Please Can This Be An Actual Episode

My brain, having a meltdown like a toddler: I just can’t do it! I don’t want to !! I can’t!! Me, parenting my tired toddler brain: Take a deep breath, it’s going to be ok. We don’t have to do everything today that’s overwhelming you. Let’s pick the most important thing to work on, ok? What’s the smallest step we can do to work towards that? My toddler brain, wiping away tears: Um, I think we should…open up the important spreadsheet and look at the first row. Me, parenting my tired toddler brain: Great! Let’s do that, and then we can have a popsicle, ok? My toddler brain: *nods through drying tears, upset, but cooperative*

So I work at a library and about a month ago I helped a little old woman who is legally blind figure out how to listen to our audiobooks on her tablet. We got to chatting and I mentioned that I always listen to audiobooks while I knit, which made her very excited and she told me all about the afghans she used to make when she could still see. She was so sweet and I was so glad to be able to help her figure out a way to still enjoy books without being able to read.

Yesterday I answered the phone at work and when I said my name the woman on the other line got so excited and said “Madeline?? You’re exactly who I wanted to talk to! This is Marie, you helped me about a month ago. How late are you working today?” It was her!! And about an hour later she and her husband showed up, and she was carrying a huge stack of old knitting patterns for me, and her husband brought in a few boxes full of yarn. They couldn’t stay long but I was so touched that she remembered me, and I struggled to not just flat out start crying when she handed me the patterns. When I looked through them later I realized it was her entire personal collection from over the years, including all her personal notes and drawings and even some photographs of her finished pieces. No one in my family knits, and to have someone pass on their legacy to me like that was incredibly moving.

This isn’t what I usually post here, but with life being especially dark lately I wanted to share a moment of happiness and a reminder that a bit of kindness goes a long way ♡

Guys!!! Take Yo Meds!!

It's okay to take meds even if it's for a life time. They are trying to compensate for what's lacking. Don't listen to the mean beans that tell you that it's because you are weak and you just want to take the easy way out. LIES! Your brain is having trouble producing the right chemicals so you need some extra help. Think about how people take insulin because their body can't produce enough. It's the same idea folks! They are mad at you for taking something their brain is already producing! Meds aren't the easy way out, there also needs to be other changes in your life to help with your specific type of illness but therapy alone cant talk your chemicals into balancing so you need renewed thoughts and balanced chemicals to truly make progress! It's not an attitude adjustment, it's an adjustment that's needs to be made on the cellular level! Meds don't take all the pain away but it allows you to see a situation more realistically and for you to see more clearly your thoughts and the thoughts of illness so you can make happier choices. It works on the part that your helpless with so you can start learning how to help yourself in the areas you can eventually do something about. I LOVE GOD. I know he does miracles everyday. However, he uses people and the situations in life to answer our prayers. He sent you the doctor and he is giving you the opportunity to take medicine to better your health. He uses ordinary situations in extraordinary ways. Sometimes he doesn't just miraculously make the storms disappear, he wants to walk with us through the storm and take us step by step into healing. May God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit bless you more than you ever thought he would.

btw… important PSA: cutting off the mold on the surface of food does nothing. you can only see the spores on the surface, but mold itself has spread and grown roots into the food. by the time you can actually *see* the spores, that piece of food is completely full of it. youre still eating mold. 

many of which are poisonous and have been shown to cause cancer. youre not even supposed to sniff it, because that can get spores into your lungs. like if you look up the health and safety guidelines for mold they barely stop short of telling you to put on a hazmat suit. 

like produce is okay as long as you cut around it at least an inch, but cooked foods? you gonna die. stop eating mold people
