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!
Well, it appears it is that time again, and we must start a new week☹. I am not sure where the weekend went because I swear it seems like it was just yesterday and I was excited for the weekend. It is funny how things work the way they should and go by in the blink of an eye, but those things we all dread, always return to torment us. Did you have a nice, and safe weekend? Honesty, my weekend was very unexciting and even a little miserable. Today, it would be so nice if we could be offered a do-over like they do in movies and TV shows.
What is the best way for you to begin a new week with strength and motivation? I know the weeks can be overwhelmingly exhausting, but it is important to move past that negative emotions and try to view the next days as seven days of opportunities. I am just as bad as anyone else when it comes to Monday morning but, if this dreaded morning does burden us, things would be far worse. We must remember something crucial in this life, we matter, and no one can take away our powers or our self-worth!
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you had a lovely weekend, and you have a wonderful week! I Try to remember, if one of the days this week makes you feel like failure, you are NOT a failure and you live to tell your story. I am looking forward to reading you comments and I will respond as quickly as I can. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
I know the title of this post is Pick-Me-Up Thursday, but I would rather view today as Friday Eve because it makes me feel the week is almost over. I understand that today is technically Thursday, but it makes it feel like the week is far from over and ominous. How has your week been? Is there anything you are looking forward to for the weekend? It might sound boring to most people, but the only thing I am looking forward to about the weekend is not having to get up early! Of course, I will probably still wake up early because in my mind I know I have to take care of the cats, but I hope to not be up as early as I am during the week!
Something that is very important and we must remember in this life is, we never know what another person is going through in their life, and sometimes, when people may come across as rude or distant, it is because of what they are enduring in life. Do not take things personally, but instead, try to be more understanding and compassionate. Maybe you were talking to someone at work or at the grocery store, and they acted unkind, remember, you do not know what happened to that person moments before your encounter. Most of the time, when someone behaves in a less than polite way, it has nothing to do with you, and they might just need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on.
Now that this week is almost over and the month is more than half over, I think we could all benefit from a little pick-me-up! The weeks are so long and can feel grueling, but we must try to find ways to get through them and help others do the same. I hope the quote that I am sharing today will provide you with the slightest pick-me-up and, it helps you get through the rest of this week. Believe it or not, even when you feel down and helpless, you are not alone because many others are feeling the same. We do have the power to help others get through the most challenging times, but we have to at least try!
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared and that it resonates with you in a positive way. Many things I write about stem either from something I went through or something someone I know has gone through and it inspired me. I am looking forward to reading your comments, and I will respond as quickly as I can. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
Today is the halfway point of this week! What this means is, we have already made it through half of the week, and only have the final half to survive. I think this should be much easier because the first part of the week is always the hardest! How was the beginning of your week? Monday was definitely busy, but yesterday was much easier, so I am looking forward to the rest of the week. Who am I kidding? I am only looking forward to Friday because that will mean the week is over! There was a reason why Monday was slightly more challenging, but I am going to leave that for another post because there is a lot to explain!
It is wonderful that we are halfway through the week, but I think there is a chance we could all use a little inspiration. The weeks are long, and even though half the week is over, we have a few more days left. No matter what anyone says, life is challenging, and we all endure a lot of stress. It is easy to feel like we are broken, but we can heal these broken pieces and put them back together again. We can be hurt, physically and emotionally, we are strong, and we can heal. Never allow anyone to bring you down and dull your shine because come rain or shine, remember how amazing YOU are!
I was chatting with one of my co-workers yesterday, and over time she has become a good friend. I have not met her in person, which does not matter because we have bonded over time, and learned that we have a lot in common. Unfortunately, my friend was very upset because people were putting her down on Facebook, which seems this is a platform where people feel emboldened to be mean, and hurt others. I tried to turn things around for her and allowed her to vent without feeling judged or shamed. I took time to tell her to ignore people like the person that was insulting her because that person is simply unhappy with herself, and she should not waste her precious time on people like that because she deserves so much more.
