Mid-Week Inspiration!

Today is the halfway part of the week! This means that we have survived the first half of the week, and the second half should be easier and better! The even better news is that soon we are going to be able to enjoy a long weekend! How has your week been so far? Even though I have been looking forward to Friday since Sunday night, the week has not been too bad! I am just a little tired, and I need a good night’s sleep, which has been difficult with how HOT it has been! I guess the hot temperatures are one of the downfalls of living in the south!

We have made it through what has always been the most challenging part of the week! Considering we do have a couple of days left in the week, I think we could all use a little inspiration! I hope the quote I am sharing with you today inspires you, and that it helps get you through the rest of the week! The ocean has always been my happy place, and nothing troubles me or stresses me when I can hear the sounds of the waves. Sadly, it has been a few years since I have been to the ocean, but I am hoping to get there this summer!

Do you have anything planned for the long weekend? I am not sure if I have any plans, but I will enjoy sleeping later and having more quality time with the three sweetest, and most loving cats in the world. It does not matter if I am having a difficult day, or if the evil Multiple Sclerosis is acting up, our three cats can lift my spirits and make me smile! Of course, the boy cat has asthma and takes medicine twice a day. Most of the time, he does not give me any trouble, but every once in a while, I have to battle with him. No matter how much trouble these three try to cause, I would not trade them for anything in the world!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared and that you are having a good week! I am looking forward to reading your comments, and I will respond as quickly as I can. The week is closer to being over than it was yesterday, but I hope the rest of your week goes well. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa

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!

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!

Happy midpoint for this week! How has your week been? My week has been pretty busy, which has caused me less time to work on my blog posts. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and I think it is important to recognize this because it is often misunderstood. Many people do not understand mental health issues and it causes people to feel ashamed to admit they are experiencing problems. Please know that I will be doing at least one post more indepth about this. I have been working long hours this week, but only because I have a follow-up doctor’s appointment today with my pain doctor. I am not concerned at all because these appointments always go the same.

At the midpoint of this long and exhausting week, I think it is important to find a way to stay inspired. What or who provides you with the most inspiration? People who are honest, kind, courageous, optimistic, loyal, loving, and equal inspire me. My late grandfather was this type of person, and I try my best to be like him as much as I can! I am hoping that the quote I am sharing will at least provide you with some inspiration. I find these qualities the best kind to have, and I do my best to follow these. Smiling is easier than frowning, having compassion is much greater than being judgmental, being blessed is better than being stressed, and love is far nicer than hate because this world is too full of hate!

What is the first thought that comes to mind when I say the words love and equality? Love is magical and should be valued. Equality is, unfortunately, not something that is often practiced in the United States, and that is heartbreaking to me. I feel that we are all created equal and the only thing that should matter is the way we treat others. Considering people do not seem to be thought of equally in the United States, is it really any surprise that many people suffer silently?

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope your week is going well and you are looking forward to the weekend that will return soon. 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 Midweek, which means we are that much closer to the weekend! How was the first half of your week? All I can say is, I hope the last part of the week is a little better and less chaotic. I guess, even if it is as crazy, the weekend is getting closer. I think it is important to look on the bright side of things because it is all a state of mind. I do believe if we focus on all the negative in the world, we will only experience the negative, but if we try to focus on the good things, maybe we will experience more positive things! It cannot hurt to at least try, what do we have to lose?

Today is not just Wednesday, it means we are at the halfway point in the week. Just think, in the same amount of days it took to get to this point, we will be enjoying the weekend! I think it is important to get inspired at the midpoint of the week. I hope the quote that I am sharing with you inspires you and it helps get you through the final part of this week, which has seemed extremely long already. Have you ever wondered why people behave in such a rude and irrational way? My goodness, I wonder about this daily. Even my cats are less pushy and much kinder. The only way I am able to tolerate this type of behavior is to kill them with kindness because it seems to confuse people into silence!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed that quote that I shared and it provided you with enough inspiration to make it through the next few days or at least today. I hope you have a wonderful day with as little stress as possible. 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!

We are halfway through this week, which is an amazing accomplishment. I do not know about you, but this week has been very challenging, and exceedingly frustrating. I thought Monday was a difficult day, but my goodness, yesterday was twice as bad. Please do not get me wrong, I am glad my work is getting busier, but it would be nice if people could be a little nicer and more understanding. I am starting to think that is asking too much of people though, which does not make any sense to me, and I do not think it ever will. The good thing is that I do have several people that I can lean on when I get overwhelmed and aggravated enough to cry!

Although we have made it through the first part of this week, we still have the last half to survive! I hope the quote I am sharing provides you with enough inspiration to get you through the next few days. No matter how people will try to portray their lives as perfect, no one has a perfect life. We all have struggles, and it is important to deal with them the best we can. It is crucial to have at least one person you can trust and depend on when you need someone to vent your frustrations to. Trust is a sensitive issue because it can be lost in less than a second, and it may take years, and sometimes not at all to gain back.

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you are having a good week and not allowing anyone to steal your sunshine, like I have done this week. I try to believe when another person has an unpleasant attitude, they are just unhappy in their life and it is best to kill them with kindness. I am looking forward to reading your comments and I will respond as quickly as possible. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Midweek Thoughts

Happy Wednesday, y’all! We have made it halfway through this week, which means we are so much closer to the weekend that we all look forward to. I want to stop trying to rush the weeks because life is already extremely short. If we rush the weeks, will that not make life even shorter? I do not know the correct answer to this question. However, something I have noticed is that so many people forget to appreciate the things and people they have in their life. We tend to forget to focus on the great things in life and instead only focus on the negative. Why do we do this? Of course, we all deal with complications in life, but there will ALWAYS be another person that is dealing with something much worse.

