Blossoming into a Balanced Week! :) Nature, Garden Time, and Writing :) hi angel friends! :) my family, Holly, and i hope everyone is doing well, in good health, and enjoying a nice day :) We all got a good night's sleep last night, after a big week, with all of the birthday's :) We want to thank you all, our dear angel friends for sharing in the week with us, and helping make the times very special :) it was a really big, long week, that felt like 3 weeks combined, and all needed some much needed rest, and relaxation yesterday, and a good night's sleep :) We're so glad, the kids enjoyed their birthday's :) Through all the times shared, and even on saturday which was hectic, we'll always treasure the memories made :) We're enjoying blossoming into the new week, with some simple joys, that we've been looking forward too :) our halloween pumpkin is growing a lot, in our garden :) We're reconnecting with our yard, and garden today, with some quality time in nature :) i'm very happy to share some new pictures of our plants, and garden :)

This morning, we had a nice new day, rising and shining :) We had some nice replenishing rainfall yesterday, which is great for the plants, and nature :) it's always very exciting checking in on the plants, after a good watering :) i was up early this morning, i got a good, full 7 hours of sleep last night :) my energy felt very low yesterday. it's feeling better today :) i gathered a big bowl of goodies this morning, and went outside for my early morning nature walk :) i put lots of goodies in our backyard, bird sanctuary area :) it's very neat, seeing lots of birds around, these golden days of summer season :) our nature friends love the goodies, and the hummingbirds have been enjoying the nectar food :) We need to make some more nectar food soon :) we love the spirit of these golden days of summer time nature, and the gardening season :)

Garden Greetings on this peaceful day :) i was checking in on our plants this morning :) one of my goals and Holly's goals of the week, is to reconnect with our yard, and garden, getting back in tune with the plants, and garden :) our plants are doing awesome, continuing to super mega grow :) We have a big halloween pumpkin growing, lots of gourds, string beans :) it's so neat, our Kentucky wonder pole string beans beginning to grow, along with lots of cabbage plants, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, popcorn cobs, and lots more :) We're so happy to be picking garden goodies :) the goodies are fresh, crisp, and makes our hearts feel a great sense of rewarding feeling :) We love our plants, and garden, and have been so very much, looking forward to getting back into a gardening grove, and keeping closely in tune with our plants from day to day :) We have lots of happy flowers blossoming, sunflowers, cosmos, impatiens flowers, marigolds, morning glory flowers, snowball bush blossoms, and lots more :) it's a very special time in the gardening season :) We're all very excited to see a cool halloween pumpkin growing :) it's been about 8 or 9 years, since we've had an orange halloween pumpkin grow in our garden :) it's currently green, but will turn orange :) it's amazing too, to see how perfectly pumpkin shaped it is :) it's awesome! :) i'm pumped up and excited to be taking some new nature, and gardening pictures :)

Writing Time :) i'm excited to be blossoming into some nice writing :) i wrote a new letter, for our dear friend Judy (LivingWater) :) i'm also going to write some more postcards :) i'm very excited, that friends have been recieving their cards :) it warms our hearts, and brings us smiles :) We're gonna be mailing out some envelopes here from home, on super wednesday :) it's very special to our hearts, getting to write to friends across the miles, and we love all of our beautiful cards, gifts, and treasures we recieve, and displaying them in our writing area :) it makes my writing area glow :) i'll be taking some cool new pictures of my writing area tomorrow, to share with everyone :) i recently signed up for some free cards from freebieshark site, and going to buy some more stamps soon too :) we love to mail at least 4 or 5 envelopes per week, here from home :)

Feeling better about things :) i want to thank everyone so very much, for all of your comforting care, support, and encouragement with things. :) it helped a lot, to be able to reach out to friends, and writing in my journal about things. i wrote to my dad, Holly, myself, and everyone, who has had similar or same experiences. we love our family gatherings, and are always very hopeful, that things go well, and smoothly for us all :) big gatherings, like saturday, and having social anxiety, and shyness, it's already a challenge, and being around people we don't know too well, it can be hard to feel comfortable. We all want to feel comfortable, to feel included, and one of the most important things for myself personally, to help me feel relaxed while going to a big family gathering, is to fit in, and to feel like i'm a part of it all, and i felt very bad, along with my dad, and Holly on saturday, that we weren't included, and effort wasn't made by the hosts, to include us more. it not only hurt our feelings, and our hearts, but it also made my dad and Holly, both have back pain, which is disheartening. We are very hopeful, that next time there's a gathering, everyone will be able to fit in, have seats. :) we always make sure, our backyard is fully ready, for everyone to be able to have seats, and enough comfortable space, so that the party/gathering can be fully enjoyed :) We're looking forward to our confidence being built up again, so that we don't have to worry, going into experiences, like party's, gatherings. we just want to be included, and to feel comfortable :)

