Hello My Sunny Pals, Welcome back to Shellyville.... ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| Hello Sunshine, I just did the coolest thing! My neighbor Chris asked me to help him light some lanterns for his son's 6 birthday. I wasn't sure what he meant but I said yes. It turns out that every year he lights a paper lantern and they send wishes into the night sky. I absolutely loved it! It was beyond cool to see them fly into the night sky all aglow. I love the simple things and yes I am easily amused!! Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, In the middle of my mind is a tragic truth. I am not as innocent as I pretend to be. I am not without faults. I have lived through so many of them. Only the truth is I have something to hide. I hide the truth of my unending love for him. I try so hard to ignore it. I fill up my days with activities and my nights with mindless nonsense. All to escape the reality of a haunting love that scares the s*** out of me. It's a chemistry connection. It's beyond my control and it happened when my heart wasn't even aware. It happened over 4 years ago. It is happening again right now. This time is is gone out of State. He tells me he will be back in two weeks and everything will be different. I am not sure I can believe him. Oh I know he will be back but will he be different? Is he honestly ready for me? Is he ready to take this to a place that only real adults travel? Is he ready to be whom I want him to be? Time is my best friend at the moment. I can take this and dream. Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, How can another work week be over? I love the weekends! It's hard to believe another 7 days have gone by and my kids head back to Dad's today. How come as they get older and I see them less, I miss them more? I used to spend so much time playing and talking. Now we just sit around and look at each other. I want to take them on a vacation before they go back to school. Only my funds are very tight so I need to do some research on how to find a cheap rental at a lake. I think getting them away from the Internet is the only way we can connect. They are such great kids and they deserve some fun with mom! Okay, mom deserves some fun too! Happy Friday! Love, Me |
| Hello Sunshine, I have been waking up under a heavy blanket of depression. It's not my normal feeling and I really don't like it. I feel heavy and slow. I wonder where my energy has gone and what is weighing me down? I don't get it. My diet is not that great, so I wonder if that has something to do with this. I also think it is about my current lifestyle. Work and no play is making me crazy. I am struggling with balance. However, I don't feel like it is enough out of whack to be contributing to my heavy feeling. I guess this is just part of being me. I have to accept that sometimes I have to work harder to feel more alive. I need to put my positive energy into myself. If I can accomplish my simple chores today I will feel good. I don't have much on my plate but I do know I will be getting out of the house for a long walk! I need sunshine and fresh air. Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, I made it in early to my office. I love that when I have time to set up my day and make sense of my work. I really have very little to do before my clients arrive but a ton after they leave. Writing progress reports is not my specialty. I wish I had a better system and that insurance companies didn't demand so much. I want to get paid so I do the best I can. One thing in school that they do not dwell on is that the Insurance companies are really running the show. I am so grateful I work at an agency that has a billing specialist. I would not be a very good therapist if I had to jump in hoops all day with insurance companies. Math has never been one of stronger skills. I like my listening skills so much better. I love how my day unfolds between words and emotions. I feel so blessed to be a therapist. I honestly love my work. Have a wonderful Tuesday! Love, Michelle ps...I am even going to take my son out to dinner tonight. Just the two of us. I am so looking forward to that. I think going to work when my kids are home is making me feel depressed. I want to play and hang out. It's not easy being an adult. |
| Hello Sunshine, Mother nature put on a pretty good light show last night. I didn't sleep as soundly as I normally do and I woke up in some kind of Monday funk. I am not normally a person who freaks out about work. I made sure my life resembled a happy balance. Still, knowing that I have to go to work today has made me feel a little unhappy. Perhaps, I want to be a teenager and stay home and snuggle with my babies. Whom are still sleeping. I feel like this would be a good day to nap. However, work calls and my clients need me. I love my job and will have plenty of time to nap later in life! Happy Monday! Love, Me |
| Hello Sunshine, I am still laughing! I went to a small gathering last night of my high school friends. We are all turning 50 this year so we had a party! I loved every single minute of seeing my old friends, getting caught up and reminding myself how truly blessed I am. I was surrounded by friendly strangers. I mean I haven't spoken to most of them in years. It was a blast to go down memory lane and realize how much we are all still teenagers in our hearts. I was never popular and I wasn't a band geek or even a cheerleader. I was just one student out of 290 that was lucky enough to smile and get invited to many groups. I fit in and despite the fact that I always felt like an outsider, I never was. I was my own circle of happiness and I still am. Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, It's hard to believe that even I can get it wrong in my dreams. I woke up feeling so confused only to realize it was a dang dream. It's not real. I don't have to feel that way or even act on my dream. If it is preparing me for the future then I know I am not ready. Perhaps you never are when your kids hit a certain age and the parenting advice is all you have left. You hope it was enough to teach and direct them in the right path only to discover that they are on a completely different road. I trust my gut. I trust that I did the best I could and leaving the rest up to good karma and an kind God. I am sure he will follow her path and keep her safe. Lord knows I want him too! Love, Michelle |
