      Hi Kimberly! Good to see you again. I know I said all of this before but I love it when you cook, and your soups always look delicious. I drink tea like you! All day long, I try to take breaks with water, which I drink from a mug, LOL. I try to drink distilled water, and my regular water from the tap I use a filter with. Who knows whats in that! Love to see the kitties. I have days like yours so tired, and trying to find some useful things to do. Sometimes i just have to say oh well. I am half way through The Picture of Doria Gray and am loving it! I have the book you are reading on my TBR list. I love the fall and winter too! Have a lovely week! hugs from Mary Ann . . . 🤗❤🧡💛🏵🍁🍁🍂🍁🍁

      thank you Mary Ann! 🥰 Here in sweden all tap water is clean to drink, we apparently have one of the worlds cleanest tap water if I remember correctly! so drinking bottles of water is very uncommon here unlike what I have seen in the us (or at least what I have been told).
      I like the picture of Dorian Grey also but I really want to read the uncensored version some day! 😍
      Have a nice week too! 💚🥰🍂

I'd love to have a real life friend like you and having a cup of tea together because you'd understand the challenges of this illness. But even over youtube it feels like you're my friend! Thank you. I loved this video very much and i think you're amazing keeping up such a healthy routine. Much love 😍

    I love seeing and hearing Edward! I'm sure you know how helpful to daily coping he is. My very elderly kitty died almost 2 years ago and I am not yet in a position to get another animal companion. I don't have schizophrenia, but I do have other medical challenges that can make life difficult. Since Roxy died, I find I struggle to have a morning routine. My morning was structured around making sure her needs were met. I'm so glad that you have Edward!

    My favorite time of year is coming up when I can wear my heavy brown coat with the hood again. 50deg and below is best for me. Yep my wife has SZ and comes home from the grocery store wiped out. It's from being around people. Absolutely nothing happens to me from being around people in the store (usually). I'm pretty much avoidant of people as a rule but stores don't bother me. We've been together 40 years now and are together all day every day esp. now that we are retired. Your videos are very calming.

I take all my medicine in the evening (2 Luvox 100mg, 1 Abilify 15mg, and 1 Lunesta 3mg) except foe the vitamin D supplement which I take in the mornings. What are the meds you take in the evening?

    Hi Kimberly, have you ever tried healing through meditations? Dr Joe Dispenza has amazing content to share, he has written books on it. Very scientific stuff. Changing our thoughts, emotions and behaviour changes our reality. Disease lives in an old personality. Thus we take a journey to change it ✨
    Additionally, Emotion Code might help removing emotional load from the body.
    Donna's Eden energy ecercises are also very beneficial for our well being ✨
    Thought to share this info with you. Healing IS possible.
    Have a blessed day/evening ✨✨✨
