A QUITE DAY AT HOME ❤️ TAKING TIME TO RELAX

[@MJYouAreNotAlone1]

I agreed totally with you about the puppy mills and about our pets being a commitment. I love animals more than I love people.🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 I agree with you about just donating things when you’re ready to get rid of them. That’s what I do every time. I fill up my car and take it to a donation center to get it out of the house now! I never sell anything. God bless you.❤️🙏

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

Animals are so much easier to love

Hi Ellen. My plans today were to walk @ the Y, go to Mass & get pizza take-out. Well, it snowed til 4 pm & I don't drive in the snow, so I didn't go out @ all. That hardly ever happens but it was cozy. My hubby & son shoveled us out so tomorrow I will try my plans again! To discard good stuff, I put it out front with a "free" sign. People take things :) I love your pottery idea. ❤ 🤎

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

I got rid of some of my exercise equipment by putting it to the curb. It was gone in no time. I don't like to drive in the snow anymore either.

[@PamMorris-w1y]

Good evening Ellen, today was a quiet, stay at home day. I spent time with my Figaro kitty, and I did one load of laundry. Nice, easy day. It snowed again yesterday, and it is cold, so Inside looking Outside was the way to go today!😊 I love animals, and all of our dogs that my hubby and I had were either from animal shelters or from Foster "moms". My kitty Figgy came from a wonderful "foster mom." I enjoyed and loved all of them!❤ Take care, Ellen! God Bless you.

@@PamMorris-w1y so many homeless animals need homes. It's a sad state of affairs

[@PamMorris-w1y]

@@EllensAbundantLifeonLess Oh definitely. So many animals in need of loving forever homes. A very sad situation. 💔

[@Nanatracie]

Going to be a pj day for me today too, got new tv set up yesterday, grandson slept over last night, I'm currently sipping coffee number 1 of the day in bed while 7 year old Freddie still lying next to me asleep, can't beat snuggles in nanas bed, have a great day Ellen and rest because you have been so busy and you deserve it ❤

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

I'll bet Freddie really enjoyed his snuggles

[@Nanatracie]

@EllensAbundantLifeonLess oh yeah he does, he is a very loving little boy ❤️

[@RamonaStrait]

Love to see you looking relaxed and rested!

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

That basement was a big burden on my mind

[@joywise2595]

I can see the relief on your face!

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

Thank God 🙏

[@patriciaellingsworth7075]

My sweet cat is 14 years old now and diabetic. He gets his insulin, vet checkups and prescription cat food. I do my best to give him a good life. He’s my companion and I love him. Congratulations on your basement. It looks like you had what they needed for them to get lots accomplished. When you work on your part just remember to take it easy, it didn’t get that way overnight and you have the luxury of time.

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

My schnoodle was diabetic for 4 years before she passed away. I did my best for her. She lived to be 14

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

Animals are very much like people. Some stay healthy their whole lives and some aren't as lucky and succumb to illness.

[@kathyjones5056]

I’m so glad you are having a relaxed day, you deserve it! Your basement is coming together, looking great. I know that you’re so happy with that! Now, rest my friend. ❤️🙏

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

Very happy 😁

[@mariela6809]

Hi Ellen, I totally agree with you about animals, I'm vegetarian for the same reasons. I hope that humanity awakes in consciousness soon. Blessings 💜

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

It's such a horrible process 😞

[@allisonspeer649]

Started the day shoveling more snow, about 4-5 more inches. I'm so tired of snow. LOL. The rest of the day was a PJ day for me as well. I worked some on taxes (eating that elephant one bite at a time) and made a pot of ham and bean soup. Did walk a mile on the walking pad this evening. I'm kind of in hibernation mode right now.

