MEME

I would like to tell you a little about me and why I am doing this blog. I started this blog a few years ago but things just kept me from doing it full time. Now that I got things better I wanted to let others know things I do to help myself. So I started making little goals for myself to help me stay calm. I have Ulcerative Colitis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. I have to deal with both for over 15 years. It has made it hard for me to work outside the house and be around people. So I deal with Anxiety and depression a lot. Each day is different for me. I have those great days that I can do a lot and I am happy. Those bad days are not as fun. I am quiet, uninterested in doing anything that normally makes me happy.

This past week I had a few days like that. I had to try and figure out how to bring myself out of it. I am doing better today but I’m still having a medium day. I have a good support system in place that helps me and just listens to me.

I have an email you can ask me questions or just wish me luck on this journey.

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.

Journey BeginsJourney Begins

This year I decided to take a journey and stick to a plan. The first week and I made it. I wrote a list of cleaning and errands I need to do. I followed it and did all that I had listed on each day. It was hard some days.

When I was baking or cleaning I had a podcast on. Which one day I will talk about the different ones I listen to. I also started a budget on groceries and misc stuff we need around the house. Also I have to think about budgeting the food I get for my dogs and chickens too. My daughter helps with the chickens and dogs because two dogs are her and two of my dogs.

This journey I made is starting off good and I hope it keeps going. I know that I have a goal I want to reach by the end of 2024. I am taking small steps to get to each one but that is all someone could hope for. I also want to have a little fun too. I have already made plans for a summer field trip and a fall field trip with friends.

If anyone is following me and has questions about my journey and why I decided this was the year to do it, please ask. I will be explaining as the weeks go by. I have a lot going on in my life and I want others to feel that they can do something if they just try.

Until next week, Please help me get the word out there.

Thank you

HolidaysHolidays

With the holidays coming up it is hard for some of us. We all have struggles, sometimes we need help. I know that I have a hard time because my mom passed away around Christmas and it has never been the same to me. I do things that I enjoy and it helps me remember my mom, but that’s not always enough.

Right now we have major issues that we are trying to deal with. Around the holidays money is tight. I do everything I can to give back to others even when money is tight. My daughter has a baking business and we sell as much as we can to make other families have Christmas.

Plus when others are dealing with missing family members around the holiday season. I know that I am one of those people. I lost my mom the day before her birthday and a few days before Christmas. It has never been the same for me. I know I have a friend that deals with the same things I do. I just want to skip the holidays all together.

Please everyone that reads this remember there are people going thru hard times and you might not even know it. Keep them in your thoughts. Plus last thing is to remember those animals that don’t have homes this holiday season too.

Happy holidays to all

ChoicesChoices

We all have choices in life, some are hard to make. I know that some are stressful and you have to try and make the right choice. You want to make the right one for everyone, but you have to remember you can’t make everyone happy. The one thing you have to think of is what makes you happy. Life is hard enough. I know that holidays are the hardest time for me. I think of my choices during this time of year. What makes me happy.

My daughter and I make the choice to give back. I think that is what makes me happy this time of year. We find families that just need a little more help. When you give back it is a choice you make. Not everyone does it, but when you see the family so happy it’s all worth it. We also have a friend that makes things that mean more than what you can buy in a store.

I just want to say that I am sorry I have not posted in a while, but I have some medical issues I needed to take care of. I will explain that in another post. I can only do this if I take care of myself.

Thank you for taken the time to read this and I will continue to post.

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.

FriendshipFriendship

This week topic is about friendship. Everyone has a different definition of friendship.

I know that for me it is someone that is always there for you no matter what. You can tell them anything that is wrong and they won’t judge you. I know when everyone has a hard time they need someone to talk to or go to help. Sometimes friends are right in your own home and other times they are not.

I know that I have a couple of friends that I could not go thru life without. I am there for them as much as they are there for me and that is what I think a good friend is.

I know this one is short this week and it was because I have been sick and trying to battle with getting better. It is hard when you are down, but this is where those friends that are there for you to check to make sure you are doing better each day.

Take a minute and see who your true friends are. You need more positive people in your life.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, please comments

LifeLife

Hello there, Just wanted to talk a little about Life. We all have busy, hard, and short. I know that first hand for sure and I am trying to stay positive about things but it hard. Over the last week I found out things that I have now I didn’t before and they are life threatening. It change my whole world. There were things that just didn’t means as much or just a simple thing like eating change completely. I am trying to process it all everyday but some days are harder to get thru then others. I have people around me helping but sometimes they don’t even understand what I go thru each day. I know I keep a lot to myself because it easier then others saying sorry and act different around me. My whole life had changed in one day.

Never miss the little things in life now. I know that I want to enjoy each moment and just take a picture in my head so I never forget it. Never Judge someone because you never know what that person life is like.
