Happy Friday, y’all! I hope you have had a great week and that you are looking forward to a lovely weekend! During this past week, what was your best day and why was it your best day? Was there anything that happened during your week that upset you? Regardless of whether your good days outweigh the bad days or the other way around, you have survived another week. I think that everyone reading my posts knows that I have lived with Multiple Sclerosis for more than half of my life, and the medication I take to slow down the progression is called Gilenya, which I have discussed the cost challenges previously. I cannot say what changed or what the reason is, but when I ordered the Gilenya this past week, the cost went from $220 down to $85. I thought the person I was talking to was joking and thought this would be a sick joke, but she was very serious. This was a very nice surprise, and I wish I knew what changed this month!

As everyone who has read my posts knows, we have five cats living in our home
. Their ages range from 6 years old to 11 weeks old, and with the age differences, they get along very well
. Their personalities are very unique, but the blend works perfectly. Yesterday, I took the newest addition to our kitty family, Blitzen, to the veterinarian for her second booster shot. Blitzen did very well during her appointment and is a healthy, growing little girl
! During her last appointment approximately three weeks ago, she weighed 0.7 pounds; yesterday she weighed 2.7 pounds, so she has gained 2 pounds over three weeks! It is hard to believe this kitten was so tiny at only two weeks old when we brought her into our home with a double eye infection, had to be bottle-fed for several weeks, learned how to use a litter box, and adapted to her new family, and is thriving so well. It is heartbreaking to think about what would have happened to her if we had not taken her in.

Our lives are a series of unique challenges, interspersed with scattered moments of pleasure. No matter the situation, we must learn to let go of negativity. Even though those issues are complicated to discuss and put into words, it is crucial to try because holding onto negativity can cause disastrous effects on our lives moving forward. I believe Friday is a perfect day to let go of negative emotions, as this can let us enjoy the short weekend to the fullest. Our lives are short, and when we hold onto negative energy, we only shorten our lives. There is no reason to hold onto negativity, and once we let go, everything will fall into place and work out for the best. We might not understand the possibilities that can happen after we let go of negative energy, but things cannot get much worse if we do. I hope the quote I shared about letting go helps you discover a way to take a deep breath, step back from the situation weighing you down, relax, and let go!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed what I shared, and something I have written releases you from negative emotions. The weekend has returned, and I hope that whatever you have planned, you will enjoy yourself and stay as safe as possible. I always want the opportunity to read your comments about what I have written and will respond as quickly as possible. Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love
, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes
!

Always, Alyssa
