Truth About Resilience, Reflection, Self Love, and Growth

The Truth About Resilience, Reflection, Self Love, and Growth You’re never too old to learn life lessons, grow, or reinvent yourself, even if your confidence is shattered from past life trauma. You can learn from it or let it destroy your self esteem. Become who your past self meant for you to be and choose to focus on the lesson rather than just the pain, which allows you to grow. Rebuilding involves rediscovering your true identity beneath the trauma. New things and people come a long. But you got to rebuild yourself and find your true self you want to be. When you start doing good with that, you’ll live and forget the trauma, it won’t be fully but you’ll remember the lesson that the Lord up above put upon you. Things don’t work out sometimes because He above has something better for you in the future as long as you self love yourself for who you are. Life lessons learned become part of your strength, and the pain diminishes over time.

Normal or Different Christmas Traditions And Memories

-

Well, another Christmas is done. It gets different every year that I grow older. This year was no big family get together. Just me and my spouse, my Aunt Michelle, a couple of close friends, and our dog and cats. I did decorate the house some and put up the Christmas tree. We had a pot roast for dinner and peppermint ice cream for dessert.  We all recalled memories of Christmases past, family and friends and pets gone. Remembering traditions,  the sights, sounds, scents and tastes of memories of Christmases gone. It was kind of sad... but also was nice! 

Recently, I read a terrific article in our local newspaper online about how, during WWII, when people were living through that nightmare, a number of songs were composed meant to reassure them that one day all would be normal again. Although we are not at war, we are certainly in a time when we dream about life being 'normal' again.

As we are currently celebrating the Holidays,

hot cocoa
let's remember those who may not be home... our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, nurses, utility workers... all who give up their holiday season so we can have ours. I am extremely grateful for the knowledge of God, a roof over my head, food in my belly, and an adequate circle of family and friends both close to me and scattered afar. 

By the way, does anyone else put fluffy cream on top of there cup of hot cocoa or is it just me? I like the fluffy cream better than marshmallows because it’s soft and melts easier. I think marshmallows usually are too stale and don’t add as much flavor like the fluff does. I got this Christmas mug as a gift. 😁

May God bless and keep you all now, and into the new year of 2026!

    I understand what you are saying. It’s often said at certain points in life. There’s two of us and our 4 cats. You can decide what you would like Christmas to be. So many abandon traditions because they are in a different circumstance. Keep the traditions, decorate the house, etc. Do not abandon Christmas, continue making new memories. New memories are always to be made!

This is a rare photograph taken on March 21, 1958 by an unknown photographer of an unused grave that Ed Gein had dug for one of his last victims, a future victim, or maybe for unwanted body parts. This photo was captured the day after his isolated house at N5691 2nd Ave, Plainfield, Wisconsin 54966 had burned to the ground. The farmhouse and all of his farm property was going to be sold by auction on March 30, 1958 (his arrest day was Nov. 16, 1957). As of today this place is off the market private property with a no trespassing sign posted at the main roadside entrance.

Unsolved Cold Case Mystery In A Small Town

-

 On April 15, 1963 at about 8 a.m., Geraldine Patton Williams was found decapitated at age 43 in her small family-owned meat market in West Frankfort Heights of Southern Illinois. She probably officially died on April 14th, if before midnight. The police entered Patton's Market located at 1716 E. Main St. when she did not open as usual that morning. They found her body dressed in a bra and nylons, her blouse was found neatly folded on a crate of bottles with the electric saw that was used as a meat cutter still running. Her torso and body were on the floor laying belly down, while her head, cleanly cut at her shoulders, was propped on a shelf next to the meat cutter. Despondent over the death of her husband eight years prior, it was thought that she somehow swung herself onto the waist high meat cutter neck first, decapitating herself. Geraldine had gone through hundreds of her store's receipts the night before she was found, and it was assumed there was no robbery from the sto...
