I would absolutely love to go back to the USA. However, I’m talking about the beautiful PRE Trump country I left in April 2014, to be perfectly blunt. Now, with everything we hear about America in the news here, no thank you, I’m so disappointed to say.
Lovely alternatives to America would be Canada, New Zealand or Scotland. Question is, when can I leave? 😊 Have a great day!!

That Was Unexpected!
Daily writing prompt
What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?
My response to today’s question may miss the mark, but it’s the only answer I have…
The routine I have in place brings a bit of structure into each day, which in turn makes me feel safe. There are a couple of elements throughout the day, that I could happily do without, no doubt about it. But skipping either one would shake up the entire carefully established construct. I would not do myself a favor. Instead I try not to be grumpy, or complain about having to do those chores. The wise words “fake it until you make it” help a lot.
What I would gladly love to skip are unexpected and unplanned situations or things to be done. Why? Because I lack the flexibility to just go with the flow and with it, the ability to rearrange my day accordingly if the need arises, because of my established routine. It’s a bit of a vicious cycle, no?

What to do when sleep won’t come….? How about some music, since it’s been a while?
Have a great start to your week, and I’d be thrilled to see you back here soon 😊
Love Without Budget
Daily writing prompt
Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).
The most money I ever spent was not for an ‘item’, it was on one of my puppy girls named Mandy. During the last three years of her life, she developed a heart condition that required regular monthly checkups, xrays, blood work and a shot to keep her as healthy as possible. And no, don’t go there, I was not tormenting her. The doctors at our trusted animal hospital assured me every time, that she was not suffering and still had a good quality of life. They would never have allowed for Mandy to endure pain and suffering, and neither would I have, ever. Period. Okay? In total, over the years I spend roughly $30.000 for her treatments as well as the at home medications. You may gasp for air now, and that’s fine. Wouldn’t you do everything you could for your children? Well, my dogs are my fur kiddos and the same concept applies. Ridiculous? By all means, have your opinion. I don’t care. My dogs have always been, and always will be, the greatest joy and blessing in my life. Their well being significantly adds to my own. And the love I have for ‘my girls’ doesn’t come with a budget or a price tag attached. I will gladly give all I can afford, to keep them healthy and happy. Because my heart beats for dogs, and that won’t ever change. Have a lovely Sunday!! 🥰
Pay Attention!
I don’t have a properly working ‘screen time management’. However, a rather short attention span seems to be a blessing in disguise. It is high time to shut the computer down, when I become fidgety and easily distracted. Sometimes during a YouTube documentary or crafting video, I hit pause and try to recall what I just saw and heard. If I find myself struggling, the website will be added to the ‘watch-it-later’ list and the computer gets a well deserved break.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a good week 🍀😊
A Happily Uneventful Life
Throughout the years I realized, that life doesn’t seem to agree with the plans I make. Goals, hopes and dreams are a part of my past, because it’s the kind of disappointment I don’t need anymore. I do my best at taking life the way it comes, one day at the time. Simple as that. Three years from now? I don’t see my life being a whole lot different from today. As long as I’m done with drama, difficulty and people hurting me, I will count my blessings and happily lead an uneventful life with Lilly by my side.
With Curiosity And Fearlessness
Children have this sense of wonder, a never ending curiosity. And instead of questioning the outcome, or being worried about potential difficulties, they follow through with whatever it is they’ve set their hearts on doing [unless their parents get wind of the intentions first, and prevent them from happening].
In my humble opinion, the majority of adults have lost these valuable traits, myself included.
Happy hump day!! ☺

Here On Earth
To admire the moon at night, while I listen to my favorite songs, is plenty good enough for me. Instead of going to the moon, I prefer to save that money and visit some beautiful places here on earth. Have a lovely Saturday 😊
