Make your own happiness

Sorry I haven't been keeping up on the blog very much lately.  It's just sort of out of site, out of mind....I will try to do better, it's very therapeutic for me to get stuff out of my brain.  Things have been going extremely well lately, my anxiety is down quite a bit.  I am attributing it to me stepping outside of the box and doing things that aren't quite the norm for me as well as the L-Theanine supplement I have been taking.  I am still going to talk to my Psychiatrist about getting on medicine for it as I agree with my therapist but I don't see her for another month or so.

I have been exercising every day for the last 3 weeks and I must say if you have depression or bipolar, heck if you don't have either, exercise is CRUCIAL for stress relief and the key to a great mood!  My job isn't stressful per say but some days I come home exhausted mentally and just stressed a little, and the walking I have been doing helps get my mind off of things.  I listen to music on my headphones or talk to my sister on the phone (we've reconnected as she now works where I do part time), so last night we talked for like 40 minutes while I was getting my exercise in.  The exercise super helps me.  I walk 2 miles on my long work days and 3.5 miles or more on my short work days and days off.  So far this month I have walked over 40 miles, which to me is a great accomplishment for someone who has bipolar and depression and hates exercise.

Exercise is something that I am beginning to look forward to and something that is a 'MUST' for me now.  It's amazing to realize that it is becoming part of who I am, that it is making me a better person, my hubby likes it because it puts me in a better mood lol.  My moods have been somewhat stable, I have had a few down episodes mostly about those darn baby blues.....I'm 37 and no kids yet, and some days it feels like it's never going to happen and that makes me sad.  Don't get me wrong I love my fur kids (dogs and cats), but my arms ache for a skin kid so badly.  Hopefully one day it will happen.  Anyways that's all I wanted to say for today.  Will try to be more regular about posting.

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. 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.

🌿 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...
