Hello My Sunny Pals, Welcome back to Shellyville.... ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| Hello my sunny pals, Well no school. I knew it. If a storm starts with rain and ends with snow and then mixes back to rain...you are going to have one huge ugly mess on the roads. It's such a bummer too. It seems like all our good snow this year has been ruined. I miss those glorious days of my youth when the snow would fall in December and not melt until spring. You could count on sledding every single weekend. There was no such thing as "snow days". You went to school even in a blizzard. It was the way it was. Life sure does change as you get older! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, Wanna bring me some sunshine? I am ready for summer. I am ready for warm weather and outdoor sports. I know they have them in the winter but I have never liked being outside in the winter. Maybe someday that will change. You never know. I have made enough changes it could happen. Heck, my life has changed so much I don't know what to do all the time. I have to figure it out. I need to get my boy feeling better. His cold is not going away and he is staying home from school again. I think we both could use a good dose of sunshine and health! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, Well no way around death or taxes. No way around the truth. I knew it was going to be bad but who knew you could get credit for being poor? I guess this year I am going to be okay. I rather come out even or pay a little but the Gov is going to be giving me back some cash. I like that. I wasn't expecting it. I think that is the best part. I never expect the best but am happy when it happens. I am open to it all. I am so content even when I have a head full of junk. I wish I knew of a way to get rid of a cold in 24 hours. I want to feel better. NOW! Let the lemon and honey flow! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, You should never say you are healthy around a bunch of sick people. It's all a lie. I wasn't foolin' anybody. I got a cold. I might as well confess I knew I would. I just hate being down with it. I am a fighter. I like to feel good. I like to think that all is well in my world. Things are well in my world! I had a fun little escape with my gal pals. I am going to have the kids here for the week and all will be calm. I am looking forward to some lovin' and laughs! I will fight this head cold and before long I will be back in the groove of living! Love, Michelle |
| Hello Shellyville, My whole family is out sick. Jackson, Savanna, and Brian are all fighting for a spot on the couch. I feel so bad that they all have some kind of flu bug but I am staying as far away as I can. I have been extremely healthy and I need to keep it that way. I like my health. I need it. I have far too many jobs to get sick or be out of work. It is kind of nice to have the day off from running errands with my kids! I am taking this as a hint that I better take care of myself and eat well and exercise. I love my life! Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, Yeah, I still got it. I still have my smile and sense of humor. I still look at things in a positive light. I don't know if I can change that, or that I would even want too. It was fun driving around my old life. I can say the town looks as dumpy as ever and the house I grew up in looks so SMALL! I have no idea how everything looked so big and special when I was growing up. Now, it's not. That is the beauty of life, somethings change and somethings never can. Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I am going on a adventure today! I am hitting the road early so I can go visit my friend. We were going to wait until April but realized we were wasting time. Why put off what you can do today? I have no idea what I am getting myself into but I am going with an open mind and a big heart. That is the best I can ever give my friends anyway. Let love guide your travels today! Love, Michelle |
| Hello Shellyville, I worked yesterday and I worked hard. I also played just as hard! I love my life. I love having a part-time job at an art studio. It's so fun and creative and a lot of work. I am not an art instructor I am a helper. I walk around and make sure everyone has what they need to paint. I love to see the individual expression and the creative soul at work. It brings me peace and I am not even painting! I really walked into that situation and asked for what I wanted. If I can do that, why can't I ask him to treat me the way I want to be treated? Because I know deep in my heart he can't. I have to give up and I don't want too. I am stubborn. I wish I wasn't. I wish I could just walk away and be content. Maybe someday I will find that strength. Love, Michelle |
| Hello Shellyville, I am happy to report all is well on the home front. This was the first weekend in a long time that Jackson is here. I wanted to make sure that he was well enough to be here and not hate it. I can finally see some improvements and I don't want to jinx it. I want it to be real and to last. I need my boy to be happy. I know myself well and I know that I get excited and I also know that Jackson living with his dad is best for him. It is hard but I have to do it. It's best for him and in the long run that is best for me. I am starting to find my own strength again and my humor has returned. It has a lot to do with Tim. I know he is clueless about my feelings but I don't care. We are friends and it's awesome to have his attention. I don't want to get carried away by his attention because I am lonely and single. I want to be healthy and content with just having a male friend. I think I might be growing up!! Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, Well my little girl is not feeling well. She is staying home from school. It's kind of hard to say what is wrong with her. I guess when she fully wakes up I will get a better idea. My questions is if she didn't go to school today will she be well enough to go to a birthday party sleep-over on Saturday? I am sure she will be feeling better. It's a fine line a parent has to walk to figure out kids. Heck, I am still working on myself! I am looking forward to the weekend. I don't have anything planned but I need to make some. I am getting bored with winter. Again we have no snow to go sledding. It all melted away. We really have the strangest winters anymore. Too many extremes. Have a wonderful weekend! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my little love bugs... It takes very little to show love, Today is a good day to Show A LOT of LOVE! Be kind and sweet to those you love and especially those you don't! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, Do you ever have a strange feeling in your body? Maybe like a muscle pull or something that nags at your back? I have this small spot under my shoulder blade that hurts. It's a dull pain but it catches me off guard. I haven't done anything exciting to make it occur. I woke up and it almost took my breath away. I love being reminding that my body is just as important as my thoughts. I love my body and need to take good care of it. I only have ONE! Love, Michelle |
All I can say is that it could happen again. It wouldn't take much to bring back a group mentality if we let prejudice and lies rule. What a scary thought. Touched by empty shoes and barbed wire today. Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, It's not your normal Monday morning. It's a house full of kids watching funny movies. Yep, another day of no school. Oh the joys of winter. I think this is why my career is stalled. I still need to be a stay-at-home mom. My work here is never done. Hope your day is filled with laughter and joy! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I feel like I am living a dream. Yesterday's wedding went so well. It was a blast and I know I am going to love LOVE LOVE having that job! I think this year is going to be very interesting. I see so many changes occurring and good things around the bend. It feels good to know that time does heal. Time and an open heart. Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I believe things happen for all the right reasons. I believe that the path I am on is the one I was meant to take a long time ago. I have to write a new list of goals and dreams. I am proud of the things I have crossed off my "to do" list. I went to college. I got my Master's degree 25 years later. I married for love. I divorced for love...my own. I have plans to move forward in my career. I have plans to move forward in my part-time activities. I love how my life always supports my current needs. What I never planned on was having someone from my past return. I have known Tim my whole life. Only for most of it we had no communication. He was off living his life and I was off living mine. I wonder why now he has returned with so much to share? He asked me to not let him slip away. Do I have any control over that? No, I don't. I can not control another person. I have to be honest. I have to say "this is me" here and now. When and if you choose to walk away will be on you. I only have to control myself. I am taking this one day at a time. I am happy and at peace today and that is what matters now. I love my life! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I like the snow. I like the blizzard out of his back window and laying under a bunch of blankets being a bum. I like spending time saying nothing when words are not needed. Words are not needed only love. Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I think too much and dream too much and if I drink tea in the afternoon then I can't sleep. I have been trying too hard to make sense of my relationships and I have to stop that. I have to accept what is. Not what I think it should be. I have to live in the present moment. Not think that the future will be better than today. I am not going to listen to anymore outside BS about what is happening in my heart. I do know what is best for me and when I get tired of feeling this way, I will stop. I believe my confidence just might be returning and it's a good day! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I wonder have you ever given a friend too much information? Been a little too helpful that it wasn't a good idea? I think I over-stepped my friendship role last night. I forget that sometimes being honest can be brutal. I know for me I am very blunt. I say what is on my mind and if I am with someone that I can't then I am very worried. I am working on trying to temper that was some sweet kindness but it don't always work out that way for me. Just like things are not working out that well for Jackson. I keep praying and hoping but it sure is a slow slow process! Please God grant me some peace! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I am celebrating 6 years of Writing.com today! I look at that chunk of time and think wow! I was so active a few years ago and really writing some great poetry. I have increased my writing skills by being on this site. I increased the value of my life by the friendships I have made. I will never forget the writers that have walked into my heart. There is something special about Writing.com and I am glad to be a part of it. Happy day to me! Love, Michelle |
