These months, especially June had been filled with celebrations & events. Having shared success of Graduations; celebrate traditional Birthday events; as well as sharing moments of those in Hospice & burying of loved ones.
Much reflections & emotions has unfolded. It's having the moments of time shared. Having the wants & ability, I'm gald I can now.
Though sometimes drained & tired. The need to rest & nurture inbetween, a must.
July, another increase in cost of living in this State. It continues as more programs are cut; & other job hardships are faced. Some affected in criminal and/or legal consequences of perhaps ... stress.
Understandbly, our nation shares these anxieties and depressive downs. I find, as we continue to deal in our own strength as survivors, there arises new folks trying to cope with their new fears.
Yes, I do have to find the strength & keep myself in tune. As I still must continue to know what I can or cannot control. Hard times will arise, as I need to repeat. "I have been where I have been, and fought to be where I am. No matter what, I will try best to continue." ... because for me, sharing a smile, a little kindness as I go on my journey - is well worth the moments.
It is my own challenge to keep the balance and walk in stride to try best to counteract the negatives around me, both in my home and as I walk out that door. If a kind word; a kind expression etc., is shared. I say, "Gotcha', bully for me". (May sound silly..., but I know my own depressive downers & rise of anxiety - as I combat the thoughts/feelings. Hey .. I gotta' rule here. May feel kicked down, but I got stronger and I'm up. ... Perhaps, I can't do a flip to a stand, but dirt don't bother me if I fall.
Okay, July - your turn.

Hello Honey, It's been a while since I've been here on DS. Had some issues to deal with myself during the month of June.
