Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and half the week is gone. My birthday was Monday and I got to spend the afternoon doing whatever I wanted since I took half a day from work. It was nice. I relaxed at home and then went to the Library and got a couple of books. I am really looking forward to reading those books. They are going to help with my mental health. I am sure of it. I have reached my membership exceeds requirements, which makes me super happy. I was required to get 60 memberships this year to get a Fully Met on my annual review. If I get 115% higher than that I would get an exceeds requirement. Well the 115% puts me at 69 memberships for the year and yesterday I hit 69 memberships for the year. Well I am still going too. I am not stopping getting those memberships. I want to get as many as I can. I know I can do it and I am going to do it. It will help my raise and my bonus at the beginning of next year. They actually give you the whole year to reach your goal so then they do your review the next year. I am not sure when, but today I am going to ask and see when that is going to happen. I am excited for the exceeds requirements score. I have it with memberships now, and autobill, and referrals. I just need to get my approved credit cards on track. I have 4 and I need 3 more to get exceeds with that. So I think I am doing really well. I just have to push the credit card as much as I can.

@cormierannie - what was your costume that you wore? Did you watch a Halloween movie or just any movie? Joe and I have been watching Halloween Town and Twitches this week. We are thinking of hitting some other ones after these but we will have to look and see which ones are out there.
@Evamutt - Yesterday was a great day here too. It was warm at sunny outside. I actually turned the air on in my car after work on the way home. I am really going to miss the warmer weather. I don't mind the snow that comes to Michigan ever year I do mind the extremely cold temps that come with it. I need to get some better gloves and a good hat to keep me warm.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

@Tabatha_Cain : my costume was a pirate.
Good afternoon, everyone! It's a mostly cloudy day here today. My daughter says hello to all. She's working at her part time job today. I went for a short run earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. I'll be going for a walk after lunch. I'll be doing some dancing later on. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.

Diane glad family is safe. That is a scary situation. Hope they find him soon.
Not much new here. Have a good rest of the day.

THANKS! @Kurtize @Tabatha_Cain I keep checking to see if he's been found. Indeed Tabatha clearly has quite the mental illness, but this was planned out. At any time He could have called 911 and said what he was planning on doing. but instead, he chose to go through with a plan. It was youth night at the bowling alley. The poor kids.

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday. I have a wedding to go to and I have a tree trimmer coming this morning before the wedding. So much to do. I am taking photos for the wedding. I hope my battery lasts. I think it will but we will see. Today has been a really good morning. I want everyone to know I am sorry if I offend anyone but having family that has suffered from serious mental illness I tend to see things differently than most people. So I do not want to offend anyone with my posting and if I do I am sorry.

@Dianedoessmiles1 - I completely agree that it is a tragedy and I feel so sorry for those children in the bowling alley. I know that the shooter is not blameless; however, they are saying that they knew in his military basic training that he was hearing voices and having issues. Why would they continue to train him to be a firearms trainer if they knew he was having mental issues. Then there is that I heard he left a letter for his child. So again he had a relationship with someone what left him. She knew something was wrong and left him rather than try and get him to seek help. People with that type of mental illness typically fear the police and are not going to call them and say they are planning to do something because with their mental illness they feel justified in what they are planning. Yes what he did was horrible It is a huge tragedy. It is also a tragedy that that man suffered for years with a mental illness and no one in his family tried to help. They say he spent 2 weeks in a mental institute. Well that is only long enough for an evaluation. Not treatment. I know because several of my family members suffer from mental illness. One pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head in front of his mother. His immediate family knew he was bi-polar and never tried to get him help. They just kept telling him it would be ok. That is why I am so strong in the notion of therapy and helping those with mental illness. You have to help them if you suspect there is an issue. Most people are not going to get help on their own because society has told them to be strong and be tough.
@Kurtize - I always feel better after a walk. I think it is the endorphins that make me feel good. Either way I will take it.

Again I am sorry if I have offended anyone. That was not my attempt at all. I just want to help people see that people with mental illness are victims as well. Not to the caliber those he shot are, but when you can see a point in history that he could have gotten help if someone had acted and tried. Then that person is also a victim.

I hope you all have a great day.

Happy Saturday. Tabitha I hope no one was offended. Unfortunately, we do not have the facilities to help disturbed persons. My nephew had Schizophrenia and bipolar. When on medication did great when he went off he became violent. Sadly, unable to deal with this he committed suicide but luckily he didn't kill anyone else. Sad world at times.

Have a great rest of the day and weekend, and a very productive new week.

Today's affirmation

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday and Joe and I have church this morning. He again is on cameras and I am in with the 1st graders today. Yesterday was my nephews wedding and I took photos for their wedding. I am looking forward to getting them all edited and then being able to show them their photos. Some of them my camera glitched and some of them were just a bit out of focus and I cannot figure out how to get them fixed. I will figure it out though. I am gonna try anyways. Also having trouble with my program getting it to remove the red eye. I am doing what the tutorial says to do but it is not working. So that is fun

@Kurtize - I wish we had the facilities. So many people could be helped and even more lives would be saved.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - That is so true. We are living in some unprecedented times.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

Tabatha

Good afternoon 😊. It's raining on and off in 40s and I am loving it 😊

I have found another video from the same two therapists that helps with posture

@Kurtize, my son made his own journey and left this planet two years ago. Feels like yesterday in ways. Sorry about your nephew. My sister was devastated, too. Yes, the world is full of mental illness. Some exacerbated by drugs and alcohol, sadly. 😔

Good evening, everyone! It's a cool day here today. My daughter says hello to all. She worked at her part time jobs today. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I went for a short run earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. I went for a walk after lunch and I feel great! I'll be doing some dancing later on. I went to the Art 🎨 drop in program at the building that's close to mine and I really enjoyed it. Have a great night, everyone! Take care and stay safe.

@Tabatha_Cain WOOHOO!! WOW!! Hey GREAT JOB!!!
