A life worth living has to include forgiving,
A heart that’s broken needs to be healed.
For us to continue, to grow, to love, to forgive, we need to have pain, trials, and betrayals.
Isn’t it crazy how life can change, in just a minute, a day, through time?
Finding the rail while traveling up the stairs of life, can ensure grounded footing while climbing.
Which will get us where we need safer. Isn’t that what we all want?
Blessed to be alive, to be able to keep loving, to be able to be forgiven, and forgive.
Blessed to be able to help others!
Have a super fantastically supreme day!

Poem and thoughts
Never underestimate the power of prayer!
If the path has stumbling blocks or obstacles, go through them or avoid them. The path for everyone is different, the paths are there to get us somewhere. The place we arrive at is still undisclosed, never give up.
I Stand…You Stand…By Michelle
I stand and wonder about God’s plan
You stand and wonder too
I stand, in awe of his forgiving grace
You can stand where there is a safe place
I stand corrected, in that, Love can last forever
You stand, to reap the benefits of that
I stand alone in many things
You stand, still hoping despite what life brings
Where I stand, there you can stand
In standing together
There’s nothing we can’t weather.
Sadness~ Thoughts
As I awoke this morning, there were raindrops hitting the roof of my porch, and I could hear it. I am not a fan of rain, but on occasion, I tend to like it. it has a rhythm if you listen to it long enough. I am scared of thunderstorms that come with torrential rains, or hail, or damaging winds. This morning however, it was peaceful.
I was feeling stressed at my roof that has a leak in it. We need to put about a hundred dollars worth of new shingles on it, where it has been leaking. That causes me stress because I hate new expenses that I will have to incorporate into my budget. It may not seem like a lot to some of you, but I really have to plan around such new expenses. Don’t you?
I am trying to work through some sad news. My longtime companion, my cat, Meow Meow, was diagnosed with squamous cell cancer in his mouth. I have had this cat for 13 plus years. He is my sweetest, most loving cat. Here is a picture of him…
He really is the best cat a person could ask for. Sadly I am going to have make the hardest decision about him and his cancer. Yes, his chances of surviving this cancer is slim. They did not give him any good prognosis. So I will eventually have to have him put to sleep before he starts to suffer from pain or the effects of this cancer.
My heart is literally torn and breaking for the fact I will have to make this decision. For those of you who have experienced this sort of thing, I am so sorry you had to. For those who have not, I am so glad. I pray you never have to. It really takes a toil on you.
Please remember me and my beautiful cat when you say your prayers, or send us good vibes, and love. I would greatly appreciate it.
Sadness…it is a terrible place to be, yet it stems from something that brought you so much gladness and happiness. MwsR

Shadows…by MwsR
Remnants of pain
Scars of mistakes
Debts that you can’t escape
Patterns that have been repeated
Crosses that we must bear
Promises that we have shared
Forgiveness that isn’t deserved
But given despite that
In our hearts is where this is at
Courage to continue
Thoughts and changes
They bring about exchanges
Shadows don’t define our real person
They merely show us some parts of us
You can change your shadows
You can make a different one
It is possible to …
Change, redefine and renew
*When we keep things foremost in our life they control our thoughts. So if we redirect our thoughts, our lives, and learn to forgive ourselves we can have a better life.

Thoughts….MwsR
If it’s true that we can find love from the most unexpected place….I want it
If it is true that the morning brings a new beginning…I pray I never miss one.
If what people say about peace is true…I want my share.
If you are reading this and life has beaten you down….reach for the heavens there you will find comfort.
If we get forgiveness… I sure need it because I fail often.
If you feel you can’t keep going…you can! Just believe it is possible.
**So many If’s!!!
Life will keep moving. It is you though who has the power to change and direct your own life.
Don’t delegate your happiness or peace to someone or something else. Choose your own path.
Today ~thoughts
Today, I felt pain. I felt it surround my heart and once again, I tried to stop it. Why is it that the things we love the most, put such hurt within our souls. I went and poured out my heart, and was shut down by someone’s own perceptions. It was hard to bare my feelings but I had no choice, I had to. The stress between us both has encompassed my life. It has left me feeling inadequate, bruised, and useless. Still, I tried. I laid it out and asked my poignant questions. I felt it needed to be heard. Of course, they did not agree. Like a clam, they shut their heart and closed their ears. They could not see past the past. Are they ever going to?
A part of me wanted to run…run somewhere, run fast, and run hard. But where? I have no answers, perhaps it is a fight or flight response. I wasn’t looking to fight, but it ended up that way, in some regard. Nothing, not even my tears, could calm that stubborn heart I was trying to get through to. I gave in to the pressure of trying to defend myself, against God knows what, for whatever reason, and nothing was accomplished. If anything, it made the other person meaner. As if I had asked them for a “lung”, they thought I was crazy. They refused to talk, heal, or forgive. For which I am not sure what there was to forgive. All I know is that they were determined not to discuss, deal with, or listen anymore, today.
How in the heck did my love for someone get so complicated? How is that they, the one who I built a better part of my world around, has come to be so bitter and so angry. Why? And instead of getting “points” for the good and goodwill done towards them all these years, a disagreement, conflict if you will, keeps a huge wedge filled with distrust and disdain against me. I feel like a failure. I feel like I did not express myself well enough. I feel hurt. I feel broken.
I am sure we all have situations like this. I am sure there are circumstances we cannot control. I am sure of that. What kills me though is the fact that nothing else matters to this person, and they cannot see the uncountable good and love they have been given. Why? Perhaps I should remember the mean people in my life, just so I feel better about myself. Nah, I don’t want to waste my thoughts on those kind of people. I want to do as I always have, forgive and love. I don’t want any other characteristic to be seen but those two. I want to love and love some more. Despite the pain, heartache, and turmoil. I want it to be known that I will never give up on the things that matter in my life. I certainly will never be perfect, but I will do my darndest in trying.
Far from perfect, hurting to the depths of my soul, I will try. I may want to run, may want to fight, but let me never stop caring, feeling, and loving. I want to always keep hope. Don’t you?

