SavingSaving

This year has gone by and so much has changed in my life. I know that I am working on be debt free and saving money. I know they have a few ways you can save and budget. I am doing a lot of different things and I would like to share them with you.

First one is I have a auto amount directly into my savings account.

I also do surveys and play games that get me gift cards that I can use instead of money.

Plus I have been working on decluttering my house and selling things. I know one day I will get there just by taking time.

I also am starting to use those saving books where you put cash in a book and mark it off.

It has been a rough few weeks losing my sweet boy, which makes me want to do more in life. His life was cut short and I am going to do what I can for him. Everyone says you need time, but no amount of time will bring him back. I know that he is watching over us and I want to make him know that he is missed and very loved.

So hopeful by the end of the year I will be closer to my savings goal.

Goodbye and DepressionGoodbye and Depression

This last week we had to say goodbye to our sweet boy Dubnyk and it was the hardest one yet. it has put me into depression and I am not sure how to get out. I know that others tell me that we just need time to adjust but it is not the same here any more. I miss him so much and I know my daughter does too.

I know that I can sleep or eat much and my other dogs feel it too. I know time is going to change but right now we are trying to work through it. I know he would have wanted us to be happy and know that he is in not more pain and running free.

I know that all I have for now it is just been adjustment and we are trying. One day we will see him again and it will be like we never missed a bear.

Thank you and just remember to love your pet because we never get enough time time with them.

How to say GoodbyeHow to say Goodbye

I am sorry for the last few weeks I have been under the weather. I am finally getting better but we have been busy getting things in order to get ready to say goodbye to one of our dogs. It is never easy to come to this decision for anyone. We have been trying to give him everything we can to make his life as good as it can be.

I know that over the past few weeks being sick and taking care of everything around here has been difficult for me but I am working thru each day. Plus now I have to worry about myself these days because I have health issues I need to take care of. I know that I don’t talk to others about what is going on but I know that I have to start looking out for myself instead of worrying about others.

I have been doing research into super foods and what helps you. I know that I have been trying to eat these super foods and it has helped me. I know that I will be sharing what I have found and hope it will help others too.

Thank you for the last few weeks and I will continue this journey.

Holiday SeasonHoliday Season

The Holidays are among us and we all are busy with shopping , cleaning, wrapping and planning dinner. I know that each year around this time is one of the hardest times I have to go thru. I lost my mom just before Christmas and her birthday and it has been hard ever since. I know people tell me it will get easier and I don’t see how. The one person I could talk to about anything was my mom and now I don’t have that. I know that I have friends and other family members I can talk to but my mom was different. She loved me for me and it didn’t matter what was going on in our life. She always tries and makes Christmas the best for all of us. I still have the present that I got her that year. I know one year it will be easy for me to get thru the holidays but I am not sure when that will be.

It is never easy being down for the holidays, but I try and put on a brave face and get thru it. Sometimes the ones that are supposed to be there for you, don’t listen and make things harder to handle. I know that I will be fine and get thru the holiday season again, but just remember when you see someone don’t judge them you don’t know what they are going thru.

I want to wish everyone that has followed me and went on this year-long journey with me. I will continue next year where I know I will have challenges that will have to deal with. I know that I will get thru them with help from others and myself.

One day it would be nice to get a prayer answered once, but it will happen when you least expect it.

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.

comes in 3’scomes in 3’s

you know that saying things goes wrong in 3’s. I would believe it so much but it has happened to me a time or two. This past few weeks things have not gone the right way at all. We first found out that one dog is not doing well, second I ended up in the ER and that last my little girl dog blew her knee and it not going to be easy for her. I wish I could get her the surgery she needs but that is not what we can afford. The vet said it is not something that needs to happen right now. We will have to watch her and see what happens. In the mean time she is going to retire for physical activities for now. which is sad because she loved doing things and still does.

I know that sometimes things that happen like this make you think about life in general. I know that I want to change some things I do and help more. I have been trying to go thru lots of stuff I don’t need any more and find out places that could use it more than me.

Right now I have been on the track of getting better and making sure I know what I can do to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Plus help my dogs as much as I can. In the meantime I want to thank everyone that follows me and reads this It has helped me in many ways too.

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

WaitingWaiting

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.

Pets are your family?Pets are your family?

This week I want to talk about your pets that you have. When you have dogs you know that their life is short. You do what you can to make sure they are taken care of. You make sure you feed them well, give them exercise and the most important is love. Then one day you get the worse news of your life about them. It take time to process it all that is for sure. I know I have been through it a few times myself but what you see someone go through for the first time it hit you like a ton of bricks.

You want to let them know you will get through it. What else would you do, there are so many questions you have. You want to spend as much time as you can with your dog. All I know is it’s hard not knowing when the end is coming. So right now you try and stay busy and give him all the love you can. We are going to try and get some answers, but the answers are never what you want to hear. All I know is that the day will come where you will miss everything he did. The truth is that no matter the outcome of the questions, that day will be there. We will all miss him but you have to keep all the good memories close to the heart.

That’s all for today, it been a hard week for us.
