i'm so glad, and thankful i did some writing this past weekend :) it helped me very much, and everyone's love, care, support, guidance, and encouragement :) it means the world to me, and gives me a lot of strength and hope :) it helped me so much to talk, sharing feelings, and emotions i've been going through. it's theraputic for me to write, talk, and really helps me get back to a good peaceful balance with my spirit, and focus :) i love to share, about the spirit soaring times, of our nature walks, gardening, my writing, plus all of the times with family and friends :) it's very comforting, and uplifting knowing friends are there, and my mom and Holly, giving me lots of support too :) i'm proud of opening up, sharing, and overcoming some feelings of nervousness to share. i had lots of emotions/feelings building up inside me in recent times, and tried to keep it inside myself, but it was becoming unhealthy for me, and making me more stressed, and anxious, and writing really helped to release those feelings of emotions, and helping me get back on track :) i want to keep on this good health peaceful track, and setting good boundaries in my days :)



i sometimes, and often lately, been getting pulled into some emotions here in our home, and then all of the times i help, and wasn't getting the same respect here at home ,it really hurt my feelings, and made me feel used. i want to be proud of helping, and proud of the times i'm there to help when i can :) lots of times the emotions within our home ,can cloud up my focus on peaceful joys, that bring me balance. i'm gonna work hard on trying to not get pulled into these emotional times here in our home, and keeping a balance of things that bring me peace, like my DS time, writing cards, notes, letters, browsing coins, collectibles, nature, gardening :) those peaceful balances, really keep me going strong :) feeling spirited, and helps me keep focused on my daily routines, and it gives me a balance to the point where i can handle moments that come up, and can be strong in those moments :) i want to focus on my health, and peacefulness :) Thank you all, our dear angel friends, for always being here for me :) i'll always be here for you all too <3



i'm very happy things are going well and better here at home too :) i realize i was taking on way too much, from other's emotions, their responsibilities, and not letting myself emotionally breathe. i felt bad for a while, about how i was feeling ,about not being treated fairly. i'm so glad, and thankful in the moments where i feel like i'm being treated equally,and when my help is appreciated by my family :) it's the littlest things sometimes, that can give us a vote of confidence, that decisions we make, are good, quality ones :) i felt awful and sad, and depressed about some ways/treatment i was getting, i even set my expections very low already, but to be feeling like i'm used, and not appreciated, it's one of the worst feelings. i'm very thankful, that i'm gonna be getting back more of my money, with Lisa giving me another payment tomorrow, and Jenn giving me a payment on friday, plus Alyssa paying me back in full on July 21st :) i do work hard for the money i earn online, it's truly a dedication to working/earning on the surveys sites, and sites like swagbucks, it can take some time to earn a $100, and i feel bad, when family doesn't budget their money better. i've talked with my mom and Holly about, how when i do better, when it's just one family member borrowing ,but when it's more than one, numerous members, it can really make me feel stressed, and additional times when i feel i'm not appreciated, it makes it even hard.



i have talked with my mom, dad, and friends too, about how i went to set some stricter boundaries when it comes to helping family financially, i realize, they shouldn't be depending on me too much, and leaning on me too much. i want to do well with limiting the amount of financial help. i know i don't do enough for myself, and i want to work on that, like when it comes to buying coins, or stamp, treating myself :) i've been so into saving, that i rarely will buy some for myself. most of my awesome collectibles, i've either gotten as gifts, or with birthday money, or with gift cards i earn online. i don't spend much on coins ,the most expensive coin i've ever bought, was a nice 1898 (only about 2.4 million minted) San Francisco mint Morgan Silver dollar, for $24, and i felt like it was really going out of my ballpark range in spending ,but i'm glad i bought it, as silver prices per ounce went way up, from $10 to nearly $30 in recent years, and that same coin now, sells for over $70. i'm so glad i bought it at $24 price in 2019 :) i'm gonna buy that 1886 Liberty V nickel,sometime soon, i just want to get the best deal for it :)



We're enjoying a super sweet day, with some of our favorite joys :) treats, nature, writing, and enjoying the awesome spirit of summer season :) my family, Holly, and i are doing well, and healthy :) i'm feeling like i'm getting my balance back with my focus, and taking good care of myself :) it was so ncie going out to get treats this morning, enjoying time in our garden, and writing too :) i'm very excited to be browsing some cool collectibles on ebay too, and looking forward to treating myself again very soon :) We've been enjoying some sports radio today, we're so glad it's back after the holiday weekend :) Tonight, Holly and i are gonna watch some fascinating lighthouses themed videos on youtube :) Tomorrow's super wednesday :) We look forward to mailing some cards here from home, and Holly and i are looking forward to our ghost hunters party :) i'm gonna continue to keep balanced with my days, and continuing to enjoy the simple joys that brings my heart peace, and happiness :) There's lots more great things to look forward too :) Thank you angel friends, so very much, for all that you do for us, for your wonderful love, care, support, warm well wishes, and for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers :) We deeply appreciate everything, with all of the love of our very happy hearts :) Big group happy sunny warm caring Sunflower friendship hug and Summer Smiles :) We wish everyone, a nice peaceful evening and night, and wishing everyone continued joys of the blossoming summer season :)
