What to be thankful for?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.

RoughRough

This week was a rough one for me. I had the week off from baking for shows but my health problems have not been that nice to me. When you try your hardest to make sure you stay away from others that are sick it doesn’t always work. I had to do extra cleaning this week to make sure whatever my husband and daughter have or had I don’t get. It was not fun for me at all. As I did that it took a toll on me alone.

I have tried to do things to help me on my own but that has not helped. I told my doctor and I ended up in the ER which is never fun for anyone.

They could do much for me but give me pain medication and hope to talk to my doctor about what is going on.

This week begin baking for another show again and I hope that I will be able to work thru the pain and low energy and get it all done. I know that I will try my hardest. For those who know me well they know I will do whatever it takes to get the job done for this weekend.

This is a short one this week because my medication will be kicking in and I will be sleeping soon.

HobbiesHobbies

What are some of your hobbies that you do everyday, every week or every year?

Hobbies are activities done regularly in ones leisure time for pleasure. Any activity you enjoy doing in your spare time. Some activities conducted in your spare time are for recreation or pleasure.

I know that I have a few hobbies I do regularly, like baking, reading , listening to either music or a podcast. I have others that I do like cooking, crafting, gardening, watching movies or shows. There are some hobbies I like to learn as wells like learning a new language, canning, or photography.

I know that everyone has their own reason for some of their hobbies. I know that each one that I do helps me in a different way. When I think about a new hobby I look into it and make sure it is something that I could do or have the time to learn. Just remember you have your reason for the hobbies you do and you never have to explain why to anyone.

Please if you have the time let me know what fun hobbies you do and maybe we could learn something new together.

ChangeChange

Season changes, leaves change colors. What do we do to change? We change our clothes for the weather. So it is time to look back at the year and see what we have learned about ourselves and what is going on around us.

Start making plans on what to change the following months or year. I know that I have been thinking about what I want to do. Some things will be hard and slow, but I just have to make my goals small and have little victories.

There has been so much change in my life right now, I feel overwhelmed at times. I have a hard time dealing with it, so instead I stay busy and not think about it for a while. I know that it will catch up to me and I am going to have to face what is going on inside my head.

Sorry this one has taken me a while to write but I wanted to make sure others understand what I am going thru and what I have in front of me to face. I know some will have helpful tips and I am welcome of that. The others that have comments that I need to face what is coming and deal with it because it happens to everyone have no idea what it’s like in someone else’s shoes.

TimeTime

I know we all wish we had more time each day to get everything done. I know I am one of those people. I try to make a plan to use it all the time I have each day. I have a hard time trying to get everything done. I know others except me to do things all by myself but I know I can’t get it all done. When I don’t get things I feel bad. I feel like I failed others that count on me.

I look around at what I have and I feel blessed. I know that I should do more. I just know that my health is what I should work on. I know that I have been trying to, but it has become hard these past few weeks. I am learning to live different from what I can eat.

Life is hard when others don’t know what I go thru everyday. I keep a lot more to myself than let others know. I have a few great friends that listen to me and don’t judge me when I can’t handle life. I decided to take a step back to others that I have a hard time talking to. I know the ones that are there for me and that is all I need in my life.

I even step back from talking to some family members, because I have a hard time talking to them. I’m trying to figure out what one family wants me for. I know that I need to talk to this family member about what is in my mind.

This is a hard post for me today. Others would read this and wonder if they are the one I am talking about. I want to thank you for listening.

my journey will continue later this week. hope you keep reading.

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.

Rest in PeaceRest in Peace

This week was a crazy one, it started off overwhelmed to sad. It is hard for anyone to lose a parent. I know this is because when I lose my mom. There is so much you need to do during this time.

The month of September is a hard time for a lot of people because of 9/11 and a lot of people lost a loved one. My husband grandfather passed away this month, he lived a great life. we will all miss him.

I know this is going to be another short one, because I have a lot going on and figure it out. I know that I feel better after the month is over.

I have some topics that I am working on to post in the upcoming month. So please stay tuned.

just make sure you spend time with the ones that matter because one day they will be gone.

OverwhelmedOverwhelmed

These past couple of weeks have been overwhelming for me. I had a few appointments and more this month. Plus over the weekend we got more chickens which is great. I just have not been sleeping well and that is not helping me get what I need done. I know that I will be fine but I just need something more.

I wish I could figure out what I need to help, but sometimes life hits you hard. I know that I will get back in the swing of things. I know that I want to help others and get back into church. I am taking steps to get there but it was hard. I have been stressed about how to get what I need to help and still do what I need to at home.

Thank you for letting me write a little short message today. I will be back later this week.

HealthHealth

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.

Making SpaceMaking Space

This last weeks I have a lot going on and I need some encouragement. So when I need this I listen to this podcast. Hoda talks to many different people and it makes you think about your own life. It helps me look at my own life and see what I need to change or what I enjoy in life.

Sometimes I need just a day to process everything I was told. So when this happens I have to do something that helps me redirect my mind and take me back. This week I have been baking for a huge craft sale this coming weekend. It has helped me just to calm me.

I know that this life is not going to break me. I am going to find the purpose that I need to do. I am going to figure it out one day.

This is all for the day, I need to figure out something this month. I will be posting more soon.
