Whats your favorite way to spend the day?
Outdoors at the park with my granddaughters
What would you tell your childhood self?
You matter.
What is the best advice you have ever been given?
It's ok to let people help you.
@affectionateNorth4018 hello, good to see you today North! Thanks for stepping by.
spending your day outside with your granddaughters sounds really lovely indeed. I am glad to hear that you seem to get along very well with them and bond with them.
I love your advice. It is more than okay to let people help us... it seems really scary to seek support from others but in the end we are just humans and seeking support is not a sign of weakness, but of strength and aknowledge.
You definitely do matter dear. Your emotions matter, your opinions matter, your beliefs matter.
Thank you for checking in with us. Have a lovely day ahead.
@AveryLove Hi Avery! I love listening to the rain as well!
Whats your favorite way to spend the day? I love being able to sit down for a little while and watch TV with my husband... He always finds a way to make me laugh and I love him so much!
What would you tell your childhood self? Relax... take it easy and breathe girl!!!
What is the best advice you have ever been given? Don't give a second thought to people who speak negatively about you... chances are those people hate themselves more than anything or anyone else.
@baylinAnderson123 Hey Baylin! Good to see you today.
Thats cool that you enjoy the sound as well...its so calming, right??
watching TV with your husband and spending time with him in general sounds really lovely and i am so glad to hear how he makes you feel!
Your advice is really inspirational. I experienced that people who hurt others, are hurt themselves, so i totally agree with you. And its important to focus on the people we feel great, loved and fully ourselves with. Thank you for sharing! Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead.
@AveryLove You are so right about how calming it is to listen to rain drops! I found myself just listening to it for an hour once! Thank you for your reply and I hope you have a beautiful weekend!
Whats your favorite way to spend the day? Baking, playing music, dancing as if no one is looking, as as my cookies or cake is cooling then write for hours with my friend.
What would you tell your childhood self? Read way more and always laugh (everyone likes your laugh)
What is the best advice you have ever been given? Follow your heart