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you were able to enjoy what I have shared and the quote provided you with a little inspiration. The week will be over soon, and I hope you are looking forward to the weekend as much as I am. No, I do not have anything planned, but I will not be working or staring at a monitor for eight hours a day, and that sounds amazing. I am looking forward to reading your comments, and I will respond as quickly as I can. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
Happy Monday, y’all! I hope you enjoyed your weekend, and that you are ready for the new week to begin again. My weekend was quiet, which was nice because it allowed me to recuperate from last week. For many reasons, last week was very long and stressful, but I am hoping this week will be better. I am honestly not sure I could handle another week like last week because it was that awful. The funny thing about some bad weeks is that a lot of the reasons for them being so bad is because of choices we made, or rather did not make. Something I have learned the hard way is, no matter how long it takes for us to make the right choices, it is never too late. Most of the time, the only one to blame for life not going the way we want is ourselves!
At the beginning of a new week, I think it is important to find a way to stay motivated. Yes, I know that is not easy because that also means letting go of the weekend, but we do this every week and it should get easier. I am not saying that it is easier, but we are used to this now! I hope you will find the quote I am sharing with you today motivating and helps make today a little easier. Unfortunately, it seems many people have found power in insulting others, but that is not the way we should be because this behavior does not and never will unite us. The only thing the negative behavior of insulting people will ever do is, create more hate and animosity with everyone around the world. We can do better than this!
How do you feel about change? I do understand that some changes can be terrifying, but a world without change is not the way we should remain. If we cannot accept changes, we would have never left the way people thought in times when people were not treated as equals. I do know there are many people, especially in the United States, that think people are not their equals, but why is this? How many wars were fought for equality? Too many have died, and we should learn to think differently. There are some changes we all need to make in our lives, so that we can live a happier life, and yes, that can be scary. However, without the necessary changes, we may never know what true happiness is!
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared with you today and the quote helps start your week off in the best way possible. I hope your week goes well and that each day gets even better until the weekend returns. I am looking forward to reading your comments, and I will respond as quickly as I can. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
Happy Saturday! I hope you had a good week, but I also hope you can enjoy your weekend! Do you have anything planned for the weekend? One thing I know I must do for my sanity this weekend is to recover from the week and try to forget all the negativity that the week impacted me with. I also know Mother’s Day is tomorrow, so I hope everyone can enjoy celebrating all the mothers out there who gave selflessly and loved unconditionally. Of course, I will not be able to see my mother tomorrow, but I will be sure to remind her how much I appreciate her.
Last week was a little overwhelming and extremely exhausting. Unfortunately, I think many of us get so wrapped up in our everyday lives that we forget some of the simplest things in life. When we get frustrated, it can be easy to forget just how much words hurt. I have said this in another post, but the wounds will heal when we are bruised, but the wounds that words inflict are more powerful and long-lasting. When we forget the way another person feels about a particular situation, and the tears causing another person to shed, they are much more intense and hurtful than almost anything else. Simple apologies can become meaningless, and they do not fix the pain felt. This pain can escalate into increased negative emotions and resentment.
Holding onto feelings of resentment is very unhealthy and can lead to an inability to stop thinking about a specific event or situation. The reoccurring thoughts may linger for days, weeks, months, or even years, and eventually may take over your life. For some people, resentment can begin with disappointment or remorse for something or someone that was lost. Those that battle with resentment may harbor anger and seek revenge, or they might feel that justice was not served for something terrible that occurred. Regardless of why someone feels resentment, it only leads to bitterness and additional anger. These are feelings that do not have a positive outcome and may lead to irrefutable harm.
I know I have fallen into these same patterns in life and get frustrated, and then will say things that I do not mean. Of course, I try to not do things like this, but we are only human, and we make mistakes. I never want to cause anyone any harm with harsh and unkind comments because it will only make matters worse. Words and carelessness cause too much pain and it can be almost impossible to overcome them. The only thing I know to do is avoid talking in the heat of the moment or when I am already past the point of frustration and anger. Sometimes, silence is the best course of action.
How do you handle anger? What is your first reaction when you get upset? Do you find it easier to yell in a fit of rage, or do you walk away from the situation, and ignore how you are feeling? I feel it is better and easier to ignore things and walk away from the situation. I know many will not understand, and some professionals would say this is wrong, but I find it to be the best way for me to survive this insane world. Yes, this does mean that I tend to bottle up my feelings and it does cause something like a volcano eruption at times, but it is not often. I do not like confrontation, but even with that said, I will stand up for myself, those who cannot defend themselves, and for what I believe.