MwsR Writings~Human Nature
In a world where anyone can be almost anything they want, why do some humans choose to be cruel?
I have fought with an answer to this question. I remember when a friend of mine asked this very thing. She was certainly not looking for an answer, merely commenting on things that were being discussed, in our psychology class. We were discussing human nature and how sometimes that human nature, can be one of two things, a nurturer or one of a harmer. Now, this is not to say that all humans have the innate purpose of either nurture or harm, but these were the two aspects we had been discussing.
I think that there are factors in each humans life that can and do impact which one of the two natures we will choose . Family life plays a big part in how some people learn to interact and co-exist with others. If you grew up in a family that was one of sharing and helping, then more than not you will be the nurturer kind of human. If your family was never really close and kept secrets from each other, and tended to go their own way, excluding others in the family, then you would probably not be a nurturer.
Another factor could be our experiences with love, loss, or being hurt. If when faced with any of these, we dealt with things in a manner conducing things like healing and moving past, we might tend to know more about nurturing, and would reflect that in our human nature. If when any of these have left us impaired, scared, or unable to move past things, we might tend to fall somewhere in the harmer human nature.
A lot of things can impact a person’s ability to function or conduct their selves in a productive and useful way. For instance, if your mother or father never disciplined you, you may have never learned from any consequences of your actions. If you had been taught to take what you want, for example, you would inevitably still do that as an adult, as a human. That would mean you were of a harmer nature. After all, you would not be able to take everything you want without taking some from another, at some point.
As I suggested, lots of factors impact a human’s reactions, actions, and thoughts. Some that they may not be aware of. To answer that question would be to first examine another person’s life. Then you would need to find out their reason’s behind their actions, and finally, you would need to know them or talk with them more to know for sure.
Instead of trying to answer that question, maybe we should try to examine our own lives, first. Do we contribute to another human’s ability to harm another? Do we inadvertently turn a blind eye to things in this world that need to change? Our we doing the best we can to counteract the harmful ways people get treated?
Perhaps, we should be the difference we wish to see in others. Maybe just maybe our world can do better, starting one human at a time.

Planting…thoughts
I just love working the earth with my own two hands. This time of the year things are being planted, they are growing and then producing. I have been busy this year. My husband made me a garden shed with raised beds. This is the first time I’ve had raised beds.
There are tomatoes, squash, zucchini, cabbage, cosmos, and green peppers in there. I hope it will be a good harvest. I’ll let you know. I also have a lemon tree in there, for which I’m going to have to put in a more permanent pot, very soon. This is my first time with a lemon tree and it is dwarf size…or patio size. I hope it grows well.
I also have more flowers this year. I am starting most by seed but have planted some as well. I love feeding the butterflies, bees, and birds. I have corn planted also. I just love corn on the cob. Don’t you?
I have strawberries in a huge pot. I put one pepper plant in a pot. Some tomatoes are hanging and pot, along with onions, chives, lavender, cilantro, dill, etc. I have oregano in the ground it survives year after year. Banana trees, I never have to replant. I wish they produced bananas but they haven’t. They will multiply.
So there are a few pictures I wanted to share.
I am sitting outside with a slight breeze blowing, listening to my wind chimes, and the sounds of the birds. It is a wonderful, relaxing thing to do.
I hope to see the fruits of my labor and hope my family will enjoy all the good I’ve worked hard to grow.
Hope everyone is great and I will see you on this side of the rainbow…🌈
