    Farm Fresh Fall Tuesday Autumn & Maple Party

    Farm Fresh Fall Tuesday Autumn & Maple Party I am putting together this post especially for the Farm Fresh Linkup this week. I love the idea of celebrating autumn and maple.

    Aug 2019 Linkup Chronic Voice

    August Chronic Voice Linkup  I am linking up with the chronic voice community. We are writing about the prompts capturing, financing, controlling, exchanging and motivating. I spent a bit of time playing with graphics in Canva to try to express some of my thoughts via images. I am having trouble concentrating so finding words is difficult. Capturing I have been trying hard to capture the moments. The moments that I am feeling good. I am trying to capture a positive voice instead of spewing negative whining.

      July Prompts: Planning, Justifying ,Starting, Analyzing & Concluding  My summer so far has involved a lot of planning. Planning our vacation, planning my twins 17th birthday. Scheduling and planning doctor appointments.  Justifying to myself that it is okay to let the housework slide while I try to get my health issues under control. I feel guilty about that. I feel like I just need to toughen up and  get it done. Starting~ I start so many things and then feel guilty because I don’t feel well enough to finish them. Or I run out of time because of the…
