Happy 1st Day of Spring1
Good morning everyone...and yes its the day we have been waiting for..at 12:15 pm today its officially SPRING...YAY!
I have been up since 4:15am dealing with issues lol....
I had woke up ...made my coffee and went to the living room to turn on the television on...we have Direct TV service ..the screen had stated the server was down ..went to bedroom turn on another tv ...same thing...
our main Direct TV box...and DVR system that runs the whole show for the house connection is down in family room where the large screen is located...so thinking I will just go down and reset it all to get it up and working again...needless to say system wouldn't turn on
baffled I continued to investigate this issue and looked behind our system and our ceiling was damp...wall was damp ...power band water was dripping out of it when I picked it up...it was all unplug at that time because I did shut it down... our upstairs bathroom is directly above our downstairs set up...we have a leak somewhere...large screen system shot....DVR...shot..
it was definitely an intense morning for us....
hubby and I continue to move things from the area..thank God the area is a built in elevated angle typeof area to hold complete system in...could have damage our sound system..etc but it didn't.
So now today...already I have insurance men..service men...a plumbing contractors all coming to visit and assess this problem we have today...
Its going to be a long day....
Hubbys unable to handle the home part of it hes got them coming here though been on the phone since early this morning ... but he also has major business meetings today
The reason I'm sharing this with you is
Ive decided that I'm just going to pull from me my positive energy and still enjoy my day...yes... its devastating...yes... all system are down...I had other plans for today too that now needed to be canceled ... as I speak to people to get assistance and they are trying to sympathize with my morning.. I just laugh and say ...its going to be ok..we are healthy...we could be dealing with something larger like a flood as others have.. well... we are on a hill so we may be spared of that lol it was just a point...;)
I cant get on here and say its just a weight gain...in my journal and we need to be positive ..and then to say many others wish that is all they had was weight gain to deal with...
If I cant follow the same advise..Im given.. when something difficult is facing me.
Its my day and I'm going to do other things be positive when I have the adjusters....contractors...service men ..arriving to assist me today..going to laugh and be very positiv and project a positive energy towards everyone...
You have to go through things to truly appreciate them...
Right now I truly appreciate my coffee maker is brewing me hot cups of coffee and I still have Netflix to watch lol computers are up...internet is a different company Yay! and you I appreciate everyone here..
so happy first day of Spring my friends going to get busy with some more spring cleaning...and take care of this situation I'm dealing with today in a positive manner...
Sending my love and hugs on this wonderful first day of spring...hoping you can also have a positively wonderful 1st day of Spring too. xoxox;)

I’m SO sorry!! Water leaks are no fun. Your positive energy definitely radiates from you—you are always like a bright ray of sunshine! Those service men are lucky to be working for you today🙂 If I could bring you dinner I would and have it hot and delivered at 6:00pm so you wouldn’t have to worry about that at least. Big hugs my dear friend!

Aww, sweet sweet Mama Maxie, I am so sorry!! But I love your attitude about it! You are truly someone to look up to, you have such a wonderful, kind, gentle spirit. I truly am blessed to know you. I hope that your servicemen who are coming are kind to you. I know how stressful things like that can be! We have a tree that its roots will block our plumbing about 3 times a year and our landlord refuses to remove the tree, so we just have to keep calling the plumber out. It gets frustrating when all the drains are connected to the one pipe and its blocked. I pray for your patience and sanity. You are truly amazing, though!! They always say "Without the sadness, we would never know true happiness" and I feel like that goes well with most situations, without the troubles, we would never know true peace. God bless you, sweet lady!! Have a cup of coffee for me!! ((hugs))

Oh dear, I am so sorry you have to deal with all of that. We have been in the path of many hurricanes and I am forever grateful that I have never had to deal with flooding...and that my hubby was able to safely fly through them to rescue workers from rigs. We take what life gives us and turn it over to God who can handle our whining and woes then somehow turn our eyes to the positive side. God bless you with patience and endurance today....good thing you are a high energy person!

So sorry Maxie!! I know what it's like to deal with water damage. Washer overflowed years ago, destroyed our extra room downstairs. Ended up being a blessing later. We ended up with extra money from the insurance since we opted not to have a section of the upstairs hardwood floor replaced. Didn't do major damage to it and I said it just gives it character, lol. Anyway, hubby at the time (now deceased) was out of work and we were struggling. The extra money paid our house payment that month. Sometimes God uses something bad for our benefit. Love your attitude! Be joyful in all situations 😄

Of course God does...I rather go through something and learn a life lesson than to never go through things and not learn to appreciate what I have..but it will be fine my hubby deals with major disasters daily ours is just a crimp in our daily plans...I'm just enjoying my moments... waiting for the crew to arrive...someone always has a more difficult time to go through...love to you my dear friend and thank you ;)

Sorry Sweetie I totally dislike insurance companies found it easier not to deal with them, if you can. After Hurricane Charlie it took 5 years to the day to collect and that was after hiring a lawyer. They claimed no hurricane well smart asses how did my roof fly off lol Sending supportive prayers ❤️🙏❤️

That's ok my hubby is all about business...and a tough cookie at that ...he also works in the area of disaster and water damage...we will get it fixed with them or without them...hubby also flipped homes for a profit ...I don't care for them myself...but I'm not dealing with them he knows them... so he is...ha ha
