@Sheba, so sorry, I just posted and then saw your message. It’s a shocker and so sad.
I read her Mother and Sister also passed, right? Did she have other family? May she rest in comfort. Have you heard of greeters? Someone was telling me about this recently after my Mother’s death. I don’t know what to think but the thought is nice.

@Sheba, You have such a large family. I am so happy they can get together and ski.
Wow Gems by Michael Valitutti is here! I tried to buy the Padparadashcha ring and it went right to waitlist, even though it didn’t show that way on the screen, so I canceled the order.
Maybe he will bring more. I can wait. The Kunzite heart ring sold out fast too. Loved them both!
I will check back from time to time for those.

Oz sounds much frio (very cold) today. My fit bot is beeping at me to move but I am so tired.
Have a great evening.

Hi All! Did anyone buy the TS?

@taci,

I did this entire thread for the past two days under extreme grief. The loss of a dear
family friend at 50 years old who just was working and stood up and dropped dead.

I just have to keep it moving. My heart is broken.

So Much To Do..😎😘💕

Giving Excuses

When we offer nothing but excuses in our lives, we are not being honest with anybody, mostly ourselves.

Excuses may seem like rational reasons for us not to do something, but if we’re not careful we can allow them to keep us from reaching our goals. Too often we accept our excuses as reasons why we cannot accomplish what we set out to do, and instead of finding alternatives we give up. But if we can be honest with ourselves and take responsibility for our choices, we will begin to notice that we no longer give excuses. When we keep our minds focused on our goals, we will find that excuses fade away in the light of our priorities, and issues become challenges that can help us become wiser and stronger.

Sometimes we may give others excuses rather than be fully honest. We may think it is kind to tell someone we are willing to do something with them, whether work or play, but then keep putting them off. This diverts our energy into keeping the truth at a distance while continuing a falsehood. But when we can take responsibility for our feelings and express them honestly, but gently, the other person is free to find someone who is better suited to accompany them while we are free to pursue the things we like. When we can do this, our energy can be invested in building better lives and relationships.

There’s another way in which excuses rob us of energy — and that is in the power of our thoughts and words. If we find ourselves in a situation, for example, where we are being asked for a financial contribution but we use the excuse that we can’t afford it, we create and attract lack and limitation into our lives. The same goes for seemingly simple things like pretending to not feel well or any other false statement. We may think that excuses make things easier, but they complicate matters with smokescreens. When we can commit to our priorities, take responsibility for our choices, and communicate them honestly to others, there will be no need to make excuses, and we will have much more energy to dedicate to all the things we love. 😎

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the burgh’. 😘💕😎I hope your husband’s Doctor’s appointment goes
very well. My husband has an appointment with his Cardiologist next week. I know how

husband weight 138 pounds very lean and with good muscles. 😘💕😎We eat a healthy
diet hubby do not like sweets. Anyway I know you are anxious for this to be over.

I am praying all is well Covid-19 is no joke. Please stay warm. Give Jake a nice OZ hug. 😘
You know he will be waiting for you at the door when you come home. 🌹

@71flowerchild,

Still on my mind I hope this post finds you doing well in Texas along with the fur babies. 😘💕🌹

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California thank you for asking about my family. Everyone is
recovering from Covid-19. This thing is a beast. So far part of the family is in the
Mountains of Colorado at a Lodge having a ball. We have relatives from Minnesota.
This side of the family is very well off not bragging but they can go anywhere in the
world when the time is right. Somehow they chose to go in the Mountains of Colorado.
My niece is only 14 years old and spent almost a week in the Hospital last week. My
brother and SIL at her side.

She was able to make the trip and is having a ball. 😘💕😎I know you are busy Taci
do what you have to do with your mother’s Estate. I left you more Eye Candy. 🤣

Enjoy the hike and the trails with your husband and have a safe day. 😘
