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.

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.

How to say GoodbyeHow to say Goodbye

I am sorry for the last few weeks I have been under the weather. I am finally getting better but we have been busy getting things in order to get ready to say goodbye to one of our dogs. It is never easy to come to this decision for anyone. We have been trying to give him everything we can to make his life as good as it can be.

I know that over the past few weeks being sick and taking care of everything around here has been difficult for me but I am working thru each day. Plus now I have to worry about myself these days because I have health issues I need to take care of. I know that I don’t talk to others about what is going on but I know that I have to start looking out for myself instead of worrying about others.

I have been doing research into super foods and what helps you. I know that I have been trying to eat these super foods and it has helped me. I know that I will be sharing what I have found and hope it will help others too.

Thank you for the last few weeks and I will continue this journey.

Today I was talking with a friend, we were talking about our kids and when they are young we run all over for them, But when they get older we don’t have to do that as much. Which I don’t think that it true, because they older they get the more they need us to lean on and help them out. So when do we get to stop helping them and just get to live our lives.

I know thatI love my kids and hope they always need me in their life but maybe a little less at time.

Just got to remember is that cherish each moment with them you never know when they wont need you anymore, plus live is short and each moment counts.
