Hi....

Today it was a very long day

It was nice to come home to enjoy a little get together with everybody that lives in the building we had pizza and sweet treats and played a game of Bingo but I didn't stay for the bingo because it was time to take care of myself and let myself rest after the long day.... I do enjoy doing those kinds of things we should do that more often for holidays

As for how my day went in the cities left here early got down there early and got in early and was hoping to be home early but unfortunately we got stuck in a snow storm and traffic so it took us a little longer to get home but we finally made it home around 4...... I got my pump filled unfortunately my second appointment down there was cancelled because my doctor needed to go home and take care of her baby cuz it was sick..... the next time I will be headed to the cities and sometime in March hopefully then I will be able to meet with my doctor and get everything squared away...... I haven't shared this because I didn't want to get my hopes up and get way ahead of myself and get all excited and nothing happened over the past couple months I've been trying to work out to do pool therapy but unfortunately that requires changing my insurance a little bit for it to happen and I talked to my doctor down in the cities today and they think it would be a good idea if I didn't do it because of the fact everything is working right now with my insurance and they want to make sure that I can get my pump filled without any difficulties which is honestly okay with me because I'm not very fond of water and I've been stressing out about this a lot so them telling me it's okay I don't do it is a big weight off my shoulders...... on the upside of things hopefully I will be having a couple bus passes come in the mail so that I can get to the club during the winter time I haven't shared this either but I haven't received the bus passes either so we'll see if they come or not if it happens it happens and if it doesn't it doesn't I have to look at it that way because I know if I can't get there in the winter I can always go there in the summer without having to worry about getting there safely

Me!!!

Time....

Look at my lovely new TV and there's also a DVD player in the bottom that is brand new

A big thank you to my parents for helping me pick this up today and helping me set it up as well

It was really nice to spend a few hours with you seeing as how time just gets away from us and time to spend just hanging out and having a little fun is very far and few between since we're all spread out all over the place we are growing and changing everyday but I always love the days where I get to spend some time with my parents

Big milestone!!!

As we start this day for this page.... we hit a big milestone today!!

We have reached over a thousand page views 4 the Misty's keychains Facebook page

Feeling... very grateful for all the love and support and can't wait to see what happens as the days and years go by

Thank you

Fresh new do!!!

My momma always says you have the capability to be a model if you wanted to be but being in the spotlight is not one of my top priorities

we cut off about 2in... this is my natural hair color nothing has been added

The Beautician says to me misty you have beautiful hair why do you want to cut it I said because it's been three years since I've actually had a haircut and it's about time to give the ends of my hair break and give them a fresh start

Rest my friend!!

Last night I learned of another death I'm not quite sure how he died but that's not what matters

His name was Chris and he was a classmate of mine we graduated in 2002 from Maple Lake High School..... I haven't seen many of my friends since I moved away and made my own life and I'm comfortable here but I think of all my friends very often...... what can I tell you about Chris I he was a kind and gentle soul.... he always said hi to me and made sure I didn't need help no matt...er what he was doing..... I'd be walking down Maple Lake High School and he always manage to say hi and asked me how I was doing no matter if he was goofing off with his friends or not..... he was one of the good people that's gone way too soon

I caught up with him on Facebook a few years ago and it sounded like he was doing very well so I guess that's what matters right enjoying life doing what you love being surrounded by the people that you love

Rest in peace Chris and thank you for always being one of those people that was kind and always lending a hand if I needed it

Watch over all of us and keep us safe until we meet again my friend

I'm a person that doesn't go to church very often and it's not because I don't believe in my own personal savior the reason I say it that way is because when I was growing up my mom never made us go to church never made us go to Catholic School she always let us make up are own mind on a lot of things that is one of the reasons why I respect my mother as much as I do
As I woke up this morning I turned on the computer and I seen another shooting why isn't in this world that we just can't get along.... don't get me wrong I know there's evil in the world and I know that there's always going to be people out there that decide to do evil things and her people for no reason but come on there's been so much of it lately can we not just find a way to get along we don't have to like each other but that doesn't mean we have to use guns or other ways and means to kill people just walk away
This is also another reason why I never turn on the TV because all we see lately is nothing good..... there's all these channels on TV and even on the internet that report all the bad stuff why can't there be a place where we report the good stuff that happens in the world 2..... report the good news that people deserve and need to hear at this present time in our world because maybe that would help make a difference and just maybe that people would stop being so angry about whatever they're being angry about
I volunteer on a regular basis not because I have to but because I want to a part of me is hoping that it somehow makes a difference in the world and that people stop being so angry at each other.... I founded my own little business that I do out of my apartment in 2013 and everything that I send out is free of charge to whoever receives it..... I've never asked for anything in return for any of this stuff that I put in the mail for people to receive all that I ask is that you find it in your heart to help to make a difference so that you can see somebody smile and instead of somebody so angry they need to make the decision to go kill a whole bunch of people
I'm trying to make this a peaceful place to live and there's more people that need to do and work as hard as I am to make this a peaceful place to live because otherwise this is never going to change
I turned on the computer this morning and that is the first thing I seen and to be honest I wasn't surprised anymore..... that kind of behavior does not surprise me anymore..... and what hurts my heart the most is that I honestly think it's never going to end
Open your eyes friends your hearts your hands go out and help someone it doesn't have to be money it can be as simple as kind words telling them to have a beautiful day or lend a helping hand open the door for someone or if they drop something pick it up off the ground and hand it to them and tell them to have a beautiful day that is the only way that this world is going to change if we be kind to each other and stop fighting and bickering
Have a beautiful day and remember go out and make someone smile because that's what makes the world a better place

Fun mail!!