Maybe we are dealing with a difficult or frustrating job. The better way to view this is at least we have a job because there are still so many unemployed and struggling. Maybe we are battling with other challenges such as pain, which believe me, I know this awful is, but it could be so much worse. Look at all the people that have lost the ability to walk due to an accident or illness. Are they giving up and surrendering to their challenges, probably NOT! It makes me so sad how selfish and self-absorbed people have become in the world. None of us were promised an easy life, and none of us are owed an easy life.

So many people that I know and care about have struggled with various illnesses, including cancer. Unfortunately, some of these people have already lost their battles. Is this fair? Absolutely, NOT! Would any of these people dwell on this? Absolutely, NOT! I am bringing all of this up in this post because I want to help people see the benefits they have in life and never dwell on any of the terrible things. There is NO point in this because we still have a life we must live. Honestly, I get so frustrated with the thoughts that some people seem to have, which is they are entitled to more. I do not know what makes anyone believe they are entitled to anything.

Although I want to be informed about things in this world, I must try my best to avoid the news. There are so many awful things that happen every day. How many mass shootings have already happened in the United States? Too many! Too many innocent people and children have lost their lives due to gun violence. It is senseless and never should have occurred. Why should children have fears about going to school? Why should parents fear sending their children to school? Why should anyone fear being out at a grocery store or mall? None of these fears should be in our minds. Yes, I do understand too many think it is their right to have a gun, but it is no ones right to kill innocent people! We all have a right to live life without fear!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope what I have shared has resonated with you and I would love the chance to read your comments. What do you think about the way things have been in the world? Do you believe there needs to be massive changes in order for life to be better and if so, what changes? I hope you are having a good week. My week did not start off great and Monday was a terrible day, but it is getting better. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Congratulations, y’all, we have made it halfway through this week, and the weekend is SO much closer! How has your week been so far? Yesterday was a SUPER busy day at work, but it was only because there were a few people out, and I had to be about three people. It was hectic, but the day went by fast. The one good thing was, I did learn something new that I am sure will be very helpful in the future. It is crazy, I have been with my company for a year now and I just learned this new task! I enjoy learning new things and feel it will make me a more beneficial asset. 

Now that we are halfway through this week, and we can feel how close the weekend is, I think we could all benefit from a little inspiration to get us through the last part of the week. The first part of the week is normally the most challenging, so I believe the last part will be a breeze, or at least I hope it will be. I hope you will find the quote that I am sharing as inspiring as I did. Of course, the reason why I found it so inspirational is because I am my own worst critic and will be twice as harsh on myself as anyone else could be. It stands to reason that even though there are so many other obstacles faced each day, I end up being one of my obstacles. I just hope this is not something you find yourself doing as well.

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed the quote that I shared and you are having a good 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 have made it through the first half of the week successfully, now we just have a few more days before the weekend will return! I tend to think the first few days of every week are always the most challenging, but what do you think, is it the first few days or the last few days? The first days of my week provided me with an amazing surprise as I received several fantastic compliments at work. I do not know about you, but I find people are quick to complain or make negative comments, and rarely pay compliments to others. I do not work to get recognition but work to provide the best service I can, so when it is noticed, I am shocked!

The weeks tend to feel long, and at the halfway point, I think we could all use a little inspiration because we know there are a few more days left. I want y’all to read and reread this quote because I want you to be reminded of how successful you are, and how much power you have within you. Each decision we make during our lives may provide us with new possibilities, and we need to take time to notice them. Some of these possibilities and opportunities may seem small, but in the bigger picture, everyone is extremely important.

What has been the best of your week so far? Of course, I am sure it will end up being Friday because that will mean the week is finally over. Do you have anything planned for the weekend? The only thing I am planning to do is, try to sleep in a little, clean the house again, do laundry, and attempt to finish the article I am writing for the competition. I am still unsure if anything I write will be good enough, but if I do not at least try, I will always wonder what might have been.

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared, and I am looking forward to reading your comments. I will respond to all of your comments as quickly as possible. It is important to know that there are people out there that appreciate you and all you do, even if they fail to let you know! Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

First day of Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month

Not only are we halfway through the week today, but it is also the first day of Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month. Of course, I am thrilled we are halfway through the week and that much closer to the weekend! How has your week been? I know there are still a few days left before the weekend returns, but is there anything you are looking forward to this weekend? This is out of character for me because I do not like or endorse violence, but there is a UFC fight happening on Saturday that I am looking forward to! The two fighters I am interested in watching are Jon Jones vs Ciryl Gane. Of the two men, I am hoping Ciryl Gane wins because Jon Jones has allegedly hit his wife, and I cannot support anyone who does this!

Normally, I enjoy writing about things during the awareness months because it is interesting and provides useful information to those reading, but this one is a little harder for me because it is not just one month out of the year this affects me. I must deal with Multiple Sclerosis 365 days a year, and it never gives me a break. It would be amazing to get a break from this disease, even if it was just for one minute, but it is something that refuses to take a break. Honestly, I do know it could be worst, and I have an easier form of it, but for lack of better words, it still sucks!

Anyone that has been following my blog for any length of time, already knows that I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when I was 19 years old, which was over 20 years ago. It was a difficult diagnosis at such a young age, but in a way, it was better because I was able to start treatment early. Regardless of when I was diagnosed or how thankful I should be that I was able to start treatment early, it was terrifying because I knew next to nothing about the disease. This is just my first post of the month about Multiple Sclerosis and I plan to do more each week with the information I have learned during the years having lived with this not-so-fun and unpredictable disease. I do hope you will find the posts I shared with information useful!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared and I look forward to reading your comments. Please know that I will respond to all comments as quickly as I can. I hope you have a wonderful day and remember that anything that does not get done today, tomorrow is another day. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
