Embrace It ~ Celebrate EVERY Moment

Page 331 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I hope it is a fantabulous day for all of you. May good health and happiness greet you this day...Today is the first official day of my 50th trip around the sun. BLOWS MY MIND!!! 

Truthfully, I never thought I would live past 45. It was a "feeling" I had my entire life; and while I was clinically dead a month before my 45th birthday, I guess in a sense it DID come to fruition. 

Surpisingly, I am here to talk about it... The Universe does work in mysterious ways, let me tell ya.

I spent the day rather quiet yesterday; which is something I like. I spent part of the day with my sister and "Ma". Had a cuppa tea, our usual daily routine, then I mosied on to see a couple of friends, who although had come into my life fairly recently, but feel like ol familiar souls. I spent the evening with them, and ofcourse I ended the night, the way I started it... talking to beloved for hours :). See, I like simple things... peaceful things... I don't need extravagant. I don't need gifts. I thoroughly enjoy knowing with all my heart that I am loved... people's presence in my live are gifts enough!!!

With that, I thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday. It was, indeed, a happy one. I know a lot of people do not like acknowledging their birthday, or hate how old they are getting... I am NOT one of those. I LOVE GETTING OLDER. Odd??? Maybe!!! I celebrate every trip around the sun because whether there were major ot minor hardships, we conquered and trekked onwards. Albeit some of those moments may have been on our knees, crawling with any strength we had left... we made it! 

You are a warrior. You deserve goodness in your life. You deserve love. Just remind yourself that life hits like a bitch; but you have the heart of a WARRIOR... all our scars are evidence of that. Onwards and upwards... always remember, you are not alone. 

Stay Safe. Stay warm/cool. Be well. Be blessed. Most of all, Be loved.

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

Tis the Season.... Why I Am Proud of Local Tattoo Shop!!!

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
