White Christmas
Well I not sure about others wonder if we are going to have a white Christmas or not. I know it been nice the last week and the snow I have in my yard is melting. My dogs love the snow and I don’t have a lot of it left in the yard for them to play in. I watch the weather and it don’t show that it going to snow anytime before Christmas get here. They say you need about 1 inch of snow to concern it to be a white Christmas, well I know we don’t have that at all.
The month of December has I have a lot of different occasions in it. It starts with my wedding Anniversary, I have my Mom passing away the day before her birthday and the week before Christmas, then we go on to my son birthday and new years. It a lot of happy and sad times which are hard to get thru. Some how I do it on my faith.
Well if you ever need a friend or just some one to talk to, I get it and I am here. Be Kind and Happy Holidays to all

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.
LimitsLimits
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.
Detox Social MediaDetox Social Media
I made the decision to take some time off of social media. I would go on it more than I wanted to, just cause I was bored. I started to find other things to do instead which helps me. I also did it with TV too. I know that I have shows I enjoy watching but I want to start learning to do other things with my time.
I do go on messenger because that is how I communicate with a few people. It has only been 2 weeks and I feel better because there is nothing on social media that I need to read or see that bad. I know that it is going to be a while before I just put aside but I do follow people that help me with other things I am learn to do this year.
I have friends and family that have come off of social media sites. I know that life is short and I never post anything about my life and what I am doing. I only post shows that we are going to be at. Plus follow and learn about things I want to try and change in my life. So I know that I can back off it.
Plus, spring is coming soon and I am really looking forward to that because we are going to be busy with planting and changing our yard into what we want to do. Plus take care of that chickens and make things better for them also.
I also started reading again along with working on puzzle. Next will be hanging out with my friends. My health is very important so I am learning what I can to help that also. So much to learn. I have enjoyed this year so far.
Until next time.
