Recognizing signs of child’s anxiety

Originally posted 2017-08-19 14:39:16. My son has anxiety. It is far more than just a bit of worry that can be soothed away with some reassuring words of encouragement. It plays a big part in his life, and it is important we take it seriously. His worries seemed to grow as he was growing up. But at the time we didn’t realize all the different behaviors we saw were driven by his anxiety. And the more…

Crazy dream

Originally posted 2020-04-07 09:09:44. Well, hello there! Hope you are having a safe Tuesday morning with all this craziness around us. I had a crazy dream last night. In my dream it seemed as if we were still living in Marine Corps base housing and we were out for an evening walk. It wasn’t late but the sun has already gone down. The streets were well lit so it wasn’t exactly dark. It was me,…

It was sadness, grief, anger, and desperation. I feel so lost.I don’t know what to do… 😪😪😪

Strength

I was listening to a live on Tiktok and for some reason when I saw this meme the live came to mind. They were talking about many things but one thing I referring to is struggling can sometimes make you appreciate things more. Going without can make someone appreciate having things more. Someone being given everything in life will never fully appreciate working for it and paying for it themselves. I had a conversation with…

Worried Tears

Originally posted 2020-01-13 18:00:01. I have back surgery in the morning. 5:30am check-in. I could use your prayers. This is my 25th (or 26th I lost count) surgery and I am more nervous about this one than any of them. Maybe it’s me getting older or the fact that I buried my dad Nov 2017, my mom June 2018, my husband’s dog Charlie Feb 2019, & just a couple of weeks ago my nephews CJ…

Should I be alarmed

… it’s Monday, what else is new? It’s raining here. I so suck at driving in the rain for some apparent reason. It’s my eyes.

Anywho (or as my niece has been saying.. anywhore, I don’t know where she got that from…
