Happy Hump Day, STalkers! Yes, the title says 'women', but this pertains to men, too!

While plenty consider this time to be a season of joy, that's not always true for everyone. Joy can be hard to find due to:

  • Loss of loved ones
  • Health issues
  • Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
  • Job problems (my best friend lost her job last week)
  • Family problems
  • Simply overwhelmed by the hustle and hustle

It's important to remember that THE most important thing to take care of is YOU. We've heard the saying...

OT - Claustrophobia

I have severe claustrophobia - so bad that I cannot tolerate being in a crowded venue, unable to move around without touching people (nightmare for a Finn!). It's due to something my oldest brother did to me when I was 5yo. My entire family knows, but most are now of the opinion that I need to "just get over it". 

OT - Thankful Thursday

I am extremely thankful that my Dad is okay post-hurricane. His area was hit hard. But the house is livable with only minor damage. No power, but he has food to eat. This Daddy's Girl is so relieved! Feel like a boneless pile of goo now that the tension is gone from my muscles.

 

To everyone who sent prayers and good vibes, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

OT - the Anikis have a grandson!

We just zoomed with SS25, Mrs SS, and baby. 7 lbs 11 oz, 23 inches long, an adorable little mouth, and a full head of dark curls.

SS: Look, son! There's grandma and grandpa!

Mrs SS: They love you sooo much!

It's true... DH is over the moon and I am in love and cannot wait to kiss his precious little head! *air_kiss*

It's been a hot minute since I did one of these. I hope PB will take time to consider all of the things for which she can be thankful.

I am extremely thankful for the StepTalk family.

Yes, I consider StepTalk to be a family. We laugh, support each other, tell hard truths with caring, and reach out to those who are scared or hurting. Reading all of the comments on PB's last blog, witnessing this family reach out... I'm not crying. You're crying.
