Thankful to be doing some writing, day got better :) nature walks, checked in on plants :)

Happy Super Wednesday :) Taking a good day to write out feelings, emotions, and looking forward to it continuing to help both Holly and i with our balance, in the days ahead :) We spent some time in our yard and garden today, and looking forward to a peaceful, relaxing day tomorrow and getting ready for a fun baking friday, and continued focus on our peace, comfort, and lots of continued good care :) Enjoying our favorite simple joys from day to day :) i want to enjoy my hobbies more, from cards, coins, stamps, more writing too :)



Hi angel friends :) my family, Holly, and i hope everyone is doing well, healthy, and enjoying a nice day :) We love hearing from you, and we think of you all often :) Thank you for your comforting care, uplifting support, and for always being here for us :) it means the world to us :) i'm very glad, and thankful i did some writing this morning, sharing about some feelings, emotions, and how both Holly and i are gonna work very hard on financial situations, to ensure we're financially stable, secure, and also making sure we put our own financial needs first :) it's been comforting being able to write. sometimes the days, or times can be a bit too much, and i'm very thankful i can write here in my journal



i'm feeling better about things, since i wrote this morning, and also talking with Holly :) my mom ended up giving my brother a call, and talked with him. he's been distant lately from all of us, and it's caused some worries and concerns, since he owes me a very good amount of money. i'm relieved my mom was able to contact him, and to get some information, that he's gonna be stopping by here on friday with the first of 3 payments, which will go a long way in helping both Holly and i to feel financially stable again. we've been very patient with things, and have been very helpful of my mom and dad, and our home. Holly gives my parents a check each month, a very generous amount. my mom and dad mentioned about utilities bill, and how being fronted that money Holly is giving them, would be helpful. both Holly and i agreed, it would be fine to front that money (from some cash i have), to help my parents with the bill, and Holly will write that check out to me, so i can put the money in my bank account savings. Holly gives my parents a check each monday, since she's moved here with us :)



my parents did go to other family members to borrow the remaining amount, it's a relief, and takes stress off of my shoulders, that they are gonna be ok, and have enough.like i wrote earlier, i helped with saving our house, with a huge property tax bill that came out to a total of $9,234 in late april. it's from back taxes my dad owed, and it kept going on, and when he skipped the december and february payments, the place in our city was very upset, and he and my mom needed to pay the full balance, to make everything square again. i'm proud i could help,. i just have some issues with o ther family members coming at me, for money. i know Holly and i are gonna work on things when it comes to being tougher, stronger with our stance, when it comes to our finances. it's been a rough year for the whole family, but the financial strain upon me, really has affected me a lot since early april, enough that it's caused me to have deep bouts of stress, anxiety, and worry. i'm done with it, and want family to respect both Holly and i more, and our wishes to be able to allow ourselves, to have financial security. like i mentioned earlier, this is last time i'll help my brother, with money since he's really not communicated much with me at all, and it's definitely an over-reach by him, as Holly and i need our money too.



This afternoon, Holly and i went outside into our garden, checked in on our plants, enjoyed a nature walk, and we even put Ghost hunters on today. it's been a whirlwind of emotions lately, but we'll find a good balance again with our days, and everything. We're looking forward to resting more tomorrow, and gonna get ready for a full baking friday adventure in the upcoming days :) i will definitely keep everyone updated, and will write about anything financial, when i really need too. this is one of those days, where i really neded too write, as my emotions have been tail spinning lately and i've tried hard to keep things bottled up, but it's been too much, and i'm so thankful and relieved to have my DS journal to write in, and wonderful friends around the world i can reach out too :) Tiger girl spent time with Holly and i today, and we're gonna go into a nice new day tomorrow, and each day we want to take some good positive steps, to getting further away from the stress, anxiety, and worry, that financial situations our family have had, and to be able to live our days more comfortably, and how we would like too :)We're keeping strong, but also making sure we set some good boundaries in the near future, to ensure that the path back to full peacefulness, can be a foundation of comfort, we strive to be able to enjoy each day, sharing in our days, and seasons with everyone :)
