December 2015 – In Sync With The Universe

Day 30 & 31 Last Positive Afirmations

The last day of 2015, yippee, no not really, slow down time you are going to fast for me.

A quote I found on facebook, and shared on my facebook and now here:

“I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help. There is no mistaking love…it is the common fiber of life, the flame that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives.”
-Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

I am not sure if i mentioned it here, but I signed back up for plenty of fish. I hope to make the most of 2016. I want more fun, and of course more love and no more loneliness. My only resolution is to be more positive. That is really big for me after living for 52 years as woe is me. Woe is me no more. Go me.

According to the nursery rhyme, Wednesday’s child is full of woe. I was born on a Wednesday (I just looked it up). My d-i-l and I just looked up this rhyme as my grandson was born on Wednesday too. I said his life will not be full of woe. Mine was only full of it because I let be that way.

Days 27, 28, & 29 Positive Affirmations

My grandson, less than 3 weeks old.

I am exhausted from driving. I made it back home before the snow then ice storm. I loved spending a couple days staring at my grandson. I got to hold him a few times. He does not sleep much, he spends most of his time trying to eat or getting his diapers changed. I think he grew overnight.

Since I was gone a few days, I will give three affirmations. All found on twitter:

“I am meant to be very different from everyone else. This releases the burden of feeling like I have to be someone other than me”

“I am open and receptive to all the good and abundance. Thank you, Life. ~Louise Hay”

“I am a strong, capable person who gets things done!”

I really need the last one today. I am not feeling very strong. I hope going back to sleep for awhile helps.

Day 26 Positive Affirmations My Baby’s 16th Birthday

A pic of the birthday boy a few summers ago. He has grown more than a few inches, a mustache, and serious personality.

Today he wants pizza, carrot cake, and has been waiting to see the Star Wars movie, so he has not changed completely. I need to bake the cake soon.

A quote that is also positive; “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”- Theodor Seuss Geisel

Today is a new chance to start fresh.

Day 25 Positive Affirmations, Merry Christmas

lacking pics still so shared a youtube video

I made some banging baked ziti last night, I ate three bowls full. I hope everyone is happy and well fed today. I found this on twitter from NASA:

“On Christmas, your belly won’t be the only thing that’s full. Rare full moon will be visible.”

So don’t forget to view the moon tonight. The best things in life are free.

Todays affirmation, I also found on twitter, but I hear it often and believe in it:

“Be the change you want to see in others:)”

Positive Affirmation for Christmas Eve

This blurry pic was taken in Boston a year or two ago.

Finally it is Christmas Eve, I can not wait until the 27th. Christmas will be past and my son’s birthday over and we will be on our way to see my grandson again.

My headache that lasted for days seems to be finally over. I am going to be very careful with my sodium intake until New Year’s Eve. The weather is just gorgeous today. People are complaining because it is not snowing. They can suck it, I love that we have had no snow yet. I feel like it is my gift from the Universe. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Today and tomorrow I am staying home. If I go out driving it will be for looking at Christmas lights and giving my dog a ride in the car for a treat. No stores for two days, another gift to myself. I hope to get updated pics finally. The amount of sunlight per day will get longer, yippee. Enjoy a full moon this Christmas! Last one was 1977, & there won’t be one again until 2034. More gift’s from the Universe. I love it.

How perfect is today’s positive affirmation from Twitter?:

I gratefully accept all the health, wealth and happiness that the universe pours into me every day.

Take care of yourself the best that you can. Be ready to accept all these positive gifts from the Universe. Have a calm and peaceful Christmas Eve, wether you are religious or not (I am not), good food and good cheer are always welcome.

Day 23 of Positive Affirmations

Look at this NASA site for beautiful pictures of our universe. http://nasa.tumblr.com/post/135735871674/holiday-lightsin-space

I am feeling a little bit better today, but still taking it easy.

