Faith has such power to get us through tough times. I start my days with Bible devotionals, praise music and hymns and prayer. Helps me stay focused on what's really important and helps with my CBT… read more
I'm on the east coast of SC, and the summers are so sweaty here thanks to the humidity. 🥵
Our power bills have been around the $100 mark, which actually isn't bad considering we (my mom and I) live in a single-wide (1,280 sqft). We use 3 window units, one 12k BTU for the middle of the house, and two 8k BTU units for each end of the house in our bedrooms. It keeps us and the pets comfy.

Unfortunately people “don’t get it” until they get it!
Lucky you for getting five hours. I go days without sleeping. I can take up to 10 valium and it doesn’t even phase me.

This manifests in physical symptoms like increased heart rate and butterflies in the stomach. Some examples of this are unwillingness to join online games, difficulty in consistently practicing the piano. Panicky feelings if I screw up at work or upset someone who has the power to kick me out of their home. Yet I know those failures are what helps us… read more
