Yay!!! So far, the reviews of the new website seem positive, and that makes me happy. Change is hard on everyone. It is hard on me trying to figure out new technology, and it is hard for you to figure out how to navigate and find things. But, hopefully, we will be able to weather the “change” storm and find bluer skies on the horizon. There are a couple more features that I want to incorporate, but I haven’t had time to sit down and figure out how those work. I’ll let you know when I get those up and running. If you haven’t checked out the new blog theme, then go to the home page.
I wanted to tell all of you that I had a wonderful birthday. My daughter laughed when I told her about my presents from Joe. She told me that she could tell that I was 60 by what my requests were. I asked to have all of the switch and outlet covers installed in my new office. When the gentleman painted my office, he got called away to another job that had an emergency, so the covers had never been put back on. I could have put them on myself, except that I couldn’t find the covers, and I had looked everywhere.
Joe messaged the guy, went and picked up covers, and then put them on. That was present number one. The next present that I asked for was a cuss-free day. Joe is known to have a fierce temper, and his tongue can get pretty carried away. So, I wanted a day of no cussing, and it went well…until the last hour or so. Haha! I told him that he owes me a few more hours, and he has agreed to continue biting his tongue. THEN, he gave me a gift of cleaning off the patio. Maybe I am getting older since those gifts thrilled me. Lol!
Today it is supposed to be gorgeous outside, so I am going to get some much-needed vitamin D. I plan on getting some flowers planted, outdoor cushions cleaned, and making my newly washed patio more inviting. So, I’ll be wearing my t-shirt and distressed jeans for my casual summer look, with the added cardigan while it is cool in the morning. Later, the jeans might give way to some shorts, but for now, I am trying to stay warm since I will be working with dirt and water.
My cardigan looks gorgeous, but it is not expensive. The beautiful blue cardigan is lightweight and perfect for this spring. I love the baby blue color, and I love the relaxed fit of the cardigan. I am wearing a medium, and you can see that it is plenty roomy on me. This cardigan is a fine gauge knit with a ribbed hem and cuffs. It is rayon and polyester, and it is machine washable. The cardigan comes in a lot of other colors, including a bright pink that I think I am also going to order. Since the cardigan is less than 10.00, I believe that I’ll also order the red and pale pink ones too. LOL!
I don’t have on any jewelry to show you today, other than my rings that I never take off, and two Tiffany bracelets that were gifts because of my R+F business. I saw that someone asked me about my rings, so I thought that I would tell you about them. My engagement ring is a vintage ring that was Joe’s mom’s. It was one that she had purchased at an estate sale, and then we had it reset in gold. The green ring is not emeralds, but instead, it is black opal. Joe bought this ring for me for my 10th wedding anniversary from a jewelry shop in Philadelphia that sells on eBay.
I love these slip-on sneakers!!! The neutral color is fabulous to wear with anything, but they also come in several other colors, as well as a leopard print version. These are so lightweight, and the no-tie laces make them super easy to slip on and take off. I ordered my usual size 9, and they fit me great. They are comfortable to putter around in all day, and they look super stylish as well. They are also priced under 23.00, so be sure to grab you a pair of maybe even TWO. Lol!
Distressed jeans are not everyone’s cup of tea, but I like them! They look casual and relaxed, which is the look that I love. I’ve also worn these jeans in a dressier version, so these jeans are more versatile than you might think. If you can get past the part where there are holes and worn spots, you will like these jeans. This pair is by Scoop from Walmart, and I love the straight leg look. I am wearing my usual size 10, and they fit great.
Adding a white v-neck t-shirt to my look completed the outfit. What is better than wearing a white t-shirt and jeans? I like the simple look, and you can wear it for almost any occasion. Just don’t show up to a wedding with this on, but a bbq would be perfect. The v-neck shirt is part of a 2-pack that I bought from Walmart, and they are nice, especially for the price. I think of these as “throw-away” items, which means that I know that I’ll probably be replacing them yearly or by-yearly, so I don’t want a high-dollar version. I am wearing a size large in the shirts since I want them to fit loose.
15 My frame was not hidden from youwhen I was made in the secret place,when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
I try to think positively mist of the time, but it is hard. I think about my blessings and thank God for them as I lay my head down. So many have struggles that they deal with every day, which helps to put it all in perspective.
I try and see the bright side of life and to roll my cares onto the Lord. I think having a sense of humor and not letting problems stick to you are important, I have learned how to be more positive by watching my daughter in law. I pray, read the Bible, watch and listen to wholesome things, I also enjoy watching nature and going on walks.
I try to have something to look forward to. A date night, garage sales day, a good old black and white movie. I also find keeping my house in order helps! Talking to friends.
I enjoy reading my daily devotional from the “Jesus Calling” book…it never ceases to amaze me how the daily verse will work for whatever is going on in life at the time. It’s a great way to start my day knowing He has my back. I have no idea if I am the MIchele who won the lash boost, but if I am, please don’t enter me into today’s giveaway. I want someone else to experience the fun of receiving a gift for your birthday. Your posts are so full of positivity and I look forward to them so much.
You look great as usual! Glad you had a wonderful Birthday. I love the new “Shop my Post” as I usually do check out most everything you wear and most recently bought some shoes from Target you wore. Have a great weekend.
Love the outfit. Wish we could get same in ?? Walmart’s! Interesting thought, what do I do to stay positive. Like all things, wishing so doesn’t make it happen. Yet I don’t think I put a lot of effort into working at that. I do try and wake up and be grateful for all I have. Right now it is that we are retired and don’t have to go out in the world. We can stay home safe and out of everyone’s way. Like the lifeguards at the pool called all of us out of the baby pool so they didn’t worry about us and could concentrate on the lady needing rescuing.
There are a couple of things that I do to turn my attitude around. One is to remind myself that tings could be worse. The second is to put my issue on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being death. Most of the things you are annoyed or angry with are going to be lower than 5 so it puts things in perspective and snaps me out of it.
I love that you can look cute, trendy and stylish, with items from target and Walmart! ?

Prayer, reading the Word, daily devotionals and I love morning walks listening to praise and worship music.

God is good! Believe that and you can stay positive.
