December 1
Ah –hurricane season is officially over. I feel grateful that we were not impacted with major damage this year. Losing the Live Oak was the most damage, and very thankful we didn’t have further damage than just losing the tree.
Today is also National Christmas Lights Day! Yay! I love mine, and they are already up thanks to David and Stephen. I don’t have a picture from this year, so this is last years picture. Basically the same but will post this years later next week.
And the weekend brings time with girlfriends in Tallahassee, again the picture is from last year, but excited to have the time with them again.
Happy December 1st. Feeling truly grateful for family, and friends.
Blessings today and always.

Sunday Thought
Reset. That is the thought for me today. Resetting of my thoughts and actions. Regaining composure and strength. So going back to the basics. One step at a time.

Lessons
The difference between school and life?
In school, you’re taught a lesson then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson. –Tom Bodett

Sunday Thought
Needs versus wants. I really thought I had everything I needed, until I met someone without a home. A friend from my past posted that they needed help, and I jumped. I have gotten burned again, but it doesn’t stop me from giving. Although would I do it again? Yes. I will always help but in a different way. It is my heart that hurts to hear that someone might be sleeping in their car.
We live pay check to paycheck as I am sure a lot of people do. We have over extended ourselves, and are surviving. All I could think about was not having my home. Just one more job loss, or tragic event and we could be in the same boat.
These friends just can’t seem to crawl out of their despair. I was warned before I helped them, as apparently, they have done this to several friends. They have gone to them over and over asking for help with no apparent way out. Lost. Stephen asked me why they couldn’t stay with family. They had said they couldn’t go back to them. I believe that they have exhausted themselves with most everyone here.
They wrote to me after an altercation with David (he came asking for more money) saying that they felt like scum, and ashamed. That they wouldn’t be coming to us again, that we have helped enough.
I don’t believe we have helped them in the correct way. Giving them money wasn’t the answer. I am not sure how to help them at this point because it has gone on so very long, but my heart wants to help. I continue to search for answers feeling lost.

Happy Halloween

Today…
Today is National Cranky Co-Workers Day, National Black Cat Day, and National Potato Day!
I suggest that the cranky co-workers have some french fries and get a hug from a black cat.
Apparently, we are to “Celebrate the day by letting your co-workers be as cranky as they want! Don’t try to cheer them up at all, and let them wallow in their normal crankiness! Celebrate who they are and that there is really no way you can ultimately change them.” This is per the holiday site.
Really!? I still like my idea of the french fries and cats.
Blessings!!
Monday
Monday is okay after a restful weekend with friends.
