There is beauty in all things! |
My Outlook on everyday things. They say that the eyes are the door to your soul. They can tell others if your happy, joyful, sad, angry, tired, even lie or tell the truth, shall I go on or do you get the picture? |
One man's junk is another man's treasure, unless it doesn't sell it's still Junk๐ฐ๐๐ธ๐ต๐ฐ As I sit here looking out my picture window watching my son selling off his past and his children's things. It leaves me to wonder just how hard it really is for him. My son hasn't had a real job in over two years. He has lost everything (including seeing his children) except for having these small items left. But, needing the money is the big factor here now. That we will not give details at this point. When you have had a speciality job that pays excellent money and have no experience in any other field it leads to a very large domino effect. It was hard to watch him at first, but I think he has come to grips with having to let go of some of those memories. Like the Disney World vacation they took some years ago. He had some of the stuffed toys he got them for sale. I had to walk away, before he saw, my tears. That was his big surprise vacation for them. He'd saved up for it and took them by himself. I came along at the end for 2 days, another surprise for them. So, we hoard things for years, memories, keepsakes and we collect items. To what just save for a rain day to sell? I also had to relief myself of some items. It was hard to let go of some. My daddy gave them to me and he has been gone for years now. But, he wouldn't want me to hang on to them if I needed the money. So, why do we hoard things, hang on to and even covent things. It states in the Bible not to, but we still do. And he said to them. "Take care, and be on your guard against all coventousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." Luke 12:15 So maybe we should have more yard sales? May you all have a wonderful day. Gotta go sell something's now May you be blessed always, |
Cha-ching cha-ching cha-ching ... Looking for apartments today, called a few so I could drive by and see what they looked like. Here is my conversation with one lady. You said what? $675 for one bedroom, one bath, Ma'am, 560 sq ft. It's how much? $675 No way, you've got to be kidding me, for that size? No ma'am, I don't kid about money. In that neighborhood, is it save, I'm a single female. Not to say that I can't take care of myself. That's what Smith and Wesson is for! Ma'am you'll need a 3 bedroom, that'll be $975. If you have someone living with you, everyone will need to fill out an application also, if not a minor. There are No pets allowed either! Where is it located? Which one? The one bedroom, I only need one bedroom! What about the other's? Oh, (giggling) trust me Smith and Wesson can take care of themselves! So, is it a nice neighborhood? Yes, I think so, it'll be great after we remodel them. When is that supposed to be finished? 2 months, Ma'am. Ok, I'll take a look and let you know. She gives me the address and we hang up. I circle around the neighborhood 4 times looking for it. So, I decide to gps it. I passed it twice, never knew they existed. Let's talk, remodel now. Really one to two months, more like 6 months to a year. Needless to say, I didn't call back. Ok, before being thrusted into my life after my divorce, I have to admit life was good. But, now trying to make ends met is a little rough sometimes. SSDI has it's moments, God provides for me otherwise. He has gotten me out of some pickles. But, when it comes to a place to live in a safe environment is top priority with me. The landlords these days are SHARKS, GREEDY MONEY HUNGRY SHARKS! When I owned property I never made my tenants life in the crud and the uninhabitable conditions. I can't believe there are people that do this to other's. And don't blink an eye about it while taking the money to the bank. I talked to so many people today it was ridiclous. Not one person had a safe, decent place for a single female to live in. Without gouging her pocketbook. How in the world is anyone to live in these conditions? And my son asks me, "Why?" I want to own my own place. Because I know it will be taking care of and I'll be safe. Maybe I should put myself in a retirement home already. I'd be safe, oh wait, some elderly ole man would chase me everywhere. My luck he'd sneak under my bed. "Confound it, really what in tar-nation Mr. Johnson are you doing under there? Oh dear me?" I'll leave that to ones imagination, if you get my drift. I have no restrictions on what state, what city, or how small or large my new home has to be. Just needs to be safe, close to family and friends at least 1 bedroom, but 2 would be nice if I had a guest spend the night. That's not to much to ask, is it? Oh wait, the price has to be reasonable, I do need to eat, electricity, water. One guy, wanted $900 a month for a 2 bedroom. Across the street was $575. See what I'm talking about? There are 3 houses on the same block. I can't get ahold of one of them though maybe, tomorrow. My take on this, people are getting greedy and don't feel like they should help anyone out. And yes I admit that there are some out there that destroy property. I'm not one, I've helped the landlord I have now with repairs to save cost. Maybe, just maybe that can work in my favor one day. Maybe some of you can give me input on this, "What do you think about price gouging renter's? Thank You Lord Jesus ...

