Surprise, surprise, we had thunder. We had lightning. And then finally, some much needed rain. The storm rolled in just before 8 pm and lasted a good hour and a half. Of course not all of it was rain. A very g99d lightning show.

Last night we had fireaorks. Came at you from all angles. Some fizzled, others were gorgeous. They all started around 8:30 pm and went until 10:30 pm.

Tomorrow will be a work day with a breather in the afternoon. Need to order a prescript and then pick it up. Since Aldi’s is across the street, will make a brief stop.

Have not heard from the surgeon. I’m not concerned at this point since this is a holiday week and many may have gone on vacation. I just hope we can get another date and if not, maybe we can head North.

News isn’t good so staying away from the TV. (we have one in the den). So sad what is happening around the country. There is no safe place anymore. I hope Shoe’ady’s sister is OK and having a great time regardless.

@xango,

Enjoy your goodies I would not send it back either. ✨😘

Peace Out Peeps! Please stay safe. ✨😎

Good afternoon Sheba, staying cool? We are in the mid-nineties and high humidity, feels like 98. I can’t stay more than 10 minutes outside.

We had a nice day yesterday, saw the celebrations on TV from all over the country. And from the TV room window I saw fireworks from my neighbors across the street it was beautiful.

My heart goes out to the people in Highland Park. It’s a shame this country is the way it is with so many shootings.

Today I received the ceramic pots from HSN and the garden tools. It came very well packed and they are very pretty. Also the readers, unfortunately they are a bit bigger than my face. They keep sliding down my face, I will have to get used to it because I am not sending them back. 😁

Take Care Sheba 🌻🌻🌻

How to Get Through a Bad Day

When you find yourself in a pity party, the quickest way out is to acknowledge how you feel and then let it go.

We all have days when the bad things seem to outweigh the good ones and we begin to think that life isn’t fair. You get stuck in traffic, which makes you late for an important meeting, and then your car gets towed. You might ask yourself, “Why me?” Events like this one can test anyone’s ability to be grateful and feel optimistic. If you have a tendency to feel sorry for yourself, and many of us do, things usually progress to the next stage: the pity party. You begin to feel like the innocent victim of a dismal fate because you are seeing your life through inaccurate lenses. Most of the thoughts that run through your mind at times like these are not helpful, and they mainly serve to increase your indignation and feelings of powerlessness. What these feelings and thoughts don’t do is change your circumstances or make you feel better.

When you have a terrible day, there should definitely be a time and place to have your feelings so you can process them. It’s important not to pretend that you are fine with things when you aren’t. It’s also important, however, to notice when you’re having a pity party. It’s a good idea to set a time limit in which to fully express your emotions and not feel guilty, ashamed, or judge yourself. Having a friend witness you during this process can be helpful. You may also want to write about your feelings. When your time is up, let go of the negativity you just expressed. You can declare your intention to your friend. If you’ve written down your feelings, you can burn the piece of paper or throw it in the recycling bin.

Try not to dwell on unpleasant experiences and do everything you can to avoid holding on to negative emotions. When you indulge in self-pity, you only make a bad day worse. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, release the notion that you are a victim, and notice the good that exists in your life. AMEN! ✨✨
