Hello to you. How are you ? I am doing pretty good this morning . I did something different and really enjoyed it . Today I’m thinking of the Bible passage New International Version
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” My Aunt invited me to a short Bible study today with one of her dear friends. There was just the three of us .

It really felt good to talk about God and read from psalms (psalm 145) which is the last psalm written by David and psalm 104 which was our hostesses favorite. It felt nice to get out of the house and spend some time with a couple of women who truly love God and have a strong testimony in how God has worked on their lives.

I honestly didn’t want it to end! My drawing today is symbolic of what we did today .

30 August 2021 Being Happy

by saymber, posted in Art and Poetry, Bipolar life, Health, Mental Health, Spirituality and Religion, Writing and blogging

Hello to you. How are you doing as you visit me here today ? It’s morning as I write to you . The mornings are getting cooler and I can feel fall is on its way!

This morning my thoughts turn to the concept of being happy . What does being happy even mean ? It’s such a fleeting thing!! Even if you have everything you want and need in this life will you be truly happy?

Some people seem to come by happiness so easily! They always have a smile, easy to laugh , they are easy to please and just have an air of contentment around them. I want to be more like these people again. I used to be that kind of person and then 2020 happened !

What does being happy mean to me now ? We are already almost through 2021 and I’m still figuring it out! I am getting fleeting glimpses of what it means for me . When my ex and I used to be down we would do something I need to get back in the habit of doing – mental gratitude list . We would ask each other “what are you grateful for today ?” So many things to be grateful for ! Could gratitude be a pathway to happiness ?

What am I grateful for today ? That I have the privilege of writing this blog, my health, Link, my family and friends , thankful for a God that answers my prayers – so much more !

28 August 2021 Morning

Hello to you ! How are you doing from where you are visiting from ? I hope we’ll. It’s morning as I write to you. I have been been better but I will be alright . It’s really helpful to have this blog to turn to.

Morning arrives with light, flitting of wing and color , the trees whisper amongst themselves and stretch their limbs to the morning sun, “ Good morning! Good morning!” The world seems so pleased there is another day.

For the past year or so mornings have been rough for me . I was am still adjusting to be alone and not having a people to wake up to every day . I am grateful for Link but he can’t wrap his arms around me and say “good morning.” I keep hoping it will get better.

I have been trying to establish a routine that includes walking Link and then taking a walk myself. Walking helps alleviate the anxiety I feel most mornings . I am having to come to a peace about my life now and I am hoping gradually it will get better .

27 August 2021 Sentience

Hello to you. How are you today ? I’m doing well. This morning I had a routine that actually worked for me and I feel pretty good. Even with waking up in the night !

This morning my thoughts turn to sentience . I have long wondered if the earth could even be God! What if each planet was a sentient being ? I know that a little far fetched but thinking about what is possible is it really so out there ?

When I think about this I’m thinking about how the earth functions and how much alike our functions are to the earth. The earth breathes, sweats, relieves pressure, has storms …..so many things like humans and has eyes everywhere ! Almost every living species on the planet can see or feel! I wonder if by having us and countless other species that is how the earth keeps from going insane! Just some stuff to think about!

How about all these planets that have suddenly appeared like they were hiding in plain sight ? I don’t think it’s a coincidence .

Hello to you ! How are you today? I am doing ok . It’s another chilly morning here in Idaho. How’s the weather where you are ?

We went on an adventure yesterday- went to the fair. We walked around and took in the sights and sounds and of course food and drink. It was quality time ! It’s important to make time for each other. It was nice to be out with my special someone . There was fruit smoothies, gyros and fry bread. We did one silly ride – zombies themed . Overall we had a good time !

25 August 2021 Balance

by saymber, posted in Art and Poetry, Bipolar life, Health

Hello! How are you today ? I am under a blanket as I write to you . It’s in the 50’s this morning!

Something that has been on my mind is balance . How delicate it is. If I eat too much sugar. If I drink too much caffeine. If I don’t get enough sleep. If I get too little exercise. If I watch too much tv. All of these things and more can offset “the apple art” that is my existence . I find as I get older my body is even more sensitive and it can be frustrating!

24 August 2021 Feelings

by saymber, posted in Art and Poetry, Bipolar life, Uncategorized, Writing and blogging

Hello again. How are you doing? It’s chilly this morning! I am not sure I’m ready for cooler temperatures just yet!

Feelings…….how reliable are they? When I listen to people like Joyce Meyer, she often discounts them . As a person that has lived 53 years as a really sensitive person or an empath I have relied on feelings. I have oftentimes connected feelings to the voice of intuition – the “still, small voice.” Have I been mislead all this time ? Are feelings really that unreliable ?

For the past couple of years I’ve been trying to put my life back together. The biggest stumbling block has been the feeling of fear . I really want to overcome it and get back in touch with the part of me that is confident. I want to feel sure about things again.

Hello there! How are you ? I hope life is treating you well. This morning I am thinking of the new show I found to watch on Amazon prime. It’s called Upload. So far it’s about a young man who died in a suspicious crash and has been uploaded into a heaven like digital afterlife. It has glitches and imperfections. I don’t know if I would want to live in such a place for all eternity !
