Who is Family?

Today I want to talk about family and friends. There are those you have that are family, but there are friends that you concert to be family. I know I have a few friends that I have more of my family than the ones that are family. I know the friends that I do have will be there for me faster than family members that I have. I want to help my family and the ones that I concert to be my family if I can. It is hard at times to spend time with everyone, but if I have learned anything with my health it is that I can count on a few.

There are people out there who don’t concern their pets as family but I know that I do. It is amazing what dogs know without saying anything at all. My dogs know when I need to have them close to me and the times that I need my space. That is why a lot of people have therapy animals. I know that there are times it is hard to get out of my house and not be judged. I do what I have to do to get thru my day. It is not always easy but I want to help.

If there was a way I could help without leaving my house I would do it. Everyone needs help in one way or another. I treasure my friends that are in my life. I know that I can’t see them as much as I would like to but I know they are there.

Thank you again for letting me do this, it is a great journey I am on and I can’t wait to see where else it takes me.

This week I wanted to let you know a few things I am doing this week. I am going to see a hand surgeon to figure out what is going on. Plus, to see if I have to have surgery on my left hand to fix the problem. The next one is a big one. I am going down to the Mayo clinic again to get a procedure done. My specialists are down there so sometimes it’s better to do them there then up in st. cloud area. I never enjoy the prep for them, but sometimes you do what you have to. Staying as healthy as you can is important for me. I know others count on me.

When you think about your health it is not just physical, it is your mental health too. I know that is what I have the hardest time with. I try and figure out ways to make it better, but it doesn’t always work. I just have to remember that I need to live my life simply and enjoy each minute I have.

I think of my mom at times, because she had it rough and I know that I have support she didn’t. I miss her everyday. Every morning I thank God for letting me have another day with my family and dogs. I have a lot of people in my life, but I only have a few good friends that I enjoy in my life.

That is all for this week. I have to get ready and it is going to take me this whole week.

I am exciting about this because it getting together with family and friends and having a nice time. plus we are getting new foster puppies. Yes we are taking on 2 new puppies that are around 8 weeks old and we are temp foster one until tuesday so we will have 3 for a few days. This luncheon is about 2 birthday (1 that was in july and 1 that in september) we re doing this instead of going out to dinner which I love the idea. I know not everyone is on board with it, but it not about them it about the birthday people.

So I am doing most of the side dishes and one of the desserts. which as much of you know I love to cook and bake. I have other bring the main part the meat. which is ok in my book. well after we get the new foster I will put them out there and show them off.

LearningLearning

This week has been one that I had to learn how to change and start from the beginning. It has been hard for me because I am not sure where to begin. Eating is a big deal for a lot of different reasons. When you need to learn how to eat and not make yourself sick all over again. I have to eat small amounts and the right stuff.

I had some tests and procedures done and now waiting for the results is hard. It just adds more to what is on my mind and what I need to get done. I also need to take it slow and get better and my energy level back to where I can get things done. I know that I want the results to be good but I am scared.

The more time I have to wait, the longer the stress level goes up and I can’t sleep and it’s the only thing that I am thinking about. I know that things are not always going to come out perfectly but I can hope that they do.

I am taking it one day at a time to learn how to do everything again. Everyday is a challenge to get things done, I get tired of not having the energy level that I used to have. I thank my husband and daughter for doing everything for me and they both say the same thing.

I want this Christmas to be a good one for both of them. Trying to figure out ways to make sure they are doing good and have what they need. Christmas is supposed to be the happiness time of the year, but not for me it is always hard to get thru the month of December.

I have came to the end of this post and I will be trying to catch up and be better again.
