Share 4 Somethings, July 2025

 

Happy Saturday, friends! Sorry about the late start to this post; would you believe it totally slipped my mind? This may not be shocking to you, now that I think of it; anyway, better late than never! I'm glad you're here to link up with me today for Share 4 Somethings, when we talk about some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of this month. I'll jump right in! 

I loved all the travel and fun things I got to do this month! 

I also loved celebrating the fourth of July with my brother Trey and his son Jax while they were in town and staying with me. It's been an epic month!

I learned (am still learning) that actions speak louder than words. 

Something that went well was the redecorating and repainting of my home!

I love how it all turned out, and I'm finding that I love to be in my home again! 

Something I let go of again this month are my expectations. I will say this to myself until the day I die; if I go into something with no expectations, it's less likely that I'll be hurt or let down. Life feels hard sometimes; this has nothing to do with my ex-husband and his girlfriend. We've actually been okay recently, which I am thankful for. This has to do with the stupid, shallow dating pool, and being a victim of unspeakable things that men to do women to try to get them to date them these days. It's horrible, and I always am so tempted to just stop trying and meet someone "in the wild" as they say nowadays. I don't want to talk about that anymore, though, so don't pry! I'm trying to forget some things and definitely one person in particular. 

I always hate to end on a negative note, so I'm going to talk about some things that I'm grateful for from this month:

• the never ending mercy and love of God
• my amazing family (sons, parents, siblings)
• my friends, particularly Marilyn because she is my safest space and the only one who totally gets my life right now and what I've walked through the last year
• the gift of travel
• meeting a new friend through a traumatic life event and messaging her for hours on end about our similar (very disturbing and scary) circumstances
• loving being at home again
• my new job that I have to look forward to
• life in general~I have so much to look forward to in the next few months
• late night conversations over the phone
• sweet Jerry...proof that I can date someone, end things kindly and in a mature manner, and still be friends with him...he checks on me regularly and sends me funny things over Instagram all the time
• perspective...once again, it is everything

Sorry again about the lateness of this post, but thanks for being patient! I'm glad you were here to link up with me today...I'll keep this up and going for a couple of weeks. Love to all, and happy Saturday!
