Happy Easter

Today is Easter Sunday.  It is very pretty outside highs in the 70s.  I had Easter Dinner with my family.  My sisters and I made the meal so our mom wouldn't have to do anything.

Easter Dinner...Ham, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy, crescent rolls, macaroni salad, and deviled eggs.  We also had triple chocolate cream pie!  Yummy!  :)


How much is the kitten in the window?  Meow!  Meow!  He always looks out for me when I leave.

The snow didn't kill the daffodils. 


I originally purchased this 1 1/2 acres of land for my first dalmatian Abbey.  I called it Abbey's Lots.  I miss her so much!!!

This is my second dalmatian Bailey.  She is a rescue and I love her very much!!!  She wasn't very excited about doing a selfie picture.  LOL

Good Friday

Today is Good Friday.  Good Friday is the Christian commemoration of Jesus' Passion story; specifically his betrayal, trial and crucifixion that are described in the Christian gospels. In the sequence of Holy Week, it follows the rituals marking the Last Supper on Thursday and precedes the celebration of Jesus' resurrection on Easter Sunday.








I am having a tough time moving forward.  When I try, jealousy comes in and my emotions completely take over.  I know everything happens for a reason.  With all my medical issues, I wonder why He keeps me alive.  I pray people forgive me for the things I have said and done.

I NEED to do this!!!

More

When I woke up this morning there was more snow!  Wow!  There were frozen earthworms on the sidewalks.  As a very dear friend told me, "Frozen meals for birds."  LOL  The flowers that have bloomed needs blankets so they don't freeze.  It should be all gone in a few day because the temperature is supposed to raise at least 30 degrees. 



I had an appointment with my neurologist yesterday and my family doctor today.  I'm not getting better physically, but I'm not getting worse either.  My family doctor said I seem to have a lot of anxiety.  I told him if Social Security would stop messing around to where I lost my health insurance, I wouldn't be so anxious.  The state government blames the federal government and vice versa.  It is all a waiting game.  I am trying to keep my sense of humor and smile and laugh.  I am so thankful that Jesus is carrying me through all of this!!!  Many blessings and lots of love to ALL of you!!!

iPersonic Test

I took the iPersonic Test today.  It said I am a Sensitive Doer.  This is what it said:
Sensitive Doers are gentle, modest and reserved persons. They cope well with everyday life and like their privacy. With their quiet, optimistic nature, they are also good, sought-after listeners and other people feel well in their company.
All in all, this type is the most likable and friendliest of all personality types. Tolerance and their regard for others distinguish their personality. They are very caring, generous and always willing to help. They are open to and interested in everything that is new or unknown to them. However, if their inner value system or their sense of justice is hurt, Sensitive Doers can suddenly and surprisingly become forceful and assertive.
Sensitive Doers enjoy the comforts life offers to the full. They are very happy in everyday life. Sensitive Doers are often gifted artists or very good craftsmen. Creativity, imagination and an especially keen perception are just a few of their strong points. Sensitive Doers are very presence-oriented; long-term planning and preparations do not appeal to them. They take life as it comes and react flexibly to daily demands. They do not like too much routine and predictability. Their talents come more to the fore when work processes are variable and there are not so many rules. Sensitive Doers like to work alone; if they are part of a team, they do not get involved in competitive or power games and prefer living and working together harmoniously and openly.
Sensitive Doers are completely satisfied with a small, close circle of friends as their need for social contacts is not very marked. Here, too, they avoid conflicts - quarrels and disputes put considerable strain on them. Sensitive Doers are often very fond of animals and are very good with small children. As partner, this type is loyal and reliable and is willing to invest a lot in a relationship. Mutual respect and tolerance are very important to Sensitive Doers. Their love of pleasure makes them a pleasant companion with whom one can experience intensive moments. They like to look after their partner with attentiveness and small gifts and are very sensitive to the partner’s needs - often more than to their own. However, should they meet the wrong person, they run the risk of being taken advantage of. They are then deeply disappointed. 
Adjectives that describe your type:
introverted, practical, emotional, spontaneous, sensitive, peace-loving, reserved, gentle, good-natured, independent, empathetic, friendly, playful, carefree, sympathetic, relaxed, quiet, modest, pleasure-loving, loyal, obliging, caring, helpful, optimistic.
Your type, although belonging to the introverted doers, is also the most amiable and friendly in his dealings with others of all types. This special combination is the reason for your great flexibility. It enables you to work excellently and contently on your own to suit any situation, but also achieve extraordinary popularity and professional satisfaction as a member of a team. Here the precondition is a friendly, collegiate environment characterized by harmony and mutual respect.
You need a working environment without intrigue or political manipulation, and with the least possible deployment of elbows. Cooperation rather than confrontation, should be the order of the day. Colleagues as well as superiors equally appreciate your unassuming, congenial nature and your unbelievable sensitivity plus your attentive and generous ways toward others. In your presence, people simply have to be comfortable; you are not competition oriented, whatsoever.
You are almost limitlessly tolerant and always prepared to accept others as they are. As a consequence, you very rarely have problems getting along with different people. The only exception: when your private value system is hurt or you notice injustice somewhere. In that case, you can react quite forcefully but even in the most heated dispute you always try to argue respectfully and fairly.
Therefore it is very important that your work is compatible with your (high) values and ideals. In the long term, it is not satisfactory to just do any job with the sole objective of finding money in your account at the end of the month. You need the feeling of being able to totally identify yourself with your job, and to fully support whatever it is that you do every day. Ideally, your usually more practically- than theoretically-oriented activity provides you with tangible results. Then you can walk home at night feeling that you made the world just a little bit better than it had been in the morning - preferably for another human being.