Wheel on.....

I just learned this afternoon that a sweet friend of mine passed away

A few years ago I had the privilege of being one of the head judges for Ms. wheelchair Wisconsin 2015... I was contacted out of the blue by the sweet lady asking me if I would be willing to be a judge for her State pageant for Ms. wheelchair Wisconsin and then in turn she asked if my father would be willing to be another judge right beside me

At that time in my life I was having a really hard time dealing... with some issues I talked it over with my parents and my mom told me you can't pass up this opportunity... it's an opportunity of a lifetime my mom says and it's a time to just be yourself and be with your friends..... so that same day I was contacted by this sweet lady and I told her that we would be more than honored to come help her with her pageant..... she says to me I know it's short notice but I could use your help so a week later my parents and I packed up the car and drove all the way to Wisconsin to help the sweet lady

My dear friend thank you so much for giving me and my parents the opportunity in the privilege of helping you and becoming great friends

And thank you for helping me realize that I am more then what people can say or do to hurt a person and thank you for letting me have the opportunity to have some quality time with my parents

My parents and I will never forget the time we got to spend with you and get to know you

You are one of the most kindest sweetest gentle ladies in the world and now I hope you find your place in heaven and make a difference just like you did down on Earth.... watch over all of us and keep us safe

Love you my sweet friend and I will see you again

It's always nice to have some time with my parents before they go out on their Adventures again

They always make a point to stop in town before they go heading off to wherever

...

It was nice to have dinner with them they brought me some quarters and Mom brought me a new pair of mittens to keep me warm while they're gone

It's really nice to see them..... since I haven't really seen them for about a month

Thank you for stopping in town and spending some time with me this afternoon

I know I'm sitting down to write this really late but honestly I don't care because it's the weekend

I'm going to fully admit some days it's really hard being me..... now don't get me wrong I'm happy with who I am and where I am and what I've accomplished but there is just so much more than that I wanted to do or wish I could do and I'm hoping someday that I get to accomplish all of that and some of that I don't know what it is yet but as the days pass me by... I will figure it out

This new chair has been really hard for me to get used to I really don't know how to explain it but it's been really hard..... I don't know what it is or why but I really feel out of my element.... maybe it's cuz I'm afraid to admit to myself that things are getting harder to do.... my body is tired but yet when I want to go to bed I'm wide awake

I'm finally getting to the point with this new chair that I figured out a way to safely transfer in and out of it.... it takes me a little bit but I accomplished it.... there's a big part of me that is glad that nobody sees me do my transfers.... that's one part of myself that I like to keep to myself especially with this new chair

If you've gotten to this point and you're feeling out of your element tonight just be glad that you can safely take care of yourself and you don't have to work as hard as I do every single day and yet I wear a smile every single day because I think that's what people want to see when really some days all I want to do is cry because some days are just hard

Be happy with who you are because in an instant things could change

Hello

Taking time to sit down and write a little bit today to let all of you know that we currently have almost eight boxes sitting here ready to be mailed an...d my goal is to get those mailed over the winter months

Now I know I often tell you that we are currently working on mailing boxes which is true but lately it's been more difficult because the Minnesota weather has been so unpredictable for me to get out of the house and mail things

If you currently do not know I myself use a wheelchair on a daily basis to get around I was born with a disability called cerebral palsy that is why sometimes mailing things is very slow because it all depends on if there is nice weather or if I'm able to get someone that is willing to take me to mailboxes and of course it always depends on finances as well because without funds you really can't mail them :-)

But like I always say I love running this little business out of my house and being able to do it at my own pace without anybody telling me when I have to get things out and mail them which makes it a lot easier on me but as always no worries eventually everything that I have done in my house will be mailed at some point

As things are mailed I will always post updates on the Facebook page for sure so check back periodically because you never know when I'm able to get a box mailed

Please remember it's not how much I get mailed at once it's the fact that I'm trying to make a difference and make people smile at my own pace

And as always it helps me feel like I'm making a difference in my own way

If you would like to make a donation today please do so every little bit helps and go so far

Thank you for taking the time to read this today and I'm wishing you all the best and I will keep posting as things are done and as things get mailed

Have a wonderful day and remember go out and make someone smile because that's what makes the world a better place

Misty

Feeling like its offcial now!!
