Today is an ordinary day
But things could vastly go astray
But if I could, oh, if I may
I would like some more coffee my way.
I know it is getting late,
But don’t you worry; I won’t hesitate,
To get the sleep I know I should take
When nighttime dreams emulate our wake.
Ah, sounds great!
MwsR ❤
Oh why, must my soul torture me
Where will it end?
I have paid so many debts for things done wrong.
So many trials and still I carry on.
I wonder will you still be there?
When things I keep buried, come up for air.
To think I am less of a righteous human
Sets my soul to burn
Constantly reminding me of the wrong things I have done.
I have asked for a lot of pardons, most of my life.
I never questioned the turn of forgiveness.
I wanted to know that I am worth forgiving
That I can sit where others do
And to know there still is some good
In me
Often times I feel un-worthy of love
Many times I struggle with it, I know, absurd.
When time comes for my life to be over
I want to walk those streets of gold
I just want my feet on the holy land
I want to see glory and feel that power.
Oh, am I too far gone?
Unforgiveable?
Please let my soul find peace!
Wrestling daily with my self
Has worn a hole in my heart.
Restless and still longing
Ultimate grief is mine.
I can not make anyone understand
It is not them, but me that I cannot stand next to
It is me that I cannot love
It is most definitely I, that I cannot trust.
If only…
Can a person find everlasting peace?
The cure for all that ails their heart.
I hope so, with barely enough hope to last
I wish for that cure, those cures
The ones that will last.

Cat owners should exercise caution when using essential oils. Phenols, a chemical group in thyme and oregano oils, monoterpene hydrocarbons in pine oils, phenylpropanes in basil and cinnamon, and many ketone oils including wormwood and pennyroyal should be avoided altogether.
Citrus oils like orange, lemon and grapefruit also spell bad news for cats. Other oils to avoid around cats include wintergreen, clove, birch, anise, hyssop, juniper, tansy and tea tree oil.
Cats aren’t the only pets that can have an adverse reaction to essential oils. Dogs can also be affected by some of the oils that are safe for use with humans. By and large, dog owners should avoid using anise, clove, juniper, thyme, wintergreen and yarrow essential oils around their fur babies. Garlic and horseradish essential oils can also cause a range of allergic responses.
Birds are particularly susceptible to fragrances from household chemicals and candles. So, it goes without saying that they can also be affected by essential oil diffusers as well. Some resources online note that cedarwood, citronella, pine and melaleuca are poisonous to birds, so if you own a bird, it might be best to avoid these.
Essential oils enter the bloodstream quickly through topical application, ingestion or inhalation. Even very small amounts can have a large impact on the body — human and animal alike.
The most important consideration is the type of oil you use. Many essential oils on the market are fragrance-grade and not therapeutic or medical grade oils. While Young Living and dōTERRA are not the only companies selling these high-quality therapeutic grade oils, they are reliable companies. In fact, Young Living provides a guide for using oils, but we encourage you to talk to your vet if you have any questions about the safety of essential oils. dōTERRA does not currently list animal information on its website, but many distributors claim they have safely used oils on and around their pets for years.
When introducing a new oil to your household, diffuse it for a short amount of time and pay careful attention to your pet. Make sure that the room is well ventilated and that your pet doesn’t stand directly next to or over the diffuser. Begin with essential oils that are assumed to be safe for short-term use like lavender or frankincense. Then, monitor your pet for a few hours to make sure they’re acting normally.
Dr. Roark suggests a water-based diffuser in an open room that animals can leave if they don’t like the smell. Use only three to four drops of the oil at a time to avoid over-exposure.
Stop diffusing the oil and open the windows if you notice your pet acting strangely. In severe cases, call or visit your vet to make share your furry friend receives the care they need to recover from the exposure.
It’s fairly easy to spot signs of poisoning in your cat or dog. In addition to a loss of appetite and trouble urinating, your pet may exhibit running eyes, vomiting, excessive panting, rubbing face, muscle tremors, diarrhea, rashes and drooling. Birds may experience wheezing, signs of dizziness and incoordination, weakness, anxiety, seizures or depression.
Common sense suggests that we would hear about essential oils poisoning more pets if they were highly toxic to our furry friends. But, since essential oils are a relatively new health trend, there’s an obvious lack of research on the topic. Be sure to talk to your vet before diffusing essential oils around your dog, cat or bird. Remember, what is safe for you may not be safe for Rover, Spot or Max.
Hey out there on the world wide web! Hope everyone is doing okay and feeling good, or at least trying their darn level best.
I thought I would write some about things that I have had on my mind. Everyone else seems to do that, so I said, “Why not?”

I am loving the days of sunshine around where I live. It is great to see and helps a person feel much better than a dreary rainy day. I have been preparing my garden area lately. I already have seedlings that have started sprouting. I am not sure if the chance of frost is a definitely thing of the past though. I have read where we, in my case, are going to see chilly weather, hopefully not freezing temperatures.
I really like getting my hands in the dirt and working the ground. It is something I contribute to my grandmother, whom I watch growing up as a kid. She could get anything to grow and much like her, so can I. I love the beautiful flowers as well as the vegetation and find that I am in my element when I am out in the dirt or planting something. I do not see much of an interest in two of my three kids but hopefully the one that seems interested, will find herself a lot like me in that department.
When a person finds something they are good at, they should delight in it and do that something with all the love and effort they have. I see our world so baffled with much of our stresses, instead of enjoying the things we really have reason to enjoy. Sure we are going to have rotten days and painful days and days when we wish to give up but mostly we have so many gifts we cannot see them for all those other things we are letting hold us down. I am guilty of this as well as the next person. Sometimes I think to myself how am I going to enjoy life again, and without warning it sneaks up on me and I find comfort in things again. That is not to say that I do not carry stress or burdens but I try not to let those dominate my whole life.
I know easier said than done sometimes. It really can happen though, give it a chance.

One thing a person must remember is that there is lots in life one can always find the thing that brings them comfort and joy, just might take some time.
I cannot wait to taste all the things I am going to plant this year. I hope to have enough to sustain my family once again, at least in vegetables.
So I think that is what I had mostly on my mind. Hope everyone enjoys this week. Thanks again for commenting, following, sharing my webpage and blog and I shall see you on this side of the rainbow!
Peace and love,
Michelle, aka MwsR

The letters signified by the signal ( . . . — . . . ) prescribed by the International Radiotelegraphic Convention of 1908 for use by ships in distress.
SOS was chosen as the universal distress signal because this combination of three dots followed by three dashes followed by three dots (…—…), was easy to send and easily recognized, especially since they were usually sent as a nine-character signal, which stood out against the background of three-character Morse Code letters.
The letters themselves are meaningless. SOS does not stand for Save Our Souls, Save Our Ship, Stop Other Signals, or Sure Of Sinking.
