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

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.

LearningLearning

This week has been one that I had to learn how to change and start from the beginning. It has been hard for me because I am not sure where to begin. Eating is a big deal for a lot of different reasons. When you need to learn how to eat and not make yourself sick all over again. I have to eat small amounts and the right stuff.

I had some tests and procedures done and now waiting for the results is hard. It just adds more to what is on my mind and what I need to get done. I also need to take it slow and get better and my energy level back to where I can get things done. I know that I want the results to be good but I am scared.

The more time I have to wait, the longer the stress level goes up and I can’t sleep and it’s the only thing that I am thinking about. I know that things are not always going to come out perfectly but I can hope that they do.

I am taking it one day at a time to learn how to do everything again. Everyday is a challenge to get things done, I get tired of not having the energy level that I used to have. I thank my husband and daughter for doing everything for me and they both say the same thing.

I want this Christmas to be a good one for both of them. Trying to figure out ways to make sure they are doing good and have what they need. Christmas is supposed to be the happiness time of the year, but not for me it is always hard to get thru the month of December.

I have came to the end of this post and I will be trying to catch up and be better again.
