and even more so waiting in the exam room. Even though Chloe was getting her blood drawn and the doctor got a urine sample from her, she was surprisingly very well behaved. Chloe has a very unique little personality and does not put up with anything she doesn’t like, but she is also incredibly sweet and lovable.

The results from all of Chloe’s tests were not horrible, but they were not great either. My husband and I did some research prior to the appointment, so we would be prepared for the results. However, there is NO amount of research that could have prepared us for the results. Our 14 year old sweet baby girl has early stage kidney failure. We are trying to start the new food that will help her, but so far she doesn’t like it. This is just going to take a lot of patience and persistence to get her to eat the new food!

The evening part of Wednesday was not all that great either. Well it was more the late night part of Wednesday. For the first time in my life, I had two falls. The first fall happened around one in the morning and wasn’t that bad because I landed on my knees. The second fall happened shortly after the first around 1:30 am and it was horrible. I still do not know 100% what I hit my head on, the only thing I can think of is the window panel.

I immediately had a huge lump right above my left eye. My husband was so worried he took me to the emergency room. I was still pretty out of it when we were talking to the nurses and stayed that way when the doctor finally came in. The ER doctor had me wipe the sore that was showing, I guess so he could see if I needed stitches. Thankfully, I did not need stitches. After that, the doctor said we needed to do a CT to make sure there wasn’t a brain bleed. I am relieved the CT did not indicate a brain bleed or anything else that could be dangerous. I was released from the hospital with the directions to rest. It seems that the only thing that helps a concussion is rest!

I was having a lot dizzy spells before the fall, but now it is every time I stand up from the couch. I am not sure if the increased dizziness is from hitting my head or from the MS. I am also having some memory issues and tend to get confused easily.

In my 37 years, I have never had a black eye or a concussion. I hate how awful the nasty black eye looks and have not been able to cover it with make-up. I am going back to work on Monday, but will be sure to take it easy. Hopefully, the nasty eye will be better by then. Everyone knows my favorite color is purple, but I do not want my eye to be all dark purple! I am trying to listen to what the doctor said about reducing screen time, but I am still trying to do some in the blogging community. I of course will love reading your comments, but it may take me a little longer to respond.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend and of course feeling the best you can. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love , comfort and many positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa

Pick-Me-Up Thursday!

Posted on July 18, 2019 by Positively Alyssa

Hello to y’all! I am sorry to be late with this post, but it has just been an insane day! I hope your week has treated you well and you are feeling the best you possibly can. As the week will be coming to an end soon, is there anything about the week that stands out to you? I am hoping that y’all have received lots of good news and much happiness!

The quote I want to share with y’all today stands out to me so much for so many reasons. I hear people talk negative about and to others daily, and this kind of behavior just is NOT right! I hope you will find this quote uplifting and encouraging!

I am a firm believer in treating EVERYONE with respect and kindness! Speaking out-of-turn can and does hurt others. Making fun of someone that is different than yourself is not only shallow, but extremely weak! Teasing someone because of their appearance should NEVER be tolerated. Unfortunately, we see this hateful and juvenile behavior anytime we watch the news or read an ignorant tweet.

Thank you for visiting my site today! I always appreciate your continued support and patience as I adapt to this full-time and VERY busy job. It is honestly way more than the fast pace work, it is dealing with various different personalities that are very difficult to handle. I hope you have a wonderful day and it is stress-free! Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love , comfort, and many positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa

Motivational Monday!

Posted on July 15, 2019 by Positively Alyssa

Good morning y’all! I hope you had a wonderful and very relaxing weekend. I was so happy that I did not have to work and had no plans at all. I do firmly believe after working 40 hours and battling with heat, it is great be able to not rush around and of course sleep in or at least take a nap, while I very seldom do!

For some reason, I am a little shocked that we are already half-way through July. There is a HUGE part of me that is glad July will be over soon because that just means the nasty summer heat will be over too. Unfortunately, the summer heat will be around for another 3 or 4 months, but that will hopefully fly by like the rest of the year did!

