Pick-Me-Up Thursday!

Happy Friday eve, y’all! I hope you have had a good week, and that you are looking forward to the upcoming weekend. Remember, this is your weekend, and you do not have to make any plans, but you can if that is what you want to do. My plans for the weekend are to, hopefully, sleep in a little because that is normally something that I never do. I also do not plan on doing anything that is not something that I want to do. Of course, one thing besides sleeping in that I want to do is to clean the house because I do enjoy cleaning the house and getting things organized. This is something that makes me feel accomplished😊! I also want to do at least one more post for Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month!

Do you believe there is power in positive thinking? Is it possible that our thoughts send positive or negative thoughts out into the universe, and those thoughts can become our reality? If we try turning a negative situation into something positive, is it possible that we can change the outcome? Unfortunately, I do think it is possible most people will become consumed with whatever challenge they are dealing with at any moment and cannot see a positive outcome or anything positive at all. It is easy to feel there is no way out of a negative situation and drown in the darkness, but it does not need to remain this way.

There is a chance that I am wrong, but I do believe something is amazing about positive thinking. It may not always work, but what would it hurt to at least try? Life is still going to keep going, and time is not going to stop, so it will not harm anything or anyone to try to think positively😊! What if we try to think more positively and start seeing great changes in our life? Maybe one at a time, we can start making some truly amazing and positive changes in the world! I hope you will find the quote that I am sharing helpful and that it provides you with the pick-me-up we all need on Thursday!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared and the quote was beneficial. We have almost reached the end of this week, which I think is a blessing. My week was not too bad, but I am ready for it to be over and hope I can have a few days with NO complaints or argumentative attitudes. 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!

Always, Alyssa

I know this post is called Pick-Me-Up Thursday, but heck with that I would much prefer to acknowledge today as Friday Eve! As many of you know, the past few weeks have been awful because I have been dealing with way too many frustrations. It would have been much easier if healthcare was not so dysfunctional and expensive in the United States, but it is what it is. I am just glad it is over, at least for the next year anyways. How has your week been? Are you looking forward to the weekend as much as I am? It is not like I have anything planned, but I will not be getting up early for work!

Even though we do still have one day left in the week, our week is almost over! Not that I want to think of today as Thursday, which of course, it is, but I do think we could use a little pick-me-up! Often we have to work hard, but we should want to work hard for a reason. This reason does not need to be for praise or recognition, but because we are doing something we are passionate about. None of us are promised tomorrow, so we need to be sure if today is our last day, we leave something positive behind. We might not always be able to make changes that will impact a lot of people, but they might have an amazing impact on one person, and this should be enough!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared and the quote was a nice pick me up for you! I am looking forward to reading your comments and I will respond as quickly as I can. Yes, it was a long week, but what was one good thing that happened to you this week? Do not think about the negative things, but try to focus only on the good! Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Happy Friday eve, y’all! How has your week been? I cannot believe it is already March. It seems like the first two months went by fast, and apparently, even Mother Nature is confused because these temperatures in the south are insane! I mean the temperatures seem more like early summer rather than what March temperatures should be. Maybe I am wrong, but it should never be close to 80 degrees at the end of February! As most of you already know, I have lived with Multiple Sclerosis for pretty much half of my life, and the heat makes things MUCH more intense! 

The good news for today is, tomorrow is Friday, and the weekend is almost here! Of course, even though the weekend is much closer, we do still have one final day to get through, and I think we could all use a little pick-me-up. I do hope you will find the quote that I am sharing as a mixture of inspiration, motivation, and encouragement! Sadly, even though it is 2023, many people feel it is their right to judge another person. This could never be further from the truth because no one has the right to judge anyone else. Instead of judging, or deciding who is right or, who is wrong, we should all try to lift others up. Maybe it will take more than this to fix a broken country that has failed all of us, but I think it would be a step in the right direction!

With the weekend being so close, do you have anything planned for the weekend? My husband has to work all weekend, so I think it is safe to say that my weekend will be quiet and relaxing as I do not have to work😊! I might try to go to Vision Works to see if I can find another pair of glasses. I do have a new prescription and while I am going to get contacts, I would prefer to not be without my glasses for two weeks while the lenses get changed. I do not like wearing my contacts all day and always wear glasses after work.

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed the quote that I shared today and I look forward to reading your comments. I will respond to all comments as soon as possible. Whatever you have planned for the upcoming weekend, I hope you enjoy every moment of it. Please never forget that 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 you are looking forward to the weekend! Remember, just because it is the weekend, does not mean you must have plans because you can simply do nothing at all😊, which is exactly what I plan to do! It has been a long week and I believe we should not have to be forced to have a schedule. We already were forced to maintain a strict schedule all week.

