Glad I still have my finger....

Hello everyone my name is Melissa this is a new blog to me, however it isn't my first time doing a blog. I had one several years ago and just stopped doing it. I've decided to start one again not so much for the people reading it but for myself to keep as a journal since I have never been great about writing in a journal





For my first entry I wanted to share something that happened about a week ago that I really don't want to forget. I had been at my in-laws house after a violin recital that my niece was in. As I went to leave and while I was getting into my car, I was reaching back to put my seat belt on, the car door wasn't closed yet and as I put my hand back the door was coming back and I didn't realize it. All of a sudden there was a crash and I felt intense pain at first I thought it had just injured my finger and that was all. But I looked down at my hand and my wedding ring was smashed I mean it was flat as a pancake. I was so sad, nervous and upset. I didn't know what to do, I tried taking it off my finger but nope it was stuck. I drove home (in tears) as fast as I could. When I walked in the door I told my husband and we walked down to the basement, he found some pliers in one of his many toolboxes. He then put the pliers on both sides of my finger to try to get the ring back in a circular shape. By this point my finger was already swollen and we couldn't get it off. He kept trying to squeeze my finger to get the ring lose finally it came off. However it is not longer a circle, I would say its more like a hexagon. At least my finger is okay I really think the ring saved my finger. And yes at the time I was more worried about my ring than my finger!!

More posts to come, I hope to keep this blog more updated than my previous blog.

Thought for the day

“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending, he turned into a butterfly.” (Proverb) I came across this quote on Pinterest and suddenly loved it. I think it's so great and has such a good meaning behind it. I feel like it fits me well with where I'm at right now. I have grown so much over this past year. With starting a healthier lifestyle and taking more time to care for myself I have gained a confidence and happiness with myself that I haven't had in such a long time. I have found that if I'm not truly happy with myself I can't make the people around me happy. I have also found that I need to love myself the way I am and to be proud of myself for all of my accomplishments. #learningtolovemyselfagain  #loveyourcurves

Things I do to cheer myself up when I'm feeling down

Over the years I have had to find ways to cheer myself up if I'm ever feeling low. As I think we all have had to do. Here is a list of some of my favorite things to do. ♬ I will usually listen to music. Listening to the right songs can put you in such a better mood and even bring back a whole bunch of memories. I love music and always have it on. ♣♤ Another thing I like to do that will always cheer me up is playing games. I love to play all kinds of games. Card games, board games, anything really. ☏ If I'm ever down I can always call my mom and talk to her she always knows what to say to put me in a good mood and make me feel better. Or I can text my dad and talk to him. I also have several cousins and friends that I can call or text to help brighten up my day. I am so grateful to have them in my life and that I have such a good relationship with all of them. ✄🎨 I love to do crafts and being able to do a craft and use your creativity and imagination is so soothing an...

Staying strong in hard times....

This week has been very challenging for me. I have had to make some tough decisions. I have learned that I can stand up for myself and that I need to stand up for myself. I have always had a hard time standing up for myself, I have always felt like I can't do anything on my own and that I need the help from other people.  Although for the past few weeks I have realized that I need to be able to be on my own and not feel like I can't do anything without the help of other people. I have always been a people pleaser and I know that I need to do what is best for me. I always feel like I have to put my best face forward and try to hide my real feelings from the world. But you can only take so much before it becomes too draining on your soul and mental state.  I have had to do a lot of soul searching and I feel like I have grown. Sometimes what we think is the best thing for us turns out to be a stepping stone in becoming the best person you can be. I do know that wit...
