What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?
I guess, I go to the doctor.
I sorta follow instructions give by said doctor.
I take the medication that’s been prescribed for me
I drink water; not a ton, mind you, but I do drink the water.
A long time ago, I used to drink A LOT of Coca-Cola (like a 6pk a day), but I’ve been stopped doing that. Now, I only drink like 1 or 2 a day. And sometimes, I’ll skip a day.
Aside from that, I generally just use good common sense and judgment on eating, exercise, and mental consciousness.
It can be real easy to let things get out of hand with your health and mental health, so it is imperative that you keep it up. For your sake.
The song(s) playing on my radio … AND in my head …
That still small voice that might (or might not) be my conscience (it could be God) …
Other things going on around me … (like lawn mowers, nature, cars passing by)
Other people talking (that was when I was working)
I listen to EVERYTHING because I am always SO grateful that God has continued to bless me with the ability to hear. So, I take it all in as music to my ears.
Always thankful, even if some of it might distract me, or get on my nerves, or confuse me (cuz I was minding somebody else’s business…lol) or whatever.
I listen to it all.
It is Monday afternoon, and I am out like the lights! Y’all have a beautiful day/night/week.
But, here are a few things I know to be certain in life. (It is not required that you agree with me, but do not “come for me” negatively in the comments if you do not.)
God is real, and you are ALWAYS on His mind.
The only things that are ABSOLUTELY necessary to do in this life is breathing to live and dying. Everything else in between is just options and choices. (Take that how you will.)
And, nothing can be done until you start it, and it is not ever over till there’s nothing left to give to it. I’on care nothing about “the fat lady singing” … she just want some damn attention cuz that’s what SHE chose to do.
And those are the things that I know are certain in life: God. Breathe. Death. And, “Get’er done!”
It’s Monday, 7/14/25. It’s been thundering (again 😢), and now it raining. I’m gonna read my book for a while and decide if I’m going to do something else later. You all have a terrific day!
When we are younger, we (mostly) feel like we’ve got all the time in the world, a whole life of time ahead of us, to do what folk tell us is important.
But, in my opinion, as we start to get older, I feel like we start to understand and appreciate that time is actually a finite commodity and we start to appreciate it more.
Some of us will start setting necessary boundaries with our time with our own people, friends, families, and associates.
Some of us will start to appreciate our time so much that we limit how much of it we give away to any and everyone.
Some of us never learn what that appreciation even feels like and end up wishing we’d taken the time to appreciate those downtime moments.
Let us not fall into that last category and take time to appreciate the time we have.
It IS just like clean air: ignore it, and it will go away.
I’m out like the lights! It’s officially another weekend, enjoy!!
What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m such a loner.
I’m such a “say what you mean to say” type of person.
Apparently, being these two types of ways, *mostly*, means, I’ll end up by myself and alone.
For the sake of harmony and “keeping the peace,” I’ll gladly give up having to constantly be around other people.
I’ve always wondered why *I* have to be the one to watch what I say, but others feel as if they can talk just as recklessly around/about/to me as they want.
Why do I have to be mindful of how what I say to someone will make them feel, but none ever seems to consider MY feelings when they are conversing with me?
I don’t know. But, to keep the pece and leave things as harmonious as possible, I am gonna stay at my house. By myself.
They can stay away.
I’d gladly give up the constant need for in-person *persons*.
LOL
Let me get my day started. Y’all have a wonderful Monday. I’m out like the lights!
But I love music that speaks to me or just sounds good.
Probably, my least listened to genre would be that screaming, “head-banging,” doesn’t really sound like real words are being said, electric guitar sounds like metal on chalkboard, Rock music.
I’ll stay away from that (and foreign music) because I don’t know what’s being said, and that bothers me.
God is good, and I’m out like the lights! Have a great Sunday.
I don’t do anything work-related if I don’t want too.
And it feels so good to be able to say that and it be true!
But, if I’m gonna be for real, I am still doing my #Etsy stuff; I just haven’t put in any work yet.
I know I need to do so, but I kinda played myself by going to a different eye dr than my usual one and now, I can’t really see the small stuff right now.
And not being able to see things CLEARLY is such a huge deterrent to wanting to do anything.
(This sounds like SUCH an excuse. Cuz I made a similar excuse when I was working about being too tired and burnout from working on the computer at work to wanna do it at home. And it might be.)
I kinda wonder if I actually DO still wanna do the whole ETSY thing.
I mean, I like being able to create pretty jewelry, but since I rarely get visits to my Etsy shop (http://mydesignsbylala.etsy.com) I don’t get very many sales (none since March). And it is really starting to feel like ‘is it really worth it’.
I wonder if I should think about something else? But I don’t wanna do anything else. I have no desire, or passion, for anything else.
Hopefully, I’ll get my contacts tomorrow and I’ll be able to get back into my craft room and see where things and I stand.
In the meantime, I have been LOVING not doing anything at all but reading, crocheting, and sitting on my porch.
I hope y’all are having a great Sunday afternoon! I’m out like the lights!

Life is a patchwork of moments — laughter, solitude, everyday joys, and quiet aches. Through scribbled stories, I explore travels both far and inward, from sunrise over unfamiliar streets to the comfort of home. This is life as I see it, captured in ink and memory. Stick around; let's wander together.
