@shoelady60,

Good evening and I am so excited your nieces are doing so well. ✨🌹I know your
husband is looking forward to your nephew playing Golf with him.

I am wishing your mom a great birthday no matter where she spends it. I feel as long
as the family is there and the food is great and the drinks are flowing well a good time
will have by all. 💕😘🌹

I know what you mean by being careful with all the critters showing up it was not
always this way that last full moon brought them all out. I actually had a possum trying
to eat the cats food and a racoon and it’s family was right behind him we have a security
camera and can see everything. Those little critters come around 4:00 a.m.
My husband is a very early riser and sees it all. I only want to take care of the bunnies
and the cats. I don’t know what to do with the other critters I don’t want them hurt.
Poppy barks at them and the move real fast. ✨

I am jumping in the shower before the rain and thunder starts enjoy your evening. ✨

@taci,

I am excited about my niece graduating from high school my brother and his wife are
waiting on her to decide what Colleges she wants to attend. I think the pin will be perfect
for her. ✨😎

This niece is also the Homecoming Queen what can I say it does run in the family.
I expect her to set the world on fire when she is done with her studies. ✨

I so enjoyed Heidi Daus it was more of a feeling that was HSN at it’s best! ✨😎
Heidi looked so beautiful she will be back on HSN in July. ✨🌹

No moon for me tonight we have clouds and rain will start in an hour. Enjoy your evening.

@xango,

I love it when the bunnies comes my bunnies hide under one of my patio tables in the
yard and I put baby carrots out they love it. Hubby will just sit there looking at them and they
will not move. So funny. 😎

Enjoy your evening rain is on the way tonight so I am jumping in the shower before it hits.

Have a nice evening. ✨

@oodiebom,

I told you I think you have great taste that pin did sell out. I am so glad you grabbed it.
I had to be fast on my feet for what I brought and yeah they sold out.

I try to post her new things as soon has HSN uploads so start buying once you can.

Oodie I think you have a nice assortment of pins I remember the bicycle pin you got. 💕

I am so glad they gave your husband something for his pain I bet he can’t wait to come
home. ✨🌹

I hope you are able to rest tonight with a good book or whatever makes you feel good.

Oodie tomorrow is another day. ✨ Goodnight sweet friend.

Peace Out Peeps been a long day enjoy your evening. 💕😘

Sheba, Hello. Took a walk today and a coyote crossed the trail fairly close to me. They seem pretty good about avoiding people. Heard them howling on my way out. Watched the 1st hour of the awesome Heidi Daus and hope she continues her visits at HSN. It’s great to see how to wear the items and hear her talk about all the details.
How exciting to have a niece graduating and going off to College. Congratulations and I’m sure she will love the pin and always remember your when she looks at it. Awesome your nephew is in College as well. I think College is a lot harder now than when I was in it. The competition for some of these schools that used to be full of the locals only is a lot.
The 3 part earrings were so amazing. I am thinking about getting them. Then, the next hard part is picking a color and yah they are selling fast.
Have a great evening. We get the occasional possum in our yard, sometime he/she sleeps here but leaves at 1st light.

Oodie and Sheba, That Strong Horse pin is a standout. Congratulations on nabbing it before it sold out.

Hello Sheba, how was your day?

Those Pastel in your gif/ looks just like mine. Brazil adds diced hard boiled eggs, hearts of Palm, I just like green olives and Italian parsley. Brazil does lots with cheese, also ham and cheese. I don’t like ham, I do love some roast pork but not ham.
Made Creme Caramel today, been wanting to have some in a while.

The large bunny is in the back yard, just sitting there and enjoying the shaded area.
Last night I saw two bunny babies, so cute.

Take care Sheba 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Hi Sheba, gorgeous day in the ‘burgh, bright sunshine🌞and around 70. We will be in the mid 80’s tomorrow and then dropping off again. Crazy, crazy.😵 I just hope we don’t have a wet spring and summer since we got so little snow this year.

Went out today and picked up some new pots with fake ferns for the deck railing. My old ones are bleached out from the sun. I get real flowers🌺🌼 but for some reason the little birdies love to build nests in the ferns. At Home had many nice ones.

Mom said she was tired of Italian and Chinese food but still hasn’t decided where she wants to go. I could eat Italian every day and sis could eat Chinese every day. There is a very nice restaurant close to her that has steak, veal, seafood, chicken, etc., so maybe she will pick that.

Thanks for the shoutout for my niece. The younger one won her basketball tourney so it was a good weekend for all.👍 Nephew coming down in a couple weeks to golf with my husband.

Enjoy your day and evening. Sounds like your yard is becoming a zoo, be careful.🐈🐇🦨🦔 Hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Moving In Real Time

You may want to press the fast-forward button through your pain, but in doing so you would miss out on important learning.

We all go through times when we wish we could press a fast-forward button and propel ourselves into the future and out of our current circumstances. Whether the situation we are facing is minor, or major such as the loss of a loved one, it is human nature to want to move away from pain and find comfort as soon as possible. Yet we all know deep down that we need to work through these experiences in a conscious fashion rather than bury our heads in the sand, because these are the times when we access important information about ourselves and life. The learning process may not be easy, but it is full of lessons that bring us wisdom we cannot find any other way.

The desire to press fast-forward can lead to escapism and denial, both of which only prolong our difficulties and in some cases make them worse. The more direct, clear, and courageous we are in the face of whatever we are dealing with, the more quickly we will move through the situation. Understanding this, we may begin to realize that trying to find the fast-forward button is really more akin to pressing pause. When we truly grasp that the only way out of any situation in which we find ourselves is to go through it, we stop looking for ways to escape and we start paying close attention to what is happening. We realize that we are exactly where we need to be. We remember that we are in this situation in order to learn something we need to know, and we can alleviate some of our pain with the awareness that there is a purpose to our suffering.

When you feel the urge to press the fast-forward button, remember that you are not alone; we all instinctively avoid pain. But in doing so, we often prolong our pain and delay important learning. As you choose to move forward in real time, know that in the long run, this is the least painful way to go. AMEN! ✨✨

@kittengirl,

Kitten here is to Life! Miss ya. ✨🌹

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. Lady have your mother decided what Restaurant she wants
to go to on her birthday? I know a good time will be had by all. 💕🌹✨

Oz is cloudy today with a lot of rain on the way tonight and tomorrow. I am alright with that. 💕

Hey have fun making plans for your mother and I hope your niece is still leading the Golf
Pack. 🌹

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and may this be a great day for a hike. 😘😎🌹

I am going to watch Heidi and Adam today I miss her laughter and the Presentation. 😎✨

There are a lot of lovely pieces I do have my eye on several. My 17 year old niece will graduate
next month and I am thinking of the Pin for Graduation. I am anxious to see which College
she will attend. 🌹My nephew her brother graduated last year and is attending the University
of Colorado Boulder so he is still in the area but she plans to go out of State. This kid has
a head on her shoulders. 😘💕

Happy Trails to you. 🎶🎶😎