Happy Festivus for the Rest Of Us!!! It is also known as Christmas Eve Eve…..Do you celebrate festivus? comment below if you do

Time for the airing of grievances: I have none today, why? because I no longer give a crap about things that take away my good mojo.

This is the affirmation that I found on Twitter:

“I am calm and centered. I feel totally at peace with myself and everyone else”

If you are not calm and centered, look at the NASA tumbler pictures, we are all made out of this same stuff. If that does not work, air your grievances below. I am not doing feats of strength, the stroke won on that one.

Back to Positive Affirmations

School artwork done by my son, many years ago. I have not taken any new pics in awhile.

I went away for the weekend. Had a Christmas celebration with my Mom, sister and niece. My sister likes to shop and give out gifts. My mom likes to cook big dinners. We had some laughs and my sister used her nice unbroken camera to take pics. I hope to see these pics someday, sometimes it takes years to even see them.

Sorry I did not post after getting back home. I have had one of the worst headaches ever in my life. I am not sure if it is the worst, because I only feel it on half my head. I should probably go to the ER or doctor if it keeps on. It seems to be getting better by feeling less intense.

Today’s affirmation:

“I see only goodness and happiness in life.”

This is easy to do this time of year. I have been watching clips from Ellen, YouTube, and reading the posts on the facebook group assist, which is an open group if you want to check it out. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1095295777161874/ This is a public group was started by a fellow stroke survivor, to share good “positive” things of people helping other people. This is his description ; “Not Isis, Assist! I want to build am army of love who perform random acts of heroism and post it here for the world to see because we need to showcase that there is much more love than hate. Let’s go viral!” Feel free to join, its public, to just view or share positive things you see going on.

I also will be binge watching some comedy on Netflix. I hope to feel a lot better before my son’s 16th birthday on the 26th. He is waiting until then to go see Star Wars. We then will be going down to stay with my son and new grandson a few days. I hope this unseasonably warm weather holds on a while longer. I had to drive an hour or so in a lake effect snow storm to go up north to my Mom’s. Here we have no snow on the ground, and my mom only had an inch or two. Where my dog decided she needed to go out to pee had about a foot.

Day 18 of Positive Affirmations

First a quote “Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions.” Tony Robbins

My problem is I am trying to identify my problems…lol. My head is killing me today. I only slept about an hour. My head is still “ringing” either from my recent past emotional rollercoaster or too much caffeine yesterday. I had one cup of tea and one cup of hot chocolate, so one too many.

Todays positive affirmation, I actually made up myself for once:

I will move forward. onward to a better future. There is always good days ahead.

It’s 2:33 AM. I am letting off steam

Right now my heart is racing, I am no longer shaking. I starting shaking when I read the guy that broke up with me is now in a relationship. I am so hurt, I have been hurt for awhile. I poured so much energy into what I thought was the love of my life.

I am wondering if I will ever find somebody that loves me…for more than a month or year…I want someone forever. I want to learn what I am doing wrong. I have asked, and got no answers. I love myself. I know I will not meet anyone staying home about 99% of the time.

So I am not a big believer in horoscope, but for shizz and giggles I recently signed up for a daily horoscope to be sent to my inbox. This was todays:

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a mounting tension that, if you let build without release, could be destructive. Let off steam periodically throughout the day. By the way, you could use a few more tools for stress relief in your arsenal.

I was actually told in rehab that one of my contributing factors to my stroke was I did not deal with stress well. I think I am dealing with this recent stress just fine. The shaking and heart racing thing scares me. WTF. I guess I need to stop thinking all together to be happy.

Day 17 Positive Affirmations

I apologize for todays bad picture. I seriously need to take some new pics.

Todays positive affirmation is really needed by me today. It is again from Twiiter, that is full of awesome quotes and affirmations….
I will throw less curveballs in my life-I will create positive change

Today I hope to make positive steps for improvement. I need to push through the fatigue just a little more. I also need to take care of myself just a little more. I have gone without naps for a long time now. I vow to rest today, yet still get work done.
