Good Morning Peeps have fun here in our wonderful community. 🎈😎
Stay safe and make Thursday a great day.

@loaf,

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! The kid should still be in grade school time is passing too fast. 😎

HI Sheba. Thanks for the great cupcakes. The grandkids are great and getting so big. The youngest love football. He is going to the OHIO STATE GAME THIS weekend.

Peace out Peeps have a safe evening. ✨✨

Hi Oodie, I hope you were able to get some well deserved rest. How is your hubby coming along? I read about his good appetite, that’s a good sign.
And it sounds you are getting things done at home, things are coming together ❤️.
Soon your home will be complete and you will have more time to enjoy.

Take good care of yourself Oodie ❤️🌺❤️🌺❤️🌺

Hello and WOW. I wasn’t aware you had gone through such an ordeal. I started reading and following your thread after I couldn’t get any news from Oodiebom when she last went North and had to stay in Georgia with her hubby in rehab.
You certainly have been through so much Sheba, my heart goes out for you.

All the food I had in the freezer prior to my fall is gone, with the exception of a little tomato sauce and some chicken broth.
So hubby is becoming quite a cook for me and the way I eat😊.

Take care Sheba and stay warm. ❤️

Hi in Oz. Seems like we’ve been having a lot of fattening national days lately, dessert, pasta, chocolate cupcakes, yikes!🍰🍝🧁 Guess we need a national vegetable or salad day after all that, lol!🥦🥗

Ran some errands this morning, hubs ran to Sam’s so we are stocked for a little while. Still working on leaves and still have a lot to fall.🍂🍁 One job that seems to take forever.

I’ll be watching the game tonight.🏒 First live game for us next week. Mom Friday coming up. Hope you are feeling back to normal. Warm hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

You Never Know Until You Try

It is often said that at the end of our lives, we are more likely to regret the things we did not do than the things we did.

When contemplating whether to do something or not, a plucky voice in our heads may say, “You never know until you try.” This is time-honored wisdom that encourages us to be game rather than to hold back. It reminds us that it is only through experience that we learn about this world and ourselves. Even if we regret the outcome, we have learned something, and the newfound knowledge is almost always worth it.

This wisdom can be applied to situations both large and small. From crossing the Atlantic on a boat to trying Ethiopian food, there’s only one way to find out what it’s like. We have all had experiences where we tried something we didn’t think we’d like and fell in love. We may have found ourselves stuck with nothing to read but a “boring” book, only to kick-start a lifelong passion for Victorian literature. We may have decided that sailing was not for us until we fell in love with someone with a boat. On the other hand, we may try tofu only to learn that it is truly not for us. In this case, we gain greater self-knowledge from the experience. And yet, we might still remain open to trying it prepared in a different way. The right marinade might make you a convert — you’ll never know if you don’t try it.

It is often said that at the end of our lives we are more likely to regret the things we did not do than the things we did. As an exercise to test your own willingness to discover through doing, try making a list of things you regret not having done. You may begin to notice patterns such as a failure to say what you really think at key moments or closed-mindedness to certain types of activities. Just being aware of the opportunities you missed might encourage you not to miss them again. There’s only one way to find out. AMEN! 😎🎈
