As a former EMT-B please think about this before you call for an ambulance.

1- Ambulance rides are expensive.

2- You won't be seen in the ER any quicker just because you made an ambulance bring you. If its not urgent you get to wait. End of story.

3- Urgent care while not real cheap is much cheaper then the ER bill you would get.

4. Don't tie up an ambulance for something not life threatening. You stubbed your toe....go to URGENT CARE. Someone could be having a heart attack, or been in an auto accident and actually need the ambulance. Stop using them for your taxi to a hospital. (See reasons above)

UC or ER?

Good Morning! “Your destiny lies in your thoughts. It is very simple as has been said: “What you think, you become.”  - Unknown

When I was feeling my worst mentally, I was very negative because nothing good would ever happen to me so why even try and be positive. At least that is what my brain had convinced me would happen. I'm here to tell you that your brain will LIE to you. It is so hard to break out of that cycle. I tend to think in what I call circular thoughts, when my brain is overthinking it thinks itself into circles. It becomes stuck in that thought pattern just like driving in circles on a race track over and over again with no place for a pit stop. Here is an example of the kinds of thoughts I would have; I'm worthless, the ways I'm worthless (Naming them off), the reasons no one can love me (naming these as well), and its all because I am worthless. Then the circle repeats. It took some therapy to make an exit to that cycle. I still sometimes struggle with it and I likely always will. But I made myself a promise that I will keep getting up and finding the exit again. I may be broken but I am not defeated. So I guess what I am trying to say is that yes what you think you become. If you think things suck then they do, but they do not have to. You just need to find the exit to that race track thought pattern. Maybe your exit is a therapist, maybe its a walk in nature, maybe its a good friend, or it could be anything that helps to change your mindset. My hope for each of you today is that you are able to find your exit to that race car track way of thinking and move to something more positive in your life. Have a fantastic day.

Good Morning! “Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational.”  -  Hugh Mackay

Perfection is over rated. I used to tell myself that if it wasn't perfect it wasn't worth doing. I was lying to myself. Progress not perfection is a much better way to look at it. Life is messy as hell. I grew up in a time when you were bombarded with fairy tale crap. Fairy tales are just that tales you tell when telling a story. Its not real. Life is nothing like that. Relationships (of all kinds; romantic, friends, coworkers) are complex. They take work on both parts to survive. You can try and plan for an outcome but nothing that happens is certain. Things change, people change and you just never know what will actually happen. People can be completely irrational usually when their emotions get involved. All we can do is to deal with the changes that come our way. We hang in there and do the best we can at handling the craziness that comes with life. So my wish for each of you today is that you find a healthy way to cope with life. Have an amazing day!

Good Morning! “We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.”  -  Mother Teresa

A smile can expresses delight, sociability, happiness, joy or amusement. For a lot of us a smile from a stranger can mean a lot especially when you are feeling alone and forgotten. We actually can convey a lot with a smile and body language. When someone is struggling mentally a smile can mean the world. It lightens your mental burden even if its just for a few moments. Believe it or not that helps tremendously when you are hurting inside. So keep that in mind when you go out into the world, that your smile can have an impact on others around you. So my wish for each of you today is that you are able to smile more as it not helps others but yourself as well. Have a great day!

Good Morning! “Fear came to my house years ago, I let him in, Maybe that's the problem 'cause I've been dealing with this ever since. I thought that he would leave, but it's obvious he never did. He must have picked the room and got comfortable and settled in. Now I'm in the position it's either sit here and let him win, Or put him back outside where he came from, but I never can. 'Cause in order to do that I'd have to open the doors. Is that me or the fear talking? I don't know anymore.” From the song “Mansion” by NF

Fear is an emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. Fear has its uses to get our bodies ready to fight, flight, or freeze. It is as old as humans have been around. The problem is when trauma and abuse come into the picture. Our brains change and we can become stuck in a pattern where we are always afraid. Then sometimes the fear morphs into anger because with anger we feel powerful, but fear makes us feel weak. So anger gets latched onto because feeling weak sucks. Anger then can become a problem. It also has its uses but not to just make us feel like we are not weak. When fear and anger are an issue with yourself it is possibly time to seek some help so you can learn how to deal with these emotions. So my wish for each of you today is that you are able to get the help if you need it and to remember no emotions is good or bad, they are just emotions and they will subside. Have a fantastic day.

