Doing my best to keep all in order. I will take all the prayers you can give. My mom, who has a direct route to heaven, is saying rosaries. I know this will take some time, just hoping it doesn’t get worse. Other than being tired mentally, I am hanging in. All you ladies are wonderful.

Oodie, thank you, you are an angel with all your advice. My sister is calling every day and she will pick up anything I need and leave it on my porch and so will my neighbors so I have that covered. I relayed all your experience with this to hubby and he shook his head. I just don’t want him to get worse, trying to stay out of the hospital. Yes, he has the chills, temp back and forth, some joints hurt and he does get diarrhea. I have a 409 spray that is just like the Lysol and I also have clorox wipes. I told him not to be a martyr and if he thinks he needs the hospital we will get him there. Ironically, my neighbor across the street called to say he saw an ambulance at my next door neighbor’s early this morning so not sure yet what happened. Just trying to take care of my house. What a way to end this year.

If you need food in the house most markets have a delivery service. Believe it or not, Aldi’s delivers as well. Ok, Walmart has delivery, but be aware that not all things are. Most have pickup. I found Target to be pretty good with same day delivery. If you order a certain amount it’s free. Their delivery is the same day within a couple of hours or by the next day depending upon what time you ordered. .

I know you are scared out of your mind. Just relax and we will get through this together. I just remembered one other thing. On the cruise I brought Lysol spray and would spray our room and bathroom several times per day. Just give the spray to hubby and let him do it every so often. You should not, under any circumstances be in the same room with him, even for a second. This virus is extremely catchy. Also, you should notify anyone you and hubby came in contact with within the last 10 days to two weeks. Please be well and please stay safe.

Acknowledging Your Growth

Evolution of your soul is a natural fact of life and becomes a potent motivational force when celebrated.

Since personal evolution is most often a slow and gradual process, it can be difficult to recognize the scope of the changes taking place in our lives. Yet it is important that we regularly acknowledge our ongoing growth and reward ourselves for the many wonderful feats of self-improvement we have accomplished. When we intentionally contemplate our progress, we need never feel that we are languishing between past achievements and the realization of future goals. If we look closely at our lives, we may see that much of what brings us pleasure in the present is representative of the ambitions of our past that we worked so hard to attain. At one time, the abundance we enjoy currently likely seemed like a far-off dream. Now it is simply reality — a reality we created through our diligence, passion, and unflagging determination. Whether our progress is fast or slow, we deserve to congratulate ourselves for our successes.

To remind yourself of the insights you have gained with time, temporarily adopt an outsider’s perspective and carefully consider how your life in the present differs from the range of experiences you lived through in the past. Creating a written list, in a journal or otherwise, of those strengths, aptitudes, and inner qualities you now attribute to yourself can help you accept that you are not the same person you were one year ago, five years ago, or 10 years ago. Your attitudes, opinions, and values were likely markedly different, and these differences can be ascribed to your willingness to accept that you still have much to learn. If you have difficulty giving yourself credit for these changes, think about the goals you realized, the lives you touched, the wisdom you acquired, and the level of enlightenment you attained over the past years.

Recognizing growth is neither boastful nor immodest. Evolution is a natural fact of life and becomes a potent motivational force when celebrated. Knowing that you are brighter, stronger, and more grounded than you once were, you can look forward to the changes to come. In acknowledging your growth, you build a sturdy foundation upon which you can continue to blossom well into the future. 😎

@oodiebom,

Good Afternoon in Florida. Oodie I do hope you find your important paper work.
Just breathe and try to think where it may be. I have had moments like that but it was
not because of me it was because hubby likes to move things around. 🤣

Stay warm if the weather is cool there. We are chilly in OZ we are around 31 degrees. 😎

This is a Florida Sunset. 😘💕I am sure you have seen many.

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California. I did not do the quote right that you did not get. 🤣

That is a Beekman’s thing and I added something and could not edit because we only
have like 7 minutes to catch a mistake or typo.

Oh well I hope this week is a good week it does not feel like Monday at all. Taci you had
a scary moment with the dogs. Glad the owners were quick to take action.

Our son is doing fine and all the kids are in GA. All working from home. 😘💕

I hope your mother heals soon. I am worried about Shoelady and hubby. I hope
she checks in when she have the time she did say she was busy and worried. So would I.

Enjoy the trails today. 🌹
