Journal to Healthier Living – Week 15

Welcome my friends.  I’m tweaking my weekly journey with my healthier living.  It’s a step in the right direction for sure.  I hope you come along for the ride.  Instead of day-to-day comments, I’m going to post something from my personal journal to share.  Hope you enjoy.  Remember all of us go down this path and we are all in it together ❤

Week of 04/15-04/21/2018 – Week 15

“Dear Journal – Sometimes you need to sit, simmer, breathe and just be for a bit.  I’ve been trying to go out on the back deck at night right at dusk just to do this.  A little meditation all to myself just to be in the moment and let things go.  I’ve been stressed lately.  I can admit that.  Nothing in particular but everything all rolled up into one festering just waiting to explode.  Nothing specific you can put your finger on of what is pushing you over the edge.  Then something little happens and everything explodes with you ending up crying like a big baby… over what?  Who knows?  It’s been that way for the past couple of months.  But last week something happened.  Something positive.  And with that positive happening, life settled back down again into the right puzzle pieces and all felt right in the world.  What have I been stressed over?  Who knows and at this point who cares.  Life is good now.  Funny how that happens in life, right?  So what does this teach us?  Live the moment, good and bad, remember to breathe and that this soon will pass ❤

Destress Friday

Okay friends.  Let’s have a destressful kind of Friday.  Today, let’s let the stress go far, far away…. even if it is just for a few moments.  Today, we will not let stress get to us in any way, shape or form.  Today, we will get it off our chests, breathe with relief and laugh it away.

What has been stressing you lately?  What has you worried you enough that you want to slap/kick or soccer punch someone in the pie hole and tell them to stow it?  Come on my friends.  Let’s let it ALL out today so we can have an awesome weekend.  Be it small or large – let it be no more!

My mom will go first.  Take it away MOM!

◊ Dear next door neighbor.  Believe it or not, there are several companies that come in our neighborhood to take your trash away.  You really don’t have to keep stock piling it in your backyard.  I mean no one can see your backyard but me… how lucky can I be.  But trust me, even if I didn’t see it, I could smell it.  So with that in mind, can you please call one of the local trash companies.  Heck, I’ll even give you a list of their numbers.  Just sayin’

◊ Dear XYZ Company.  If I haven’t called you back in three weeks, there’s a high probability that I’m not interested.  With that being said, there is no need for you to continue calling my residence upwards 2-3 times a day every day.  Just sayin’

◊ Dear husband.  Don’t add to my stress.  Be a good husband, nod your head accordingly and say, “I love you” randomly throughout the day.

 

31 Days of Spook – Active VIRUS!

Oh piggy heavens above! Oh my friends.  I hate to be the one to tell you this but there is a deadly virus going around these parts.  You need to protect yourself STAT!  It’s awful and can hit you at any time.

In fact, the virus is called Weekly Overload Recreational Killer (WORK).  If you come in contact with the WORK virus, you should immediately go to the nearest Biological Anxiety Relief (BAR) center to take antidotes known as Working Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE), Radioactive UnWORK Medicine (RUM), Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER) or Vaccine Official Depression Killing Agent (VODKA).

Don’t be a victim my friends – take action NOW!

 

Be Forewarned –

As you know,  mom/dad are leaving me going on vacation this Saturday.  The packing has started a little bit here/there for the beach adventure.  They have secured me a “pig sitter” – a beautiful person named Hannah.  All of the stars have lined up and they feel everything is fine.

But deep down in my pot belly, I just don’t feel so good.  There’s a weird butterfly feeling that keeps bugging me.  Maybe it’s mommy separation?  Mommy left me for a few days when I was around six weeks old but I’m two now.  It’s been a long time since we’ve been separated.  She says she will call and skype.  But, there’s that feeling in the depth of me belly. I can’t put my hoove on it.  It’s strange.

So friends, be forewarned.  I have some of you on speed email.  If a problem arises, you will hear from me.  I don’t want to worry mom/dad on their trip.  I just have a feeling.  Do you know what this feeling is?