Gezzzz, what a way to start my day out. I'm sitting here answering Schnujo is Late to Lannister emails regarding my package donation for her new auction. I finally decided to open my curtains and let this glorious day into my humble home. I move one curtain back and reach up to the other one and I am met with scruciating pain on my middle finger. No, it's not funny either... well maybe a tiny bit, now. ๐ค๐คฆ๐ I immediately ran to the kitchen to get something to stop the pain and the poison from going any further than my hand. I watch it as my right hand swells up and then the pain ceases from going up my arm. It is now slightly swollen and the pain is only in my fingers somewhat. I go back into the living room to search for who assaulted me, I found a good sized WASP flying around the window sill. Just to say he is NOT in anymore pain! Just sayin! Hope your day has a better start than mine did. But, it all works out in the end! May ya'll have a very blessed day and stay away from all windows. ๐ณ๐ค๐ค๐๐ค๐คฆ

Today, we mourn those losses still. It doesn't seem like it was 17 years ago. It is still fresh in my mind, as it shall always be. Still remembering where I was at that devastating loss. I still search for the towers in the skyline of New York. Hopes of seeing their etched images in the sky. Remembering all who were within. Never to forget, that we lost so many to something so evil. We came together as a nation. We banded together to form an alliance, promising that this shall never, happen again. We stand united for freedom, justice, independence and peace. I shall never forget that day. All those that we lost at the Tower's, at the Pentagon and in the field of Pennsylvania. The great loss that we all endured. Let us remember so we may stand united for them and the future of our nation. To all those families and the families there after, we are still fighting for our freedom and safety. I salute you and my thoughts and prayers will always be with you. ~Teresa Blakely |
Being sick sucks, but not knowing what is wrong ๐ค๐ท๐ค can quickly make you evaluate your life. Some of you know that I've been under the weather somewhat. Suffering from severe migraines for the past six months. I only told a hand full of you, if that many. And the only reason I'm telling you now is, because like so many of us we ignore our bodies. It is very important to listen to your body. I have had many family members that have done so in the past and lost them because they ignored their symptoms. When I started having different severe symptoms besides the headaches last month before going on my trip I delayed the doctor once more for another 2 months. Here are my symptoms I have been having, severe migraines, hot flashes, weak muscles, severe leg cramps, nausea, hypoglycemia, lack of concentration, hyperthyroidism, just to name a few. Now, I didn't have all of them at the same time, but they started increasing more as time went on. To look back it has been a period of over 3-5 years, since my accident. Now, that being said I thought it was from the injury to my neck and back, oh and along with the change of life. Some change, huh? Well, it turns out that these are a underlying problems, which in my case can be deadly if not treated. My potassium is extremely low and needs to be raised. They are running tons of blood test to make sure exactly what dose of medicine to give me. But, they have started with it already to get it in my system. I've done some research on Cushing's Syndrome and since the doctor said that it is mostly caused by steroid use. When I had my accident they would give my steroid shots monthly for 3 years for pain, inflammation etc. I should know the test results in a few days. I was going to wait to tell everyone at that time. But, this can't wait, if you need to go please go don't wait. It could mean life or death. If my ex, had waited 2 more months he wouldn't be here today to enjoy his grandkids, it was Stage 4 cancer. His father, (my daddy) had a massive heart attack, after a series of 4. He didn't see his great grandchildren born. So please, don't put it off anymore. Those symptoms mean that there is something wrong. God gave us alarms for our bodies to tell us when something is wrong. Quit turning them off and ignoring them. P.S. I really need to add this, sorry I forgot too. I don't expect any likes just comments and of course you to all take care of yourselves. That's what is important to me and your loved ones. Enjoy life, do what you want, need and enjoy. Life is precious and always remember tomorrow is never promised. I love every one of you so much. |
