Life is Pain

“Face your life , it’s pain , it’s pleasure , Leave no path untaken. ” Neil Gagman

Life is a mixture of good and bad and happy and sad. It just is and needs to be

experienced all of it, I don’t understand people that have to drink or smoke the

pain away, just live it feel it wallow in it and then climb out, Let it mold and define you and make you new and stronger.

As much as I hated not seeing well and not being able to work or drive, well I learned so much about myself during that time, Now I feel like a got a second

shot or chance to get it right , To see life new nd exciting again.

Hope your all out there living the dream . Take the good with the bad after all

its the course you were given the ride that your on,

Ask away

If you don’t ask the answer is always no

I hate no for an answer .

i always ask , questions always looking for solutions

Asking doesn’t make you less intelligent in fact it makes you more,

So ask why .Ask away . Always know where to find answers be it

mentors, smart friends , or google, I once worked at a help desk.

I often said I don’t know, but let me get back to you, Now when

my hubby asks a question I love it and am off on an adventure to

find answers.

My daughter asked if a wedding gown was for sale on a mannequin at a

bridal store, and scored the dress of her dreams, and half off,,

My husband once ventured on a public path to go fishing , He ended up

on property of a millionaire with a great trout pond, He asked and was invited

to fish whenever he wanted too as long as he kept it clean , A decades long friendship was born.

Ask because dreams do come true, Keep looking for Hugs, Happiness and

I want more

We accept the love that we think we deserve Stephen Chbosky

Ever notice how we treat ourselves so much worse than we do

to others, Why have that negative voice running rampant in our

heads. We need to replace it ,

It should sound like this :

I am smart

I am funny

I am strong

My eyes sparkle when I’m happy,

I am important , I deserve happiness.

Being alone is okay . I learn about me,

I am a work of art

I like the sound of that ,

Work it

Nothing worth having comes easy .

I have uveitis because of this I got a lovely steroid shot in my eye.

Tuesday I get to have a huge amount of steroid for four days , plus

drops every hour. I still get to take my methotrexate which makes me

tired and burp all day.

Wednesday I get my cataracts out all the torture is so my eyes don’t

get inflamed and I can see better, I would feel better if all of the above

work for me . I am one of the rare cases that no matter what they throw

at it even anti immunity drugs,, all have no effect on my eyes, I am not

giving up I am continuing to eat heathy get my sleep and say my prayers

that something will work this time,

Remember friends life is never easy , you have to go through bad times

to get to the good, Keep smiling, be safe and well .Keep looking for Hugs,

Let your heart lead

Wherever you go , go with all of your heart. Confucius.

I really put my heart in my walk today . I hummed and sang to myself

my favorite songs playing in my head. I listened to the birds and their songs

I marveled at their flight, their pretty colors. I was enchanted by the clouds

and the ultra blue sky with the twinkling sun up above and the cool breeze.

I put my heart into my wash as I hung it on the line, Looking up at the trees

as they swayed and how the sun dimpled the garden in light.

I put my heart in my dinner tonight, I took the food from the food share and

turned it into a master piece Onion chicken , with roasted cauliflower , broccoli and carrots , corn on the cob all made with a little extra love and a song in my

heart. I even made dessert a blackberry crisp , Humming to myself and thinking

happy thoughts of how lucky I am , Taking care of out health I added less sugar

and butter, i hope you took your heart with you today ,. Keep looking for Hugs, Happiness and Healthy Living

Really

Other people’s opinions are not your reality

Today started with a lovely throat swab , standard covid testing before

a cataract procedure Wednesday . No one told me to isolate but I hardly

go anywhere and am vaccinated also, We got some nice food from the

foodbank , every little bit helps, Chicken , eggplant mixed cauliflower and

broccoli and carrots , Some bread , corn on the cob, onions , I took a late

morning walk but i was dragging, I did walk for 40 minutes but today my

heart really wasn’t in it. No real reason, I guess to much alone time.

My pacemaker appointment went well. Two months late but well, Lucky as

i don’t have plans because my 320 was switched to 1 , Well anyway Happy Aloha friday , Hope your day was happy , Keep looking for Hugs, Happiness

Make Memories

Die with many memories , not dreams

I dreamt of retiring from my job after 50 years , I made it to

37 with some great memories.

I dreamt of owning my car and driving until I was in my 70s,

but cataracts plus bad eye sight caused me to stop at 60,

That car drove so smooth and to some really great places,

I dreamt of retiring and taking care of my grandson a couple

of times a week . I have some great memories of tummy time,

reading stories and singing songs and dancing for now,

I dreamt of writing a novel , but I have many memories of writing

blogs.

Dreams change, life throws curveballs , keep making those memories .

Memories will get you through/ Keep looking for Hugs, Happiness and

Healthy Living,

Speak for you

Be a voice not an echo

Success is the best revenge for anything

Ed Sheeran

Spent the day with Anthony today . No exercise for me just a

little yoga . Could eat some veggies or fruits but I did eat

yogurt. 2g brand has less sugar and still tastes good.

Drank my water,

Really enjoyed Anthony today. He and I even had some playtime.

He loves tummy time, I love watching him get stronger, It was

fun watching him move those arms and legs and smile . not from

gas either.

Hope you had a really fun time today My eye was a little sore from a

shot in it yesterday but so looking forward to seeing better , Keep

those successes coming and keep looking for Hugs, Haooiness and

Old Ways

Old ways won’t open new doors,

Not looking forward to getting a shot in my eye at all, I always get

extensive tearing and pain, Plus i have to watch the grandson this

week. Maybe there will be improvements we shall see,

Quiet day here a short walk . Some reading very glad I can still see

to read, Prayers for people in the path of the hurricane in Louisiana

and Mississippi .Don’t be afraid to change things up, to try new ways.

Having lots of fun watching my grandson . Have a great week , Keep

looking for Hugs, Happiness and Healthy Living .
