Sunday thoughts 😇




Lately—like, really lately (yesterday and today)—I’ve been doing some serious thinking about the future. Not in a doom-scrolling, panic kind of way… but in a “what on earth is going on here?” kind of way.


It feels like somewhere along the line, we lost the ability to just… talk. I remember when people—maybe not always agreeing—could at least sit down, have a conversation, and not immediately jump to name-calling, eye-rolling, or verbal boxing matches. Now? It’s like everyone’s carrying around emotional gasoline just waiting for a spark.


And it’s not just people—it’s everything. The tone, the tension, the constant noise. It makes you wonder: when did we decide that being loud was more important than being kind?


I’ll admit, sometimes it makes me feel like the world is speeding toward some kind of breaking point 😬


I remember asking my pastor when I was about 10 years old, “When is God going to end the world?”

His answer? “When we stop asking.”


At the time, I’m pretty sure that was the “let’s keep the kid calm” version of the truth—but honestly, it stuck with me. Because maybe the point isn’t when… maybe it’s how we’re living in the meantime.


Which brings me to the bigger question: why are we even here?


I used to think I had that figured out—to be a good wife, a good mom, raise a good family… you know, check the boxes, do it right. And while I’ve done my best, I can also confidently say—I’ve missed the mark in places 😐😬 (haven’t we all?)


But I don’t think that’s the whole picture anyway.


It feels like there has to be something bigger. Something deeper. Maybe it’s about actually living the way we’ve always known we should—not perfectly, but intentionally. With kindness. With patience. With a little more grace than we feel like giving some days.


Because honestly? If we had been doing that all along, the world probably wouldn’t feel quite so upside down right now.


I know people believe different things, follow different paths, and see God in different ways—but I like to think the core message isn’t that complicated:


Just be a good human ❤️


Not perfect. Not flawless. Just… good.


And maybe, if enough of us tried a little harder at that, the future wouldn’t feel quite so heavy.

No real updates

  It’s been awhile, been trying to find my audience. No big updates, except that I’ll be going back South by the end of summer, this time to stay. Also I’m going to be adding products I use to my blog, hoping maybe it helps some of my followers and they pass it on. If you have some ideas about things you want me to review or find out about drop it in the comments! Another thing I’d like to do here is create a community for the late 50’s-60ish age group, especially those struggling with getting their type 2 diabetes in check, and living a great life! That’s all for now. *Stay Strong 😄

A little about me

My name is Sandi and I’m a Sixtyish female living in the Midwest and the South depending on the weather! I have suffered with type 2 diabetes for many years mostly uncontrolled, I have recently gotten it under control and have found some great tips, tricks and positive things to maintain. Here on this blog I’m hoping to inspire, help and answer questions others who have struggled or are just aging and need a positive vibe. There is no judgement here, I will be candid about my own journey both with aging and my chronic condition. There is always the possibility that I might rant a bit, bear with me please when that happens! 🙃😄 I have 3 grown sons, one daughter-in-law and one granddaughter. I have a great husband who is truly the love of my life ❤️ he saved me when I needed it, I’m so grateful.  I enjoy reading, crocheting , movie nights, eating out, wine and traveling; which I plan to do more of very soon. Life is good, life is also short, make it count!

A lot of things

  Today’s post is about a lot of things. First is eating right, I suck at that, I’d much rather snack throughout the day than cook! Thankfully I have a husband that is a tremendous cook, but with that I eat too much, soooooooooo, I’ve decided to go on the no carb, high protein Factor diet, so far it’s great, food is very tasty and there are lots of choices. I eat 3 meals and if I have to snack I eat almonds or vegetables. I’m maintaining a even blood sugar level being on that, so there is a suggestion for someone that needs one 😀 Next is being social. All my life up until about 5 years ago I was a social person, in my childhood and teens I was outside until I was called in, I was active in my church, choir ,camp, volunteering…. I had tons of friends. In my adult life I worked and went out nightly, had playdates with other moms when I had kids and once agin was active in church and volunteering. Now, I’m a home body, I have maybe 3 close friends, I’m happy, reading,crocheting,going...
