Life really doesn't seem fair at times, I'm especially reminded of this at Christmas time.
This week I will visit my parent's grave site and wish them a Merry Christmas. The tears will flow and emotions will run from anger to heartbreak. One can only pray they will be there to console me. I miss them so very much. 💔
I've since adjusted my thoughts to focus on all the things I have to be thankful for. The little things we take for granted every day. The job I have, my healthy, beautiful children, my morning coffee, my warm bed, my paycheck. I don't take these these for granted.
Sometimes we have to dig deep and find the silver linings when everything around us seems to be falling apart. It's not always easy, but it's important to stay focused on what we do have, not what we've lost or don't have.
Many of you here have been such a light in my life. Whether it be a compliment, a sarcastic remark, or a silly gif. I just want to thank you (you know who you are) all and take this time to wish you all the beauty of the holiday season. ❤️ I appreciate you all.
It may not mean much (or it might), but please reach out and talk to one of us (or me) if you need to.
Your words are inspirational and remind me that I, too, have things to give thanks for. Gratitude and love are great practices, but not always easy so to have gentle reminders from others is always appreciated.

Now I have Elvis Blue Christmas stuck in my head...
It's funny how songs like that help to process it all out...
They're always with you hun ❤️...
And it will get easier... Share those fond memories and lessons you've learned from them with your kids...
And one day when you're gone, your kids will play Blue Christmas and idolize you to their kids...
Or at least this is my plan 🤷🏽♂️😂...7 -
@Kashmir_314, @KosmosKitten
I wanted to tell you that your posts have really resonated with me these past few days.
Sometimes it can be really hard to see the happy and good when there is just so much crap happening. Especially when it's ripe and right there in front of your face, stinking up the place.
But... It doesn't mean the happy isn't still there. The blessings are still there. And you both remind me to go search it out, aggressively if/when I need to.
Sending you both big hugs, and gratitude, and hope for a lot more sunshiney happy days (for us all). ❤️

Hair dyes.
I'm going to dye my hair soon, maybe tomorrow but I'm undecided on the color.4 -
ALSO,
When you're in public and you cough do you...
1. Still cover your mouth with your hand even though you have face mask on
Or
2. You have a face mask on so why should you double cover....
Clearly these are drunken thoughts 😆4 -

Your hair is beautiful - peek-a boo- red or purple or blue?
Caramel balayage would be be pretty too
You have pretty hair - so whatever you choose will be pretty!4 -

I always cough or sneeze into the crook of my elbow.
It’s good form.5 -

Thank you for answering my drunken induced question 😂🤦♀️2 -
The 21st is the best day to start something new that you want to be successful in so remember that.5

Youtube can take you on quite the journey, no reasonable direction. I started with Shakira, went to pole-dancing, then Imagine Dragons, and Leona Lewis. It's Sunday, what else is there to do?

Robbers must be underwhelmed by organized minimalists. There's so little to rummage through and what little there is would be in curated and labeled fabric boxes 🤷🏿♀️5

Oh lord, I really need to clean and do laundry and grocery shop. And I hate it.
I need my kids to help, but I still need to harass them to get it done. And I don't like that.
Why can't someone else be the adult in this home? 😂😭4 -

Well, to be fair, it's easy to be a minimalist when you set fire to all of your belongings every couple of years. 6

In the Welcome to Atlanta remix, was Diddy really the best available rapper to rep NYC? I'm still bitter about that.2

I’d agree with you there. But what is minimalism to you? I don’t see it as the act of striving to have as little as possible just for the sake of having as little as possible2 -

Then what would it be? If you claim to be a minimalist i would think the very definition would be one that strives to have the minimum. Otherwise i dont think the title of minimalist would apply.6 -

Well, as is the case with many things, it’s subjective. I’m a minimalist. I have been my whole life. It doesn’t have all that much to do with the number of items I own. It has to do with how I relate to it. And in short, I don’t want it unless it’s useful or makes me happy. Stuff, especially in excess, greatly impacts my anxiety levels. Therefore, having less of it makes me a happier person6 -

Subjective? So you may very well be a minimalist....but with your line of thinking could a very wealthy person have the same mindset of only acquiring things that made them happy like Rolls Royce cars and helicopters? If they could own dozens of each but only chose one of each, are they minimalist? Does a minimalist like yourself relate to someone that could own 10 multi million dollar mansions only owning one?2 -

Sure. It’s a mindset. You don’t default to being a minimalist based on what you can afford. It’s not about restricting yourself either, imo. You can be a minimalist but still have hobbies or interests for which you accumulate things.
This is a completely unrelated example that I hope will illustrate my point: people have varying definitions of being content. Each person defines it their own way. If someone says they’re content, who’s to argue with them? I mean what would be the point?
I get what you’re saying. It seems a little brazen to call oneself a minimalist without knowing what it’s like to be unable to own much. But that’s like someone who can’t have kids being cynical that someone could claim to be content who doesn’t have kids or want kids.
Anyway, I was just interested to hear your take. Please don’t take any of this in a combative tone. I enjoy hearing your thoughts on things4