The week is close to the end and I think we could all use a little pick-me-up. I hope you will find the quote that I am sharing helpful. Unfortunately, we all face random struggles and challenges in this life. It is important to not dwell on these and turn them into something positive. This is the reason for this quote today because I thought it was a nice reminder of what we have survived. No matter what we face in life or how difficult something may seem, look at what we have already made it through because everything we have witnessed and overcome has made us so much stronger!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed the quote that I shared and I look forward to reading your comments. I will respond to all comments as quickly as I can. I hope you have a wonderful day and it is not a busy or long day for you. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

I always prefer to think of today as Friday eve because it sounds much better than Thursday! How has your week been? For some reason, even though it has not been a super busy week, it has felt incredibly long. Life can be so exhausting because it seems like someone always needs something or someone feels the need to complain. I am not sure what people think complaining is going to accomplish, except drive others crazy. Maybe that is their goal or maybe they just like to hear their voice. No matter what I go through in life, I do try to never complain because it does nothing positive!

We have managed to make it through most of this week and only have one final day to survive because the weekend returns! I think we could all use a little pick-me-up to get through one more day, which hopefully, will not be too terrible! Unfortunately, we too often must deal with people who are unkind and rude, which none of us deserve. I hope the quote that I am sharing will help you handle these poorly behaved people and that you know that you are MUCH better than that! I do still believe when people are rude to others, they are just unhappy with themselves and want to make others feel just as badly as they do.

Now that we are so close to the weekend, do you have any plans? The only thing I know I am going to do is, go through my closet and decide what I am going to donate. I think this is important to do every so often because there are so many people that are in need and if we have things we are not using, there is no reason to keep them. I used to be better about doing this every few months because there was a place where we used to live that helped women and children who were in an abusive environment. Regardless of if I can find another place like that where we are living now, there are still so many homeless the need warm clothes in the cooler weather.

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared and the quote was a nice pick-me-up for you. I am looking forward to reading your comments and I will respond as quickly as possible. Always remember, YOU are important and YOU deserve nothing but the best in life. Please never forget that 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 you are looking forward to the weekend. Do you have anything planned for the weekend? I plan to try relaxing and resting because I am still a little rundown from the mini vacation for my husband’s birthday. The only thing I will ask you is, please stay safe. Several people that I work with and remember, I work from home and have not met anyone I work with personally, but I learned that several of them were diagnosed with COVID. I am unaware if they received any of the vaccines or boosters, but they did say how miserable they were feeling, and I would not want anyone to feel that way.

It does not matter who we are or what we have overcome in life, we all have bad days. When we have a bad day, it can be difficult to get over it when others are behaving negatively or unpleasantly. Yesterday, I was frustrated because of a few things that occurred when I was out, and I felt like someone was throwing me under the bus and making a mountain out of a molehill. I ended up chatting with another co-worker about the issues and told her how foolish I felt. This co-worker has become a good friend and she was able to say a few things that turned my bad day into a much brighter day. This is the reason I am sharing the quote I am today, and I hope it helps you deal with challenging days a little better😊!

We may not always be able to say the right things when communicating with others, but we can most definitely say the wrong thing that will make another person feel terrible. Our words and actions can make a HUGE difference in another person’s life, but we always want it to be for the better. There is already too much negative that occurs in the world around us, but we can do something positive. Unfortunately, we will never know the way someone else is feeling or if they are struggling and ready to give up on life. I know that none of us want to be the reason why someone does something they cannot take back!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed the two quotes that I shared, and they resonate with you, and you will turn around and share them with someone else. I have always believed it is easier to be kind, understanding, and compassionate with others as opposed to being mean and rude because that takes too much energy, and is a waste of our time. All it takes is to do or say something nice to another person and it could change their entire day for the better😊! I look 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!

Happy Friday Eve y’all! I hope you are having a good week. I was unable to do a post the past few days because I was battling with a nagging headache that refused to go away. It started to worry me a little because I read about a new variant of COVID which is causing headaches and body aches. I typically do not worry much with headaches or body pains because I deal with them SO often, but after seeing there is a new COVID variant that is bypassing the vaccine, I worried a little. Thankfully, after three days of pure misery, I am finally starting to feel a little better.

This week has been painful because of the nagging headache I was dealing with, but this week is nearly over now. Of course, we do have a couple of days left before the weekend returns and I think we could all use a little pick-me-up to help us push through the last few days of this week, or at least I know I could! I hope you will find the quote I am sharing with you meaningful and that it resonates deeply with you. I enjoyed this and wanted to share it hoping it will brighten your week. I think it is extremely important to be kind, respectful, and considerate of others because we never know what they are going through in life.

