Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.
View all responses

I think one decision that helped me a great deal to learn and grow was when I was twenty years old. It was the first major decision I made as an adult and I don’t regret it however if I were to have to make the decision now at forty-five I would not make the same decision. When I was twenty I considered myself a Christian and dealing with an eating disorder. An eating disorder that I greatly needed help with but my Medicaid didn’t pay inpatient or outpatient eating disorder treatment nor did I have the money to get it. So, after finding out there was a free residential program that I could go to in Nashville, I decided to apply to Mercy Ministries (now Mercy Multiplied). Not only was it free but a Christian program which was a plus for me at the time as I considered myself a Christian at the time. I was accepted into Mercy and graduated. I learned a great deal about myself and grew as a person. I felt like I grew up and became an adult while I was at Mercy. I learned a lot about myself and don’t regret going.

Daily Prompt; What Do You Do to Be Involved in the Community?

What do you do to be involved in the community?
View all responses

Involvement in one’s community looks differently for each individual. For me getting involved in my multiple communities looks slightly different in each community. The one thing that is not different in each of my communities that I will mention is I volunteer my time. For instance I am involved with the animal welfare cause in many ways and the main way I do this is to volunteer my time at PAWS Cat City. I also help my neighbors with their pets when they need it as well.

As far as other ways I am involved with my community is that I am highly active in the recovery movement. I used to work as a peer specialist in the mental health field and I hope to go back to work in the field as my mental health continues to improve after a major trauma last summer. I am also helping plan for the Peer Pathways Conference by volunteering my time doing it. To me being involved in the peer and recovery communities helps me with my own recovery.

Another way I am involved in my community is being involved in multiple activities in the queer community. One way I am doing that is playing in a queer sports league for kickball. I am loving it and having fun as well as making friends. I am also apart of a queer book club where we read books by queer authors and/or books about queers. I am enjoying it and having fun with it as well as making friends just like kickball. I just applied last week to volunteer at Lambert House which is a community center for queer teens. I am hoping that I can volunteer at Lambert House.

Daily Prompt; How Would You Improve Your Community

How would you improve your community?

Hello, World!!! There are many ways I would like to improve my community. The two ways that I would like to improve my community that popped up into my head was helping people with their recovery with mental health challenges and/or substances plus helping animals. Helping both animals and people at the same time is possible. I would improve helping animals by helping companion animals such as dogs and cats to their furrever home which is something I do when I volunteer at a local animal shelter. Another way I can improve my community is to go back to work in the mental health field to help people with their recovery once my own mental health improves a little more. Hell, I don’t need to work to do that, I can just reach out to friends who struggle. I can also just stop and talk with someone who is asking for food or money even if I don’t have either to help the person. There are several ways to improve your community, you just have to find at least one that you are passionate about to help.

The last live performance I saw was a concert, March of last year (2023). In fact I went and saw Amy Grant in concert in Bremerton, Washington. I had a blast attending the concert. I had so much fun and met some new friends that I have been keeping in contact with since then. One of my favorite parts was when I was waiting by Amy Grant’s bus as she was leaving, I got to briefly talk with her and got a belated birthday hug from her. I love Amy Grant’s music.

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?
View all responses
  1. Cats- Cats bring me happiness especially my cat, Billie. In fact I would not be volunteering at PAWS Cat City if cats didn’t bring me happiness.
  2. Friends – My friends bring me happiness on the daily basis. I would not know how I could function without my friends because they have been there for me.
  3. Family – As dysfunctional as my family is, they bring me happiness as I know they love me in their own way and do the best they can to show me.
  4. Art – Art brings me happiness. Actually doing art is what brings me happiness. Specifically I enjoy coloring. I also enjoy rock painting which is something I just started doing.
  5.  Reading – Reading is something that also brings me happiness as it helps me get out of my head when I am struggling with things. Hell, it is fun to do even when I am doing well.

My favorite restaurant is Red Robin. I have been going to Red Robin since I was a kid living in California. I would go to Red Robin as a teenager in California as well as here in Washington (State) whenever I went to the mall with my friends. In fact Red Robin started here in Seattle. Most people don’t realize that. I love going to Red Robin with friends as well as family. In fact it is a family tradition to go to Red Robin for birthdays. Red Robin has awesome food and I usually get the same thing. I love Red Robin.

Do you vote in political elections?
View all responses

Yes, I do vote in political elections. I vote in elections to help my voice be heard even though it feels like my voice is not heard due to the electoral college. I understand to a degree why it was originally put into place however I think it should no longer be part of the voting process as it doesn’t allow the people’s voice to be heard anymore. Anyway, I vote in political elections so the voice of the people is heard.

What’s the most fun way to exercise?
View all responses

I find multiple ways to have fun exercising but the two main things that come to mind are not the usual ways most people do for fun to get exercise. Those two things are kickball and roller hockey. In fact I am currently on a kickball team for the spring season and I am having fun with it. I will be taking the summer season off due to the fact that I just found out that there is an outdoor roller hockey season here in Seattle so I will be doing that. I love both kickball and roller hockey. I also enjoy rollerblading and do it on nice days around Greenlake here in Seattle. I like to do other things as well but these are things I have the most with as of right regarding exercise.

Plans on Blogging

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! I know I have written about blogging more to keep you the reader more interested in reading my blog. The ways I have started to do this is doing Weekly Plans on Sunday mornings, Caturday with Billie on Saturday mornings and Weekly Check-Ins on Saturday evenings. I realize that blogging more than two days a week with three posts a week will need to be increased. I thought about doing daily prompts starting this Monday on weekdays which is Monday through Friday. I plan on doing daily prompts that WordPress provides. I hope they keep you the reader interested in continuing to read my blog. I will also write other posts as well on whatever moves me to write a blog post.

I realize this is a brief post as I do not have much more to write about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader continue reading my blog. If it was not for you the reader continuing to read my blog, I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Lack of Blogging = Regular Blogging Schedule

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! My blogging or the lack there of has me thinking about creating a schedule to blog at least two to three times a week. I plan on blogging Sunday mornings and posting Weekly Plans. On Saturday Mornings, I plan on doing Caturday with Billie and Friends which will be pictures of my cat Billie and cats from friends as well as cats I work with at my volunteer job at PAWS Cat City. Then on Saturday evenings, I will do a Weekly Check-In. I figure that if I schedule blogging into my calendar that I will keep you my reader at least semi-interested in continuing to read my blog.

Another thing I am considering doing happens to be daily prompts. Not sure when I will start them much less how long I will do them and the frequency. I most likely will do daily prompts that WordPress does as they tend to be good prompts in my opinion a good portion of the time.

I do not have much more to discuss or write about in this particular blog post. I do want to thank you for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog, I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!
