Maggie Monday!
Hewoo! Guess wat! are you guesing? are you? ITS YOUR FAVORIT DAY OF DA WEEK AGIN!!!
yep, dats rite! its monday! and wat hapens on monday? I get on dis blog and say someting!
wel, nofing much has been hapening here laytly. But, i keep heering da peepl talking aboot samfing called a "Birfdey perty". I dont no wat this hole birfdey perty ting is, but i keep heering dem talk abbot somting called "Redwal" and and friday. I am guessing dat dis perty thing has something to do wif redwal, and is hapening on friday. dey also keep saying dat somon is going to be somfing called a otter, and somebody else is being a hare, and a hedhog, and a squirel. Unfurtunatly, since dey is just pretending to be a squirel, i cant chase dem :0( But i decided somefing! i is going to be a squirel too! dat way, wen i chas my tale, i is chasing a squirel! maybe i shood do dis pretend squirel thing moor often. Cause when i is chasing my tail, master thinks its funny! but wen i is chasing a squirel she goes "Maggie! leev it!" like dat. . . . . . so i think i will start pretending dat moor often, cause den i can chase squirels and hav fun, and master wont go "Maggie! leev it!" like dat! i alredy started to. Da mini master had a basket of acorns dat she brang in da howse, and squirels like eating acorns.Well, da basket spilled, and i been eating da acorns like a squirel! well. . . kinda. . . . I dont know how to clim trees. I is too short to reech da branchs. . . . hold on a second. . . . . . Squirels is shorter dan me! how can dey reech da branchs! dats not very fayr. . . . . .
Well, maybe i say somting agin next week, and report back aboot dis hole "Birfdey perty" thing. . . . Its very suspisious.

Is it "one of those days?"
We all have 'em. Those days when you wake up Feeling like you have been sucked of all motivation and just want to stay in bed. But then again you don't want to do that, because that would waste the day. But then again you don't want to get up because, well, you just don't want to! You finally convince yourself to get up, and it seems like the world is out to get you. Even the tiniest thing could set you off, the dog barking, the computer running slow, kids squabbling, the list could go on FOREVER! You either feel depressed, angry or just low on energy, and you may not even know why, Maybe something happened to put the day like that, or maybe you just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Either way, it's a bad day. Luckily, I didn't have one of them today :) but I have had em before, just like everyone else. So for all those days where taking a deep breath isn't enough, here is what I sometimes do. Keep in mind, you will probably not "want" to do any of them, because you would rather stay in bed. But non the less, they sometimes help me, even if I don't realize it.
Heres what I find to be the "Do's"
1.) do something you are good at.
This one seems to help me the most, even though I usually want to do it the least. Usually for me it's drawing something, or picking up a project I've been working on, writing a poem or playing music on my Violin. Not always cheery sounding music at first, but once I get the sad emotions out, by the time I'm done I'm usually playing "the battle hymn of the republic" in an upbeat tone, probably playing faster than its supposed to be played, adding in a few fancy extra notes and enjoying myself, even though I've never had a violin lesson in my life, and my Bowing is probably crooked, I'm probably not holding the violin right, and some of the notes are squeaky or raspy as can be! Now I've really gone and got off track ROFLOL! (actually just writing about that made me feel good!)
2.) Climb a tree and read a book.
Ok, ok, you don't have to actually climb a tree LOL (sometimes I do though, sit in a tree and read :) )
This helps me a little when I'm in a really depressed mood. Read a book that you really enjoy, even if it's for a younger age group. When you are done reading for a while, you might still feel "blah". it might help take the "sharp pain" but the "dull pain" might still be there if you know what I
mean.
3.) Pray
You don't necessarily even have to pray about the thing that's bothering you. You can, by all means pray for God to give you strength, patience, help you with this burden, ask for guidance, etc. But you could also just pray about something unrelated to your bad day. Maybe a prayer for a family member or friend, maybe thanks and praise. One thing in must warn though. I think (though I'm not positive) that if you Only pray when you are upset, then praying may trigger upset. (like a pavlov's dog response) so really you should pray at all times, happy sad, so-so, etc, but that's a different topic.
And here are the "Donts"
1.) Sit around and do nothing at all.
Even though it's the very thing you want to do the most, i think it makes it worse (even though I often do it )
The way I look at it is like Tea. Your mind is the teacup. The problem is the tea bag. The longer you let the tea bag sit in the teacup, just brewing there, the stronger the tea is going to taste. This is nothing against strong tea (I rather like it actually) its just the only good example I could come up with ;)
2.) Totally give up hope.
Don't do it! Where ever you are, whatever is wrong, when ever it happened, however it happened, who ever you are, as long as you are alive, there is hope. Even if it doesn't feel like there is. Put your trust in God, and take heart knowing that there is hope, and dwelling on whatever the issue is going to make it worse.
3.) try doing something you are not very good at.
Oh yeah, this one gets me alot!
Course, sometime you have to, but sometimes you can avoid it.
Example: Maggie is not the best at walking on a leash yet, she is getting there, but I'm not the best trainer in the world. So, almost every morning a take her for a walk, and when im in a bad mood, and she starts straying in front or something, Snap! There goes my last bit if patience. Goodbye, my last bit of sanity! (bit of exaggeration…………maybe. ;) ) the whole walk turns into a bad experience for us both!
It's true, you have to get your dog exercise, and If you don't want your arm pulled off, you have to train em too. But maybe in those days I should just take her out in the backyard and play fetch. If its something you have to do, try doing it a "less strict"way. Or if possible, try one of the Do's. If you can't do either, then At least try to look at it a different way or calm down.
Keep in mind that everyone's minds are different. What works for me, may not work for you, and vice versa. But it's worth a shot if it means you might have a chance of fixing the rest of the day and not being in misery. :)