Now that the weekend is so close, do you have any plans you are looking forward to? The only thing I am looking forward to is the chance to possibly sleep a little later than 7:00 AM. It does not matter what day it is, I always wake up at the same early time and never take naps. I am also looking forward to staying at home and having a quiet weekend. Considering my week has been challenging, I really need a couple of days with nothing but calmness and peace!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared and I look forward to reading your comments. I will respond to all comments as quickly as I can, so please bear with me! I hope the last part of your week goes even better than the first part and you have an amazing day. Stay tuned as I have two other posts that are nearly complete, I am just putting some finishing touches on them. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

Always, Alyssa

I know I said this is “Pick-Me-Up” Thursday, but let’s not think of today as just another Thursday and instead view today as Friday Eve! Seriously, this week has been long enough and Friday eve makes it seem so much better because it has the word “Friday” in it😊! How has this week been for you and how happy are you the weekend is so close😊? Even though the week has felt long, the only terrible day was Monday because of the left over migraine that refused to let me alone!

We have survived the majority of the week and we just have one last day to get through until we are home free and can enjoy the weekend! I feel we could use just a little pick-me-up to help us through the end of this week and I hope you will find the quote I am sharing helpful! I have always felt that music was powerful and magical. Yes, we can listen to the music and enjoy the way it sounds, but it does not take much to feel the music. I do find the way musicians put together the instruments and the lyrics to create something incredible. Many times just listening to a song, you can understand how the writer of the song was feeling and what they were going through in life! Music is what gets me through the long days of work!

Are you someone that enjoys music and if so, what kind of music do you prefer? There have been days I wake up with a song in my head and even some nights there is music playing in my mind! This might sound slightly insane, but I promise it is not that I am hearing voices😊I think music might be part of my soul! I have my favorite songs I listen to when I am feeling down or even when I am extremely happy, but there are millions of amazing songs out there of all genres.

Thank you for visiting my site today! I hope you enjoyed what I have shared and I look forward to reading your comments and learning what kind of music you enjoy the most! I hope you have a wonderful and stress-free day, and your plans for the weekend keep your spirits lifted. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!

I try my best to never miss work, especially considering I work from home, but I did have to miss work yesterday. I have been dealing with increased pain and dizziness for several days, which I am assuming has to do with the constant weather changes because my body takes time to adjust so when the weather changes too frequently, I do not have time to adjust. The weather changes tend to wrack havoc on my body and make me miserable, but I should be used to this after over 20 years of living with Multiple Sclerosis.

It has always been difficult for me to call out of work sick because I end up beating myself up about it and think I should have just pushed myself a little harder. Missing work yesterday took a lot for me to do, but I will say I needed the time to take care of myself, which has never been something I was good at doing. I am much better as the caretaker of others than I am at taking care of myself. Even though I hated missing work, I will say that my amazing supervisor was understanding and a few of my co-workers even sent me messages to check on me. I guess you can say, I work with some incredible and very caring people😊!

We have made it through the majority of the week and only have a couple of days left before the weekend returns. With that said, I think we could all use a little pick-me-up to help us through the final part of the week! I hope you will enjoy the quote that I am sharing with you today and that it provides you with the fight to get through the last part of this week! The worst thing we can do to ourselves is to be an obstacle and get in our way of success because we are better than that and deserve more. We are strong and amazing individuals with much determination and strength! Of course, we all need a reminder of this!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you have had a good week and you are feeling well. I hope you enjoyed what I have shared today and you found the quote helpful to get through the rest of the 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!

I am not going to say happy Thursday because I prefer thinking about today as Friday eve! The weeks seem to feel much longer than normal and I cannot figure out why! The only thing that has changed is the weather is much cooler, which I do like because I do not do well when it is super HOT! The weather has been much easier to tolerate, which makes sleep better! I do feel rather lucky because one of our cats feels she MUST sleep with me all night long. The other night the poor little girl cuddle up and did not move once, which caused me to wake up with my arm dead asleep😊! After a long day dealing with people that want to complain, my cats are one of the only things that make everything better.

Yesterday, I had my second one-on-one meeting with my supervisor, which I used to dread or panic about but I do not anymore. Not only do I have one of the best supervisors I have ever had, but I also have an amazing team to work with😊. These are things that make going to work easier as we are working more than we are at home enjoying life. Of course, I do work from home, but I am meaning home doing nothing but relaxing with my sweet and loving cats!

Thankfully, we are near the end of the week, which makes the weekend MUCH closer. At this point, we can almost taste the weekend😊! Even though the weekend is so close, we do still have a little left of this week, so I think we could all use a little pick-me-up! I have been fond of this quote since I first found it because I think it is incredibly true. I have always believed that no one comes into our lives by accident and all the events that we have experienced happened for a reason, even the ones we did not enjoy or regretted. The people that have come into our lives and everything we have been through have made us as strong as we are today!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I shared and you found the quote meaningful. I do hope you are having a good week and staying calm and stress-free as much as you can. I am looking forward to reading your comments and promise to respond as quickly as possible. Please never forget that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes!
