Ulcerative Colitis (UC)Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

I wanted to talk about Ulcerative Colitis a little because I know there are a lot of people who have. I am one of those people too. I have good days with it and bad. There are different types from mild to severe. When you have a bad day or week it takes you out . I know that the type of treatment I get is infusions and they help. I know I still have a day or two to feel back to myself again. But if you have not heard of it or know someone that deals with it, let me tell you some of the symptoms we have to deal with most of the time.

Symptoms of Colitis could be any of the following: Pain in the abdomen, joints or rectum, along with bloating, blood in your stools, diarrhea. There are more things we deal with anemia, fatigue, fever or loss of appetite, cramping , weight loss. It can drain you for a day or longer. The treatments do help but still have those bad days.

I have UC for over 18 years and I never have the same day. I know others that deal with it and are doing great. I wanted to let you know this because sometimes this is something that keeps me from making my post each week.

Thanks for listening to me and I hope it makes it easier to understand that you don’t know what someone is going through unless you ask.

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.

Getting through the day?Getting through the day?

I am sorry it has been a couple of weeks. I have a few things going on in my life that I need to take care of. This last week I did meet a couple of nice people during a craft sale I was doing. It is amazing to me the people I meet. You really never know what someone is going through until you talk to them and start to understand other lives. I know that I live with some health issues no one knows unless I talk to them. I can always talk about my chickens and dogs. They are my life and I am not sure I would get through some days without them.

I know when I am baking for these shows I listen to podcasts which are great. I mostly listen to true crime but there are ones that they interview others that have stories to tell. It helps me focus on something else that I am doing. I always make a plan of what I am going to make and each day what my goal is.

I do have those bad days that I just want to just not want to talk to anyone. It is easy to feel like that on some of the days. I do have people that care and check in with me to make sure I am doing fine. Please remember this you don’t know what someone else going through at any give time unless you talk to them or walked in their shoes.

Thank you again

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.

How do you KnowHow do you Know

I want to talk about life and if you are making the right choices. Everyone has a purpose in life and we all need to figure out what it is. You see others make choices about their life and ask questions if they are happy or not. You could read a book or listen to a podcast and ask yourself what my purpose in life is. I think about this a lot. That is when the question comes to mind how do you know you made the right choice.

One day we all will figure it out. You just have to believe in yourself and know that you can reach it. Some of us just do what we need to each day to get by. I know that one day I will be able to answer this question just like others that have figured out what their purpose in life is.

We all have dreams that we like to do, but we never know how to reach them. I know that I have made small goals that will one day lead to the big one at the end. I don’t know how much time is going to take me, but I know that I will reach it one day. Don’t be afraid to try different things that you always want to. You will find your purpose in life.

I want to give back to others, which helps as many people as I can. I know that my life has changed over the years, but I want to do what I can. Life is sometimes hard, but I know that I will work hard and do what I can. My friends keep me going with the kindness and caring hearts they have.

Thank you again for another week.

Superbowl SundaySuperbowl Sunday

Today was the big game where people get together and watch it. I know that I watched it, so I could watch the commercials. This year I was really looking forward to the half-time show. Over all I was not too happy with any of it.

I am also getting ready for a craft show that is next weekend, Plus I also have two other orders . Staying busy is great, but I still have to remember to pace myself so I can keep going. My energy level is not as good as I would like it to be. I have not figured out everything that we are bringing but I have to make enough for two days.

This last week has been a pretty good week overall. I have had to change some things when it comes to cleaning and stuff around the house. I know that there are a lot of germs out there right now and I can’t be around that so I have to send my daughter to the store a lot.

Well it is going to be a short one this week . I might have another short one mid week.

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

When nothing goes as plannedWhen nothing goes as planned

This week didn’t go as planned. The reason why I say this is because I was not feeling the best. I had a craft show to get ready for, which takes a lot of time. I was trying to feel better so I could get my infusion at the end of the week too. Which takes a lot out of me. There were a lot of things that got put on the back burner. The show was great and I almost sold everything I brought with me.

Now it’s the end of the week and I am still trying to still get my energy level back up. Plus I need to catch up on the cleaning list I do each week. This is the time I need to take a step back and make sure I take care of myself first. It is not always easy for me because I have a lot of things I want to do and get done.

This weekend we also talk about some changes that we want to do to the house. Good changes for all of us. I am hoping this week I can get back on track. I just need one more day to rest and feel better.

Just remember that your health is always what needs to come first. If you are not good, you are no help to anyone.

Hard WeekHard Week

This last week went well, I stayed with my plan and got what I needed done. Mid week I could feel the change in me. I started to pull back on fun activities that made my life better.

I still continued what I needed to do and figured out a way to snap out of it.

I listened to a podcast and it helped. It is easier when you put your mind somewhere else for a little while.

I want to add on to what I have started this year, Along with my weekly cleaning list. I started going thru my stuff and found places that I could donate what I have. I started with Be an Angel -MN. She helps seniors which fits in with wanting to give back. I have a box of art & crafts, journals,etc. It is great when you have stuff you don’t use, but you know someone out there can.

One thing I am doing is getting back into having a little fun in life. I plan time to go out, watch a new show, and enjoy life a little more each day. My life is short enough. I want to live my life.

here for a new week. Thank you to all.

Season ChangeSeason Change

As you look outside and see the leaves changing color and fall out of trees. You start to think about the last year and how it is coming to end quickly.I know for me things have changed in my life. I am trying to hold things together but it’s hard.

I know that I missed last week, but I was unavailable. My health sometimes takes a front seat and I need to keep it in check. I am back and working on getting better. Each day is a new adventure that I have to overcome. I have a lot of people that count on me and I want to be there for those special moments in life.

I have a couple of craft shows coming up this month for Sweets 4 you. I am going to do my best to make what I can and do the shows. If you are thinking that you might need goodies for this up coming holidays look at her Facebook page.

I want to thank everyone that reads this, it help me know people care.