I took a sick day today so that's why I'm late. Not feeling good but I guess on the bright side my throat isn't as sore as yesterday.

Good Morning! “The right time is any time that one is still so lucky as to have.”  -  Henry James

Don't sit around waiting for the “right” time. Don't say well when I get this done and that done I can do this. Don't sit around saying when I get a better job I can do this or that or whatever. The right time is now. You want to do something then get up and do it. You don't know how? Well start planning the steps to get you to the place you want to be. Talk to others, ask questions but the time is right now to start moving forward to what you want. You are alive so the time is right now. You bring something different to the table just by being you. Our experiences shape us into the person we are. Your time is not tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. Your time is now. Get up and do it. My wish for each of you today is that you do realize that now is the right time and you can achieve what you want in life. I hope you have an amazing day.

Growing up gay in small town USA.

Growing up in a small town in Northeast Kentucky was interesting at times, I suppose. Not very open minded I would say. I mean everyone was pretty much the same. Most adults married, raised kids, worked, played and hardly ever left the state. Some might get lucky to go on vacation some place, but I know some didn't. When it came to the kids pretty much everyone went to school, to church, played with friends, rode bikes, just normal kid stuff. Not anything out of the ordinary.

I mean I knew not one person who might be gay, bi, or anything else growing up. I knew I felt different from an early age. I had no clue what that difference was. I just knew deep down that I wasn't like my friends. I was not feminine in any way. I hated dresses, the color pink, playing with dolls, and etc. I would much rather be playing with hot wheels, GI Joes, playing a sport, just anything that was not being a “girl”. I hung out with the boys. I was called a tomboy by most and told one day you'll grow out of that. (Breaking News: I never did, LOL)

Don't get me wrong, at one point I did try and fit in with the straight crowd. I tried to like dresses and stuff that like but it always felt wrong. Like I was just hiding in sheep's clothing. I still hated it. It just was not me. So I quit trying and decided I would just dress however I wanted to and fuck everyone else if they didn't like it.

I still had no clue at this point that I was a lesbian. That came in college when I figured that out. I was in denial for so long. You see I grew up in a church where homosexuality is a sin. So I couldn't be that, could I? I mean I was baptized as a teen and never regretted that. So I couldn't ever be something that would condemn me to hell, right?

So to say I have struggled with my sexuality most of my life would be an understatement. I have wished to be “Straight”, I have prayed to be ”Straight”. But I got news for you all, I have never been “straight” and because of this, I have hated myself for a very long time. I didn't want to be different, I really did want to be like everyone else, like all the straight people I knew. I just wanted to be 'normal'.

I don't like being the weirdo, the lesbian, the freak and all the other names or labels I placed on myself. I wanted to feel like I fit in. I didn't want to go to hell. But again, I never had a desire to have and raise kids. To get married to a man, (Sorry but yuck!) To live that 'normal' life. But at the same time I hated myself for not wanting that.

I tried for so long to to act like none of this bothered me. I would be flippant and say if they don't like me, or they are judging me then fuck it and them. I don't need them. But deep down it hurt to think that someone might not like me because of one thing, that I am gay. I know I shouldn't care, especially if I don't know them and they don't know me but deep down I do/did. Every single one of us wants to be accepted and loved for who we are. It doesn't matter who we are. We all want to be loved, we want friends, we want to be accepted. We want to find our happy.

The older I get the more I realize that I don't care as much as I did when I was younger. If I don't know you and you are automatically going to hate me because of one part of my existence well, there is the door, see your way out because I don't care. If we were friends at one point but you don't like the fact that I'm gay, well again, there is the door, see your way out and keep your judgmental thoughts to yourself. If we were close friends once and you don't like me because of who I am, then I will mourn our past friendship but again, there's the door, I think you know what to do.

