Happy Monday, y’all! I hope you enjoyed your weekend and that you were able to do something that brought you joy. My weekend was spent reading and doing a few things around our house. Considering I have read 20 books so far this year, I had to reorganize my bookshelf because it was cluttered with books that lacked clear organization. I wanted everything to appear neat and organized according to the size of the book. Out of every book on my bookshelf, most of them were written by my favorite author, James Patterson! I have been trying to avoid the news and anything that involves the current president because it makes me too angry and stressed. So, while my husband finds it necessary to follow the news, as he watches the mess unfold, I have been reading. I will never pay the current president a compliment, but I almost owe the number of books I have read to him.
Is there anything you are looking forward to during the upcoming week? My weeks are very typical, and nothing new happens. I am planning to follow up on a potential job opportunity. Last week, I learned that a company I worked for, before relocating, is hiring, and there is a chance I could work remotely. The hiring manager worked in a different department than I had worked in before, but he said he remembered me. I am not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing that he remembers me, but I do know we had a good rapport. Besides my former supervisor, there are several other people still working for the company who can provide me with a good recommendation. It is a good thing that my former manager is an AVP and that we have always had a good working relationship. I am not getting my hopes up because I do not want to be devastated if things do not work out, but at least this is a lead in the right direction.
On Friday afternoon, Blitzen
has an appointment to get her final round of shots. Unfortunately, at this moment, Blitzen’s right eye is still looking awful. I have been giving her eye medication three times a day, and it is improving, but it is not back to 100%. Blitzen hates being in the car, which is why I have not taken her to the doctor. From my observations, the issue with her eye is the same issue Layla had, and I informed the veterinarian of what Blitzen was going through. The doctor agreed that eye medication was the best way to manage the eye problem. I know I have mentioned this before, but our five cats are the most loving and best, and we are very thankful for each of them
. We see the love in their eyes, and it makes me wish everyone could love like they do because there is no stipulation or drama; they just love unconditionally.
As we begin a new week, we must find a way to stay motivated. The days are going by fast, and Christmas is going to be here soon. It is easy to get stressed around the holidays, but remember, we are only human and can only do so much. It is the same thing as the work weeks. I know it can be easy to get overwhelmed and feel like you are being pulled in too many different directions, but we can decide to take things one thing at a time. We may not understand or recognize it, but our life is filled with a series of tests. Some of these tests are challenging and difficult to get through. Others may not seem like they are a test because it was so easy. Whether the test is easy or not, every one of life’s tests makes us stronger. As you begin the week, I hope the quote I have shared provides you with enough motivation and courage to handle any test life throws your way this week.
Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you have a wonderful week and that you are provided with amazing new opportunities. Mondays are not easy because it means the weekend is over, but instead of dreading Monday, we should view it as a new start. Anything we could not accomplish last week, we have another chance to achieve this week. As always, I look forward to reading any comments you may have, and I 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