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope that even if you do not agree with me, I hope you enjoy what I have shared. I am so thankful for the weekend, but after the past few weeks, I think a little more time to recuperate. If you have struggled with feelings of resentment, how did you overcome this? I am looking forward to reading your comments, and I will respond as quickly as possible! I hope you have a wonderful, and safe weekend! Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
Sadly, there have been too many random acts of violence in the United States, and I cannot understand this. What happened to humanity, or have too many people forgotten the meaning? I know many of us have seen how some of our political leaders behave, or maybe I should phrase this as how they misbehave. Just because we witness how a political leader acts, it does not mean it is the way we should act. We all have different beliefs and there is not anything wrong with this. It is important to realize we are all in this world together, and we must start learning ways to accept these differences. There is no right or wrong way to live, and it is only wrong to mistreat or be unkind to others. If someone is not causing harm to others, what does it matter? No one should fear living their life the way they want to and the ways that make them happy.
I am sure most of us know what the meaning of humanity is, but I do believe we may need to help remind others of the meaning. The exact meaning of humanity is simple, it is the quality or state of being humane. This is just being compassionate, sympathetic, and or having a generous behavior or disposition. In the rest of this post, I am going to share several ways to demonstrate humanity, and I am sure there are many other ways.
1. Although it may be different to find with some, we should try looking for the good in people. It is similar to there being two sides to every story, everyone has their good and bad sides. It is possible for those who made many bad decisions to have good qualities, they might not be as easy to identify. Even with this said, try to not be so quick to make a judgment because we may not know the whole story. Criticizing and condemning others is NOT a good quality to have, but being sympathetic and compassionate is. It may require a little more work, but no matter how bad a person appears, we should try to see their good side.
2. Understand that everyone has potential. It does not matter how low someone has fallen due to bad luck or bad decisions; everyone holds the potential to pick themselves back up. Instead of putting people down with snide comments, we should try helping them to realize what they are capable of and encourage them. Once someone has hit a low point in their life, putting them down will not accomplish anything positive because they may already feel helpless and hopeless.
3. Choose love and refrain from hate. We all need love in this world. Without love, where is the humanity that is necessary? The way things have been in recent times is a prime example of where humanity is because there has been more hate and less love. The examples are numerous and include random acts of violence that leave people fighting for their lives or losing their lives, and this is NOT fair.
4.It is obvious that many people do not view this the same way that I do, but we should treat everyone equally. Equality is one thing that is important to fight for and what so many have already been forced to do. We all exist underneath the same exact sky and live on the same planet. Does anyone know how many people have already had to fight for equality that they may never win? I am not even going to try to guess the number, but I do know that there are too many. Why are people still, in 2023, being treated indifferently? If more people could treat everyone as if they are equal because they are, the world would be a much better place!
5.Forgiveness can be very difficult to do because of the pain a betrayal caused, but it is important to do. It can be forgiving a family member, a friend, or even a stranger, the best way to show love is through forgiveness. We all make mistakes, and we should learn from these mistakes, but we all deserve a second chance. Of course, it can be after we have already given many chances to another person, it gets even more difficult, but we can be the bigger and better person and try to forgive again. We should learn to try to forgive and just accept the shortcomings of others because we might need the same kind of forgiveness someday.
6.The last thing I am going to mention for now is to show compassion. The definition of compassion is defined as sympathetic pity for the misfortunes, and sufferings of others. If we really want to show our passion and love for humanity, we can start by caring about what other people are going through in their lives. Many of us cannot go far without seeing a homeless person on the streets. Instead of looking away and pretending you did not see them, try to understand how they became homeless. We do not know what they went through or how they landed on the streets, so we cannot assume the reason. They are a victim of circumstances beyond their control, and they need help. I am not saying we should give them our next paycheck, but we might have the ability to buy them dinner.