Happy feast of the Assumption!
Happy feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary into Heaven! This is the day where Mary was taken up the Heaven by God. A few things I would like to share with you, that you might find interesting :)
First, I read something strikes a very good point. It told the difference between Mary's assumption and Jesus' Ascension.
Ascension: Jesus rose up to heaven by his own power.
Assumption: Mary rose up to heaven by God's power.
I never really thought of the difference before, so it was good to see this.
Next. I know that alot of Non-Catholic religions may think that Catholics worship Mary. Sadly, you have been misinformed. We do not Worship Mary, we pray differently to Mary than we do to God. When Jesus was during in the cross for us sins, gave Mary to us as our mother. So alot of times we are talking to Mary like we would our mother. We ask for her prayers for us to God, and for her to intercede for us and to help us gain virtues. Yes, we do thank her and honor her for what she did here on Earth, but it's not worship.
So there are a couple of good facts for you. I hope you had a blessed day.

Arm yourselves.
A time is drawing near where our Religious freedom, along with a few other rights are at risk. Already our consciences are being torn, and innocent children are dying everyday. So, arm yourselves, warriors of God! Arm yourselves with Prayer, Faith, Sacraments, Truth, Hope and charity, Arm yourselves with goodness, righteousness, chastity, and courage. Take heart, warriors. Your Prayers are not in vain. For The Lord hears them all. You may not get the answer you want, or when you want it, but have faith, He hears you. Have hope, dear friends. For as long as we live there is always hope. Hope for peace, Hope for goodness, Hope for this world to turn away from its dark paths, to the true paths of light. I heard it said somewhere ( don't know by whom or when) that all it takes for evil to triumph is for Good people to do nothing. So take action, dear warriors! Take action with haste! Pray as you have never prayed before, Live and Love as if there is no tomorrow, for you never know when the day shall come that you shall be called by the Lord,
Steer yourselves away from sin and evil. Walk in the light always, and do good works. We must prepare ourselves for the time coming, when we will have to take a stand for our faith, our freedom, our families. So arm yourselves in virtue, arm yourselves with prayer. Do not forget two of your greatest weapons, the Rosary and the Bible.
Stand firm in your faith friends, and trust in the Lord always.
