Are you OK? I see by the telly that your area had quite a few storms the last few days. Wondering if your electrical or wifi got knocked out. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that you are missed.
Hubby has an appointment with the surgeon tomorrow. Hopefully, surgery can be scheduled unless he wants to postpone to see how he does health wise. Take care of yourself and stay hydrated.

Club Sheba Summerland Edition. ✨

Love the sailboats. Very relaxing. I sometimes think of my college days when my dorm room faced the Esplanade and the Charles River. Sometimes in the afternoon and early evening I would sit near the window and watch the sailboats pass by. And one summer, I took extra courses when I decided to change my major and had an opportunity to open the window and listen to the Boston Pops.

Well, yesterday I made additional progress. Decided to do the Master Bathroom which also included going through the towels, etc. and really giving that area a thorough going over. The beach theme works well here. The bathroom is done. But in doing so knocked my back out, the shoulders and thighs. Cannot begin to tell you the pain I was in. Took today off. But when I look at what I accomplish before the exterminator arrived, it’s amazing. The tiled floors never looked so good. Still have a few more things to do and that area will be done.

I was wet behind the noodle. Hubby’s appointment with the orthopedist is tomorrow. Thank goodness they phoned and also followed up with an e-maii..

I hope xango is OK. Haven’t seen a post since Trivia.

Really hot here also. Unfortunately, the A/C is turned off around 10 AM and lasts that way until 5pm or so unless, of course, the heat is really unbearable earlier.

By the way, the air purifier is a dream come true. Sinuses are better, the coughing also. Best of all, no headaches. Then again, it could also be because the pollen count is lower.

Hope you have a nice evening. We had a brief shower. No thunder or lightning. Hopefully, there will be more of the same tomorrow.

Hi Sheba, right now in the middle of preparing a chicken/mushroom dish for dinner.🍗🍄 Since we are going out Friday and having drinks and snacks, I figured I better eat lean until my pig out day. I will be ordering fried pickles at the restaurant, love them!🥒

Weather not too bad today, humidity lower and a nice breeze. I am like you with the A/C, turn it on and forget about it. I do not want to be uncomfortable in my own home, I can go outside for that.😣 Tell Mr. Poppy to lay low in that fur coat of his – blowing kisses back your way.😘

Moving Forward vs Running Away

Are you running away from your problems or moving towards something greater?

There are times when change — moving to a new city or a new home, or changing careers — is the right thing at the right time. But there are also times when the urge for change is really just a desire to run away from problems that need to be faced rather than avoided. These are the kinds of problems that recur in our lives. For example, issues with coworkers that seem to arise at every job we take, or repeatedly getting into unhealthy relationships. A move might temporarily distract us, and even cure the problem for a time, simply by taking us out of the situation in which the problem fully manifested itself. However, the problem will eventually appear again in our new situation.

One way to make sure you aren’t running away from your problems is to notice whether you are moving towards something that is exciting in its own right, as opposed to something that is appealing only because it is not where you are now. For example, if you are leaving a city because you feel you can’t afford it, you could be reinforcing poverty consciousness, and you might find that you are unable to make ends meet in your new city as well. It would ultimately be less of an effort to stay where you are and look more deeply into your beliefs about money. You may discover that as you address these issues, you are able to make more money simply by changing your mindset. You may still decide to move, but it will be an act with a positive intention behind it and not an escape, which could make all the difference.

Any pain involved in facing our issues is well worth the effort in the end. When we face our problems instead of avoiding them, we free our energy and transform ourselves from people who run away into people who move enthusiastically forward. AMEN! ✨✨😎
