Peace Out Peeps! Have a great evening. ✨😎

Sheba, a belated Happy Birthday to your sister! Awesome her daughter is doing well.

One of my favorite movies was on today, Jaws. Caught some of it. Jaws2 is on now. Jaws came out the summer i was at the beach a lot. Have lots of fond memories.

Hope you are enjoying whichever movie you decided to watch.

Housework went on the back burner today. Good day to pay bills and play catch up on much needed paperwork. Still haven’t been to the dollar store and as for turkey on Thursday, we decided to have either turkey burgers or roast a chicken. I just didn’t feel like rushing to purchase or to stand in long lines. Not my forte with Covid still doing it’s thing.

Tomorrow hubby has his physical therapy. Tempted to stop at the Farmer’s Market to pick up some fruit and veggies. Stopping will depend upon hubby’s energy and pain level. By the way, this market makes a real hot Jalapeno loaf bread. This last one was the best yet. Thought of your hubby and wish there was a way to send him a loaf. This one was hot, hot, hot. It’s the first market I have ever been to where the bakery does make their own bread and pies and other delights. Yes, like everywhere else the prices continue to go up. But the best part, when the prices do relax, so will they.

I am a little concerned with hubby’s heart issues. I really thought things were OK. Yes, he did have a minor infraction where he felt an elephant was on his chest. He refused to go to the doctor or to even make a phone call. So I did and he met with our physician. The infraction was so minor that the doctor felt there would be no tear or scar tissue. This happened over 30 years ago. It wasn’t until last week when he had a PT appointment that he was told that strenuous exercise was out of the question because of his heart. He mentioned this like it was mind over matter. But, it has stayed with me. I am very concerned and will bring this up next week. Meanwhile, we will begin walking in the AM. Because of the arthritis will not venture far. His leg does give way every now and then. But, walking may help both conditions. Hmm….do you think a dog is in our future???? Maybe two dogs. One for me so I know there is a knock at the door or the phone is ringing when I’m not in the same area. By the way, speaking of pooches. Did you see the button they use that tells you they want a treat or they want to go out? It’s cute. Supposedly, it works.

The floor in the bathroom really looks divine. It makes the room. Guess I better think about purchasing a new vanity and a few other pieces to bring the room together.

Yes, I really am missing the house on the Cape and my neighbors. We will be asking when next week, but think we would be better off waiting until March or April to make the drive. May be better for hubby ‘if we wait and see. Also with Covid on the rise again, not sure. You would think the pandemic would be old news by now. Sometimes I wonder if there are other forces keeping it alive and well.

@Sheba
Good Afternoon Sheba and a Happy Thanksgiving Week to you, your husban and Poppy.
How are you doing? I know you are busy.
There is an annoying wind today, sunny and cool.
I am baking three trays of Challah bread , giving one to each neighbor who lives on each side.
I think I am going to make it easy on myself and use either the frozen puff pastry or the phyllo dough I have to make my dessert with apples.
Take care Sheba.

Common Fears

Our minds are powerful, and moving into fear is a common experience that we can each look at and change.

Everyone has fears — it is a natural part of being human. Fear can protect us from harm by sending a rush of adrenaline to help us physically deal with potential danger. But there are times when fear may keep us from participating fully in life. Once we realize that fear is a state of mind, we can choose to face our fears, change our minds, and create the life we want to live.

Our minds are powerful tools to be used by our higher selves; like computers, storing and using data to make certain connections between thought and response. We have the ability to observe these and choose differently. No matter where the fear came from, we can create new connections by choosing new thoughts. When our souls and minds are in alignment, we create a new experience of reality. This journey requires many small steps, as well as patience and courage through the process. Here’s an example: You decide to overcome your fear of driving on the freeway. Your plan of action starts with examining your thoughts and finding a new way of seeing the situation. When you’re ready, you enlist a calm companion to support you as you take the first step of merging into the slow lane and using the first exit. Your heart may be racing, but your confidence will be boosted by the accomplishment. Repeat this until you are comfortable, with or without help, and then drive one exit further. When you are ready, you can try driving in the middle lane, for longer periods each time, until you find yourself going where you want to go. This gradual process is similar for conquering any fear, but if you find it overwhelming, you can always seek the help of a professional.

You may think that you are the only one with a particular fear, that nobody else could possibly be scared of ordinary things such as water, heights, public speaking, or flying. These types of fears are very common, and you can have great success overcoming them. Remember, it is not the absence of the fear but the courage to take action anyway that determines success. When we learn to face our fears, we learn to observe our thoughts and feelings but not be ruled by them. Instead we choose how to shape the lives we want. AMEN! ✨✨😎
