So… I am almost fully recovered from covid. I am a little weary, but I am feeling pretty normal. I need to get back to working out, but it has taken much of my energy just working at my job. I am really going to try to get back to the gym this week.

Life has gone crazy. My home is even more full than usual with an additional pair of 18 year old girls who need a safe place to stay. We are helping them, and there is an awful lot of uncertainty and much work to do as they manage huge transitions in their world. I get to have so many young “adults” in my life… The greatest privilege ever is to love and help them!!

My diet is horrid. It is like it is the last thing I want to think about. I know I could and should do better. Getting sick threw me, but then it is the emotional strain of this new situation that is keeping me off balance. This is for sure an excuse, but it is actually quite real. Many nights now of little sleep and so much stress trying to figure out what to do makes me utterly not care about what I eat at that moment. I’ll keep trying.

My table today is full of flowers from my yard!

Don't push it too much right now Melissa, you need to give yourself time to physically recover from Covid. Love this houseful of young people, but don't forget to love yourself. Your flowers are so beautiful, I would have some in every room in the house. (((HUGS)))

Covid's really good at derailing a healthy diet. You'll get back on track soon. Plenty of support here :-) Taking on 2 young adults in need of help is a lot of stress, I've been there. Sending you peaceful energy full strength. And remember to take care of you! We can't help others when we're using up our reserves! Another power pack of energy on the way to you ..... :-)

Your flowers are gorgeous! Take your time with your recovery; don't put too much on yourself. Enjoy the moment. Your diet will improve as you start to feel better.

Gorgeous flowers! I hope you're back to feeling well soon.❣️ Every day should be meal planning/shopping/cooking on a budget lessons for all of the young people in your home. It's a life skill that isn't usually taught but will serve them throughout their lives while helping you get meals on the table. I made my teenage sons do it and they're really good cooks. Everyone wins! Just a thought.

Oh sweet precious Melissa, if I ever need a haven to escape too, I know where to go. 😂😂 Your heart is bigger than the world. But like others have said, please be careful that you do not burn out. Sometimes we want to help others but we are the ones that need help ourselves. It can be humbling but it can also be life-saving. Just be mindful. Praying for those girls. We are dealing with one ourselves. So many hurting souls and hardly anyone that cares. God bless you my dear. You and your family really put feet to your faith. It’s easy to say oh let’s help someone or oh yes I’ll do whatever I can but most people never do anything. You are living proof that you do the hard work. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful arrangements! Do maintenance and stay as healthy as you can as you continue to recover. Covid already stole progress and health from you. It will be a while before you fully realize how much. It’s not a simple “my fever broke; I’m okay now”. Please don’t run yourself down further.

Hang in there kiddo! Things will work out. They always do. The kids will find their way and you will get strong and healthy in no time!

Those girls are lucky to have found a safe and loving home. Good for you- giving them shelter from the storm. Maybe they can help you out too.

Princess, I absolutely know without a doubt you would do the same if your girls brought home some kids needing help! ❤️😊 Shir, I went to bed early last night and got a full 8 hours. I feel alive today! Thanks for the hugs and all of your endless support! 🤗💖 Breezy, I think I finally feel ready to launch back into recording calories and being more careful. I really appreciate your prayers. This has been a wild time and will continue to be challenging for a while I think. 😘🙏

Thanks, Pinay! I love sitting here, as I am currently, at my flowery table! Ridemariel, thanks for your well wishes! Erquiaga, I am enjoying the gifts and privileges of having a full house and many blessings! Thank you for your constant encouragement!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Diana, you are a dear! I am honored to be trusted by those who need help. I can't fix everything.. Sometimes I am so frustrated by the limits of what I can do, but I can give safety and food and a place to be unconditionally accepted. ❤️😊

Thank you, RunnerNG. I do love flowers. 🌹💐A touch of tranquility and beauty! 2melons, those are good skills to have and good ideas, but at the moment our focus is on more pressing issues. We make sure everyone has enough to eat! 😊Thank you, Lovelyle, p$m, NAVYWIFESKI, and buenita! I am feeling pretty good now and I'm catching up on some rest last night. ❤️❤️❤️

Wifey, ❤️thank you for your support and kind words. I think we have been blessed with proximity to those who have need. Many would help, but we are known to be available. That is all! 😊 Our hope is to always show sacrificial love to others whenever given the opportunity. I am a little worried right now. We dont know the next steps, but we are taking one day at a time!
