This week I like to talk about our limits and when they get pushed too far. I know that I have had this happen to me these past couple of weeks. I was not sure how to handle it. So I had to look for something that would help me calm down.

Remember what makes you feel at peace and happiness. I know that I had to think and push myself into what I need to do. It is not always easy but it works in the end. Baking and reading help me. When I am baking I listen to pod cast and that also helps direct my mind to something else and calms the rest of me.

At night I go to bed early to read and that directs me to what I am reading and calms me to be able to sleep which I need. I know what I need and I just have to figure out how to make it happen for me.

I know this post has taken me a little longer. It’s hard to type one handed that is for sure. When you have a lot of things to do, but when you have to do it slow and one handed. I just know that my limits have been tested , but this is a time when I get to know myself. I know that changes are happening and I can’t stop it.

Thank you for following my journey and getting to know me.

HolidaysHolidays

With the holidays coming up it is hard for some of us. We all have struggles, sometimes we need help. I know that I have a hard time because my mom passed away around Christmas and it has never been the same to me. I do things that I enjoy and it helps me remember my mom, but that’s not always enough.

Right now we have major issues that we are trying to deal with. Around the holidays money is tight. I do everything I can to give back to others even when money is tight. My daughter has a baking business and we sell as much as we can to make other families have Christmas.

Plus when others are dealing with missing family members around the holiday season. I know that I am one of those people. I lost my mom the day before her birthday and a few days before Christmas. It has never been the same for me. I know I have a friend that deals with the same things I do. I just want to skip the holidays all together.

Please everyone that reads this remember there are people going thru hard times and you might not even know it. Keep them in your thoughts. Plus last thing is to remember those animals that don’t have homes this holiday season too.

Happy holidays to all

Healthy EatingHealthy Eating

As I learn to eat better I think about what is healthy and what is not something I need. I know there are all kinds of diets out there but that is not the kind I need. I don’t need to lose weight I need to put healthier foods in my body. I agree with some of the things others do like planting your own fruit and vegetables. But homemade is the best because then you know what is going on to the dish you are making. I think getting meat from somewhere you know that it is grass fed and how it is raised is an excellent source.

When it comes to eating, everyone will do things differently. I know that food is costing more, so we all need to find ways to eat health and save money at the same time. It is not easy for me as well. I have to find things that do more than one thing for me.

I know that I am trying but it is not easy for me. I try to make better meals and go out less cause you never know what is in when you order. This last year has taught me a lot about some people and what they believe in. I can’t always believe in the same thing but I can agree with some of it.

If you have land do what you can to make the most of it and grow what you want to eat. It is more healthier, plus it turns out you can learn new things on top of that like canning which is a good source.

I know next year I am going to try new things and learn new skills. I have what I want to do and I hope that things go my way for once and I can.

Happy Holidays

MEME

I would like to tell you a little about me and why I am doing this blog. I started this blog a few years ago but things just kept me from doing it full time. Now that I got things better I wanted to let others know things I do to help myself. So I started making little goals for myself to help me stay calm. I have Ulcerative Colitis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. I have to deal with both for over 15 years. It has made it hard for me to work outside the house and be around people. So I deal with Anxiety and depression a lot. Each day is different for me. I have those great days that I can do a lot and I am happy. Those bad days are not as fun. I am quiet, uninterested in doing anything that normally makes me happy.

This past week I had a few days like that. I had to try and figure out how to bring myself out of it. I am doing better today but I’m still having a medium day. I have a good support system in place that helps me and just listens to me.

I have an email you can ask me questions or just wish me luck on this journey.
