Hello My Dear Darling Friends!
This week I felt like a ball of uncontrollable emotions or maybe even a waterfall. The beginning of the week was chaotic and painful because I thought that my kitten Puffleton was dying. He was fading so quickly and even the vet was unsure of how to help him. I am glad that we brought him in when we did. I was so sad when we got home and he still would not eat. That evening I prayed with him and as we filled his bowl with yummy food we sang him the breakfast rhyme that I made up in Arizona with my other cats Alleyjandra and Carl. It felt like a combination of an answered prayer and a miracle when he started eating.
Now a week later, he appears to be back to normal and is livelier than ever! I am hoping that maybe he was just a little sick and is better now. Even if he is ill, I want to do everything I can to make his time on this earth as enjoyable as possible. I am just so thankful that he was able to recover because he stopped eating for 3 days and I could see him fading. I am so glad that he is doing well now.
I started my period 10 days late which was a little stressful. It is a lot like waiting for a visitor who never shows up or hoping that person will answer your text, but it takes them 2 weeks… Once it arrived, my emotions went haywire. The smallest things made me feel nostalgic and almost burst into tears. I also felt insecure and sad for no real reason. Or maybe there is a reason behind it… Overall (especially in the past), the month of July has been a sad time for me. I really hate feeling sad and insecure for no reason. Thankfully yesterday my period ended and I am feeling like myself again.
I spent a lot of time in the garden and also went for daily walks. I feel strong and am so happy for that, but I know that my body will benefit from some strength training and stretching. One thing at a time, right?
Most of my time has been busy running this business. It has been about 94 days since I took over and I am thankful that everything is going so well! I love my job and being able to help people. I spent a lot of time this week thinking of ways to improve the product and also thinking of ways that I would like to grow as a person.
Here are my blog posts from this past week:
- A Better Ending To A Sad Day
- When You Feel Like Giving Up Just Do Something!
- Everyday Blessings
- You Inspire Me To Be A Higher Me
This week was light on content and I reblogged a few times, but I am thankful that I can do that. It also gives me a chance to celebrate my progress!
JULY: JOY
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
-Dr. Seuss
- Be Confident. I did not feel very confident this week, but I am thankful that my partner was able to help me take care of our kitten.
- Take time for self-care. I did not let myself go, but I could probably take even better care of myself.
- Nurture your relationships. This week had some growing pains, but we got through it.
- Seek inspiration. I feel inspired when I go outside.
- De-clutter. I have been weeding and de-cluttering the garden.
- Bring out the BEST in others. I need to help myself first.
I was not very joyful this week, but it was mainly because I was a messy ball of emotions. I will try again this week! I hope you will have a wonderful week!