I hope you used the weekend to rejuvenate your mind, body and soul you are now ready to tackle the week ahead of us! The quote I am sharing with y’all today really says something I have been trying to spread for a while now and I do hope you are able to see and feel the meaning these short words portray.Thank you so much for visiting my site today. I hope y’all have a great start to the week and it only gets better! Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love , comfort, and many positive vibes!

Let It Go Friday!

Posted on July 12, 2019 by Positively Alyssa

Happy Friday y’all! I hope you had a lovely pain and stress free week! Now let me be honest, just typing “pain and stress free week” almost seems like a fairy-tale or climbing Mount Everest in heals. I am not even sure I can remember a week or just a day, where there was not something that caused stress or pain. I do believe life can be difficult, but through all the difficulties life can still be beautiful.

I think it is much better to not dwell on any of the hardships we have faced or are currently facing because all the stress in the world will never change the outcome. I find it is much healthier, both physically and mentally to just accept when it is time to just LET GO. Letting go is not giving up, it is just a way to take a time out so you can think a lot more clear.

Through my years, I have learned when I am overwhelmed the only way I will ever succeed is to take a short break away from my work location. If I do not walk away from a negative situation, I will probably make an ugly comment or remember something awful from the the past few days, as crazy as that might sound!

Thank you for visiting my site today! I hope you enjoyed and found meaning in the quote I have shared. Isn’t it better to let go of all the negative feelings from all those awful situations we have dealt with and gain much more, like strength, courage and confidence? I hope you had a great week and you are looking forward to some time. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love , comfort and many positive vibes!

Pick-Me-Up Thursday

Posted on July 11, 2019 by Positively Alyssa

Good morning y’all! I hope you had a wonderful week and you are feeling the best you possibly can! Even though our weeks can cause us stress and additional pain, we always manage to fight through anything to get to the brighter side! Y’all know that last week was not that easy for me. There are times when dealing with various personalities can be extremely challenging, but I think it helps to put ourselves in that person’s shoes. Everyone has something they are dealing with and they just need someone to listen to them. Once you show a little empathy, the interaction can become so much easier!

I am thrilled today is Friday Eve and the weekend is closing in! I am beyond thankful that I do not work this weekend and have absolutely NO plans! This week work was extremely busy and there was always someone either coming in the office or calling the office with a complaint . Truth is, what they are complaining about I completely understand and would probably be even more angry than they have been. Seriously, living in the south where it is SO HOT and not having the air conditioner working is unacceptable and should NEVER happen!

The Pick-Me-Up Thursday quote I am sharing with y’all today is great way to look at life. The reason I find this so amazing is because it almost forces us to look for the positive in any situation we may deal with.

First, I want to thank y’all for visiting my site today! I do always appreciate your endless support and everlasting kindness! Y’all are beautiful and amazing people inside and out with so much to offer everyone! Second, I wish for a wonderful day for each and everyone of you! Y’all deserve nothing but the absolute best!

No pressure at all, but I would love to know what you thought about this quote! I know that your thoughts will be fabulous! Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love , comfort, and many positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa

Motivational Monday!

monday 3 Good morning y’all! I hope y’all had a beautiful weekend and were able to enjoy every moment of it because you definitely deserve to! I think I made it clear already, last week was pretty difficult for and did change my moods frequently. It was WAY too hot for WAY too many days and I had to be out in the nasty temperatures for far too long. If someone does not understand how much heat and pain do not get along, they should try walking in my shoes for 10 minutes when 10403353_10152369000532964_1324338832096924487_n it is 98 degrees and see how they feel. I know many do not understand chronic illnesses because they are healthy.

Anyways, those issues were last week and I am not going to allow them to dull the determination and pride I will start this week with. Starting another new week can and should add great new possibilities, but we have to learn how to recognize them first. The quote I am sharing with y’all today kind of fits into not allowing another person’s behavior to cause me any unpleasant feelings. 1304c439f46d2ddfc7f1510122176295

Thank you for visiting my site today. I am looking forward to reading your thoughts on this quote because y’all always have amazing thoughts. I hope your week starts of great and only gets better. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love , comfort and many positive vibes!
