In a world where you can be anything, be kind. It's a gift everyone can afford to give and needed now more than ever before! 🚫DM's unless I know you. ❤🌊🌻🦋💙

When mom got older I would sometimes explain things to her in excess. Maybe do too much for her. I kind of took charge. She'd say to me "I know that, I'm not a moron." Or she'd say "Who's the mother?" But in a loving funny way. 😁🥰❤ Oh how I miss laughing with my best friend!

I was diagnosed with DCIS stage 0 breast cancer. After months of biopsies, poked & bruised, I finally got through my lumpectomy surgeries. Incisions are healing. I'll need radiation as well. Ladies please get your annual mammos. Mine was caught early. I was lucky. Grateful! 🎀

@LindenmuthWendi That's The Story of My Life Wendi. And I don't have those racing thoughts like a lot of people say they have. But I do think the thoughts of our day manifest in our body. A hot bath and reading before bed usually helps me. 😊

[Catherine @CatherineO214]

@LindenmuthWendi I can relate on both sides. If someone has caused me pain, drama, trauma Etc there can sometimes be triggers from awful memories. Should people judge? No. Are there things people can't get past? Yes. It's about their capabilities, not yours. Keep those people at arm's length.

@LindenmuthWendi Often. And in a timely manner. 😜😁

[Catherine @CatherineO214]

@LindenmuthWendi Because it helps with my resentment, anger and frustration. It keeps me centered on what's most important in life. And it helps comfort me knowing I'm not alone. 😊

[Catherine @CatherineO214]

@LindenmuthWendi Yes!

[Catherine @CatherineO214]

@LindenmuthWendi Feel bad for them. Most of it brought on by insecurity. They believe they're not good enough so they fake it to me accepted and admired. But it's possible that for some it's intentional manipulation. So, either walk away or respond with total and complete honesty.

@smalls2672 The boy also expressed that he wasn’t feeling well. He was reaching out to the teacher, saying he needed some water. He said he couldn't breathe. Just heartbreaking! 💔

[Catherine @CatherineO214]

@LindenmuthWendi Human nature. Stay busy to avoid feeling. Feeling anything. Keep emotions at Bay to avoid "feeling" anything that has potential to cause emotional harm. I have mastered it. However, when the crash comes, and it will, it hits me hard.

[Catherine @CatherineO214]

@LindenmuthWendi It's always there and has been for years. I've learned to tuck it away. Why would I want to live with it at the forefront of my mind? It's too disappointing.😁 🤪

[Catherine @CatherineO214]

My mandevilla is bursting with blooms this morning. This plant symbolizes strength, resilience and adaptability. Wishing those attributes to all of you! Happy Saturday! 🥰

[Catherine @CatherineO214]

@LFrostWrites I really like both! Depends on what I'm making. I have a jar of each in my refrigerator.

[Catherine @CatherineO214]

@LindenmuthWendi Btw- I prefer all the other responses that made me laugh. My answer is boring. Still love your questions Wendi. 🥰

[Catherine @CatherineO214]

@LindenmuthWendi Hmm? I've been to many Art galleries, Museums and classical concerts. I'm fairly well educated, certainly polite, a stickler about grammar. I can tell a Rembrandt from a Van Gogh and Vivaldi from Mozart. Not sure if that's cultured. If it is I'm on the lower end. 😊

[Catherine @CatherineO214]

@kimbakesbrit Sweet pic! So sorry for your loss. Very sad! I lost a boyfriend to suicide when I was 24 years old and he was 30. Messed me up for awhile.
