AWWW MONDAY

To PINTEREST I GO! 

Yes, I said that right. For my awww Monday, I want to find a picture that makes me go awww when I don't really feel like saying awww. But I know I need it. I am thankful for this prompt on Mondays. This prompt reminds me to look for the bright side. There is always a bright side to everything.

My mom just had the procedure last week, so she is in recovery, and last night she began hurting in her upper back. She will head back to the hospital that did the procedure soon. She's at the local hospital right now and will be transported.

I haven't felt like writing today. Period. Writing is a part of my coping skills, so I figured I would write a little tonight before I take a shower, then read, then eventually sleep. I will sleep well, I hope. Last night's sleep was eventful. I woke up every hour or every two hours to pee. I also had severe heartburn, bloating, and the like. All the stuff it's a pleasure to get rid of. I made it through the night only to throw up early this morning. These are symptoms of the weight loss medicine I am taking.

The weird thing is, it's 9p.m. here and I am not sleepy. Anyway, I probably should get off the computer. That may help. But first, I will go to Pinterest to find my awww Monday. Like I said earlier, seeing a bright side is a good thing...

Some funnies 

 

Awww Mondays with Monti

MONTI SAYS, I WILL WAIT TILL YOU EAT YOUR BREAKFAST, DADDY, AND THEN I WILL HELP MAMA WASH THE BOWL. HEHEHE! AWWW, MONDAY FOR MY BLOG FRIENDS💜🐾

Friendly Fill-Ins

 1. I define success by _making it through the day with faith, love, and hope.

2. _My life as a traumatic brain injury survivor was (and is) an awkward moment.

3. I learned to _walk, talk, see; including other motor functions all over again_ when I was _17 1/2_ years old.

4. I can only _take on more responsibilities_ so much _ before I _become numb or overwhelmed_.

Granted, some days are better than others. Usually, one step at a time helps. My cats, their sweet cuddles, my friends who understand, and people who aren't pushy; all this makes the day smoother. Oh, and my blog and blog friends are the best.

Have a good day!!!

Much Love, 

Heidi💜Monti, Tux, and Smokey🐾

2.Wordless Wednesday can have words.

3.Some of the best friendships are through my blog.

4. The Lord's mercy is new every morning.

WEDNESDAY WORDS FOR WISDOM, I GUESS

https://messymimismeanderings.blogspot.com/2025/08/wednesdays-words-just-words.html

It took him a while to realize that everything he decided not to change, he was actually choosing. Once he reached a certain age, he started thinking about what was to happen when he reached the point of no return...his death.

This place we hope for is just over the horizon. But first, we must experience a certain consciousness, he started to believe. At least not a consciousness we were familiar with. The theorist doesn't believe in our kind of faith, he thought. That's fine, he said to himself. A great thing about faith in something more after death is that having faith will enhance your life here on Earth. You will enter that consciousness I referred to earlier in my post. He had hope that this was true.

Much love.

Have a great day!

TAKE AWAY TUESDAY

It's International Dog Day!  This began as National Dog Day, started 21 years ago by the Colleen Paige. 

THANKS TO:   

 Barb Kowalik, The Cat Blogosphere- (EVENT BADGE) 

.I am not bragging, a lot of people cut the grass...but...It is amazing to me how many times I can look out over my lawn and smile with pride at the fact that I've cut the grass. Progress, that's the feeling I get from it. Life is all about the little things. Note to self: focus on the little things today.

AWWW MONDAY, SPARKS ON MONDAY ( ALL ABOUT MONDAY SO FAR)

Things I want to say... I want to lash out when people post on Facebook words that are meant to destroy someone's character. The thing is, people are already forming opinions about others. So instead I just let it go...

Turn the other cheek, Jesus says. Vengeance is mine, says the Lord. Still today is Monday, a new day to laugh a little more, to love others a little harder. Please don't let that ugly behavior of gossip ruin your day. You can be a Spark on a Monday instead. You can choose to find a picture that makes you say Awww.

Have a good day!

Much love,

 Heidi💜🐾

MY WORD, IT'S WEDNESDAY

There is no word for the beauty of the Lord's creation, on a WORDLESS WEDNESDAY- with Comedy Plus. Also joining a bunch of fantastic peeps from the blogosphere who host Wordless Wednesday – Betty, Steve, image-in-ing, Keith, Senior Salon, Esme Salon, CatSynth, and Suzana. 

Also joining  THE CAT BLOGOSPHERE-Blog Hop.

Oh, I don't remember her name, but I overheard a lady telling her friend that she was "between a rock and a hard place", and that brought it to my memory the time I felt that way. What I thought was me just being lazy or needing to "knuckle down" was really me being overwhelmed with responsibility. The kind of responsibility that wasn't "my" responsibility. However, I was made to feel so. I was at the stage where I was "long in the tooth"; I was not young anymore. When dealing with my own health, well-being, and sense of self-worth, I was weak. I could handle it, but just handle it at a much slower pace. That's when I realized that I knew the lady. Her story is an intense one.

You see, there was the local prostitute who had five children with a man who seemed to get "satisfaction" from thinking he was "exempt" from any responsibility of his own life. He was an "absent" father to his children from his marriage of thirty years. Maybe it was a "combination" of his lack of listening to an "echo" from the Holy Spirit, and the fact that all he wanted to do was have "fun".

Either way, this was the wife. His wife, who felt empty of the love that she deserved from a husband who never grew up. He wasn't mature while thinking the world revolved around him instead of the sun. Good Grief!

ALL ABOUT TUESDAY

 so I didn't do this in the Walmart cooler section

, featuring the latest Blue Bell ice cream flavors, but I sure did feel like it. Is it snowing yet? I'm ready for Fall, at least.

Like I was talking about earlier in my post, I love the produce and freezer section of Walmart. It's cold; my favorite temperature setting. My mom, however, tries to stay away from it. She is cold at the age of 78, and I am hot at the age of 51. Isn't life something? I love naps, cat cuddles, my blog, music, and reading. Oh and food. So much that I am on Wegovy for weight loss. But to digress, let's look at Pinterest for Tuesday funnies, then post some for a good laugh.

Y'all have a great Tuesday!! I hope you can find some joy in your struggle today and every day. God Bless You.

Much love,

Heidi💜🐾
