@loaf,

Come get me. 🙂

@kittengirl,

You have a great weekend too. There are a few more Leo Girls on this Thread. I will
let you know who are Leos. There is always a party. 🙂

Happy Memorial Day Sheba! I posted at the kitty picture. Have a good one! 😀

Hi Sheba,

Hope you are not in Heidi withdrawals too badly. I am staying busy today cleaning (and cuddling kittens). My new sofa from Pottery Barn was delivered earlier this morning so I’m enjoying that. I think you will find the book interesting. I love animals too, all animals, but am drawn so much to cats because I understand them and bond with them. I think cats just know cat people and that’s why they choose us. I rescue animals too. My cats are all rescued or adopted us or were born from kitties that adopted us. The new kittens were born to a feral cat (calico and gorgeous) that we have been working with since last fall. I named her Tammy-Tabitha. I am so happy her kittens will not be growing up feral and will have a loving home with us! We will keep working with her and hope that one day she will fully be ours to love. It’s a very slow process but at least she trusted us enough to have her babies here. Now if we can just catch her to get her fixed…

Btw, my husband is a Taurus too. It gets very interesting sometimes with a Leo and a Taurus in the same house!

Hope you have a wonderful day! 😀

Have one. ♥

You Are Not Crazy

Sometimes as adults, we just need a time out to refocus and gather ourselves before starting out again.

Most of us feel a little crazy from time to time. Periods of high stress can make us feel like we’re losing it, as can being surrounded by people whose values are very different from our own. Losing a significant relationship and moving into a new life situation are other events that can cause us to feel off kilter. Circumstances like these recur in our lives, and they naturally affect our mental stability. The symptoms of our state of mind can range from having no recollection of putting our car keys where we eventually find them, to wondering if we’re seeing things clearly when everyone around us seems to be in denial of what’s going on right in front of their eyes. For most of us, the key to survival at times like these is to step back, take a deep breath, and regain our composure. Then we can decide what course of action to take.

Sometimes a time-out does the trick. We take a day off from whatever is making us feel crazy and, like magic, we feel in our right mind again. Talking to an objective friend can also help. We begin to see what it is about the situation that destabilizes us, and we can make changes from there. At other times, if the situation is particularly sticky, we may need to seek professional help. Meeting with someone who understands the way the human mind reacts to stress, loss, and difficulty can make us feel less alone and more supported. A therapist or a spiritual counselor can give us techniques that help bring us back to a sane state of mind so that we can affect useful changes. They can also mirror our basic goodness, helping us to see that we are actually okay.

The main purpose of the wake-up call that feeling crazy provides is to let us know that something in our lives is out of balance. Confirm for yourself that you are capable of creating a sane and peaceful reality for yourself. Try to remember that most people have felt, at one time or another, that they are losing it. You deserve a life that helps you thrive. Try and take some steps today to help you achieve more balance and a little less crazy.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day or Decoration Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country’s armed forces. The holiday, which is currently observed every year on the last Monday of May, will be held on May 28, 2018. The holiday was held on May 30 from 1868 to 1970. It marks the unofficial start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end. The holiday, from latest to earliest, is slightly more likely to fall on May 30, May 28 or May 25 than on May 27 or May 26, and slightly less likely to occur on May 31 or May 29.