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you found what I have shared interesting or it has at least made you think. I am not saying that anyone reading this has forgotten what humanity is or you do not practice it daily because I am sure you do! I hope you had a good week and you are looking forward to the weekend. I have been looking forward to the weekend since Sunday night, so you can guess, I have had a long week! I am looking forward to reading your comments and I will respond as quickly as I can. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
We are officially, halfway through this week, which also means, we are that much closer to the weekend. How has your week been? Of course, my week has been busy, but I do enjoy it being that way. I mentioned to y’all about the writing competition and that I submitted my article, well, a few other people that I know knew about it as well, but I told my supervisor about it yesterday, and she was interested in reading it. Without any hesitation, I sent it to her to read! Only a few other people have read it, so I am interested to know what she thinks about my article. She is an honest and fair person, so I have no doubt she will give it to me straight. Not that it matters now because the paper was already sent to the competition, and now I just have to wait until the judges announce the winner, which will not be until October.
Well, the first and most challenging part of the week is over, and we just have a few days left. I do, however, think we could all use a little inspiration to help get us through the final part of this week. What do you think? I am hoping the quote I am sharing will help you at least through today! No one has ever said that life is easy, and if they did, they must have been lying because life is hard. We all face challenges daily, and we get through them the best we can. Yes, it can take courage we did not know we had, but the hard times will pass, and we will be stronger once we do! No matter what challenges we encounter, we must always believe that good things will come our way. It never happens when we want them to, but they will come when it is time!
As I mentioned, life can be extremely challenging. There might be times when we wonder, how you are going to get through some situations. Life can sometimes leave us feeling helpless, and we might feel like we have nowhere to turn. I understand this, but there is always a way, even when the challenges seem never-ending. During these times, even if you feel you have no one to turn to or can talk to, there are helplines available to contact, such as The Samaritans Helpline at 1-877-870-4673 or you can even write about your feelings!
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared and it helps whoever needs this during challenging times. I would also like you to know that if you ever need someone to vent to, I am always available! I am not a professional or anything, but I am very understanding, and compassionate. I look forward to reading your comments, and I will respond as quickly as I can. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
The world we are living in, and sharing, is a beautiful place, or at least it should be. Take a moment and recall all the spectacular sites you have seen, smelled, tasted, and touched. Regardless of if the sky has many fluffy or dark clouds, or if it is a clear blue sky, it appears to go on endlessly. Surrounding the land, we can see, smell, taste, touch, and admire the ocean. These are just two magnificent things we should appreciate. Where do you see the most beauty in this world? Many people want to complain and be upset about humans destroying the planet, but then no one does anything to correct the damage.
How is it possible for us to have many incredibly astonishing things around us, but they are unable to be appreciated, and instead, humans try to demolish everything with unique qualities? The world was created for us to live in together, but we need to learn to accept others for who they are, and not who we think others should be. Unfortunately, it appears that people generally insult and try to break others down, mostly with selfish motives. I do not understand why humans think they are entitled to talk negatively to others, but this is only causing mental harm to others.
Social media is where much of this begins, but why does this happen? So many try to portray a perfect life on social media, but most of this is false. For some reason, people feel empowered when they can hide behind their keyboard and their monitor. Negative comments hurt others, and these wounds do not heal easily. It would be much healthier for everyone when posting on social media, would all remain honest. Everyone has struggles, and no one’s life is perfect. If everyone on social media could be honest, it might help another person that is battling with a similar struggle.
For anyone that posts things on social media, start today being 100% honest, we may have the power to make changes in this world. Nothing is going to happen overnight, but ending the negative comments and lies could make a huge difference in someone else’s life. The mean and negative comments are causing too many issues for too many people that do not deserve this treatment. I do understand, some of this was incited by political leaders, of which I will not mention any names. The name-calling and shame are awful and heartbreaking. Some of this has caused innocent people to decide that suicide is their only option, but this should never be a person’s only option.
Young people are very impressionable, but we can provide a better impression and be better role models for the youth. How many young people must die before the adults in this world behave better? Destroying another person’s self-esteem and views must end. We can make better choices and help inspire others. I do believe social media can be an amazing thing, but only when there is truth. It is hard to know that there is so much hate continuing to build around the world. Negativity can be contagious, but so can positivity😊!
