I cannot believe that Trivia is tonight. Where did the week go??? Hoping to be there for a little while. Not sure if I can sign in but will try.

Hubby, though in pain, seems to be better. He took a shower standing for a few minutes and then sat down. Everything I looked at for a chair in the shower on Amazon had flaws where the chair could topple or didn’t fit, etc. etc.. So, I improvised. The chair from our lanai didn’t fit. The arms were too wide apart to get them through the door of the shower and into the area. He was sent home with a commode because going from our den to the bathroom may be too long of a “commute” to the bathroom. Well, it isn’t difficult at all. So rather than losing $$, it is sitting in the shower stall and having the flap down he is able to sit and be comfortable. Oh yes, it has arms on either side so it is easy for him to stand.

Today hubby surprised me. I was in our bathroom for a couple of minutes and turned around. Hubby was no where in sight. The wheelchair was in the bedroom. I walked down the short hallway and there he was, raiding the frig. He was standing upright and had that mischievous grin like a kid caught in the cookie jar. It was good to see him this way. Now to find him a hobby where he can use that brain of his. Since he enjoys math I thought of Suduku. I also thought of logic problems. He shook his head that he didn’t want it. I will definitely come up with something. Maybe tomorrow.

Well it is off to Aldi’s and to pick up his meds. Talk to you tonight at some point. Ta Ta

Wealth Is Neutral

As a form of potential energy that empowers us to generate change, money is neither good nor bad.

At its most basic, money is a tool that enables us to meet our individual needs. As a form of potential energy that empowers us to generate change, it is neither good nor bad. Yet many people react emotionally to issues concerning finances, unconsciously condemning currency itself, the manner in which money is spent, and people who live lives of financial abundance. Individuals who are rich in gifts such as high intelligence are acknowledged for their positive traits while those who have acquired material riches or aspire to become wealthy are frequently judged harshly. However, wealth is not a trait upon which judgment can be legitimately passed. It tells us nothing about how a person lives, what they believe in, whom they care for, or the scope of their values. Like any blessing, wealth is merely an instrument of purpose that can be used both constructively and destructively.

From an early age, people learn to court wealth while simultaneously associating money with greed, selfishness, and unethical behavior. Consequently, this idea becomes entrenched in their hearts as envy. To attain a balanced and rational comprehension of money, as well as a fairer perspective of wealth, we need to recognize that outward manifestations of wealth tell us little about the individuals enjoying those blessings. When we feel the finger of jealousy prompting us to draw unflattering conclusions about people whose lives seem more financially secure than our own, we should remind ourselves that there are many elements of their circumstances we cannot see. Their wealth may be the result of long hours of taxing labor, they may donate a large percentage of their resources to charitable causes, or their bounty may be an incidental aspect of a life spent doing what they love. Ultimately, we can heal our hurtful associations with money by turning a blind eye toward both wealth and poverty when interacting with others and instead focusing on the individual before us.

If you take a moment to consider you own feelings regarding money and wealth, you may discover that you equate financial prosperity with happiness, power, security, independence, or self-indulgence. Money itself, however, is none of these things. You can begin developing a healthier view of wealth by simply accepting that while some possess great wealth and others do not, we all have the potential to create lives of beauty, substance, and wisdom using the resources we have been granted. ✨😜

outages for a lot of people the only good came was we needed the rain. ✨

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California I am multi-tasking today after last night’s storms.
I mean the storms were loud and I had lightning ⚡. I let Poppy out in the back
for a quick run to his spot after Poppy was out the entire sky lit up just before the
thunder claps started Poppy made it in quick and I never closed a door so fast. ✨

My husband shut down all the electronics we watched the news as thousands of
people had no power. This was around the time I logged off last night. Taci we had
rain and flooding all day and night. Hubby was making sure the sump pump was working
properly it was. 😎

Still celebrating the Leos and as you know Heidi Daus and Kittengirl have a birthday
coming up.

Happy Trails To You. ✨😘😜

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast and may this be a better day for you and hubby. 😘
I know you are super busy and as you know tonight is Trivia. ✨ Please get some
rest and eat something good and healthy. 😎 Oz had a major thunder storm last
night and many people here are without power. Trees and debris was all over the
City somehow only a few things got tossed in the yard. My husband had everything
