Holiday Season

The Holidays are among us and we all are busy with shopping , cleaning, wrapping and planning dinner. I know that each year around this time is one of the hardest times I have to go thru. I lost my mom just before Christmas and her birthday and it has been hard ever since. I know people tell me it will get easier and I don’t see how. The one person I could talk to about anything was my mom and now I don’t have that. I know that I have friends and other family members I can talk to but my mom was different. She loved me for me and it didn’t matter what was going on in our life. She always tries and makes Christmas the best for all of us. I still have the present that I got her that year. I know one year it will be easy for me to get thru the holidays but I am not sure when that will be.

It is never easy being down for the holidays, but I try and put on a brave face and get thru it. Sometimes the ones that are supposed to be there for you, don’t listen and make things harder to handle. I know that I will be fine and get thru the holiday season again, but just remember when you see someone don’t judge them you don’t know what they are going thru.

I want to wish everyone that has followed me and went on this year-long journey with me. I will continue next year where I know I will have challenges that will have to deal with. I know that I will get thru them with help from others and myself.

One day it would be nice to get a prayer answered once, but it will happen when you least expect it.

Change your way with your healthChange your way with your health

With the world going in we all want to be healthy. You want to find ways to change so you can be healthy.

The cost of food that is more expensive is not always good for you. You need to start reading labels. I know that you have to want to change yourself. It is always hard to find where to go, but if you do the looking and reading you can find places. I know that I have talked to others and learned where to go.

Plus now places are closing because it is just so hard on people. so you have to find another place or try and plant yourself. I know that we are trying to learn about how to plant and get fruits and vegetables that we use and feed our animals.

I have also been reading what we can cook with to make food more healthy for us. There are ingredients that are not good for us. All I know is that I want to be healthy for my family and me to enjoy life more. It’s hard when you’re sick and tired.

I will be letting you know what I find out with what we are changing. Follow me and I still bake and do sales, but I am starting to change to better ingredients.

Thanks for letting me keep doing this.

PSCPSC

There are a lot of people that don’t know what this is. It is primary sclerosing cholangitis . Which is a disease of the liver. I have dealt with it for over 10 years now. Everyone deals with it differently I know that for sure. There is no cure for it, from what I have been told over the years. I know that my specialist watches what they call a MELD score. Every doctor deals with patience differently with this as well. I know when I hit a number she is sending me to the transplant unit to get all my tests done to get on a list.

I am letting you know that with my ulcerative colitis and this some days are hard to get thru. Plus I have to be careful not to be around sick people cause I can get sick easily and it is hard for me to get better.

I have dealt with both of these for over 10 years and when another year goes by I always have questions about what I can do to be more healthy and not in pain. I am going to be changing medication again. This is my 5th one and I wish my body would stop kicking them out and not work.

These last to weeks that is what I have been dealing with. I got sick over Christmas and I been trying to get better ever since then.

So please understand I am going to continue this and share what is going on but each week is different.

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
