Peace Out Peeps have a safe evening. ✨✨

Spectrum called at 7:45 am to say the tech was on his way. I was still in night clothes and finishing the work in the kitchen I was dressed in less than 10 minutes and he arrived as I was taking the two garbage containers to the curb. He wasn’t due until 11 am. Nice gentleman. I gave him a 5 star
rating per a phone call from Spectrum.

Left for Costco early afternoon. I forgot that some of the schools had spring break this week. I got on to the Interstate without a problem or so I thought. Bumper to bumper traffic just about 2 or 3 blocks ahead that felt like a parking lot. Half an hour later I finally made it to the Exit ramp. I entered the warehouse and was surprise to see so many people in line waiting to cash out. The line wound around the cookie and vitamin sections. I thought today being Thursday there wouldn’t be much of a crowd. I was in the warehouse a good 2 1/2 hours and was surprised that the book section is no longer. I used to enjoy picking up a good novel to read while enjoying the hotdog. And speaking of hotdogs, I did purchase one for hubby that came with a soda and a second one if he so wished. I also brought aluminum foil with me so that it would stay warm and it did. Gas at Costco was $3.09/gal. The stations around us are between $3.27 and $3.49/gal. I did find that Sam'[s Club was $.05 less. And speaking of Hubby, he was coherent today and not sleeping. He was still itchy and I mentioned it to the nurse as I was leaving and also explained that I left my Eczema ointment on the food tray. It’s an over the counter item and does relieve the itching almost immediately. Today I was a happy camper. There was no jaundice coloring anywhere. I am so relieved. Just wish I kniew when that doctor appointment would be.

No real sunset tonight though the sky on the horizon was pink. I actually had daylight all the way home. And also glad that your cousin is making progress and is learning to walk. From this point on, she will probably see more things she can do and start crossing off the list of accomplishments. All I can say is WOW !!!! 😀😀😀

@Sheba

Hello Sheba, I hope the Sun came out and made your day a little better.

it was a little chilly overnight, down to 48, we bounced back. Tonight it will be in the mid fifties.

The doctor appointment went well, they just want to see him once a month and keep monitoring.

Leftovers will be dinner tonight, no cooking needed😊

Lately I received a few items from HSN and I thought I share just a few.
G by Giuliana G-Knit Wide Leg Jumpsuit. 814-137. This jumpsuit is so comfortable I was surprised how much I liked it.
PrepOn Kitchen 100-count Food Prep Bags. 747-187. Found these in clearance, these kitchen bags are worth their price, large, easy to use, just tie them up or used your own way to close them.
Concierge Collection 400TC Pre-Washed Cotton Rich 6-piece Sheet Set
758-515. These sheets are soft, comfortable and are thin, for the Summer it’s a good thing. Since I live in Florida it’s just right for me.
And I also found out by receiving the wrong size, that a California King size sheet set fits a King size bed, LoL. 😆😀😄.

Take care Sheba ❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷

OOPS. Not my day. Ans since we can’t delete things anymore……..😄😄😄 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi Sheba, just got home from nails and late lunch with mom and sis. There is a Chinese restaurant right next door to the nail salon so we always make that a stop.🥡

Beautiful day in the ‘burgh, sunshine and near 60.🌞 Weekend will be back in the 30’s for highs, spring not here yet except for your lovely flowers.🌷

Hope you got everything you needed at Costco. I always end up with more than planned, just too much to look at. Have to start wearing blinders.🕶

Have a relaxing evening after all your shopping. Blowing kisses to you and Poppy.🥰💖

The Danger of Repression

When negative thoughts arise, it is best to address them rather than pushing them down where they will surface again.

For the last several years, there has been a lot of focus on the power of positive thinking. Many people have come to misinterpret this wisdom to mean that it is not okay to have a bad mood or a negative thought or feeling. This can lend a kind of superficiality to their relationship with life and relationships with other people. It can also lead them to feel that if a negative thought or feeling comes up, in themselves or someone else, they must immediately block it out. When they do this, they are engaging in the act of repressing a part of themselves that needs to be seen, heard, and processed.

When we repress parts of ourselves, they don’t go away so much as they get buried deep within us, and they often come out when we least expect it. On the other hand, if we allow ourselves to be fully human, honoring all the thoughts, feelings, and moods that pass through us on a given day, we create a more conscious relationship with ourselves. Instead of blocking out thoughts and feelings that we label as negative, we can simply observe them and then let them go. They only get stuck when we react to them negatively, pushing them down and out of sight where they get lodged in our unconscious minds. A healthier solution might be to develop a practice of following any negative thought we may have with a positive thought. This works well because positive thoughts are many times more powerful than negative thoughts.

Rather than setting our minds up in such a way that we become fearful of the contents of our own consciousness, blocking out anything that is less than 100 percent positive, we might resolve to develop a friendlier attitude toward ourselves, trusting in our inherent goodness. When we recognize our true inner worth, a few dark clouds passing through our minds will not intimidate us. We will see them for what they are—small, dark figures passing through an expansive sky of well-being and truth. AMEN! ✨✨

You have a great Thursday also (: thanks for the beautiful photos and thought (:
