Do You Suffer From Anxiety and Fear?

I know that I sure do! Photo by Alexandra Gorn on Unsplash Background Anxiety is something that has plagued me since the recollection of my cognitive existence.  Fear made itself a comfy home inside of my brain and body. I lived with the “what ifs” on a daily basis. I like to compare my mindset at the time with Charlie Brown. He was afraid of everything and so was I.I wish I could say...

No Control

    ~A poem about not having control over the uncontrollable~       No Control   I told the night to leave me, and asked the day to perish as well,  yet seasons and times never listen.   Time still moves no matter how much I plead.   So many days, I begged for tomorrow not to greet me, and begged again for winter not to arrive, even tried to will the...

Happy Wednesday!!!   Hello, hello, hello, and happy Wednesday! I hope that you are having a great week and are staying safe out there. My week seems to be gradually declining, and today hit me like a stop sign in the face as I attempted to get out of bed this morning. I finally made it, but later than planned. Luckily I could afford to stay in bed a little longer this morning, but that will...

Happy Tuesday!   Hello, hello, hello, and happy Tuesday! I hope you had a wonderful holiday, and that you were able to enjoy some quality time with family and/or friends.   I spent most of the weekend out in nature, which was really amazing! I saw places I have never seen before, filled with beautiful forests, mountains and awesome beaches. It truly brought peace to my soul to be...

Do You Remember?

Happy Tuesday! Hello, hello, hello, and cheers to another day! Even though I begin with cheerful greetings, it doesn’t mean I am always excited for another day. Though I feel grateful and thankful right now, I tend to sink into darkness quite often, and so I need to keep myself in check so I don’t dip too low. Dipping too low into depression can be very dangerous, as you probably already...

  Happy Tuesday! Hello, hello, hello, and happy Tuesday! Today is a new day to be able to focus on what really matters in life, which again, for me, is faith and family. Yesterday I went through something that I thought I would be traumatized about for a while. I no longer feel that way. Instead, I feel blessed beyond belief.  Today's Poem Today's poem is about... you guessed it-...

Why Don’t You Just Shut Up?

Happy Thursday! Hello, hello, hello and happy Thursday! I hope you are well and not going nuts over this lockdown. Personally, I cannot wait for the salons to open because my daughter wants to get a waaaay cool haircut! I asked her if I could do it, but she wants a pretty complex style that involves shaving certain areas and leaving other areas long so she does not want me to mess it up- I do...

The Joy of Having to Take Our Meds

Happy Wednesday! Hello, hello, hello, and happy Wednesday! Once again, today is garbage day and I am using it not only as a day to get rid of all of our trash but also as a day of cleansing and renewal. Beginning the day with a purpose helps the rest of the day go well for me. I listen to prayers and meditations with Bible readings to help calm me and I really benefit from it. I find that when I...
