Thanks for asking. So far so good. He still has doctor appointments, but he is hanging in there.
Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!
It’s really fun to see how dogs interact with each other. They make friends at the park like kids do at the playground.

You just forgot who you are.

1. they don't know what's best for you
...no one will ever be as invested in your life as you
...people are experts on themselves (NOT YOU)
...in addition, some people are idiots. there are a lot of stupid people out there, and a lot of people who will want to see you fail
...it will bring you down. if all your happiness is wrapped up in the opinion of others, you will never be happy. if one insult, one jab, one bad opinion of you sends you into a deep depression and a fit of self-loathing, you will live your life worried and depressed. you can't live your life being vulnerable so that one thing can change the entire course of your happiness.
...opinions aren't truths. who gives anyone the authority to think their opinion is the right one?
2. it will keep you from your dreams
...if you constantly worry about what other people think, you will never get to where you need to go in life
3. what's right for someone else may be completely wrong for you
4. people will always have opinions about what you should and shouldn't be doing
...and often, they'll change their opinions!
5. you're the one stuck with the end result
6. you can simplify your life by not caring what people think of you
...you save time
...you become brave
...you become independent
🥰
"Hard work pays off."
"Keep going. You're getting there."
Now I can cancel my Jitterbug/Lively which I didn't like. Even though the advertisements made it sound like it was so simple to use. Nope, it was so darn complicated to use, plus any time I picked up the phone my palm would bump the Alert button.
Since I had stopped using my old phone 6 months ago, I stopped hearing from my teen grand-daughters. Even though my house phone was alive and well, they wouldn't call me on that phone. Strange. Maybe it was the lack of texting/emojies for house phones. Poor things.

When I made a cross country tour with some friends back in the 80's I remember being surprised that people "out west" stopped for us ... I was also astonished that people hauling slow moving trailers often pulled over to let traffic go by!
I think his other videos are great too, they are easy to follow and have really made me stop and think the way we do things!
This is a link to one of my favorite stories to share. An 11 year old autistic piano prodigy!

Crossing the Street Shouldn't Be Deadly (but it is)

I knew that she struggled with addiction. She spoke about her struggles in the past. It’s tough.
I grew up with an addict. My brother who is now deceased, would get clean, then relapse, over and over. His lifestyle finally caught up to him. It’s heartbreaking for a family.
How is that even possible to lose that much weight in a month? That’s wild.
So sad that Lisa Marie died so young in life. I feel bad for her family, especially her children. It’s sad for her mom too.
Did you see her interview for the last award show? I saw it flipping through the channels. She looked extremely thin and fragile.
Not criticizing her. I’m naturally thin.
I think she was purposely dieting and some people lose weight too fast instead of 1 or 2 lbs a week like people are supposed to do.
A lot of people are using the diabetes drug, Ozempic to lose weight now. My nurse says that she lost 50 lbs on it without even trying.
If you walk in the room he opens one eye and gives you a look of irritation because you disturbed him.
Pets have such great personalities.
Oh yes, and I am trying to get more calcium and protein. You gave good advice on that.
