Measuring Up

Such an awesome quote.  We need to measure our own progress and our own abilities rather than compare ourselves to someone else.  Everyone has their own unique challenges and issues that they have been dealt in this life, it's up to us to measure our own progress and see how far we have come.  I know for me I have gone from being a cranky, bitchy, onery person to one who has love in her heart daily, and one who has been able to be happy, I no longer snap at my husband for stupid things and no longer get offended if he asks me to get him something or do something for him.  The past 2 years prior to August were very hard on our relationship and we are continually trying to improve things now.  No one ever wants to hear the "D" (Divorce") word when you are married to the one you love, but that's where my relationship was headed.  It scares me to no end to think that because I let my disease become the better of me and didn't get/seek help that I almost lost my husband.  I love him so very much.  We have been married almost 8 years now, and I am glad to say our relationship is golden now.  We constantly work on things.  Yes we could have a better sex life, but who couldn't?  LOL!

As far as my diet coke habit is going....still drinking it, trying not to drink as much, but I am addicted plain and simple.  I just need to buck up and quit drinking it, I have quit so many times in the past, and was doing really good, but stress always gets the better of me.  I know I know, I shouldn't let it get to me, but somedays life gets the better of me and I just 'have' to get my fix.

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?   ...

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.

🌿 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...
