Oodie, thinking of you and your hubs test tomorrow.

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening.

RIP sweet lady.

@shoelady60

Thank you for your post and taking some time for me. I do hope all goes well. Actually, I am hoping that they will be able to do the testing. I am sure the itches are just about over and done with, but the whelps will still be there. Knowing the hospital staff, they may be reluctant to do anything and so will cancel. I would be surprised if everything goes as it should. Thank you for being there through thick and thin. I will post to let everyone know. One step at a time. Most of all looking forward to having breakfast with hubby. Always nice to have something to look forward to. Have a great day and hope your team wins BIG…..

I second whatever shoelady60 said>…….Look what dreams are made of. WOW

Since it’s the time for thanks, thank you for the beautiful wishes and sentiment.🥰 Right back at you, my friend, not just this week but everyday.

It is chilly but at least the sun is out.🥶🌞 Made some deviled eggs this morning since its been awhile. Better snack than the bag of chips. No cooking for dinner since I have pot roast leftovers.

Tomorrow’s game will be interesting. I read that Taylor cancelled her concert yesterday because of the weather and death of the fan and rescheduled for Monday. So I guess she won’t be at the game; not sure what’s happening with her parents.🙄 Regardless, I will be watching. It should be a good one!

Hope you’re having a relaxing Sunday. Busy week ahead. Hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

WOW!!!!

@oodiebom

I want to wish your husband and you good luck with all his testing tomorrow in preparation for next week.🤞 I will be thinking of you all day and, of course, saying prayers.🙏 Hang in there, friend.😊

I do know how you feel. Some people rush to make judgments when they do not know who you are or who you represent. This also spills over to the show hosts and the models. So, you are not alone. I have the same feeling with family. I wish we were all close knit as yours is, but, unfortunately will go on deaf ears. My family is quick to judge based on who your parents are. In my case my dad was a pharmacist. Not a lawyer or a doctor. Nor was he wealthy. But what he had was more. He was altruistic. Kind hearted. Always smiled even when things weren’t going his way. And the way I see it, it’s there loss. Not yours. Oops, I didn’t think people worked on Sunday. I’ll be back shortly.

I thought I was hearing mice trying to get through our vents. Instead, the vent people are back repairing our A/C. I just asked him to help me with the bottom shelf of the frig. You need to take the glass a part for thorough cleansing. The Clean Boss worked wonders. No scratch marks. The frig looks just like the day it was brought in. Too bad I could not locate the manual or find the info on line right away. Guess that’s how things go sometimes.

Last night I was too tired to cook, so I ordered pizza delivery. Turned out I received two pizzas and a salad. Had to make a phone call and the extras are mine at no extra charge. Guess the person who also ordered out didn’t get theirs’. Hubby will have a feast later.

Hubby’s appointment is for 7:30 am tomorrow. At 8 am the phone rang as a reminder for that appointment. Woke me out of a sound sleep thinking it was the Rehab. I will notify them tomorrow to contact Rehab for the time to arrive next Monday for the surgery. I will have my cell and Kindle with me and will let you know how things go. Just so thankful how everyone has has my back during this difficult time.

Hubby does have scabies. I was afraid of this. Two weeks ago when this started again I was told it wasn’t Scabies, but part of the last episode. Hmm….As things became worse during last week, I started speaking up. Friday they started on some cream that went all over his body. Yesterday morning he had a shower and his bed was supposed to be made with new linen. I also asked that the mattress be vacuumed. I have no idea if they followed through. I will do this today when I am there. I also have a bug spray that not only kills the bugs but also the eggs. I have a feeling that the surgery may be cancelled if any of the nurses see the bites on his back and front even though they will be gone by then. But, it’s going through the testing and if that can’t be done…….oh well.

Just continue to be who you are and though people will say things to hurt you, let it be. Guess they have nothing better to do than to judge and pass a verdict without knowing the person. It’s difficult, but let it go in one ear and out the other. I’ve been doing this for years and yes, it hurts. A lot. But I try not to show it. They are the ones who are missing out. On that note, have a great day and a wonderful Thanksgiving week. Your upcoming doctor events I know you will pass with flying colors. But, unfortunately, we all have to wait and see and go through the variuos tests and exams before we can breathe a final relief. Losing friends and family during the season is very heartbreaking. More so during this time. Thankfully, you are not alone, but you still feel the heartbreak. Just take a deep breath.,Remember the good times. Contact your nieces and nephews and let them know they are not alone.Call your stepmom. At Thanksgiving put a chair at the table for those you lost. It will give you a feeling of their presence knowing that they are with you. I have done this and in someways it is so very helpful.

The Ego

The ego is simply a way for us to understand and attend to ourselves, at the same time as we understand and attend to the world around us.

In most spiritual circles, the ego gets a pretty bad rap. The reason for this is that the ego, to some extent, is the principle in our psyches that separates us from one another, while spirit is the principle that shows us that no such separation exists. Sometimes the ego is depicted as an almost demonic figure that keeps us from realizing our true nature. But at its most basic, the ego is simply a tool that helps us organize the various aspects of our personality so that we can function in the world. In this sense, the ego is simply a way for us to understand and attend to ourselves at the same time as we understand and attend to the world around us. The ego is a tool that we use to navigate the world.

Perhaps the problem is that the ego sometimes gets out of control. This happens when the higher self loses control of the psyche. The psyche then falls under the leadership of the ego, an entity that was never meant to lead. The ego is meant to be definitively in the service of the higher self. When this relationship is functioning, the ego is a useful intermediary representing the whole self but not thinking that it is the whole self. Then, it is almost as if the ego is the self playfully pretending to be the separate entity called “I.” Like an actor, the ego plays the roles that the world asks us to play in order to be part of the program. In this way, the ego can be a tool enabling us to be in the world but not of it.

As long as we are in touch with our higher selves, our egos are not a threat. They are simply useful tools in the service of spirit. We keep our egos in check when we continually nurture our awareness of who we really are. Then our egos are free to serve without trying ineffectually to rule. It is healthy to have ego, but like all things in life, ego functions best when it is in balance and harmony with your whole self. Amen! 🎈😎

Here is something else I really like. 💕😎

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. Oh how sweet to post last night. I appreciate you understanding
me. I am not trying to make a mole into a mountain so to speak so I will leave it at that.

I do work hard on this thread Taci each and every day I’ve always said most people like to
look and of course some are curious. 😎 We are both Leos so we can read each other. LOL!

Taci I am sorry you still a little bit under the weather. I think the hike was great for you.

I post pics of things that make me and hopefully others feel good and brings a smile to
the faces. 😉 December will be a whirlwind I will be coming and going with medical visits.

Wishing you and your family good health and a great Thanksgiving. 😘💕

Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶🎈
