Fears




Dear Diary...
 
 
I know everyone has fears and maybe there are people out there that have some of the same fears I do. Sometimes I feel like I am totally alone though. My brain does a lot of racing throughout the day since I have Bipolar Disorder sometimes I can't shut a lot of it down. I have some of the most common fears, spiders, snakes, not being the best I can be, failing at something, but now I have a huge fear....my surgery!
 
 
I finally got the call the other day that I need to do is wait on insurance approval and then schedule my pre-op visit and then I will be well on my way to my surgery! Part of me can't wait, I can't wait to start this new chapter in my life, a healthy chapter. I can't wait to be able to do simple things like cross my legs like a lady, go shopping for clothes and not have to go to just certain departments. There are so many other little things that are going to be huge for me!
 
 
Fear, I fear the liver shrink diet, I fear that I will fail, I fear the pain of the surgery, I fear that I won't meet my goals!
 
 
I know that these fears are legit BUT I can't focus on them! I can't set myself up for failure! I have to set my mind to this and accomplish and go as far as I can! I know I can do it!
 
 
So can you...

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself.  I just don't like what follows... winter!  However I love walking in my home and smelling  the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in  of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put  in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle  or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep  adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you  will not have to keep adding water and you can keep  it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot?  What do you normal...
