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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
