Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

March 2017

  • Outside therapy

    I worked on the deck all afternoon…repotting some indoor plants….moving some of the big ones outside…organizing and cleaning.  Doing things I can control to occupy my mind and keep me from thinking about things I cannot control.  I sat in the sun and read but as soon as I was distracted with thoughts, I would Read more

  • We sent Saint Dana on today….

    It’s been a very trying week.  Baxter has been sick and at the vet all week.  We think he is going to pull through from whatever ails him…..either a virus or bacterial infection or both. My son in law’s grandmother died and was buried on Thursday.  While it was very sad, there was also peace Read more

  • Another life lesson

    Somewhere in the back of my mind, I’ve always thought that if I work hard, strive to remove the negative, have a positive mindset and do good things that eventually life will be perfect.  Life is not going to fit my model of perfect.  It is impossible.  Life is life and life happens!  It’s the Read more

  • I realize it is very difficult to find an opinion on FB ðŸ™„

    First….I’m feeling better today.  Antibiotics have kicked in. Second….I’m finding out that many people suffer from diverticulitis.  In fact, the dear like-souls seemed to come out of the woodwork to empathize!  I’m sorry y’all have experienced it but thankful because I learn lots of helpful hints. The question I have rolling around in my mind. Read more

  • My healing day

    The only bad news today is the fact that I woke up this morning and realized, yes, I wasn’t wrong yesterday…diverticulitis is back. Three weeks ago, I was having some minor cramping…Dr said she thought I could probably heal it by doing a liquid diet but gave me a couple of antibiotic prescriptions just in Read more

  • Projecting…the sequel

    My blogger friend, CIndy  came into my life…somehow. I’m not even sure how we found each other….but she is trying to tame her demons and get her life back…she uses her blog the way I do…to get it out…her bogs are sometimes dark, sometimes painful…but, I see progress in the last year from despondent to very strong!

  • I had an awesome birthday

    The first is a picture of a lap quilt my youngest daughter is making for me.  She has no idea what this means to me.  The second picture is a Happy Birthday card made by Jaxon which I will always cherish!  Also the Happy Birthday greetings on Facebook…I felt the love!! I spent a few Read more

  • Projection 

    I can’t believe at 61 years of age, I’m just figuring some things out.  I guess not all at once, I’ve turned a lot of corners along the way and with each new path I think ahhhhh…I think I have this journey figured out. It came to me tonight that I project my feelings or Read more

  • The next part of the journey…

    My only concern for getting off the meds revolved around the withdrawal and whether 15 years of doctors and the pharmaceutical propaganda that I could have a serotonin problem and would have to figure out how to force myself to find other means of coping with the “disease” while laying on the floor in a Read more

  • Where is the dryer lint outcry?

    Facebook sent me to the cupboard for white vinegar and then what seems to be a day long project of running water through my keurig to rid the residual vinegar smell and taste.  I had thought about warm water sitting in the reservoir for days although not the same water for days.  When we leave Read more
