Sheba, right now the sun is out. Don’t know for how long. I was ready to walk this morning since it was dry and by the time I got to the car it was raining. I might try again soon.
My son isn’t feeling well now. It’s mild. He said its not Covid.
How is your daughter doing? I hope she is feeling better.
Love all these jewelry shows!
Great timing since most of us are indoors with the weather.
oh, regarding the sugar. My son mentioned drinking a lot of orange soda in Spain, and I said oh no, too much sugar and he said it was about 3/4 less than in the US. He watches his diet and knows about nutrition. He is much better at it than I was at his age.

Oodie, glad hubs is doing well. We have rain, sometimes more and sometimes less, but the worst of the storm is farther South or North. The roof seems to be holding up. Hubs is happy.

Hi and a good afternoon. Getting ready to get out of work clothes and into something for shopping. Will be visiting the dollar and a quarter store and Costco. Car needs gas. Funny, I just checked gas prices between Costco and Sam’s Club. Sam’s is two cents cheaper and though closer, need to shop at Costco. No hotdogs today. I have been told emphatically that I cannot feed hubby anything not even when sitting in his wheelchair. This is all because he choked on the apple that I had cut into bite size pieces and also skinned. No soft foods. Even pureed. No ice cream either. Go figure. All food and fruit will come from the rehab’s kitchen. Hmm…..hubby wanted my salmon salad and I did give him a teaspoon full. He loved it. SSSh……don’t tell anyone. Initially, I will wait another week or so before asking.

Hubby has been asking for a radio. What I have here are a boombox and one that plays not only cds and but also has FM and AM stations. These are too large and too difficult to transport. I searched and found a Panasonic that can be easily transported and plays both stations. The ratings were through the roof. So for Valentine’s Day I will wrap this and bring it in my two handled nylon carrier which I use for groceries. For some additional info, these come in all colors which include animal prints, other prints and solids. They come 10 or 12 in a package. These can be washed and dried in your washers and dryers and they come out like brand new. It can carry up to 50lbs. On second thought. May bring it with me over the weekend. He enjoys the classics and talk stations. Just hope the sound is good where he is.

Well’ I am now going to leave you. Hope your day is full with sunshine and the temps are bearable. I can just picture Poppy running in the backyard and having a great time. I think your furry friends may be afraid of Poppy and that’s why you haven’t been able to bring them inside. Poppy’s bark may be enough to scare them, but if the tail is wagging, he is looking for a good time.

Releasing Negativity

Having a pity party for yourself is alright as long as you learn from it and don’t dwell in it for long periods of time.

We all have days when the bad things seem to outweigh the good ones and we begin to think that life isn’t fair. You get stuck in traffic, which makes you late for an important meeting, and then your car gets towed. You might ask yourself, “Why me?” Events like this one can test anyone’s ability to be grateful and feel optimistic. If you have a tendency to feel sorry for yourself, and many of us do, things usually progress to the next stage: the pity party. You begin to feel like the innocent victim of a dismal fate because you are seeing your life through inaccurate lenses. Most of the thoughts that run through your mind at times like these are not helpful, and they mainly serve to increase your indignation and feelings of powerlessness. What these feelings and thoughts don’t do is change your circumstances or make you feel better.

When you have a terrible day, there should definitely be a time and place to have your feelings so you can process them. It’s important not to pretend that you are fine with things when you aren’t. It’s also important, however, to notice when you’re having a pity party. It’s a good idea to set a time limit in which to fully express your emotions and not feel guilty, ashamed, or judge yourself. Having a friend witness you during this process can be helpful. You may also want to write about your feelings. When your time is up, let go of the negativity you just expressed. You can declare your intention to your friend. If you’ve written down your feelings, you can burn the piece of paper or throw it in the recycling bin.

Try not to dwell on unpleasant experiences and do everything you can to avoid holding on to negative emotions. When you indulge in self-pity, you only make a bad day worse. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, release the notion that you are a victim, and notice the good that exists in your life. AMEN! 😎🎈

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈I am glad you had some rain. Oz had plenty
of it for days. I saw the national news and California got hit bad. I’ve never seen this kind
of damage in S. California. I am check on my niece who lives in S. California and so far so
good.

I do have plenty of relatives in N. California and so far they are fine too. I think almost
every State has been hit with some type weather issue. Shizzle!

Oodie glad to hear your husband is doing so much better. 🎈😎 I think you have a lot of
energy running back and forth and doing cleaning until 3:00 a.m. wow that is a lot.

Good day in sunny Florida. 😎🎈Wishing you and hubby a very nice Tuesday.
As I always say OZ has the sun. LOL! Still we are on the chilly side.

How is your niece doing? Our daughter is slowly but most certainly getting better.
I think her strain of Covid was different then hubby and I. Our child is young and in
good shape she is working from home and have her cat for company. 😘😎

I am going for a long walk today if it warms up a bit. I need to clear my head I have a lot
going on in life. I thank god for my health.
