Friday Favorites


1. Health Update

While this first thing isn't a favorite, I want to include it anyway. I've been dealing with a lot of ongoing health issues recently and in the past 2 years. I've been diagnosed with hip bursitis and have yet to find any relief for the constant and excruciating pain in my left hip. We have tried countless things to help lessen my pain. I have been to so many doctor's appointments and tried so many things and have yet to find any relief. I also have rheumatoid arthritis and I've been struggling a lot lately between both of these issues. I feel like I'm a burden to lots of people, especially my job and my family. I've been praying so much and reading lots of self help books and trying to do things I enjoy because all of these health issues have left me feeling so depressed, stressed, emotional and beyond worn out. My favorite word is JOY and I'm trying to not let everything that's been happening lately, steal my JOY but sometimes it's very hard.

2. Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day, we celebrated at my job by having a class party and a school dance. It was lots of fun for everyone. I received Valentine's gifts from some of my students and it truly touched my heart. My mom gave me a Valentine's Day card and a DVD and my dad sent me a card and a scratch off.

3. Davey Eli

My fur-baby, Davey Eli, turned 11 on Valentine's Day. He is such a sweet boy and he brings me so much joy. I just wish he wanted to snuggle more often than he does. Here are some photos of him throughout the years:





4. Books Read in January

In January I read two self help books and I really enjoyed them both:

^At one of my planner conferences, Teresa Collins was the keynote speaker and her speech moved me and inspired me and I immediately purchased her book from her vendor shop after her session. I highly recommend this book.^

^This was the second book I read and I highly recommend this book as well. I loved this book so much and it was so inspiring. I want to read the rest of her novels now.^

5. National Love Your Pet Day

The other day was National Love Your Pet Day and I love my two fur babies, Davey Eli and Pumpkin with all of my heart. Here are some cute pictures of them:

^Pumpkin fell asleep on Davey and he was not happy about it. Two seconds after I took this picture, he jumped off the bed.^




I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
