The Beauty Of Growing Older
Be true to what you want. What you need. How you feel and who you are. Always 💗
Haunted House...Well Sort Of...Halloween Fun
I picked up this kit. I figured it would be a fun craft to do with the kids. Before I know it there was candy everywhere.
It was easier to use regular icing to build the house. I then split up the candy and added some more snacks I had. I made the icing orange and spread it all over the house. The kids were free to decorate it however they wanted.
They loved it and it was a lot of fun to do together.
Now the trick is to keep it for a couple of days without them eating it.
Kidzfest 2019
I love touch a truck events. You normally pay a fee to get in or some ask you to donate food. There are trucks everywhere. The kids can go in the cars and check them out. They have entertainment, food trucks, face painting, games etc...
They are always my favorite festivals to go to with the kids.
So I took my girls and one of their friends to the one today at Taylor farms in Norwalk. It was so much fun.
Towns normally have these events now until mid November. Be sure to check them out. It’s really a lot of fun.
The Healing Journey
It’s easy to talk about after you have healed but when you’re going through it nothing about it is easy. Nothing. And so you distract yourself or pray or stay busy. You don’t slow down. Slowing down means you have to think. When you think you hurt.
But then something happens to you. You wake up and say not today. Today I want to be happy and not sad. I want to just live a good happy life. Slowly you get your wish and you do live a good happy life.
And scars from the pain remain. Those don’t ever go away fully. They gradually piece themselves back together through love from family and friends and companions. In time you piece yourself back together. You enjoy life again. You love again. You are happy again.
So if you’re dealing with pain or healing I wish you strengthen. I have been there many times. I am
proof that you do shine bright after you have healed. Trust your process. Ask for help. Distract yourself with those who love you. Take your time to piece yourself back together. Do know it’s ok to be a little broken still. Don’t allow the pain to resurface. If it does feel, heal, move on.
Our journey isn’t meant to be easy. Our journey is meant to teach us lessons. Some really hard, dark, painful ones. But then beauty comes out of it.
