I Quit My Job

  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-...

My Own Best Friend~~Poetry~

 Photo by Gaelle Marcel on Unsplash-poetry Hello, My Poetry and Writing Friends!  🖤 Thank you for visiting my poetry blog. I appreciate you being here! . Today's poem is another old one, and has to do with my struggle to stay on my medications. Either I hated the side effects, didn't like the thought of other toxins entering my body, or didn't feel any benefits from them. .I am currently...

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...

Mania

    Woohoo for Cinco de Mayo Hello, hello, hello and happy Cinco de Mayo! My family and I celebrated early yesterday because my kids are going to be with their Dad tonight.

My Treasures

I have treasured so-called weird things my entire existence. Also, my whole life,...

The Music

      Hello, hello, hello again! It is a good day today because Friday is here, and it is one day closer to having this lockdown abolished. Personally, it was not bothering me at first, but now I am starting to get a little bit antsy. Just yesterday I went down to the lake and there were signs posted that the beach was closed. I thought that it was quite ridiculous that walking...

Gratitude Reborn

Another Day to be Grateful For! :)  Hello, hello, hello again, and happy Thursday to you! Today I am grateful for life and all of the little things we enjoy. Things like hearing the birds singing this morning even before the sun came up. Also, I am grateful for the hot water I had as I ran my bath- so many people in the world do not have this luxury.  I have been guilty many times of...

I Tried

    Hello, hello, hello! Happy Wednesday to you! :) Today is a good day- I can just feel it! Well, today is garbage day here and that is always a good day when the garbage is already overflowing and I get a little excited to be able to have an empty garbage can to refill with brand new garbage. You know, it's the little things in life that make life grand. The fact that today is garbage...