That sums me up pretty good.  If I am criticized or chastised, I am so deeply hurt...more than the other person who done it realizes.   If I make a mistake, I am harder on myself than anyone else needs to be.  I don't need or want to "play games".  I have been told I want too much.  All I want is to please others and be  wanted.  If I could, I would help everyone who needed help.       
I read today that Cheerfulness is the oil to the machinery of life!!!  Laugh as much as you breathe, Love as long as you live!!!  A day without laughing is a wasted day!!!

Not So Graceful

I was outside today to take some pictures for my blog.  I did get the pictures but I also twisted my ankle and fell.  I am so graceful.....not.  lol    I did get a few pictures before my not so graceful acrobatic trick.  Please be happy and take care!!!

I don't know what kind of flower this is but the petals are so delicate and pretty.

Another sunny day!  Nothing like having birds mocking you when you are laying on your back and can't get up.  lol

Sunshine!!!

Finally the winds have calmed down and the rain has stopped.  The grass is turning green, the birds are singing, and the flowers are coming up as if to say Hi to the world.  The sun feels so good shining down!!!  Oh, how I have missed it!!! 





Oh, the serenading of the animals and birds.  Lucky creatures.



I can't say how truly sorry I am to those I have hurt.  I wish I could take it all back but all I can ask for is forgiveness.  My heart was hurting so very much and the physical pain was unbearable that I let my hurt hurt others and for this I am truly ashamed.  PLEASE forgive me!!!  I NEVER stopped loving you!!!



Laugh and Smile Often, Love ALWAYS!!!





Flooding

With the rain there comes flooding.  I am thankful I live on a hill so my basement doesn't flood.   It has been so windy here that tree branches are falling, siding and shingles are coming off of houses and when we have to set out recyclables, the wind blows the tubs around and then we have to go around picking up the recyclables.  It can be quite challenging with the wind blowing and we are trying to catch a plastic bottle.  lol 
Have a blessed day everyone and take care!!!  Please be happy!!!

Spring

Spring is finally here I think...There is no snow in the forecast but severe thunderstorms are headed this way.  The grass is so brown and some of the flowers are starting to peek out of the ground.  My herb garden is a mess.  I will need help getting it back in order.
Unfortunately, when the pressure changes from the thunderstorms, severe headaches start and my sciatica lets me know it is in pain.  I spent all night at the hospital in Columbus.  It really sucks because I can't get my medications anymore thanks to the Ohio law restricting physicians on prescribing them.  Darn drug addicts ruin things for those of us who have chronic pain.  The diverticulitis is so painful.  I have tried to be careful what I have been eating.  I must have eaten some seeds by accident.  Another cerebral angiogram was done and it showed the bulges on both sides of the clip from the clipping procedure are getting bigger.  I am on such a physical and emotional roller coaster right now I am thinking of letting nature take its course. 
Have a blessed day everyone and please take care!!!


I need to do this more.  I used to be very positive until some things in my personal life has happened that have shattered my heart in a million pieces!!!  I asked the doctor last night how can a shattered heart be fixed.  He said with lots of love, understanding, and prayers.  I know I have lashed out at some people who I dearly love and I am so sorry with all my heart!!!  I pray the healing starts soon!!!


He has been carrying me a lot lately.
