Behaviors

-

August 17, 2017: Mid-day thoughts. Everyone has a story. You don't know their story. However, you can influence it.
Today, I went to orientation for my new job. As I sat in orientation, we watched a very powerful, and slightly emotional video. It showed people of everyday life, coming into a store to shop. You don't know what is going on in that person's life right then. One person could be burying a loved family member. One person maybe a little old lonely lady. One person might be a new dad trying to figure out what kind of diapers to buy. Another person could be trying to work 2 jobs to go to college. Another person could be an empty nester expecting their kids to come home for a visit. I found this video to be very true. You don't know my story. Maybe I'm having a bad day. You come in, and you are mad because your product you bought was defective. You start yelling at me. After you leave, I might go to the back and start crying my head off. Did you make my day better? Did you get your problem solved by yelling at me? Was it my fault your product was defective? Did I personally make and build that product and make it defective? Did I check you out and ring up your purchases when you purchased the product? Did I break your defective product? NO! However, you found it to be best to yell at me.
I want to clarify to my reader's, no this did not happen to me. However, it has happened to people. Innocent people being yelled at or blamed for things out of their control. I understand, you are upset. Take a deep breath. Did this person you are yelling at cause your problems? Is this innocent person being unjustly yelled at and having their bad day get worse because you are mad? Is this innocent person being polite to you despite your rude behavior? Did that person solve your issue despite your behavior? I am guilty of this behavior myself, and I must be more diligent to make sure I'm not blaming, or causing more problems by yelling at you.  Just a little food for thought as you go about your busy day to day life.

Stressed beyond belief

-
January 12th: First of all, Happy New Year. I'm stressed beyond belief. I don't know what to do. I've had a migraine headache for over a week. Went to the Dr yesterday and the shot in my butt didn't help. My brother-in-law's health I feel like it continues to decline every week or at least something new pops up every week. If it's not his health it's something else that we have to deal with. I know this is life, but I can't keep on doing this at this rate. I need help. We need help. If it's not my brother-in-law, then it's something to do with the farm. If it's not that, it's something to do with us personally.  Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile but I haven't known what to even say for a long time now. It's like my creativity spark has just disappeared from me. I need prayers, positive vibes, and positive thoughts coming our way.  I just recently lost my Great Aunt, and growing up I always knew she'd die one day too, but j...

Family is Tough Sometimes

-
To my reader's, I thought I should come here and blog about recent events.  My brother-in-law has been diagnosed with stage 4 non-alcoholic liver disease aka NASH. I do feel like I know nothing about this horrible disease. However, I probably know more than you , my reader, just because I am learning about it as I go. He sleeps a lot due to the ammonia levels in his system.  He's extremely jaundice, which for anyone who doesn't know, he looks yellow, including the whites of his eyes.  Today seems to be a good day. He seems very alert and less confused than other times. Some days he is not alert, and can barely function.  We've called in hospice and he is currently under their care. I never thought I'd be 38 years of age and dealing with hospice for a brother! It's overwhelming to say the least. So much to do, learn and ask. We've received some great things from them to help him around the house to be independent. He is a guy that desires to be independent so...

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

-
December 30, 2017: On December 29, at 9:30 am, I started going to counseling and I saw a Dr. I'm being diagnosed with Bi-polar II. My moods have been very unstable recently. I'm being put on different medicine than I was before. I am waiting now for the pharmacy to locate and obtain gluten free medicine for me. I started group counseling today.  It's interesting to say the least. There are people in there that I can relate with very easily.  I hope this makes me not feel alone. I know I'm not, yet I feel like I am. I have my parents, and my 2 friends. Group counseling was tough cause my anxiety reared its ugly head a bit. It wasn't severe, just enough to make me feel uncomfortable. Men and women both. I sat between women to try to feel more comfortable. I wanted to run away and hide. Once I got home it calmed down. I want to get my agoraphobia under control when it comes to unfamiliar territory. I made a decision today to do the $1 a week savings plan as my New Yea...
