Myself, a little about me
Spring is in the air, but the weather doesn’t feel like it.
There is so much to do but hard to get outside work done when the weather is not the same as what it should be.
Here are a list of things we all need to start.
clean up any leaves for before winter, start planting if we are getting ready for gardens. cleaning out the garage with all the stuff we don’t need anymore. get mulch down before weeds grow.
this is a start I will be back with other tips we need to do.
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.
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.
I made the decision to take some time off of social media. I would go on it more than I wanted to, just cause I was bored. I started to find other things to do instead which helps me. I also did it with TV too. I know that I have shows I enjoy watching but I want to start learning to do other things with my time.
I do go on messenger because that is how I communicate with a few people. It has only been 2 weeks and I feel better because there is nothing on social media that I need to read or see that bad. I know that it is going to be a while before I just put aside but I do follow people that help me with other things I am learn to do this year.
I have friends and family that have come off of social media sites. I know that life is short and I never post anything about my life and what I am doing. I only post shows that we are going to be at. Plus follow and learn about things I want to try and change in my life. So I know that I can back off it.
Plus, spring is coming soon and I am really looking forward to that because we are going to be busy with planting and changing our yard into what we want to do. Plus take care of that chickens and make things better for them also.
I also started reading again along with working on puzzle. Next will be hanging out with my friends. My health is very important so I am learning what I can to help that also. So much to learn. I have enjoyed this year so far.
Until next time.
As I sit here and think about the year 2024 and everything that has happened in my life. I learned so much about family, friends and myself too. I know there is a lot to be great for, but there is this that I will have to change in the up coming year. Change is not always good for everyone that is involved but sometimes hard choices have to be made.
I have learned that I have people I can count on no matter what and there are others I have to let go because you can count on them or they are not there when you need them the most. It’s hard when you have to choice but life is not always what it seems. You make time for the one that you care about and want in your life. I know that is not always easy but if you care and want them there you make an effort to make it happen.
I have also learned I have changed what I like and don’t and want to make a difference in this world. I want to give back and make the most of each day of my life. I know this is going to be all on me, but I am willing to make the effort to know that I can do it. I want to learn more about what I am good at and what I want to work on. Change has its good side and it is bad but if you do it for yourself you know that it has to be right.
I am also going to keep going on this journey and that change I make and let you know how I am doing. I know it is never easy at the beginning but it is now or never. I know that I will have hard times but I will make the most of them and work thru them all.
I am going to take one day at a time and enjoy life a little more and have some fun in the meantime. Learn more about healthy ways I can eat and learn new things at the same time. I know that some people would call this a new year resolution but not me. Most people make them and they are short term. I am making changes and growing into someone that enjoys life more.
My health means a lot and that is one thing that I need to work on the most, because I had a rough year with that. I am ready to take the steps and change what I can and hopefully feel better and more energy.
I want to wish all the people that have followed me with this journey and will continue because 2025 is coming up quickly and I am ready.
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.
This week has been one that I had to learn how to change and start from the beginning. It has been hard for me because I am not sure where to begin. Eating is a big deal for a lot of different reasons. When you need to learn how to eat and not make yourself sick all over again. I have to eat small amounts and the right stuff.
I had some tests and procedures done and now waiting for the results is hard. It just adds more to what is on my mind and what I need to get done. I also need to take it slow and get better and my energy level back to where I can get things done. I know that I want the results to be good but I am scared.
The more time I have to wait, the longer the stress level goes up and I can’t sleep and it’s the only thing that I am thinking about. I know that things are not always going to come out perfectly but I can hope that they do.
I am taking it one day at a time to learn how to do everything again. Everyday is a challenge to get things done, I get tired of not having the energy level that I used to have. I thank my husband and daughter for doing everything for me and they both say the same thing.
I want this Christmas to be a good one for both of them. Trying to figure out ways to make sure they are doing good and have what they need. Christmas is supposed to be the happiness time of the year, but not for me it is always hard to get thru the month of December.
I have came to the end of this post and I will be trying to catch up and be better again.
When I sit and think about things that are going on in my life I wonder how do I do everything I do.
That when it comes to me, I take everything one day at a time. I don’t know how much time I have on this earth and I want to enjoy all that I can. My mom always told me to make each day like it was your last, tomorrow is never promised. I know that I try to learn something new or even make something I have never made before. Plus I think about what makes me happy and what makes me sad. I know that you think that is crazy but the fear of the unknown is scary.
I have started to write down my thoughts and what I hope my life and kids life will be like. Everyone’s life is different and you can learn from them. I know over the years I have learned a lot from my friends and family and what not to do.
I know that if you want someone in your life you have to make an effort to see them or even call them. I know that I have friends that have busy lives too and are not always free to do something. I still try but after a while you have to stop trying, There is a reason that a person does want to communicate back with you. So that is when you move on.
I am grateful for the ones I have in my life and make me happy. I will continue to live each day to the fullest. I don’t know where the road will lead but I am willing to try.
Thank you for all that read this.
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.
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.
