Conversation – 20

Sheba, Change is a part of life, right? I told that to my hubs after telling him 30 years is a long enough time for my bed. I know he liked it and it was in good shape but it was time. New technology, update materials, all sorts of changes and I am very happy with this change. Maybe the Arcade needs a refreshing. I know you all love the Arcade and game night. It seems like it was a fun run. Hopefully that will continue in its new phase. I am going to try to make it over there tonight.
♥ you feeding the cat! You have a great heart.
Hope your daughter is feeling better today.
Can’t believe it but we have very poor air quality today and a high heat index so I am staying in again. Good thing I have a new book for later.

Hi Sheba, Happy Labor Day weekend. What a lovely Full Moon 🌝 last night and
Hubby also arrived last evening and is off until Tuesday.
Glad your hubby is off and with you for these days too.

Right now I have some sweet potatoes in the oven. Sweet potatoes are good just on their own and no brown sugar 😋. I might just put a pat of butter on mine, but hubby eats his plain.
I already have a roasted chicken, just will place it in the oven to warm up a little. Hubby doesn’t like cold chicken but I do straight from the refrigerator or room temperature 😋.
We had salads for lunch and still have some to add for our dinner menu. I picked some fresh Oregano early in the day. Soaked it in water and a teaspoon of baking soda for 10 minutes. Then dried it and marinated in Olive oil for a salad dressing and or cooking.

Not sure yet what we are considering for Labor Day.

See you in Trivia Tonight. 🌹

Hi Oodie, glad to hear good news from you.
I am glad you stayed in the hotel, and that you had the opportunity to rest. You had been going strong like the Energizer bunny.

Thankfull your home was not touched by the hurricane. And that your husband was not moved, able to stay in the rehab. I am sure your hubby was happy to see you.
It’s always a good sign when your hubby eats all his food. Glad he enjoyed the pizza, fruit and his Mexican style dinner.

Hope to see you in Trivia.
Take care Oodie.

Good afternoon in Oz. The moon was so bright last night that it looked like a light was on outside.🌕 Today is our last perfect day before hot and humid for a week.😣

If all goes as planned, mom and sis should dock tomorrow morning and be back in the ‘burgh by late afternoon, early evening. Sis will be leaving on the 13th and be back near the end of October so I will be running back and forth for six weeks.

Hope you, hubs and Poppy have a long, relaxing weekend. No labor on Labor Day!!🤣

Calling On Friends

When we include our friends in the full story of our life, we build authentic relationships in which we can be who we truly are.

When we are going through a difficult time, we may hesitate to call even our best friends because we don’t want to burden them with our troubles. This can be especially true if we’ve been going through a series of challenges, and we’re starting to feel as if we sound like a broken record. It is important to remember that at times like these our friends sincerely want to be there for us whenever they can. We can always check with them to make sure it’s a good time for them before we start talking, and if it’s not a good time, we can call back at another time, or call another friend.

We know for ourselves that when we have a good friend, we don’t want them to suffer alone when we are just a phone call away. We want them to call us and share their sorrows with us, as well as their joys, because this is what sharing a life through friendship is about. It is at our lowest points that we really need to rely on our friends without worrying that we are a burden. If you are feeling self-conscious about having a tough time, you can bring this fact into the conversation by acknowledging it. Chances are your friend will reassure you that she is happy to be there for you. In fact, rather than feeling taxed, most of us feel better when we have helped a friend simply by listening empathically while they share their feelings.

Without our friends, we would be hard pressed to get through the tough times and celebrate the good ones. If we leave our friends out of our process when the going gets tough, our friendships can begin to feel shallow. On the other hand, when we include our friends in the full story of our life — the good, the bad, and the ugly — we build authentic relationships in which we can be who we truly are. When we do this, we invite our friends to bring their whole selves to the relationship as well. AMEN! ✨✨

@kittengirl,

Good Morning Kitten wishing you a great Labor Day Weekend. ✨🌹

@taci,

Good Morning in S. Cali the moon was so beautiful last night.

I basked in it in our front yard and Poppy and hubby was right there with me.

My little black cat came by to eat and I was happy to fed him. This baby was so
hungry.

Taci I wonder about Kittengirl too if I lost my son or any of our children I would never
be the same. I do pray for her. ✨🌹

New changes are coming to the HSN Community I hope it is all good.

Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

Hey I saw my bunny in another yard and I know where they live now. ✨💕
The moon was full and beautiful last night I slept like a baby. My black cat
came and I was able to give him a good meal I mix some tuna with his catfood
and he ate every bit of it. ✨