Heart Felt Feelings about support :) Hi angel friends, i just want to say how very thankful i am, for everyone's love, care, and support, for my dad, Holly, and i, and what we went through :) i want to mention some things i get nervous about. sometimes, it can be hard for me to talk, or to reach out for support. i'm naturally a shy person, and i never want to burden anyone. for me, it's easy to be quiet, shy, and to be more of the one supporting, instead of reaching out to support. i think for me, building up confidence enough, to talk about support, reaching out for it, is a really big step for me :) sometimes, i do need to talk, or need support, and sometimes i can feel awkward about reaching out for support, and i'm not use too it. i think in some situations, when someone is trying to reach out to a friend, and when a friend can say, "move on, let it go, or tomorrow's a new day", that's perfectly fine in some situations, but also sometimes people need people to listen, that can be very supportive in itself. i think sometimes, some people can say, "let it go, or move on", and it can make someone who is hoping someone will listen, for support, can make it feel like the issues they're having, or experiencing, is being pushed to the side, and it can make someone feel bad. i think for me, i've had that happen a few times.

i've been working hard over the years, to get comfortable, to feel comfortable, talking to friends, lots of trust goes into talking, sharing, and recieving and giving support :) it's like a foundation of confidence :) i always want to feel comfortable to reach out, and i work hard on that, trying to overcome the shyness aspect of it, so that it's easier for me to reach out :) i think i personally fear, and get nervous about, if i try to reach out, which is a big step, i worry i sometimes get that, "move on, or let it go", and in times when i really need to talk, or need a friend to listen too. it can be taken a variety of ways, some in which could make me, or anyone feel uncomfortable or nervous about reaching out for support. deep down, i know in my heart, the family member, or friend, means well, and doesn't mean to make me feel like my issues are just worthy of pushing aside. i feel the love, and care, it's just sometimes i need to talk and friend or family to listen :) i love giving support, and i'm trying my best to be able to feel comfortable to reach out for support, when i need too :) like i said, i'm much more comfortable, giving support, listening, talking, but for me to reach out for support, it can be tougher. i love writing about spirit soaring days, nature, gardening, but sometimes i have some issues come up, whether it's family, friends related, or a personal goals issue :) i think for me, sometimes from now on, i may personally write a headline on my main page, to let everyone know, today is a bit off balance, and that i'm gonna write in my journal about issue :) that will be good, and healthy for me :) You all are very special, dear friends, and i appreciate you all, Holly and my family appreciate you all very much :) We'll always be here for you and your family's :)

We're enjoying a nice day, blossoming into the new week :) my family, Holly, and i are doing well, healthy, and in good spirits :) We're thankful, and blessed to be having a nice easy, peaceful start to the new week :) i'm writing a new letter, and gonna write some cards :) Holly and i had a nice lunch, and enjoying some iced cold drinks :)We're looking forward to watching our show tonight :) we're feeling better about things, and feeling more relaxed :) Enjoying our nature walks, and garden tending :) tomorrow's sweet treats tuesday :) We look forward to going out to get some treats at mcds, and dunkins :) Keep healthy, safe, and strong everyone :) Thank you angel friends, so very much, for all that you do for us, and for the very special heart warming joy you all bring to our days, our hearts, and our lives :) You all are wonderfully nice, sweet, and very caring :) We deeply appreciate everything, with all of the love of our hearts :) big group happy sunny caring comforting friendship hug :) You all give us strength, hope, inspiring us to enjoy each day to the fullest :) Thank you all, for brightening our days and making each day very special :) We're so happy, thankful, and blessed to have you all in our lives :) We look forward to sharing in many more very special times, adventures, and all of the seasonal traditions and festivities with family, friends, nature, gardening, and the wonderful spirit of the summer season :)
