Hi in Oz. Very exciting match last night, thrilled she won.😀 Hope she doesn’t get too tired out playing doubles tonight.

Mom is old school and needs to see the color/fabric and sit on it to see if it is firm/comfy, etc. I order her many simple household items online but not major furniture. And it saves me from have to send something large back. Six of one, half a dozen of another.😕

The story of Charlie is so touching, keep us current how he is doing.🐈🥰

The ‘burgh is hopping tonight – backyard brawl with college football, rib fest, soul food festival and Michael Buble’ concert. Beautiful day/night for it all.🌞👍😊

Travel Sensitivity

Ground yourself by honoring the rituals that are a part of your daily life, and you can alleviate the unease you experience while away from home.

The journeys we take are often as exhausting as they are exhilarating. The thrill we feel as we travel to a new environment may be undercut by our sensitivity to change, strange surroundings, and forced shifts in our usual habits. Air, road, and sea travel can be extremely taxing, and many people find sleeping soundly in a strange bed difficult. There are, however, numerous ways to take the stress out of both short voyages and lengthy sojourns. Since much of the comfort we feel in our day-to-day lives stems from the fact that we enjoy the regularity of routine, adapting your typical customs to correspond with your travel schedule can alleviate the unease you experience while away from your home. Likewise, when you ground yourself by honoring the rituals that are a part of your daily life, you’ll no longer feel like you’re out of your element.

If you find yourself disconcerted by the foreignness of your surroundings when traveling, packing a few reassuring items from your home in your luggage can help you stay balanced. Photographs of loved ones, a favorite tea or snack, soft slippers, or even your own pillow can soothe the rigors associated with travel by plane, car, train, and ship while en route. Holding a crystal, gemstone, talisman, or medicine bag in your hand during particularly stressful periods of travel can help you stay relaxed and alert. Items imbued with healing or calming energy can help you destress once you reach your destination. As you unpack your travel items, light a stick of sweet-smelling incense or bask in the glow of a meditation candle. You’ll gradually begin to feel more grounded and serene in your new location.

During the course of your journey, try not to forget to indulge in those activities that center you and sustain your emotional equilibrium. If you tend to sleep and wake at the same time each day, maintaining that schedule will ensure you stay strong and healthy. Taking time out of your travel agenda to write in a journal, meditate, do yoga, or walk can help you reconnect with yourself in an alien setting. However you restore your tranquility, your conscious choice to surround yourself with comforting possessions and focus on your well-being will make traveling a joy. Amen! ✨✨

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California I am praying for you and your family.
Kitten I know the pain never goes away from losing a son my heart goes
out to you. 🌹✨

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the beautiful ‘burgh. 😘✨🌹😎I hope this first day of September finds
you doing well. Lady I wish your mother could look online first than go to the store and see
if that is what she likes. There is a lot of walking in those huge furniture stores. I live near
not far from Nebraska Furniture Store and it is huge. I go online pick out what I want and I
have them delivery it to my home. ✨😎

I have done this since Covid and a lot of stores were not open to the public. I can go in now
but I look on line first and mask up. 😜😎

I hope your BIL continues to get better and I am so glad he had his grandchildren over for
his birthday. ✨🌹

Will be watching the next US Open Tennis it’s not over until it’s over. ✨🌹

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and welcome to September. Thinking of you. ✨🌹

Happy Trails To You. ✨🎶🎶

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Coast of Florida. Oodie I read several of your posts from last night. ✨🌹
I feel you have some decisions to make once you have all the facts.

I know you want what is best for your husband. I wish it was simple to just get the procedure
stay a day or two and come home. This is the real world and never is simple anymore.

I am saying a prayer for both you and hubby when all goes well you will be going back to the
North. ✨🌹Let us know what you found out if you are looking at another facility for rehab.
Oodie I wish you all the luck in the world and soon this all will be over.

Charlie did visit me again today I so enjoyed his visit. ✨😘🌹

I hope this will be a good September for you and hubby. 😜😎🌹

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida. ✨🌹Guess what? I opened my front door this morning
and there was Charlie. 🌹😘I know he is trying to say goodbye in his own way. I had
water and food out for the other cat that visits me and Charlie was eating very well.

Our four children always brought animals home so I guess that is where I love to look
after animals. Honest each child would bring home pets and I looked after them for years. 😎🌹
A strange thing happened the kids wanted to bring kids home to stay and I gently said ah no.

Moving on how are you and hubby today? I am so pleased with his progress. I know you
had a big hand in that. 😘😎✨Keep loving him and keep doing what you do for him.
Soon he will be on his feet in no time.🌹✨I know you are busy I think we all are.

Well Fall is almost here in OZ I am looking forward to it. 😎😜

Here is to a great first day of September. 😘🌹

@defg,
