Me and My Family

Hello

I'm a single mom, to a son 12. I'll be seeking out info from that perspective and can be found mostly in Q&A and reading advice. Lovely opportunity here for me to read 'puberty and single momhood' advice.  I love gardening, sewing, reading, hiking and in my spare indoor time, whatever that is, doing research on the internet.

back for a bit

Comment Published at 12:0912:093 comments3 comments26 Visits26 VisitsReport

It's been a bit since I was last here, thank you Janice and Marqua for your blog posts. It is summer here in CT, USA, with warm warm temperatures, school is out and flowers and garden in bloom. Spring is my favorite time of year and Summer is second best! I love being warm and digging into the dirt in my gardens.

John has a bird santuary garden which is in its third year and really filling in nicely. I've got my veggie and flowers to keep me busy, growing tomatoes, pepers, eggplant, luttuce, summer squash, and lots and lots of sun flowers for their beauty and for winter feeding of the birds.

As for work, I'm only working a few hrs per week due to my last clients moving in with their daughter. They became too ill, and were unsafe at their home and did not want 24 hr care. So things are pretty tight and I'm looking each day for work....seems a never ending battle with single parenting. I sure wish I could find some type of job doing internet research as I love doing that almost as much as helping seniors stay in their homes!

I'm on my one week vaction of the year right now with John away at Boy Scout camp until next Saturday. The house is very quiet, I'm being very lazy, despite many things I know I could be doing....motivation when I'm not working is a constant battle due to lack of routine and self discipline that I'm not very proficient with at all! 

Well, that's about all, take care all@!!

The Blue Side

Comment Published at 18:5918:590 comments0 comments19 Visits19 VisitsReport

healingpic.jpg Healing picture by womanpwr This is Healing to help cleanse negative and bad for better Physical, emotional, and mental health.

I read of a group today "WOMAN" of minti members who've lost their nan's and mothers....how lucky we are to know here that many members here at minti who are willing and do their best to fill in for those we have lost physically, yet always remain with us in spirit and  love us and watch over us from afar....while the memories live on in our hearts with love.

I'm  feeling a bit on the blue side, my dear son is away camping and I'm in my wallowing tear phase of depressing thoughts....soon to change as each day does, just a moment in time. I hate the sadness that can be so pervasive in my life, so I went searching for some pretty picture and words of healing to any who might feel blue, to know you are not alone in your struggle of emotions and life challenges. We all have those challenges, some are placed  higher and take longer to work through, be they medical or psychological.  There is no weakness in reaching out for help, nor taking a medication to help with the pain of depression.  So reach out to the ones who love you and that  you love.....ask for what  you need, as they can not read your mind, no matter how much you'd like that to happen, as speaking the words, can be difficult....the silence of pain and the isolation is worse than difficult....Abundance...this one word will alway get me to the place I want to be, as I do have much in my life to be grateful for, and my favorite activity is within the word......so I think I put on some music and Dance away my blues until ds returns.......he'll drive me so crazy I won't have time to be sad for those who have passed.
