This message is one that needs repeating. How often do we rush into something, and find that ..maybe, just maybe…. we should have, could have waited.

Was a month yesterday, I have been living in an apartment, what a change, and what a blessing. I learned how valuable friends are, and how life without them would be very empty. Friends are precious gifts.
A gentle reminder, to slow down and take it easy in this oppressive heat we’ve been having this summer.
Have a joyful day by being a little more creative
You will enjoy your day more by adding a little creativity to your daily activities.

fyi. for those of you who have followed my journey with neuropathy, I have been trying magnesium cream.. applying it topically, It didn’t happen overnight, but I have noticed… I sleep a much sounder and a longer sleep, and AND I have less leg discomfort/cramping etc.
It is hot, it is humid, not a breeze to be had, it is the kind of day you want to conserve your energy. If possible it was the kind of day to stay inside and catch up on activities that will allow you to be comfortable .. I had visitors today, in both cases, they brought food…. I didn’t have to cook… it was wonderful…. I had made a soup… my Dad was very firm, when I found it hot, his remedy was a nice bowl of hot soup. That or on the odd occasion I was allowed a cup of tea. Being the eldest I was not allowed coffee, tea, sweets, etc. To this day I am grateful, I have never had a sweet tooth, or a desire to drink pop, soft drinks, or alcohol beverages. So, when I got in from getting gas and a few necessities, I made a chicken soup with pure bone broth, veggies, and beans. Old fashion remedy, but it worked, What have you been doing to cope with the heat we have had this summer
Start today with a fresh outlook
Even though people and situations may look the same, they are constantly changing. Start each day with a fresh mind.

tomorrow I will have been in the apartment one month – the only constant in life is change.
A different season. temperatures are somewhat cooler this morning, but who knows what we will experience by end of day. The humidity levels have been so draining.
The move has gone well, the house is now sold, belongs to someone else… Yay! I do miss my garden(s) especially the trees that are now giving fruit. but.. such is life.. now I am adjusting to living in an apartment and parking in an underground maze of cars…. metal sculptures on rubber wheels that wait for us to need them again.
There is one car down there that is kept like a polished jewel, one day I will meet the owner, it is a baby blue jeep. Not once have I seen it with a spec of dust on it, it just looks so “pretty”…. mine has already been christened, with cement scrapes and scratches.
“Oh! and guess what!” I finally found my storage container with the pasta etc. in it. Yay! Let’s see… and oh yes, yesterday I treated the hardwood floors to a Magnolia Home carpet. (by Joanna Gaines)(Loloi) It is a runner not a full carpet.. the cats love it. I enjoy the contrast of it against the hardwood floor. Slowly my new “home” is taking shape. You saw yesterday the mask I found.. lots of good positive energy there!!!
Eartha was here yesterday, she helped me with the magnesium creams/spray .. getting ready to work on the “ZEN” room. There is a teaser for you.. I’m really looking forward to enjoying the “ZEN” room. fyi. the magnesium cream does seem to give breathing room to the neuropathy visits. I have found the topical use of magnesium more effective (for me) then supplements. Which end up in my digestive system.. I want it where I need it.
Think of the timing before you say “but”
When stating your opinion, make sure you are being respectful of others’ opinions. Be mindful of this when you speak.

View your difficulties as a chance to make rapid progress
You grow by overcoming the obstacles in front of you, one by one. Look at your problems as opportunities for growth and make the best of your situation.
Yesterday came and went, it can not be recalled or relived. What was, was. So often I find myself with an idea … and I don’t write it down. “I’ll remember” I tell myself.. but I don’t. Oh I recall I had this brilliant idea, but what the idea was…. ah… well… let’s just say, it may or may not surface again.
Discover the joy of transforming yourself
When you realize how much you have changed for the better, it fills you with true happiness. Strive each day to improve yourself.

Do not take life too seriously. you will never get out of it alive, (Elbert Hubbard)
Listen to others’ opinions with an open mind and learn from their wisdom. If you are too entrenched in your own thoughts, you will not be able to catch hints or inspirations from others. Let’s always be open to others’ opinions.
