Daily gratitude

Daily gratitude
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

From Misty!.....Misty's KeyChains!

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

Daily gratitude
Sorry I've been lacking in my posts..... I'm just needed to take some time and reflect on some things that are going on in my life right now
As most of you know I've been dealing with insurance issues and as of now it's still all up in the air I haven't heard anything hoping to hear something this next week if not I plan on calling on Friday to see what is going on
...
I also found out late last week that my doctor down in the cities at courage Kenny rehabilitation institute is switching all her patients to St Paul
So as of right now who my doctor is at courage Kenny rehabilitation institute is all up in the air they called me late last week and inform me of this and asked me if I wanted to transfer with my doctor or stay at courage Kenny rehabilitation institute and switch to another doctor
Although I'm very grateful for the doctor that I currently have because if it wasn't for her I probably would not be sitting here writing this daily gratitude for you this evening she is the one that made the decision to switch my pump out with a new one so that I could start out fresh and new with a new experience and let me tell you it's been life-changing
She was also the doctor that help me start the process to get my new chair which will be also life-changing as soon as I get it November it will be a year so we'll see if I get it before the year is up or after.... to me the waiting process is the hardest
Things have been hard with this new diagnosis of osteoporosis but in the long run my life is great my pain is minimal on a daily basis besides the fact that it's always there constantly
So here is what's going to happen as of right now they are going through these changes and they will let me know as soon as possible when they know who my new doctor is going to be which in turn I probably will have to go down there with for a couple appointments to get into know this person but in the long run it will be okay I am choosing to stay at courage Kenny rehabilitation institute because I travel to these appointments more often than not by myself and I do not want to have to transport myself in the Saint Paul..... going to Minneapolis is Far Enough by myself
So if I'm silent over the next couple weeks bear with me as I work through these obstacles and believe me I'm sure I will come out on the other side with a smile on my face or with an optimistic attitude at least
Today I love each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart please know that and that I'm here for each and everyone of you as well
As you go to bed tonight I hope that god holds you in his hands and let you wake up tomorrow for another beautiful day
Say a little prayer for someone you love today
Have a great night

Friends....

Daily gratitude
It is amazing sometimes how just a few words can pick you up when you're feeling down
How just one person with just a few words can turn your day around when it doesn't start out so good
...
If you're feeling down this morning and you just feel like your day is going to be so long please know that I love you and that I hope you have a great day
Dustin Morehouse thank you for making me smile this morning and making me realize that the day will be okay even though some things are frustrating
I love you and I miss you and it will always be that way for sure when you come to St. Cloud we should get together I'm all for that
Maybe even when Angie comes to town we can plan something so you can come up and see both of us..... I'm sure that would be a fabulous time we always seem to make good memories when we see each other
Love you so much sweetheart and thank you for making me realize that the day isn't so bad and I will get through it
