So here’s one of those “life lately” or “currently” posts I see on blogs sometimes!
Current:
Mood: Happy! 😀 I’m sitting in a park on a warm, sunny afternoon with the scent of grass all around me. I was just reading a Buddhist book then stopped to do this post, what’s not to he happy about?!
Listening to: Birds & crickets chirping, the sounds of metal chains on the swings in the park, cars going by, people laughing
Drinking: iced tea
Looking forward to: birthday celebration with friends next weekend! (His birthday, not mine!)
Problem:
This:
I was recently attacked by a dog (extremely aggressive with humans for no reason) and this is one of the injuries. I’m struggling with the physical pain and temporary (hopefully!) physical limitations it has brought me. And there’s also the risk of infection. And I had a posttraumatic distressing dream about it after it occurred. This is the biggest bruise i ever had and probably ever saw and most painful. But I’m handling it with a positive attitude! Thankfully no stitches needed and I’m just taking care of it on my own, no medical attention (unless I need it later for any reason, hopefully not though).
And here’s a sweet surprise someone gave me!
♡♡♡♡
The sweet girl, (Amber), who gave me the cookies, also gave me this! She’s an artist (very talented one!) and let me choose whatever heart I wanted, as a gift! I see her hearts, with powerful words/messages, all around the city and this one is the one that resonates with me most. Stay. ♡ How beautiful! So thankful!
And!
I finally got a state id! I’m 31 years old and never had one! Lol It was so hard to get because I did not have all the documents I needed. I had no id or ss card and need one to get the other. But after a long, difficult process, here it is!
I currently work seven days a week and love it! ♡ I get to love & take care of animals each day, mostly dogs! ♡
And I want to share this quote I find so inspiring:
“Awareness is a process of deepening self-acceptance. It is neither a cold, surgical examination of life nor a means of becoming perfect. Whatever it observes, it embraces. There is nothing unworthy of acceptance.”
I hope you are having a beautiful day or night wherever in the world you are! Much love,
Xoxo Kim
Ouch your injury looks so painful! Wishing you a speedy recovery! xx
Thank you!! Yes it is painful! I have one on each leg but this one is the worst. Thank you for your well wishes! I appreciate it! ♡
That looks terrible – I hope you did go see a doctor. Sepsis comes on very quickly and can be fatal, so please take care of yourself! ❤
Thank you!! I put neosporin on the cuts and am careful to wear loose clothing. Thankfully it doesn’t seem to be getting any worse! ♡ I’ll definitely keep a close watch on it.
ouch!
um… no ss card? but are you not being paid? and money going to ss?
I had an original social security card and so an ss # and have a copy of that card but photo copies are not acceptable for a state id in Pennsylvania. They want an actual ss card. But to get an actual social security card, we need identification. One lady I talked to told me it’s a “vicious circle” for those of us who find ourselves without a state id and without a social security card. When I was a teenager, I ruined my original ss card and never got another one but my mom kept the copy one safe for me & my actual birth certificate. With that copy of the ss card & a certified letter by my doctor stating that I’m his patient and confirming other info about me, address, name…stuff like that, I was able to get an actual ss card. I had no idea a letter like that would count as proper documentation but it does! Thanking my lucky stars! (I was on the verge of losing my job!) Thankfully, I now have a photo ID and a new actual social security card (same number since birth but new card). Yes I get paid & legally/pay taxes and work for a legitimate company. You can follow our Instagram account & see lots of cute animals! My boss accepted a copy of my ss card & other documents/recommendations even though I did not have a photo id and he let me work for him. He knows my dr. So knew im who i say i am. But we’re going in with a bonding company now and they are requiring proper identification so I had to get movin’! Fortunately it has all worked out in my favor! 😀 lol What a long journey!
Wow! Quite the journey.
