      What if you changed your narrative/story/beliefs.?
      I am going to say you would have a completely different experience of your life.
      I am sorry you are all kinds of messed up. I feel messed up too. But I sit down and strategize. I’m here. I want to be there.
      How can I fill the gap? I’m not perfect but I can try. And adjust my course accordingly.

    My name is Tracy and I sent the upholstery tacks. They are for putting up your fairy lights and other lightweight decor items. I thought I filled in the “send a note” part of the order. Sorry!!

And still couldn't fix it because he has found some really bad messed up wires. Now I gotta get it towed to his shop. Where he said he can definitely fix everything.

    Get a set of trekking poles. I know that sounds like overkill for a walk, but they are a game changer for stability, and for efficient use of energy. Plus, when younuse them, you get a full-body workout because your arms are also very engaged. It strengthens your body, and your brain communication between hemispheres (this is also sort of how EMDR therapy helps people), and helps with confidence if you feel clumsy or unsteady.
    I have MS and am a part time wheelchair/forearm crutches user.
    I go on miles-long dirt path hiking trails solo with my dog with my poles. That's how confident and dtable they make me feel. đŸ„°

    Hi Birdie! So fun watching you open your gifts! I hope you do this each time you receive gifts!! 🎁 Can’t wait to hear you play your new instrument! I used to play the ukulele, and it brought be great joy!! I also am allergic to the Sun. People think I am joking. But I get the same red dots all over me, and they itch and burn at the same time. Ugh! Can’t wait to see you in your “Sun Allergy Protective Gear.” 😊 So glad you have been able to start a savings account $$. We all need a cushion for unforeseen emergencies!! And I am so happy that you and your daughter have been doing some fun things together!! It is wonderful that she can tell you are doing better! It’s good for her mental health, as well, which is terrific!! Thank you again for everything you do for us, Birdie!! You bring laughter and joy into our lives. You can’t put a price on that
..because it’s priceless! 💗 Can’t wait for your next video! Until then, take care and know how much you are loved!! đŸ„°đŸŒž

    Birdie, my love language is gifts. I no longer receive them, but, not a problem now as I am working on decluttering to be as minimalist as I can. However, I felt so much joy and love watching you open up each wonderful gift. It was like I was opening gifts for me. Even better though because I don’t have to find a place for them. I’m so happy for all you have received and only wish I could send you something tangible. My thoughts and prayers will have to suffice. I love your heart and how much you show your gratitude. Enjoy the many blessings these wonderful souls have bestowed upon you. Safe travels and enjoy your journey! Rita from Missouri. To clarify, I am not the same Rita that sent gifts. I don’t want to take credit for her generosity. Take care.
