Two Frogs

Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl, 
One was an optimistic soul;
But the other one took a gloomy view,
"I shall drown, he cried, "and so will you."
So with a last despairing cry, he closed his eyes
and said "Good-bye"
But the other frog, with a merry grin said
"I can't give out but I won't give in!
I'll swim around till my strength is spent.  
For having tried, I'll die content."
Bravely he swam until it would seem
His struggles began to churn the cream.
On the top of the butter at last he stopped And
out of the bowl he happily hopped.

What is the moral?  It's easily found
If you can't get out --keep swimming around!

This is one of my all time favorite poems.  I had it on the wall when I was grooming for my dad, I found it in the kitchen today on a chair.  It really hit home as one of the other people in our group just won't give an effort to make changes in her way of thinking of anything and it totally breaks my heart, she has SO many people who are worried about her and are concerned about her.

So I'm having a reaction to the Trazadone/Seroquel combo, I woke up the past 2 days so drugged, and drowsy I literally had to lean up against the shower wall and I still felt like sh#$.  But I talked with my psych today and she told me to take 1/2 doses and then gradually take more as my body gets used to them.  We shall see, that is one feeling I do NOT like is that 'high' feeling where I don't feel in control of my body.  BLECH!  Not for me.

I have a lot to post but it is 2:30am and I am heading to bed....not manic...well maybe a little....Rob bought me some toys as an early birthday/christmas present....I'll share more on that tomorrow.

Saturday 9: Good Morning, Heartache

Trying another new thing called Saturday 9, it can be found here:  http://samanthasaturday9.blogspot.com 1) Do you come up with your brightest ideas early in the morning or late at night?   I would say that I am most creative later in the evenings 2) Are you more likely to feel romantic at night or in the morning?  Depends on the day :-), but usually at night 3) Do you shower in the morning, after work or before bed?   I shower in the mornings, it helps wake me up 4) Billie Holiday was just 44 when she died. Is there an artist whose early demise surprised and saddened you?   Not an artist but Heath Ledger's death really shocked me and took me by surprise.  He is one of my all time favorite actors. 5) Billie was known as "Lady Day." Do you have a cool nickname? (If not, feel free to give yourself one right now.)   No cool nicknames, as a kid I was "Woodie or Fruitcake".....don't ask LOL 6) When was the last time you had the blues?   ...

🌿 CBD and Hormones: What Every Woman Should Know

  Posted in The Wellness Den | June 14, 2025 Let’s be real: being a woman comes with a lot of hormonal ups and downs. Mood swings. Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep issues. And don’t even get me started on the perimenopause rollercoaster. Whether you’re in your 20s or late 40s (like me!), hormones influence everything —your energy, mood, digestion, skin, cycle, and emotional balance. But here’s something most women don’t hear enough: CBD can help. Not as a magic pill or miracle cure—but as a powerful tool that supports your body’s natural rhythms and helps bring balance when everything feels off. 💛 What Happens When Hormones Are Out of Whack? When estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones get thrown off, you may feel: Anxious or irritable Wired but tired Struggling with sleep or concentration Sluggish digestion or metabolism Cravings, mood dips, and PMS from another planet Sound familiar? Now enter: your Endocannabino...

Who Are you?

Sunday stealing  Who Are you? Part 7 – It is Over!  Part 7: Self Image 84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you:   I wake up at 6:00am, take a shower, get ready for the day, then I go downstairs and feed the critters, and make breakfast for hubby and I.  We usually leave the house by about 7:30ish and I drop my husband off at work.  Then I work (I'm a Pet Groomer) until about 3:30 or 4:00ish then I leave for home and go get my hubby from work.  Then I come home and make dinner, feed the critters, work on cleaning the house a little and we usually head to bed about 8:30ish or 9:00. 85. What is your greatest strength as a person?   I am a very compassionate and have a big heart 86. What is your greatest weakness?   Interrupting people when they are talking 87. Are you going to run for President in 2016?   Nope, I don't care about politics all that much 88. Are you generally self-contained? No, I do like to talk, except t...
