30 August 2021 Being Happy

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 !

25 August 2021 Balance

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

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.

23 August 2021 Upload

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 !

18 August 2021 Rested

Hello to you . How are you ? Are you feeling rested? I hope so. Lately I have been feeling like a SIMS video game character that just can’t get my energy bar to full! There was a cheat you could used called a Rejuvenator. All you had to was put your SIM in it for a few seconds and all the bars reset. Some days I wish that was real! There is such a fine balance between protein, sugars and sleep.
