Coloring the day away....!!

  Some days are GOOD and some are not!!    Yesterday, I had a really good day....I felt good, the weather was nice and things were going okay -- 
.....but today just awful...a totally different day and it is not pleasant.   Alex's Jeep is still not running, my whole body is aching....I feel super stressed and have a pounding headache..it's a really sucky day!   Life is HARD some days....and for me and my family, we have had TOO many days like this --- far too much hurt, loss and pain and so I am going to do my very best to keep a smile on my FACE and try not let upset and stress take over.......!  Wish me luck because I have NO clue why this is happening to us and it's just awful being put in the middle, I hate conflict -- always have and always will......
    ...One thing that always helps me to feel more relaxed is to color.    So I spent a LOT of time today coloring and trying to get my mind to a peaceful place.
   I also did more practicing with my Prismacolor pencils for my "Color Craze" class that I have been taking at "My Creative Classroom".  It's a fun online classroom that offers a lot of classes you can take right the comforts of home and for me, it's perfect.  I can come and go to class whenever I feel okay and work on my "assignments" during my good days.  I took another class in the fall called "Everything Copics" and loved it.  If you ever want to take some craft classes online, then I highly recommend you try MCC.  This is a link to a list of their classes - Click Here!

   Phone is ringing and it's my doctor -- I'll be back

 .....Yippee!   Some GOOD NEWS -- the biopsy I had DONE last week is FINE, it is NOT another basal cell cancer, it is simply scar tissue!   WOW! Does that feel good to have some NICE news!   I think I'll go color some more and hope that this is the beginning of happy things for me and my family.....!!

   I HOPE everyone has a wonderful FRIDAY and a nice LONG weekend....!

Yeah, things can sure turn on a dime can't they? I sure loved talking to you this morning and I hope I was of some help. Unfortunately for some people their is no help!
Take care. You are a good person.

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