Now, to the IDIOTS who think that all LGBTQ+ want to turn your kids gay or trans or whatever.... I've got a big NEWS FLASH! We don't want to turn them gay or whatever. We want them to live to be the people they are meant to be. It doesn't matter that they are gay or straight or whatever. We want them to live. If they are LGBTQ+, they need to know they are not alone. Growing up where I did I thought I was the only one who felt the way I did. Again, I called myself a freak, a weirdo and any other derogatory name you can probably imagine. Let's face it, I was “Groomed” to be straight, but I never was. I am me, with all the good and bad that I have. So please stop acting like we want the whole world to be gay. I'd say most of us just want to live our lives, just like you do.

I could go on and on but I won't. My main purpose here was to give you my experience. I wasn't supposed to be a lesbian but I am. I have come to terms with it and I have decided that God doesn't make mistakes and I am not a mistake. Nor will anyone make me feel like that any longer. I will just continue to try and be a good person to others because I still believe in the golden rule. “Treat others the way you want to be treated.”

EDIT: I just wrote this because I didn't make Pride this year because I think I am getting sick and didn't want to expose others. But I still wanted to contribute in some small way to Pride. I hope all of my LBGTQ+ community have had a wonderful Pride.

Good Morning! “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.”  -  Henry Ford

I love learning new things. My grandmother was the same way. She loved crosswords, game shows, good books anything to keep her mind active. If I am interested in the subject then I want to learn about it. It seems when we stop learning, when we just do the day to day drudgery of life, that is when we get old. We need things that get us excited and keep our minds moving. Our bodies will eventually get old but that doesn't mean we have to grow old. So my wish for each of you today is that you can find things that you enjoy learning about to keep yourself young at heart. I hope you all have a blessed day.

Good Morning! “Imagination is the eye of the soul.”  -  Joseph Joubert

I love imagination. It is the ability of the mind to be creative and resourceful. One of the first times I recall using my imagination was when I was very small, before kindergarten age. My grandmother would tell me stories at bedtime and a lot of times she just made them up on the spot. One day when I was trying to go to sleep she told me, “You tell me a story for a change.” That is when I made up my own story and told her to her. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep telling it but I loved those times with her. So for me my imagination is a great thing. In the last few years at times I will start writing my own stories on my laptop. Well I tend to write fanfics because there are certain characters that I adore. I haven't finished any of them yet but when I get a need to be creative I write. These morning messages also allow me to get a little creative even if some of the subjects are more serious. I guess what I am trying to say is that there are times to let your imagination run wild. If I am some place and kinda of bored I'll start telling a story in my head to occupy my mind. It is fun to see what your mind can imagine. So my wish for each of you today is that you get creative and let your imagination run free just to see where it will take you. I hope your day is filled with joy.

Good Morning! “The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.”  -  Barbara Sher

I believe that if you want something, truly want it, then you will work towards that goal and the “luck” will come to you. The word luck means success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions. I don't know that luck really plays a part in what happens but things will happen but with hard work, doors will open and lead you to places you haven't quite imagined. If you have a goal or a dream, figure out what needs to happen to achieve it, then write down your goal(s), and put them on the fridge or some other place you can see every day. Anything you truly want is going to take you working in some way to achieve it. It won't be easy but anything that is worth it never is. So my wish for each of you today is that you are working towards what ever your goal or dream is and that “luck” comes to you. Have a lucky day!

Good Morning! “No one who achieves success does so without acknowledging the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude.”  -  Alfred North Whitehead

Gratitude the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. Being grateful is something that can help your mental health. If you are having a hard time then try keeping a gratitude journal. Writing down who and what you are grateful for can help reduce your stress, improve your self esteem and improve your happiness. If you are writing it down then be detailed as you can on why you are grateful. This is a great way to realize you do have good things in your life and your life isn't all bad. So my wish for each of you today is that you can see the things you should be grateful for and acknowledge them. Have a great day everyone.
