 Good Morning    Still working on the house.  No the garage is STILL filled.  I am able to pull my car in so that is a good thing.  The problem is my son originally thought he would want a bedroom set, table and chairs, etc. and has now changed his mind.  He also brought EVERY tool of his fathers and guess where they are!  He is in the process of being cleared for a fantastic job opportunity so he has no time to even think about all the stuff he has here in my garage.  😂  I will continue to unpack my boxes and try to push the other stuff further to the wall.  Evidently, "I" will have to make the decision to call a charity to bring a truck and cart all the stuff away.  Slowly the house is getting done.  I am settling in.  I LOVE IDAHO; it is like I died and went to heaven.  I discovered a women's group that gets together and does activities together.  Sounds like fun.  My neighbors in California stay in touch and I am expecting a visit from a young woman that worked for me at the University.  She has relatives here and discovered I am just 15 minutes away from them!   I have also located a Food Bank nearby that I can volunteer for.  I AM HAPPY.  I am praying that your daughter will find a job she loves and that you find happiness and contentment.  Luv you ❤️  Our Marcy continues to be a "busy bee" and I am happy for her.  All of this does not mean that we have forgotten our loved ones.  I am certain that we all think of them each day and keep them in our heart and minds.  They will NEVER be forgotten.

How are you guys doing?  🤔

Well, I didnot win anything from the two Scratchoffs I bought at Walmart YESTERDAY but I saw Dalinda and my OLD Maintenance Guy.

Lol, he told her he USE TO BE my friend - luvs to tease.

Also got the DETAILS finally from my daughter in Florida YESTERDAY and a phone call a few days ago. Yes, being PATIENT paid off. She will be okay for a few months more while she continues to Job Hunt after her 4/11/24 Layoff.

Quiet day for me.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY.

Luv you,

You have done nothing wrong at all and your very kind comments touched my insides. You are ALWAYS WELCOME to join any of my discussions. I am heading offline for a bit and see you are online. Didnot want to think I am ignoring you.

(1 comment) Marcy @MarcyW882921 , I have learn't to be careful with wishing folks Happy Mother's Day when I am NOT sure IF they are one. Now IF my VERY OLD BRAIN "remembers"  🙄🙄🙄  I seem to remember you mentioning Stepkids. So HATS OFF TO YOU MOM and hope you were able to spend some time with them.

Luv you Ms. Zumba, Ms. Chorus & Ms. Tennis.

You did great remembering Nicole @SpringIsSoHappy ! I did not get to spend time with either of them, but I did my housecleaning, went to a park to enjoy walking and nature, and ordered takeout to enjoy a quiet dinner at home.😊

So Our Ms. Idaho @Cadee2719 is all settled in and stopped by TODAY!!!  💃💃💃

And my Property Manager called me TODAY and I can move whenever I want to = NO 60-day notice!!!  💃💃💃

My daughter as far as I know is still Job Hunting since her 4/11/24 Surprise Same Day Mass Layoff at Harris L3 in Florida. I TRY  🙄🙄🙄  not to ASK if she has found anything = wait on her to tell me IF she has.  👍👍👍

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY.

  Good morning, Nicole.  Sorry to hear about the problems with your place.  Funny, my son has applied for a new job here and tells me very little.  What is it with these guys?  I, too, try not to ask too many questions, yet he wants to know everything about what I am doing??????  Crazy  I am focusing on unpacking and accomplishing all that needs to be done.  Got my drivers license here, now I have to go and get a new license plate for my car.  Met the previous owner of my home this morning, very sweet.  She brought by some things she took by mistake.  Once I  unpack the other half of my garage, I should be settled.  😂  It keeps me busy.  I have been working so hard and so long that I decided I AM DOING NOTHING TODAY!!!!!!  It is just one of those days.  I keep your daughter in my nightly prayers and KNOW she will get a job that she will love soon.  I also hope that you find a place to live that you will fee "at home" in.  Hang in there.  ❤️  It seems as if we are always dealing with something doesn't it?

Hi Nicole!

It has been said that this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt... suggests that those who "have a clear idea of what they want to achieve and a strong belief in their ability to make it happen are the ones who will be most successful in creating the future they desire....& it encapsulates the essence of hope, determination, and the transformative power of dreams.”

Anyway...as always... Take care

Lol, I am having one of my feel sorry for myself and worry about my laid off daughter in Florida DAYS.

But it has been a PEACEFUL DAY here in Cave Spring-Virginia, about to change as folks head back from work.

Thanks,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

Monday Monday. I played tennis a half hour earlier today because of scheduling and initially I wasn't quite awake. I also made it to water aerobics so I could catch up with a friend I hadn't seen for awhile. The outside temperature was great, but the pool was cool! 🥶 Tonight is my chorus' Friends & Family night so I have to get myself together for that performance. I'm grateful for a beautiful day of life and activity.

Wishing you a peaceful and satisfying day!

Nicole @SummerIsTooHOT ,

I think you had better grab that cup of coffee before people start returning home from work. You might need that little jolt of preparation!

Here's something to think about in response to your worry...

“If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good.”
― Shantideva

Think of ways to use your energy to benefit yourself and others. You've got this!

Well, an up-all-night - lol, so grateful I get to stay home = no need to be driving with no sleep.

Won $1 on one of my $1 Scratch Off Tickets and $3 on the other one. Yes, my $2 splurge every Tuesday when I head to Walmart for groceries.

I had NOT seen my friend (Walmart employee) for the LAST two visits. But learning to APPRECIATE the "random" things in my life. Well TODAY she was behind me and we hugged. A dear lady who is a Cancer Survivor. IF I had not decided to CHANGE to the OTHER Self-Checkout, I probably would NOT have ran into her.

Lol, was in one of my moods YESTERDAY [TUESDAY] MORNING and didnot want to deal with the staff at my usual Self-Checkout location.

My daughter in Florida finally finished working on her resume. Yes, after 5 years, her resume needed updating. Now to hope she finds something soon before her 5 weeks Layoff Severance runs out.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY...

Nicole @SummerIsTooHOT , It sounds like you had a pretty good day. A little profit on the lottery tickets, a chance meeting with your friendly Walmart employee, and a hug! 

I did a Zumba class online and took a very good line dancing class through AARP. It's hard not to be happy when you are dancing!

A cancelled class for this evening allows me to have dinner with a friend so all is well.

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[mc6844]

Thank you Nicole. Good to hear from you too, and also to read everyone's shares. I was trying to start a new topic. What Not To Do When Grieving. I found a good article but can't find it again. I've done a lot of what Not to do when grieving. Lol Does everyone have suggestions of what not to do?  Thank you.

[MarcyW882921]

Don't be silent. Express your feelings and needs to people who are in your safe circle.

Marcy

[mc6844]

I have one suggestion. Don't ignore that you're in grief.

Slept well and still worrying about my daughter being laid off. Fingers crossed she finds something soon.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY.

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[mc6844]

I'm glad you slept well. It's definitely a challenge not to worry. I don't have any suggestions. Lol.