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope what I have shared today resonates with you. Even though the weekend is almost over, we do have a chance to enjoy several more hours, and I hope you do exactly that. I am looking forward to reading your comments, and I will respond as quickly as I can. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
Happy Friday, y’all! I hope you had a good week, and you are looking forward to the weekend! I have been ready for the weekend since Monday morning, which has made the week feel so much longer. One thing that I do enjoy is getting to know new co-workers that come onto our team and welcoming them with kindness. I think this is important because we are all nervous when we are starting a new job, and it can be a more difficult transition when people are not kind, understanding, and welcoming. Do you remember the last time you started a new job? Were people welcoming and kind, or were they standoffish?
The one thing I do not appreciate is when people for whatever reason try to stir drama up. I do not understand this kind of behavior because we are all adults and therefore should behave as such. It almost seems like people are getting bored in their own lives and need something to make their life more exciting. Even when I was younger, I did my best to avoid nonsense, and insane drama because it is obnoxious and exhausting. I prefer to live a boring life without the annoyance of insanity. Heck, if we crave drama this much, it is easy to get a taste of it by watching the news or just following politics for a minute. Anyone that needs drama, one minute of politics will more than fulfill the need!
Where I work, things are getting busier, which I do prefer as it makes the days go by faster. I enjoy my job and tend to learn something new daily. Of course, part of what my job entails is the same daily, but it is when I get challenging customers that I feel I excel. It is trying to explain in simple terms what the process is and where they are at in this process, I enjoy it. I have never encountered any of my co-workers in person, but I have been able to build a strong connection with a few of them, and some I am thankful to have not met in person😊! Would you prefer to stay busy all day long or would you prefer to have more time when you are doing nothing but watching the clock when you are at work?
The United States seems to be in a constant state of chaos and disagreement, which I do not understand. I feel that everyone should be treated equally and with respect. Of course, respect is earned, but we can try giving people the benefit of the doubt, can’t we? Why should anyone feel like they need to hide who they are because they are different than others? Who cares who someone loves as long as they are caring and kind? It should not matter the color of someone’s skin or anything else about them if they are not adding more hate to a world already filled with too much hate! I wish more people in the world could learn to be more accepting and compassionate towards others because we are all here in this world together and need to start behaving like it!
Now that we have finally made it through the week, I think we need to try to let go of any negativity the week may have created. The weekends are already too short, and we should be able to enjoy it as much as we can without any negative emotions. I hope the quote that I am sharing today will help you to let go and just enjoy the weekend! I found this quote to be true and helpful, but I hope you do as well. Life is too short to live in the past or to hold onto negative emotions. We are all initialed to be able to enjoy our weekend, don’t you agree?!
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared, and that you have a wonderful and safe weekend! This week has been long or at least it was for me, but I hope your weekend will be filled with nothing but joy, and relaxation. We do not need to do anything over the weekend unless it is something we want to do. I do look forward to reading your comments, and I will respond as quickly as I can. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
Happy Friday eve! How has your week been? This has been an extremely long and challenging week, but it is mostly because of too many people with some type of thought process they are super important when they are not any more important than anyone else. I find it to be mind-blowing that so many people feel they deserve different treatment than others. I hate to be the bearer of bad news for these people, but I am an equal opportunity hater, and the meaner people are, the less I want to help them. I know many people get caught up in what they want and think they need, but I believe we are all in the same boat and just trying to make it in this crazy world, so we just need to be more patient and understanding!
Somehow, we have almost made it through the week and the weekend will be here shortly, but do have one final day to get through. Of course, with this said, I believe we could all benefit from a little pick-me-up. I am hoping the quote that I am sharing with you offers this for you and you have a lovely day. Sadly, we are all going to encounter people that are so miserable in their lives, they want to tear everyone else down. They say that misery and loneliness love happiness, but it does not need to include you. The people that may insult and criticize others do not need us to hold their hand and make them feel better because this is a problem they need to work out. Of course, since we are all kind people we will try to be nice to them, but we can only do so much.
Do you have anything planned for the upcoming weekend? My only plans are to catch up on some much needed sleep and try to finish up the article that I have almost completed for the writing competition. I am glad I started this article early because it is due on May 5th and all that I have left to do is the final paragraph! Remember, you do not have to have plans for the weekend because it is supposed to be your time to do what makes you happy!
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared and your week has been good! I am looking forward to reading your comments and I will respond as quickly as I can. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
