Club Sheba Holiday Edition

I am feeling better today though there is still some swelling and itching. Nothing like yesterday when it also hit elsewhere. It is only in the 50s today in Florida and will be 40 and below here tonight. Colder tomorrow. However, by Thursday back to the mid 70s. Not holding my breath because another cold front for Friday and Saturday and may be cool all next week. Don’t worry, I have winter clothes here also.

On the swelling. One thing you should do is to check the underarm just before you shave. If you see a pop up not to worry. It has happened to me and to most women. It is scary to say the least and I remember the first time I saw it I mentioned it to my dad. He had the answer and that was you need to change your deodorant from time to time. It is easy as that. I change every two to three months and when I stay in, do not use any. Hope this suggestion helps.

Here’s something to ponder. I did a load of laundry and after everything was in the dryer I noticed something quite shining at the bottom of the washer. I picked it up and it was a brand new quarter. I had turned all pockets inside out prior to the wash. There was no loose change. Go figure. Nice to see and gives me a smile for the rest of the day.

I’m still eating leftover turkey and not getting tired of it yet. Enjoying every morsel.

Glad everything turned out to be OK. Go make yourself a huge smoothie, sit back and relax and breathe a sigh of relief.

Wow, I started to get choked up reading about your appointment. Can anything be easy? Just happy all is well. Get the drinks ready so we can toast this one out the window.

The ‘burgh looks just like the picture. I don’t think it has stopped snowing all day. My husband shoveled the deck three times already. It is heavy snow so keeping my fingers crossed no trees fall. Not the way I wanted to start December but ’tis the season in the northeast.

I hope all good news tomorrow. Give Poppy some extra attention and love. Jake sending hugs and snowy tail wags to you both.

Sheba, you must have been so frightened, and I can’t imagine all the thoughts running through your head and being all alone. How fortunate you were to be able to get looked at asap and get this behind you. I was going to go out and was hesitating because of covid so was reading your thread.
Take it easy today and so sorry you have to go through all this.

Bella is a lovely name and glad your daughter is enjoying her pet.

It’s gem carving season and we have the most fabulous jewelry to share with you! Please join Lynn Murphy on HSN and me to see my holiday collection of gemstone jewelry We will be live on HSN on December 2nd from 5-7pm.

Deeper Meanings

It is not always for us to know, the deeper meaning of everything that occurs in our life.

All of us who seek to be conscious and aware regard our experiences as teachers, and we try to discern what lessons we are learning from the things that happen in our lives. Sometimes the lesson is very clear from the get-go, and other times we have to really search to understand the deeper meaning behind some event. While this search often yields results, there also comes a point in the search where what we really need to do is move forward. It is possible that we are not meant to know the deeper meaning of certain occurrences. Answers may come later in our lives, or they may come as a result of letting go, or they may never come.

We are all part of a complex system of being, and things work themselves out in the system as a whole. Sometimes we are just playing a necessary part in that process with a result larger than we can understand. It may have very little to do with us personally, and while that can be hard to understand, it can also free us from overthinking the matter. Sometimes it is best to see it in terms of karma, a past debt we have been able to repay in this way, or as the clearing of energy. We can simply thank the event for being part of our experience and let it go. This completes the process that the occurrence has made possible.

To make this letting go official, we can perform a ritual, make a final journal entry on the subject, or sit in meditation with the intention of releasing the event from our consciousness. As we do so, we summon it one last time, honoring it with our attention, thanking it, and saying good-bye. We then let it go out the door, out the window, out the top of our heads, or into the earth through the bottoms of our feet, liberating ourselves from any burden we have carried in association with it. AMEN!

Kitten sending Kitty Hugs to you and your family.

Cherie,

Good Afternoon in S. California. Happy Holiday’s and please stay safe.

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the burgh. What a day I am so tired. The Surgeon appt. was
jarring to say the least. I made it through he felt a lump under my arms both of them.
I had a sonogram and they said I did not need a needle biopsy which would have been
the next step. I was fine and all I want was to breathe. I have another appt. tomorrow.

This one will be a lot better good grief I would like to kick 2020 down the path. All I know
is I made down that cruel path.

I hope Jake is doing well today my poor Poppy was worried about me and he met me
at the front door.

@71flowerchild,

Howdy and Happy Holiday’s in Texas. I am doing fine today. I hope all is well with you and
your family. Give Jewell and Little D a nice OZ hug and pet.

@taci,

Good afternoon in California. I had a little fright today at the Surgeon’s Office after all
was said and done I am alright. Read what I wrote to Oodie.

Taci I was somewhat nervous what woman would not be. I was nervous because I don’t
want to upset anyone in my family after all we have been through this year I still have not
told my husband.

I am going finger shopping I do have an appt. with my Oncologist tomorrow. This should
be easy. Knock on wood.

Have a good hike today I am going to watch the Moon tonight with Poppy.

@oodiebom,

Good Afternoon in Florida. Oodie I hope you are feeling better today.

I have something to tell you and it happened today. I had my appt. with the surgeon
during the examination he said my lymph nodes under my arms were swollen and I
needed to go downstairs and have a sonogram and maybe a biopsy. I thought he was
joking he was not he said he wants to know what it is and I would have an answer before
I left. Well they worked me in and I was alone for about an hour the longest hour I did not
call my children or my husband I had to tough it out. In the end it was Nothing! Nothing!
I prayed to god to let me be alright after the year I have had. They were going to do a
needle biopsy on me today when they finished with me I never walked so fast in my life.
Everyone kept complimenting on my Hilary Scott Topper I brought her at HSN. I just said
thank you and kept moving I could not breathe until the air hit my face. I came home
and just thank god for being there for me. Oodie no needle biopsy was needed that
was the least of my worries. Moving forward.

Oodie that was my day and I never want to re-live this one.
