Living Life Beautifully

I was just thinking about how many times I have read about the way the world works now with phones and facebook.  I was thinking about how everyone seems distracted and kids don't know how to communicate and people aren't getting out with friends as often. I think I'm starting to kind of disagree with some of it. I love facebook. I have had years and years of people who have come through my life. I love that I can friend them and see how beautiful their children are and see some of the wonderful things that are happening in their life. Some of my friends on facebook are not close friends but might be someone I knew when I was young and really looked up to.  Or maybe they are a new friend who I have something in common with.  I've changed my way of thinking about social media.  I want to connect with people. I go through my news feed and I see all the pictures and fun things people do.  I don't comment or like everything because there are so many.  B...

Before I even go on to my email and facebook today... I wanted to blog about stuff. I have a rubber band on my wrist.  I put one on this morning and Bruce did also. We have a tendency to allow our attitude to slip into the negative. We've been reading different books out loud and talking about them. One book is on boundaries and the other is about attitude. It's hard to have a good attitude all the time. Especially when the pool falls apart, and the car won't start. So the rubber band is to pop when we find ourselves falling into the negative attitude ditch. It's hard to climb out of that ditch. Sunday was my birthday.  I had a flare starting that day but chose to work on the pool anyway. It didn't work, the pool liner fell back in.  So yesterday was a full blown flare from being out in that heat all day Sunday.  I was not smart. On my birthday I got a gift from My cousin Mary and a black bantam Wyandotte chick from a friend. ………….. Now....

Good Morning... good morning...…  I'm singing that, in case you were wondering. I just had alexa play me a song this morning because I wanted to listen to the words. I'll tell ya about it in a minute. I was at church last night, we serve in the evening service, and during Pastor Ray's message I started tearing up.  The tears just kept falling and I didn't have anything to wipe them away.  My husband is right next to me and he gets so upset for me.  He's so sweet.  He's trying to console me, not knowing why face is dripping.  lol.  There was a part of the pastors message that brought to mind some of the things I've dealt with in the past. If you don't know me well, I have a really sensitive heart.  Too sensitive. Everyone who knows me well knows this. I was just going to say that my brothers don't even know that about me but.... never mind...they do. I'm sure it has annoyed them for years.  Lol. I don't want anyone to be unhappy....

Yesterday I had a meltdown. I haven't had one in a while.  I guess it was time. Our work here depends on having a good internet connection. All of our business depend on it. So we were doing our Friday morning radio show and the stream kept going down. Bruce ended up spending hours on the phone with them... again... Earlier we woke up to find our bank account hacked and someone purchased over $2000 in hockey tickets with it. Then I called my dad, which I try to do each month, and I always cry after our conversation. I don't know what it is.  I don't know why I always cry after talking to him. He doesn't really have anything to do with me.  Maybe I just feel sad about that. I was all excited to start a new business this week.  I found something that made a difference in my life and wanted to share it with others.  So I felt like it was a great idea. No sales so far.  Was I thinking that everyone would magically buy the product from me. I won't ...
