I suppose life for me too is getting a bit much.<br />I think it is wonderful that you recognize the fact that your life is getting a bit much and will take the time to care for yourself and help you get back on track and feeling better. <br />Whatever makes you happier and feeling a bit better try to incorporate in your day. Even if it is a good cup of coffee or tea.<br />I hope you feel better soon. I wish you lived closer.<br />Blessings dearest.

Put on your favorite music and dance like you did when you were a teenager. Make plans to go to a city where you have never been. Bring an adventurous friend who won't tell tales.")<br /><br />I did that once when I got my maxed out department store card account paid off. It was some of what I got out of 13 years of marriage. But my VW Bug sucked a valve about 120 miles away, 300 plus from my destination of Corpus Christi.<br /><br />I will loan you my '98 Ford Mustang GT convertible if you decide to do that. It would be a fun ride, even 'funner' depending on who you pick to be with you (I was alone that day).<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-79740093948153987762014-03-27T11:43:08.116-04:002014-03-27T11:43:08.116-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-54511425487502508942014-03-27T06:23:17.857-04:002014-03-27T06:23:17.857-04:00Hi Sandie.

I like to get in the car and drive around our rural area, just looking at the beautiful farms, hills, and rivers - and stopping now and then to take pictures - which I often end up using on my blog. Also when you're alone it helps you think more clearly and have time to focus on the things that really matter, to ponder God's word, and to pray for people.

I have a book on solitude and it stresses the importance of it for our well being. <br />You push yourself way too hard.<br />Find some spot away from it all today and know how much you mean to us!<br />Love,<br />JemmaJemma@athomewithjemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137225389791605398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-78192686419530231332014-03-25T23:08:06.924-04:002014-03-25T23:08:06.924-04:00You always have the most beautiful photos!

You should take time off,<br />and do whatever pleases you.<br />Well, what did I do last weekend?<br />I did what I had been doing lately, sit back, relax,<br />and enjoy the outdoors with hubby.<br />He loves to cook barbecues<br />on Sundays. Our 3 cats are watching and asking for a bite...<br />I think I became more selfish when I got older, because I felt that I would have less time in my life to live a better kind of life...<br />So, I guess I have lived an adventurous sort of life after<br />I matured into an old age.<br />I think age is in one's mind.<br />I have struggled for survival for many years. Then, I could<br />not afford to lose any moment.<br />Life is too short. So, let's live<br />each day to the fullest, as if<br />it were your last...<br />It is easy to say than done.<br />Anyway, try your best, Sandie,<br />you are not going to lose anything. Your life is yours,<br />and choose the best for you.<br />I wrote my last post for 2014 in My Journal Blog. It is about fingerprints of childhood memories, and what was left in my mind after I grew older.<br />My dreams of childhood are still there, no matter what.<br />There is nothing wrong with dreaming for a better world.<br />I hope you can visit me there,<br />and say something about it...<br />Well, it's bedtime for me.<br />God bless you, Sandie, family,<br />and beloved ones.<br />You are a super friend.<br />Blessings,<br />Starry.Starry Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15800474511554103707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-83043979907212790122014-03-24T21:42:50.758-04:002014-03-24T21:42:50.758-04:00Love that earring story.

In November, my sister, daughter and I went to a shop to make beer and root beer - totally fun and delicious.<br /><br />I just took an Aqua Zumba class - totally fun, but I haven't been able to make it back due to scheduling, road trips, etc. I think I need to go this Friday.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-56200606936086443002014-03-24T20:48:42.782-04:002014-03-24T20:48:42.782-04:00Loved the pictures and captions at the bottom.

I don't mean people with a legitimate complaint, but those who never seem to be happy with anything.<br /><br />I take care of what needs to be done, but a spotless house isn't what makes me happy. Creating through crafts, playing with my grandson, and finding things to laugh at make me happy. When I am happy, the people around me seem to be happier. Both negativity and cheerfulness can be contagious. If I'm going to spread anything, I hope it will be joy.