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

@@allisonspeer649 it's hard to get motivated when it's cold outside. A nice warm soup sounds good

[@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts]

You deserve a rest day after the day you had yesterday❤ it snowed today in Massachusetts only 2 inches which is strange. We have not had any snow and usually by now we are inundated with snow🙏 but I cleaned off my car, and I took the boy for a short walk, came in and cleaned and then I did a 4 mile walk video by Leslie Sansone. She is a Christian woman who does 3, 4, 5, walk videos. They are really easy steps and they’re a great pace. Have a blessed night, my friend. It is Saturday night here in Massachusetts and I am cuddled in bed with Otis. God bless you.🙏 I am loving her book answered prayers. I read it along with my devotionals every morning.

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

@@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts I miss going for walks but I don't enjoy walking in the cold. I enjoyed my day of relaxation 😊

[@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts]

@@EllensAbundantLifeonLess as well as you should♥️

[@ceciliaperales8466]

Yes , you deserve a day off. So relax , and take a nap. 😴

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

Yes a nice nap was in order

[@kerryjames6312]

Quiet days are lovely

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

@@kerryjames6312 they certainly are great ❤️

[@terri4353]

Pajama day for me too except when I took my dog, Ellie for a walk. We actually have a frost warning in Phoenix tonight so I had to cover all my frost sensitive plants. It’s still sunny and warm during the day. Nothing makes me more sad and angry than abuse of animals, elderly, and children. Any vulnerable groups on the planet. I can’t take it. Glad you had a restful day today. You deserve it after such a productive day yesterday. Slow and steady is my pace. : ) ❤

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

Winter is not playing nice this year

[@donnathompson4067]

Yes. Its been my pajama day as well. I have not done much anything today just mainly tidy up. I did cook a pot of pinto beans so that's my supper with some cornbread. There's snow everywhere from state to state and cold temperatures so It's definately a day to be inside and stay warm.

[@Mrs.PaulaDoesRetirement]

We love beans and cornbread!

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

@@donnathompson4067 beans and cornbread is a nice hearty meal 😊👍

Me too!

You saved a lot of Money-last year❤

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

I did but the home repairs were outrageous 😔 I'm hoping this will be a better year for all of us.

Maybe tomorrow too 😊👍

[@dianabythebeach]

Good windy, smokey Sunday morning. Oops..no longer morning. Puppy mills are heart breaking. I see the puppy mill raids on the news and all the dogs are rescued, treated by vets and cared for until ready for adoption. The nursing mamas care for their puppies until they are weaned and are often adopted with one of their puppies. Mamas without new litters are loved back to good health and adopted....live the followup videos showing those pups in a happy environment. Probably their first! 🐕 I hope you enjoy a couple of days off to relax & regroup. I did not get much done this week...two doctor checkup appts and food shopping. The rest of my time I am glued to the fires, checking on friends, An assisted living near me took in 82 residents from one that burned down so I am going to put some things together from their 'needs' list. Hard to believe they would have 82 empty beds. Usually there is a wait list so I have some concerns on the 'why' re bed availability. Doing my due diligence research 😏

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

I hope those fires are contained soon. The damage is devastating 😞 I'm glad you're safe 🙏❤️

[@wendykornfein3337]

I go by, out of sight out of mind, as why I clean up messes when it happens.

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

That's the best way to stay on top of things

[@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts]

I just heard the part about the animal rescues and Covid. I live in a townhouse community. I own my own townhouse during Covid there were at least10 new dogs around😮 now, I probably see just 2of them left from the Covid days 😮if I could not afford Otis I would never have gotten him. And I did not get him until I retired. He will be 8 on January 17th. They are not throwaway pets.😡

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

@@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts I couldn't agree more.

[@coppertone711]

I have never known any Amish. People in this country far outspend any other country on animals and pets. I know life is not perfect but reality shows billions of dollars spent in pet and animal care. Just the pet sitting industry is billions of dollars. Vet care is billions not to mention food and every kind of animal in this country could have a treat.

[@EllensAbundantLifeonLess]

Yes having animals can be very expensive but I think they are so worth it. Vet bills, like Dr Bill's are out of control super expensive!
