The last few days have been tough. I don't want to get into detail here. Those of you who know me elsewhere will know what I'm talking about.

But I could use some pep and encouragement and this place always delivers. So please send prayers, happy thoughts, sparkles, whatever. Thanks :)

Oldies but goodies that make me happy.

Oh my goodness, Margie, the second one is my all time favorite youtube video. I even use it in my library classes to introduce foreign literature.

I am sorry you are not feeling up to snuff. Have a cookie honey :)

Thanks for the cookie Susan. :)

I will turn this situation into the better.

Sorry you're having a rough time, Fidget. You have a kind heart and karma tells me that things will work out. And soon. You maybe too young to know this movie but I pissed my pants laughing when I saw this:

Thank you misterzelph. I wish Karma would hurry it's ass up.

Sending you loves and dogbreath kisses!

Doggy kisses are the best. Sometimes it's the only way I make it through my day. :)

Sending happy thoughts and love your way.

It helps to remember that things don't always go the way we plan. Just because life sends us something unexpected doesn't mean it is necessarily bad.

When I look back on my life, the things that pushed me forward the most, made me stretch personally, were the unexpected setbacks, illnesses, tragedies, etc.

I always tell my girls (and I think of you as one of my own) that the correct door to walk through is the one that circumstances open as an unfolding, not a forcing. The next step in the great life the universe holds for you will seem obvious when that happens, even though there is uncertainty now.

We here in Western countries treat uncertainty as if it were to be avoided at all costs. Strange because people in other parts of the world - millions of them - have learned to live with uncertainty on a daily basis and still find joy.

I hope these words give you comfort. Your life is still a flower.

Love

Kathleen Waters

Thank you Kathleen. Your words do give me comfort. I struggle with change and I struggle when it is out of my control, but I will do what I always do and make this situation better.

Thanks for the encouragement and kind words. You guys are awesome.

I know we will turn this situation around. I just wish life would give me a tiny break :)


Eta: I had more time this morning for personal thank yous. You all are too amazing.

for the best.

I enjoy her posts also. Fidget and I have a little bit in common. We are both out, yet her and I have family members who are still in. She has compassion for people like me. God bless you, Fidget.

Thank you so much imaworkonit.

Sending intangible star shaped sprinkles your way (you know, the ones you put on cupcakes?)

Those are the best kind

Aww, I'm sorry, Fidget. Hopefully things will right themselves soon. You deserve to be happy.

Thank you Summer. I think I'll be happy soon, it might just be different than the happiness I was expecting and planning.

((((HUGS)))

Thanks Itz! You're the best.

Sometimes the things that pin us down are also the things that set us free. Try to be patient, and let others help you when they offer. That's the most difficult thing for me. I always want to do it all by myself. Seems like I should have outgrown that by now, but I haven't.

Take things ONE day at a time. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Don't push yourself so hard today that you can't function tomorrow. Don't obsess about the future. Focus on the morning, then noon, then evening, then sleep. Wake up tomorrow and repeat. Do things that bring you physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual peace. Don't let others tell you how or what you need to do. Only you and teachers you seek out know the answers to that.

Stop. Close your eyes, breathe in and breathe out. Smell the wonders of the fall air, the flowers, and the change of season. Take it all in. Relax, repeat. Events happen in their own time and way. Eat well, rest well, love well, and focus on how wonderful that can feel. It my be fleeting, and not as much as you want, but it's ok. Focus on the moments that you get.

Thank you madalice. I needed that.

I'm going to email you today. I might be up by you sooner than expected.

Madalice, your words were meant for Fidget but I needed to hear them right now. Thank you. :-)

Wishing you all the best Fidget
