Limits
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.

What to be thankful for?What to be thankful for?
It is the week of thanksgiving and you start to think about what to be thankful for. I know life doesn’t always go your way, but there is always something to be thankful for. I know I have my family, friends and animals. My health I wish could be better and one day it will be.
This is also the time of year we like to give back to others that don’t have as much as we do. I know one day I will be able to give back more than I do now. Each year we find a family or two that needs a little help and give back or pay it forward. I know others would do it if they could but not everyone thinks the same as we do.
This time of year is a little hard for me to because I lost my mom around the holidays and each year that passes I miss her more and more. I know she would love to back and put a tree up and have family around. This is why I give back or pay it forward because I know my mom loved me the best she could. It was not always the fair way but she loved her grand kids and wanted to make sure they got something they wanted.
Just remember that there are animals that need us too. It is getting cold out and they don’t have somewhere warm to stay. Give back to all is the greatest gift of all and it is a way to say that you are thankful for what you have.
So thank you for letting me do this all year long and I will continue as long as I can.
DinnersDinners
This week I have been making new dinners and made a new change. I was tired of buying junk food and it just sitting around and not get eaten. So I am not buying junk food so if my family wants Sweets or snacks they can have Fruit or Vegetables. The other options was I am going to plan dinners for the week and make a desert or cookies or something for the week. Monday I made my first one after I got the dinner all ready.
it was interesting because I never made a cake in the microwave.
Plus here is Tuesday dinner this week also.
I could eat this one because it had cheese and I can’t have dairy.
Eat week it fun make a list of dinners and desert and going shopping for anything I need if any.
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Remember enjoy eat moment.
Ulcerative Colitis (UC)Ulcerative Colitis (UC)
I wanted to talk about Ulcerative Colitis a little because I know there are a lot of people who have. I am one of those people too. I have good days with it and bad. There are different types from mild to severe. When you have a bad day or week it takes you out . I know that the type of treatment I get is infusions and they help. I know I still have a day or two to feel back to myself again. But if you have not heard of it or know someone that deals with it, let me tell you some of the symptoms we have to deal with most of the time.
Symptoms of Colitis could be any of the following: Pain in the abdomen, joints or rectum, along with bloating, blood in your stools, diarrhea. There are more things we deal with anemia, fatigue, fever or loss of appetite, cramping , weight loss. It can drain you for a day or longer. The treatments do help but still have those bad days.
I have UC for over 18 years and I never have the same day. I know others that deal with it and are doing great. I wanted to let you know this because sometimes this is something that keeps me from making my post each week.
Thanks for listening to me and I hope it makes it easier to understand that you don’t know what someone is going through unless you ask.
