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.

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.

DailyDaily

This last couple of weeks I have made a to do list that I do each day. I don’t like it as much as I think that I do. I sometimes feel like a robot doing the same thing each day. I try to do other things to make life fun. After a while I don’t know what that is. I have great friends and family that are there but I know my kids are doing their own thing. So I need to find something that is mine.

I listen to podcasts a lot and they are interesting. I listen to them when I clean or bake. All the podcasts I listen to are different. Some are true crimes, another one is how to make space in your life. It’s interesting because you hear other stories and you can see my life. That is when I think that I could do things that are fun and make my life better.

I know that God is watching over me along with my mom. I hope one day I can continue to help where I can. Thank you for for listening, I am going to start sharing new recipes that I have been trying.

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.

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.

Think before speakThink before speak

This week is about things people say to others that might hurt. I know that when it happens to me it stays with me for a while. It hurts for people that are supposed to love you and be there when you need them. When it happens I go through a cycle of why what I do even matters to anyone. When someone likes me with the issues I have it hard. Life doesn’t seem to matter to me anymore. I try and try but I think why no one cares if I am here or gone.

I know that I will get past it sometime but each time it takes a little longer. Many different ideas go through my head, but I do not act on any. I know that happens to others and are afraid to say something or even talk about it. This is why I want others to know you are never alone.

One day there are things that get to you, bother you, you will miss it. The one thing that seems to get to me the most is, that when it comes from someone that is supposed to love you. I know that everyone changes as they go through life but the love you have should never be something that hurts you the most.

Thank you again for letting me do this.

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.

Who is Family?Who is Family?

Today I want to talk about family and friends. There are those you have that are family, but there are friends that you concert to be family. I know I have a few friends that I have more of my family than the ones that are family. I know the friends that I do have will be there for me faster than family members that I have. I want to help my family and the ones that I concert to be my family if I can. It is hard at times to spend time with everyone, but if I have learned anything with my health it is that I can count on a few.

There are people out there who don’t concern their pets as family but I know that I do. It is amazing what dogs know without saying anything at all. My dogs know when I need to have them close to me and the times that I need my space. That is why a lot of people have therapy animals. I know that there are times it is hard to get out of my house and not be judged. I do what I have to do to get thru my day. It is not always easy but I want to help.

If there was a way I could help without leaving my house I would do it. Everyone needs help in one way or another. I treasure my friends that are in my life. I know that I can’t see them as much as I would like to but I know they are there.

Thank you again for letting me do this, it is a great journey I am on and I can’t wait to see where else it takes me.
