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

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.

I not sure if anyone has started this, but I know I have, it amazing what you find when you are going thru things. I know that I have wanted to do something a long time but I never had the time. Now that I am not working outside that house and I am home more. I started really cleaning and organizing things. I am doing good so far. I cleaned half of my basement and the garage and already took a trip to goodwill. I know that where I give a lot of the clothes that I am getting rid of. I also going to set up for a garage sale that I have not got to do in a long time because I worked so much. It feels great to get things done. I know a lot of people say that the bigger the house the more stuff you have, I don’t believe that. I think that if you go thru things and just keep what you need or stuff that means a lot to you and you want to past down to your kids, that all you need. I know that it been easier for me to find things that I need when I am organized. Plus you have time to enjoy the beautiful weather we have.

Remember I am still doing craft shows for everyone puppies and dogs. I still raising money for my boy that means more to me then anyone could know.

So please follow us on Facebook and visit us at the show. Next one is Monticello this Sunday from 11-3

Please be kind to all

I wanted to write this post this week for my boy Dubnyk. He is our 6 year foster failure. We love him so much and would do anything to help him. I would do it for any one of my dogs but he has had a hard life to start and has come a long way. A few months ago we went to the vet because he had a bump on the side of his face. We found out he had a cracked tooth and needed to get it removed. While he was in surgery the vet noticed it was not normal. We found out he has bone loss and a mass on the side of his face.

Today we went to the U of M and had them see what the next steps we need to take. They did a biopsy and we get the results tomorrow. We know if our hearts that it is not going to be good news. So we decided that we are going to give him the best life he can have and do what he wants. Plus we want to make sure he sees as much of this world as he can. We don’t know the time frame but we are not going to worry about that and do what we can for him.

He is the sweetest boy you would meet. So please send him positive vibes his way.
