Comfort TimeComfort Time

As I reflect on this past week I came up with a few things that I need to do. The first thing I realized is I need to take some time for myself to enjoy my life. It doesn’t matter what it is, because it is about recharging. I know that I don’t plan to go far ahead because that is not a promise to me. I am just thankful for each day I get up and get to have another day with the ones I love.

I try to make it and enjoy life, save money and hang out with the ones that support me. I know without them life would be hard each day. I am glad to everyone that has followed me on this journey because this year has been a tough one. I have had ups and downs to get thru, which I have those who have come into my life to help me.

Sometimes I go back to what is comfortable to me, which is not what we need to do. We all need to get up and try something new. Just think about things you have always wanted to do but have been too scared to do. Sometimes people make a bucket list to see what they can do. All you need to do is thank God for that day and make some plans.
Text a friend you have not talked to in a while. Find a place that you have not gone but always wanted to. Have a date night with some girlfriends or husband, boyfriend or your better half. Everyone has something or somewhere they have always wanted to do. It is never too late.

Thank you again for this.

To Do ListTo Do List

This past month I have been trying to get back on track with things. So I started to make lists. I have a cleaning list, meal planning , to do list. This has made it easy for me to remember what I need to do. Sometimes I get side tracked and I am not sure what I should work on next. I even made a budget so I can figure out ways to save money. Everyone would love to be debt free and save money too. It is not always that easy. It has been a work in progress for me. I find ways to sell things I don’t need anymore or if that doesn’t work I donate it to a good cause. The feeling that you get when you help out other ways is the best feeling you could have.

I am still in the working stages of this plan. I just know one day it will all be worth it to me. This year I even tried to start growing my own vegetables but something has always gotten in the way. I know that I still have time. I just take it one day at a time.

Just remember that you can do anything that you want, it just takes time. Thank you again for letting me do this.

World largest Rubber duckWorld largest Rubber duck

This past week I have been baking a lot getting ready for a sale that was nothing I could have thought it would be. The Duck was over 6 stories tall and wow see it up close was cool. A lot of people went there and saw it and had a great time with everything else going on.

Our sale was very successful that is for sure. I never had to make so much for one show ever. I can’t wait until next year when they do it again. I will be more prepared that is for sure.

It has been a long couple of weeks for us here. It is finally slowing down this month. I know it never lasts that long but I am fine with the time to get other things done. Plus it gives me time to find some other part time work that I can do from home. I know that there are companies out there looking for a little help and that who I want to be.

For the time I do have I am making and sell a dog treat to help with all my dogs medication, I know he won’t be around long time but it I can make something that everyone can remember him from, I made a good choice to do this. Life is not always fair and for him it is cruel that is for sure. But we show him all the love he needs.

Thank you for letting me do this and continue reading.

BusyBusy

These past 2 weeks I have been going through a lot. I have told you about my dog and me. Well on top of that I have not been feeling good until I got my infusion last week. Plus we had a craft show to get ready for. It’s been hard to get things done for me. So I had to take a step back and take care of myself. So I have been relaxing and taking it easy.

I got everything done for the show and I got my infusion and it takes a few days for me to get back to feeling great and getting things done. I have been reading and asking for advice on how to get my blog out there.

when you try to do things to help others you want to make sure you let others know. I know that I read a lot of different ideas and hope it works for me. Why not try something new and see if it works. Life is too short to live the same day twice. I know when life gives you lemons make lemonade. I know that I watch shows, listen to podcasts and learn more about life each day. Making changes in your own life is always good, because you never know what the next day will be like.

Thanks for this

The choose you make?The choose you make?

This week it is all about choosing what we make in our everyday life. I know that this week we have had to make a few that were kind of hard. When you think about the right one for everyone that may affect. It is not always easy, that is why you need to figure out what is beside you and what it will do to the people around you. When it is done and you walk away, you need to make sure it is something you can live with.

I know that I have made a few this week for myself. I have to change a few things I do, but it’s OK.

This week is short because of the changes that I am making, but as I change things in the right direction I will share each step.

Thank you for letting me do this, and taking this journey with me.

EventsEvents

This week there were a few events that made the week busy. The first event was Valentine’s Day which was a day for couples. I know that I don’t go out but this year it snowed. It was the biggest snowfall we have had this year so far. The second event was my daughter’s birthday at the same time was a vendor show. It was a lot to get done, because we had other orders to get done the same weekend. I am glad that the week is over because now I have to get things done at home.

I want to send my prayers out to Burnsville falling heroes. They put their lives on the line each day they put their uniform on. It is a hard time for families. Please take a moment and remember them.

Thank you for letting me do this and hope you are enjoying my journey.

LoveLove

A new month and it is all about love or it is supposed to be. I know that my life has not always been easy. I have been married for 30 years which is unheard of. February is a wonderful month because my little baby girl was born, she is not so little anymore. I am so proud of her and what she has done in her life so far.

This month is going to be a busy one for her and her business. I hope people go check it out. she does wonderful work.

I am not sure what is going on with me but my depression has been on overdrive. Not sure what will help make things better with it. I don’t like going to the doctor and taking something for it. I think that it is better when you can find ways to overcome it.

This is my fifth week and I have enjoyed sharing things out there and hoping one day I can help someone else. I donate stuff and help where I can and that makes me happy. I wish there was a way I could make more money and help more.

Working toward something is what my goal is. Still trying to find my purpose in life yet, but I know that it will come with time.

Thanks to all

Journey BeginsJourney Begins

This year I decided to take a journey and stick to a plan. The first week and I made it. I wrote a list of cleaning and errands I need to do. I followed it and did all that I had listed on each day. It was hard some days.

When I was baking or cleaning I had a podcast on. Which one day I will talk about the different ones I listen to. I also started a budget on groceries and misc stuff we need around the house. Also I have to think about budgeting the food I get for my dogs and chickens too. My daughter helps with the chickens and dogs because two dogs are her and two of my dogs.

This journey I made is starting off good and I hope it keeps going. I know that I have a goal I want to reach by the end of 2024. I am taking small steps to get to each one but that is all someone could hope for. I also want to have a little fun too. I have already made plans for a summer field trip and a fall field trip with friends.

If anyone is following me and has questions about my journey and why I decided this was the year to do it, please ask. I will be explaining as the weeks go by. I have a lot going on in my life and I want others to feel that they can do something if they just try.

Until next week, Please help me get the word out there.

Thank you

ChoicesChoices

We all have choices in life, some are hard to make. I know that some are stressful and you have to try and make the right choice. You want to make the right one for everyone, but you have to remember you can’t make everyone happy. The one thing you have to think of is what makes you happy. Life is hard enough. I know that holidays are the hardest time for me. I think of my choices during this time of year. What makes me happy.

My daughter and I make the choice to give back. I think that is what makes me happy this time of year. We find families that just need a little more help. When you give back it is a choice you make. Not everyone does it, but when you see the family so happy it’s all worth it. We also have a friend that makes things that mean more than what you can buy in a store.

I just want to say that I am sorry I have not posted in a while, but I have some medical issues I needed to take care of. I will explain that in another post. I can only do this if I take care of myself.

Thank you for taken the time to read this and I will continue to post.
