What's Been Making Me Happy this Spring + Chit-Chat & Update

NOTE BK Beauty & Omnilux Mother's Day sale below. Today, I'm sharing what's been making me happy this Spring. We were fortunate to witness another eclipse.

    Hi my friend, I received your message with your condolences on the passing of Tim. It will be four weeks on Tuesday and it still does not seem real. I feel like I have a big hole in my heart that will never be filled again. I miss him so much, but couldn’t bear to see him in the pain he was in any longer. Love the coat! Pretty and practical at the same time. Anxious to hear what’s been going on with Jim. Love you lots… Talk to you soon, Dolores. 💔🙏❤️💋

    Oh MaryEllen, I’m wondering if maybe we are related!! I never order anything but water when going out to a restaurant either!!! Drinks are way too expensive! I have followed weight watchers for years and I’m the same way with drinks there - I would rather eat my calories, not drink them!! Likewise, I would rather pay for food, not drinks. I also raised my girls this way so could relate 100% to your Pizza Hut story. Ironically, Jen and her family always order water! Lol. The other similarity you mentioned is always having a back up of things. Doesn’t matter what it is for me, if I use something routinely I always have a back up. 👍🏻. I love the coat you showed and am going to look at that! I’m so glad the lift assist is helping! I’ve not seen anything like that! Continued prayers for big you and Jim and you know that I send positive thoughts and love….

    Hi Mary Ellen, Thanks for sharing the lift product. I'm glad it's helping you and Jim. Maybe it could help others now that you mentioned it. I ordered a new cleanser from HSN (Skinn Cosmetics). My face is so dry and it's been developing dry spots. I used to use Purity years ago, but after awhile that didn't work. So far this Skinn Cleanser is pretty good. No, I don't do all my shopping on HSN.:) Oh, I don't remember how many years it's been, but when my husband and I go out to eat we always just order water with our meal. I said to him look how much a coke or coffee is. So you're smart not to order a beverage. I'm still praying for Jim for healing. God Bless both of you! Have a blessed week. Your friend Mary.

Your pizza story was how a lot of us had to do, and many still are. Getting the children in on the decision making teaches them reality. We want to be out enjoying the world, but choices have to be made. Water vs coke seems like a no brainer to me. All my love to you and Jim as you move forward. Having you by his side, all good things are possible. Till we see you again, hugs, judy

    Hi 👋MaryEllen...That top you're wearing looks so nice on you. I always enjoy the variety in your "what makes me happy" videos. I love Kind bars already. But that zero one with Dark Choc I'd like to try. I'm with you on drinking water when eating out. My son and his family as well.. I add lemon to mine. Pretty soon we'll be charged for that too🤷‍♀️. Sending prayers and well wishes to you and Jim🤞.Glad you're allowing more time to not worry about videos. We'll be here when you're ready. Take care🥰 hugs.

    Awe lovely to see you. I'm not sure how the gadget for Jim helps. We saw an eclipse years ago went down south, it was amazing. The birds went crazy and watching the dark approach us was spooky. We filmed it, our boys were younger but so appreciated that I booked us the time away they remember it well. Plus its were I was born and my grandparents loved seeing us plus other family all now passed. I lost my best friend who was 17 I was 18. I never get over that. Love and blessings to our Songbird and of course you ❤❤❤

The blue color compliments you. Glad you were able to see the eclipse. We had a cloud cover here and wasn’t able to view it. The coat you got looks pretty, I like the style. I’m glad the “lift assist” is aiding in allowing Jim to get up. You have to do what you have to do to work with your lifestyle and to take care of Jim. Your loyal subscribers will remain. Continued prayers for Jim. Much love, happiness, and kindness, Teresa

I still go to the gym twice a week. It feels good and I feel it is making me stronger. Lord I pray for Jim and for you that all will be good in the end. I have to tell you what I saw at the gym today. This lady had on a sleeveless red top and brown animal print stretchy shorts with blue tennis shoes. Her build was big and I thought her outfit to be in bad taste. Of course that’s my opinion, after all she was there working out. You and Jim are in my thought and prayers.

It is surprising the outfits people put together, lol. Sometimes I wish I was brave enough not to care what I wear, but I know that is not going to happen. My goal is to look neat when I walk out the door. Thank you for the prayers, my friend. Blessings, prayers, love, and happiness...MaryEllen

    @@MaryEllenAfter60 Hi MaryEllen! Good to hear from you. I had to think about it, but I’d say I feel 65% better at this point. I’m still hoping and waiting to feel a lot better. There are some days I think is this how I’m going to feel, as good as it gets. Then other days I feel relatively good. I can do things better now. Not doing housework at this point, nor able to walk around the block without pain, but I try some days. Now that the weather has warmed up, I will be trying to walk more. I’m still going to PT. (I’m self paying now, because insurance ran out) I feel good after I have worked out even if the pain comes back later. I feel stronger. I have to keep going. I’m in the process of doing research to get our house assessment reduced. I cannot sell my house for the new assessment. It makes no sense to pay for an assessed value that exceeds the price of a home. I’m not selling and not asking for much, only want an equitable payment. I will have to present to the assessment board. Wish me good luck. Love, prayers, and happiness, Teresa

    Hi, my lady. I know I'm late commenting but I did watch in pieces earlier this week. I got side tracked and just now commenting. That's awesome you got to see the Solar Eclipse. I bought the glasses even though we were out of the track, lol. It ended up being a totally cloudy day but that's ok, we had the TV on and they showed it all afternoon. Guess what? We finally made it over to Buff City Soap about a week ago. I had that poor youg lady grabbing bottles of scents, trying to decide what I wanted, lol. Long story short, believe me it was long, I finally picked one with hubs help. She had already made 2 free samples (White Jasmine and Summer Nights), for me to take home and decide. Well, we decided since we drove so far to try them, just to buy one. Hubs picked Summer Nights and I agreed. Come to find out, after we left and I looked at the receipt, Summer Nights is a mix of Narcissist (yours) and Commando. It smells soooo good. I looked on the website and didn't see it so it must be a custom scent. I had to share 😊. I'm wondering for your queen sheets, do you use 2T's or 3? I did ask the young lady to add an extra shot of fragrance to my mix. We bought the one without baking soda because I keep a big bags from Sams over my washer at all times. I want to be able to enjoy the scent for a few days, at least, lol. Wishful thinking, I'm sure. I'm thinking 3 or 4 tablespoons, maybe, for my King Sheets? What ya thank? Anywho, hugs and prayers to you both 🤗😘.
