The little things

          It is amazing what a $5 set of press-on nails can do for you. I bought myself and my daughter press on nails the day before thanksgiving. She had hers on at thanksgiving but I had not put mine on yet.

 Thanksgiving was a very hard day for me. I missed Mike like crazy and cried the whole day. I was a mess!!

Today is the day after Thanksgiving and I have been struggling with everything, Life, family, and my own demons. I have spent the day in bed letting my depression get to me. I don't have the desire to do anything. I couldn't finish a show, I don't know how many shows I started only to stop them a short way into them. I finally got out of bed and started to clean up my bedroom a bit and I found these pres-on nails. I sat down and put them on, I felt better. I know this might sound silly to some of you but I looked at my hands with these nails and I felt pretty! it just lifted my spirits. I have been able to focus better and have been able to get some things done. It seems like such a small thing but it has been a little wonderful moment in my life. I know I shouldn't need something material to lift me out of my low times but at this moment I feel like it was the little push I needed.

the Little things are the things that add up to help us accomplish the big things. I am grateful for the little things! I a grateful for my Family and the Family I have chosen to be my family. I am most grateful for my 3 kids and all the help me to be and do. I am grateful for the little things, the silly things that can change your mood, your happiness, and your life!

Ramblings of an Exhausted Pigeon.....

Why a Pigeon????

This is the way I feel!

Let me give you some background on why I feel like a Permanently Exhausted Pigeon! I have been taking care of my Husband for our whole marriage, 9 wonderful years. The last 3 years have been the hardest. My husband has been sick for our entire marriage. I knew is was going to be hard, I have health issues, he came with 3 beautiful children and his own health issues that we will get into later. I had to work full time to provide for the family. Mike, my husband, could not work.

Over these 9 years, I have had lots of time to ponder things whether sitting in a hospital room with Mike or working at several different jobs. I have decided to share these thoughts with you. Some may be sad, some happy, some silly and others just ramblings. One thing you need to know about me is what you see is what you get. I am going to share my true feelings with you, Life is not always positive but we can try to find the positive in Life. This is what I have been trying to do through all life has thrown at us!

I have had this written for quite a while trying to decide if I really wanted to do this but something keeps telling me to move forward with this so here we go!

I hope you enjoy my Ramblings.
