Crazy Weather

The weather has been so crazy the last few days!  It has been in the 60's and then it gets cold!  They are predicting snow again in a few days just in tome for Thanksgiving.
I was in the Emergency Room last night due to a severe asthma attack.  I was scared because I could breath normally.  I wasn't scared when I had my crainiotomy.  
I am eating some Lay's Classic Potato Chips right now and my cat PK is helping.  She is my junk food kitty.  lol
Have a very blessed day everyone and remember:  YOU ARE LOVED SO VERY MUCH!!!

Funeral Arrangements

I got my funeral arrangements done this morning.  The funeral home director was so helpful and super nice!!!  He made the arrangements so easy and I was very comfortable doing it.  I have all of my plans like I want them and they are going to put in my obituary for people to dress comfortably just like I want.  It is a relief to have it planned.  Now to pay for it.  lol
Gasoline prices today in our small town is $2.62 a gallon!  It has been under $3.00 a gallon for a few weeks.  It can stay that low from now on.  lol
The temperature is 27F without the wind chill.  I am very thankful I don't have to cut wood to stay warm.  I have a furnace, electric heater, lots of blankets and of course the cats love to cuddle.
Have a very blessed day everyone and treat others as you want to be treated.  Please remember YOU ARE SO LOVED!!!

Snow And Cold Temperatures

We had our first snow that had some accumulation instead of a dusting.  It is windy and the temperature is 0 F with the wind chill.  School was cancelled today.  My friends in Australia tell me they are having 100F weather.  Funny how our temperatures can be so different.

Have a very blessed day everyone and take care!!!  YOU ARE LOVED SO VERY MUCH!!!

Headaches

I have been having severe headaches off and on for the past month.  I just called my neurosurgeon and they told me I am due to have another cerebral angiogram in January.  Oh, how I dread that test!!!  They told me to call the radiologist's office and see if they want to do it sooner and depending on the result of the test will determine if I need to have another surgery on my aneurysm(s).
I went to the funeral home last night for visitation for my friend's husband.  I hugged her and told her he is feeling God's NEVER ending love and she nodded and said Yes!  I met some people I used to work with and told them my story and received lots of hugs!  I am glad I can give comfort to so many people!  I talked to 1 of the funeral directors and made an appointment to make my funeral arrangements.  I am an organ and tissue donor.  I want to be cremated and have people make a donation to their favorite charity instead of flowers, throws, ceramics, ect.  There will be a viewing for 1 day and I want people to dress comfortably even if it is wearing their pajamas!  The urn can be buried at the foot of my mother's burial plot.  I don't want a headstone.  I never wanted anything fancy.  The only things I want in life is to be happy and be loved!!!  I have those!!!
It is lightly snowing and getting colder.  I do love to snuggle under my blankets!
Have a very blessed day everyone and remember....YOU ARE LOVED SO VERY MUCH!!!

RIP Jeff!!! Veteran's Day

On Sunday, one of my friends' husband passed away after a tree fell on him.  My heart breaks for her and her family and their friends.
Today is Veteran's Day.  It is a time for us to reflect on those who have served and continue to serve in the military.  God bless ALL of them!!!
A Polar Vortex is moving in tonight.  Time to hide under lots of blankets and cuddle with my fur babies.  Please take care everyone and lots of blessings to ALL of you.   Remember....YOU ARE LOVED SO VERY MUCH!!!

RIP Jolly!!!

Last night my mother-in-law's cousin Jolly passed away.  He received a call late at night to go help someone so Jolly being Jolly went to help.  He was always willing to help anyone any time .  On his way home, he was able to pull his truck over without an accident.  A gentleman had seen his truck pulled over on his way to work and on his way home, he noticed his truck was still there.  He walked up to the truck and noticed Jolly was slumped over.  The truck was still running and in drive!!!  It is a miracle that his foot stayed on the brake and the truck didn't move!!!   His heart monitor was saying, "Please resuscitate".    The gentleman called 911 but it was too late.  We had just seen him Wednesday at the hospital.  He was getting some tests done and we were there to see another relative whose appendix had ruptured.  Jolly was laughing like he always does and lightened up the room.  Our other relative made it through surgery but is very sore.  He is still in the hospital.
Please remember dear friends to tell those around you that you love them and forgive them.  You never know if it is the last day you will see them.  Many blessings and lots of love to ALL of you!!!
YOU ARE ALWAYS LOVED!!!

Live Like You Were Dying

The song "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw just played on the radio.  After everything I have been through, not just physically but emotionally (losing some people who were very dear in my heart), I try to live every day as if it were my last day.  None of us know when our last day will be.  I pray you all have the peace and love in your hearts that I have in mine!!  
I had to go to the hospital today for some blood work and while I was walking, everyone I passed, I said Hi and smiled to them.  It is amazing how that simple word can make someone's day!!   Everyone I said Hi to, said Hi back to me and smiled too!!  I have a very big HI to ALL of you!!!  Please take care and think of ways to make the world a better place.  I sincerely believe if we concentrate more on the good instead of the bad, good will prevail!!  Please take care everyone and remember YOU ARE LOVED!!!

Voting Day

Today was voting day in the United States.  We are still awaiting the results but at least it wasn't a Presidential election.  It was state and local issues.  I can't encourage enough for everyone to become registered voters and vote.  We are blessed to have that honor.  There are some countries that don't.
Have a very blessed day everyone and take care and remember....YOU ARE LOVED!!!

Nothing Beats The Feeling Of Being Loved!!!

There is nothing like the feeling of being loved!!!  As I have mentioned before, there are many types of love.  Whatever type of day I am having, if someone tells me they love me, I have instant comfort.  I love when my mom, siblings, friends, children, and the special person in my heart that no one can replace tell me they love me!!!  The greatest love of all is that of God!!!  I have felt His NEVER endiing love on that miraculous May 11, 2012 day and I feel it every day!!!  I am truly blessed to have been chosen to die and come back!!!  He knows I am not afraid to tell people about His NEVER ending love!!!  I can not stress enough how important it is to love one another and forgive those who have hurt you!!!  I know forgiving someone can be hard because I struggled with that before but it CAN be done!!!
Have a very blessed and happy day everyone!!!  Always remember...YOU ARE LOVED!!!

Love And Regrets

The reason I am putting love and regrets in the same post is to remind people that we never know when our last second on earth will be.  Life can be very short or it can be a long time... Not everyone gets to come back from dying.  I don't want people to regret not telling someone they love and forgive them!  As I have mentioned in a previous post, there are many different types of love.  There is love for your friends, family, children, pets, and that special someone who will always have a special place in your heart that no one else can replace.  Sure you will find someone else you will let in your heart but they will be in a different place in it.  I truly hope ALL of you will be happy and tell those around you that you love and care about them!  Please take care everyone and lots of blessings to ALL of you!!!

First Snow

We got our first snow last night.  The temperature right now is 32F with wind gusts up to 20 miles per hour.  It is cold!  I reluctantly turned on the furnace for the first time this season.  They are predicting another Polar Vortex for us in January and February.  Last year we had 2 come through.  I hope they are wrong about this one because the temperatures will be below 0F.  I am covered up with 3 blankets and thinking about getting another one.  No, I will stay snuggled under these for now.  lol
I am glad Halloween is over with.  Now for Thanksgiving and Christmas!!  I love them because it is time for families and friends to get together and be happy!!  Please be happy everyone and take care!!  Lots of love and blessings to ALL of you!!!
