Chewing Gum

Inhale. Exhale. Not settled yet? Let’s try that again. Inhale. Exhale. Welcome to a Hit of Hope, and fair warning—this one is salty. What is making your bum chew gum? The grandmother of a dear and fierce friend of mine often said that, and it’s perfect for those times when life is making you grrrrr instead of sigh with wonder and delight.

Your salty ones are my favorites. And now I want lasagna!!!!!! 🤪🧡🤪

This made me smile…..😁Loved it! Thank you dear Betsy!🙏🏻❤️

Thank you very much.. The perfect start to any day. One to return to with a chuckle for when life feels too lifey as you’ve put it brilliantly more recently.

I “chew gum" when my Lupus flares so much that I want to throw myself in front of a city bus! The problem with that is is that I don’t have enough energy to get out of bed and get out the door and down the street. I have a 97 year old aunt who always says,” Oh, it will get better. It always does”. I know she’s right but that really isn’t helpful when I feel like shit! She is 97 and said she really knows what pain feels like! I’d like to give her my pain and ask her how she feels then. I DO know it will eventually get better, but at that moment I feel like I will feel awful forever! (because she is 97, I don’t tell to go screw herself like I do when my sister says it. For one day I would like all the people who criticize me to walk (if that’s possible) to walk in my shoes. When I am hurting so bad, I really can’t take that crap from them. LEAVE ME ALONE!🤬

Hmmm, interesting analogy Betsy... With all the Xmas prep/festivities soon beginning, I'll try to stay out of that pot!
