Club Sheba

@Sheba
Good Afternoon Sheba, How are you doing? Winter has arrived here. Last night we were at 37 degrees. We had high winds, we also had some rain. At around 10PM I made some cookies just enough for me. After that, I starting getting cold, but it was not cold in the house. No matter what I did not helped the cold was coming from inside my body. I made me some Anise seed tea, that helped somewhat. However, my side of the bed had four blankets 😬😱
The temperature today didn’t go over 56 and tonight will be 47 I know, that’s nothing comparing to where you are at. I think my blood got thinner in the three years I have been down from Jacksonville. 😁
Sheba to way you make your sweet potatoes dessert with all those delicious ingredients, wow! Made my mouth water, I can just imagine how delicious your sweet potato pie is.
Stay warm and safe Sheba. Take care.

Wow, what a game last night. Patrick and the team had everything in the book and then some. I don’t normally watch a whole football game but he was exciting so I did watch it all. Happy for them.😊👍

We got our 7-8 inches of snow, I hope that’s it for a while since our temps will remain cold so no melt off. Snow blowers were rolling this morning. My Jake would have hated this. Is it spring yet?🙄🌻🌼

One more late hockey game tonight and then back in the ‘burgh for our game on Thursday. Stay warm by the fire with hubby and Poppy.🔥💗☕

Finding Time for You

We can excel easier in our lives when our own spiritual, physical, and intellectual needs are fulfilled.

Within each of us, there is a well of energy that must be regularly replenished. When we act as if this well is bottomless, scheduling a long list of activities that fit like puzzle pieces into every minute of every day, it becomes depleted and we feel exhausted, disconnected, and weak. Refilling this well is a matter of finding time to focus on, nurture, and care for ourselves, or “you time.” Most of us are, at different times throughout the day, a spouse, a friend, a relative, an employee, a parent, or a volunteer, which means that down time, however relaxing in nature, is not necessarily “you time.” Though some people will inevitably look upon “you time” as being selfish, it is actually the polar opposite of selfishness. We can only excel where our outer world affairs are concerned when our own spiritual, physical, and intellectual needs are fulfilled.

Recognizing the importance of “you time” is far easier than finding a place for it in an active, multifaceted lifestyle, however. Even if you find a spot for it in your agenda, you may be dismayed to discover that your thoughts continuously stray into worldly territory. To make the most of “you time,” give yourself enough time on either side of the block of time you plan to spend on yourself to ensure that you do not feel rushed. Consider how you would like to pass the time, forgetting for the moment your obligations and embracing the notion of renewal. You may discover that you are energized by creative pursuits, guided meditation, relaxing activities during which your mind can wander, or modes of expression such as writing.

Even if you have achieved a functioning work-life balance, you may still be neglecting the most important part of that equation: you. “You time” prepares you for the next round of daily life, whether you are poised to immerse yourself in a professional project or chores around the home. It also affords you a unique opportunity to learn about yourself, your needs, and your tolerances in a concrete way. As unimportant as “you time” can sometimes seem, it truly is crucial to your well-being because it ensures that you are never left without the energy to give of yourself. Amen! ✨✨

@kittengirl,

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. ✨😜😘OMG! What a game last night. Go Patrick!
Patrick’s mother had an escort to get her to the game due to the weather I am so glad
she made it..

I am sorry we beat your team we are the Cinderella Team in NFL. I don’t talk about the
team too much as I do not want to jinx anything and it’s not over yet.

OZ has sun today and I will take it. 😜😎My arm feels better like nothing happened I almost
forgot I had a booster this weekend.

Stay warm and safe today this is for you and hubby. 😘✨
