Good day, and welcome to the beginning of a new week! Our views of Monday set the tone for the entire week, so we must try not to oppose Monday because it will never change and will return. Our views of Monday are simply a matter of perspective, and we should try to embrace it. Each day, including Monday, is just another day in our journey in life. Even though it was short, we had an opportunity to enjoy a weekend, and hopefully, you could take advantage of each day! My post on Mondays used to be “Motivational Monday”, and can be viewed similarly, but there is a slight change. I want to help ..read more

Anyone who has read my blogs knows I have a strong love for animals, finding it easy to communicate and form bonds with them. I have mentioned several times I started feeding a couple of what appear to be feral outside cats a few months ago. During the first few days, only two cats were noticed on the front porch, so naturally, I began talking to and feeding them. To my surprise, it seems like the cat is out of the bag, pun intended, and currently, there are between six and eight kitty visitors who come for a good meal at least twice a day. Word has spread quickly through the neighborhood kit ..read more

Happy Friday Eve! I hope your week is going well and you have not encountered anything that discouraged you because you deserve better than that. I understand life can feel overly complicated, but no matter what happens, you can overcome anything and succeed with what you want. None of the struggles you experienced during this week will end, and you will move forward to better things. It might not seem that way right now because you might still be struggling with the emotional after-effects, but please remember nothing lasts forever. Although in the challenging moment of your struggle, it see ..read more

Happy Wednesday and making it halfway through another week! How has your week been so far? It seems to have been a crazy week. I mentioned Monday was the beginning of the former president of the United States criminal trial, and I am sure even though something should come out of it, the trial will amount to nothing. I am not sure why I am surprised anyone in powerful positions can get away with doing illegal things, but I do not foresee any changes. Monday was also the final day to complete taxes in the United States, and it was another miserable and stressful experience, but it is a yearly i ..read more

Happy Tuesday, y’all! I hope your week is going well so far and continues to get better with each day! In the United States, the week began with a bang, as yesterday was the last day to complete taxes, which is never a fun time. Most of us wonder where all our tax dollars go because most roads remain terrible to drive on, and we surely do not get any benefits from healthcare. Yesterday was also the start of another trial for the former president and leading presidential candidate, Donald Trump. This trial is a criminal trial and makes it terrible he is the leading candidate for the president ..read more

When you have a health condition where the heat makes it worse, looking at the weather for the upcoming week is an awful idea! Mother Nature has been slightly disagreeable lately and has caused issues with how I feel physically. I am sure I am not the only one who thinks weather plays a role in several conditions, including pain and migraines. What is it about the weather that can trigger issues in someone with medical conditions? Is it all in a person’s mind, or could there be truth to this phenomenon? Between every other day being another rainy day and the temperatures rising, I am ready to ..read more

On April 10th, it was two months since I watched the bright and sparkly light in our precious cat Sundance’s blue eyes fade dark. He fought so hard for weeks until the very end of his life, and his little lungs gave in. During the last two months, we have tried holding onto the happiness and love this furry angel brought into our lives, which has provided us with some comfort but does not mend our broken hearts. In every inch of our home, there is another memory of Sundance. The place in the dining room where he cried five times and the place in the living room where he took his last breath s ..read more

Life can become increasingly and overwhelmingly challenging without any notice or warning signs. These feelings can leave you wondering where your well-planned life disappeared because nothing that is going on was part of your plan. Understanding change is necessary and scary, but the changes witnessed never should have occurred as they did not benefit anyone and only caused pain. The tragic losses you wanted to avoid but could not fix the problems were harsh. How many hard times does one have to endure before they have had enough or crack from stress and heartache? Are they supposed to grin ..read more

Happy Friday Eve, y’all! I hope you are having a wonderful week and looking forward to the weekend. Do you have anything planned for the weekend? I know certain areas in the United States will see the total eclipse on Monday, which should be a wonderful experience. We had discussed driving to an area where the eclipse could be seen, but after careful consideration, it would be a nine-hour drive there and back, which seemed like too much driving for us, and we decided against going. I cannot say if we will regret this decision, but I will let you know. I had concerns about going that I never m ..read more

Happy Tuesday, which means we survived the day that is most dreaded by many people, Monday! Finding your place in the world can be difficult in a society that appears to be overwhelmingly challenging and people with different ways of thinking. Everyone wants to try to fit in and be accepted, but fitting into a society like ours is not necessarily good because of the amount of hate in the world. Why do many people think hate and discrimination is acceptable? It is 2024, and we should have learned to be more accepting and understanding, but we have all witnessed on the news politicians using ha ..read more
