Conversation – 18

Sheba, I did a practice run yesterday and then today started all over and did exactly what you said to do. I found something yesterday at CVS that was a blury cream for under the eyes. Then concealer, foundation, more blurry cream and so on but it’s done and over. I recently purchased some deep brown mascara and a Nars lipstick that is sheer. with some light color (glossy). My foundation is lighter, Lancome so it wasn’t too heavy. I wish I had your makeup skills. Ever think about doing u tube video’s on make up and your Heidi? You would do well. Thanks for the great tips.

Hope your cousin is doing ok. It must be so hard for her and family.

Oodie, so happy your husband is doing so well. Great news.

@shoelady60,

Just enjoy! ✨✨Keep warm.

@oodiebom,

I understand your frustration I would keep some candy bars in the house and if you go
back to Costco they have sugar pills in the Pharmacy Department that you can buy and eat
two and give it a minute to get into the system but of course I would discuss this with his
doctors. Oodie does your husband have an Endocrinologist? Very important if he has one.

Please rest looks like things are coming together. ✨✨

Enjoy some warm tea with Manuka Honey and get your voice back. 🌹🌹

@xango,

I am getting on my broomstick and flying to warm Florida. ✨😎Oz is 9 degrees
as I type this.

I want some of your meal and like Greta Garbo said in a movie don’t be stingy baby. LOL!
I don’t eat much only when I have to. ✨✨

Can You Read My Mind (Love Theme from “Superman”)
Maureen McGovern

Can you read my mind?
Do you know what it is you do to me?
Don’t know who you are,
Just a friend from another star
Here I am like a kid at a school
Holding hands with a god, I’m a fool
Will you look at me quivering
Like a little girl shivering?
You can see right through me
Can you read my mind?
Can you picture the things I’m thinking of?
Wondering why you are
All the wonderful things you are
You can fly, you belong to the sky
You and I could belong to each other
If you need a friend,
I’m the one to fly to
If you need to be loved, (to be loved)
Here I am, read my mind!
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Will you look at me quivering
Like a little girl shivering?
You can see right through me
If you need a friend,
I’m the one to fly to
If you need to be loved,
Here I am, read my mind!
Read my mind!

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening. ✨✨

Hello Sheba, how’s it going today?
We are at 83 degrees, I wish I could send some warmth your way.
I love this type of Winter here, it’s warm and no humidity. I wish it was like this in the Summer 😀.

The Stew sounds delicious. I am not a meatloaf person. I eat ground beef, on accasions only in a meat sauce for pasta.

Today hubby will feast on veggie meatballs and spiral squash pasta. All veggies today.
I will have black beans and rice with oxtail 😁. They cooked perfectly, and yummy. I am also making collard greens sautéed in olive oil and garlic. Rolling in up like a cigar, cutting it very,very thin.

Take care and stay warm Sheba 🌻🌻🌻🌻

I just got off the phone with hubby. He couldn’t understand why I haven’t shown up in the last few days. Now he knows. The nurses gave him a phone and he dialed our number. The guy is really spunky. No one told him how sick I was. That was a good thing. He would have really been worried sick. There was no memory lapse during our conversation. He did not like my new voice, which is more of an alto. I’m hoping that tomorrow I will be able to spend some time with him, but there are no guarantees. I will not make any decisions until tomorrow.

There was no memory gap except how he ended up in the hospital. I told him what happened and of course there is no recollection. What occurred was low sugar and not having what he needed in the house. That will never happen again. Finding your hubby on his back with arms and legs going every which way no one should have to go through. He had all the symptoms of low blood sugar and though we had ice cream, it was not enough to bring him around. I therefore contacted 911. Now I need to come up with a nice gift for the ER and nursing staff. Also the security people who drove me to my car. Visiting hours are 7am-7pm,

The nurse who gave hubby the phone could not get over how alert he is and his memory is intact. He may slip up from time to time, but it isn’t enough for me to say anything. We all have some form of memory slipups . Who’s to say . I will be studying one of hubby’s prescripts the next few days and weeks. I am almost positive that it may be the culprit along with back and knee pain. Hubby’s body cannot tolerate the pain. I found that out when he was going through the posts for implants. Not a good thing.

I need to make a trip to the UPS store. Nothing like waiting until the last minute and then you also find out that your printer no longer works.

@oodiebom

Hi Oodie, so glad you are feeling better. Please don’t over do it, as you are getting better. Be careful not to put yourself back into getting worst.
It’s a good thing we are having warm weather.

Great news on your hubby’s eating and having liquids. Soon enough he will be getting better too.
Sending prayers your way for you and your husband.
Take it easy and take care Oodie ❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷

When a Bad Apple Spoils the Bunch

When dealing with negative people, we can choose not to respond to their behavior and allow our positive behavior to be an example.

Because life requires that we interact with different personalities, it is not uncommon for us to encounter a situation where there is one person whose behavior may negatively impact the experiences of others. Someone who is loud and crass can interrupt the serenity of those who come together to practice peace. A disruptive worker can cause rules to be imposed that affect their colleagues’ professional lives. A team member who is pessimistic or highly critical may destroy the morale of their fellow members. And one “bad apple” in your personal life can be a potent distraction that makes it difficult to focus on the blessings you’ve been given and the people who love you.

There may always be people in your life who take it upon themselves to create disruption, foster chaos, stamp out hope, and act as if they are above reproach – even when, in doing so, they put a blight on their own experiences. But you don’t need to allow their negativity and callousness to sour your good mood. Often, our first impulse upon coming head-to-head with a bad apple is to express our anger and frustration in no uncertain terms. However, bad apples only have the power to turn our lives sour if we let them.

If you can exercise patience and choose not to respond to their words or actions, you will significantly limit the effect they are able to have on you and your environment. You can also attempt to encourage a bad apple to change their behavior by letting your good behavior stand as an example. If your bad apple is simply hoping to attract notice, they may come to realize that receiving positive attention is much more satisfying than making a negative impression. While you may be tempted to simply disassociate yourself entirely from a bad apple, consider why they might be inclined to cause disturbances. Understanding their motivation can help you see that bad apples are not necessarily bad people. Though bad apples are a fact of life, minimizing the impact you allow them to have upon you is empowering because you are not letting anyone else affect the quality of your experiences. You may discover that buried at the very heart of a bad apple is a seed of goodness. AMEN! ✨✨
