"You got through all your hardest days so far. You're going to get through the hard days ahead. But also, don't anticipate that they're going to be hard. Like you can have reality about your situation without having dread." That completely resonates with me right now! I feel like I really needed to hear that at this moment. Thank you.
It's going to get better.
I just LOVE your monthly updates. I laugh and cry with you every time. You are an amazing woman, mom and wife!
I had major surgery last year and one of the things I continually reminded myself was something you mentioned in an older video, the line from Kimmy Schmidt of "I can do anything for five seconds". Every time I had to work on recovery or had a hard day I kept reminding myself of this and it really helped me stay focused on now and not spiral into the unknown. Sending prayers for a smooth and fast recovery!
I tell my husband all the time: "Try to turn your anxiety into excitement". They are both really powerful emotions, but one is negative and one is positive. I think its easier to have dread/anxiety about upcoming situations; But its more healthy to view it in the positive and experience excitement about your situation. You said you keep telling your daughter about how exciting school is going to be etc, convince yourself of the same. Dont dwell and dread the time commitment, but rather be excited for your daughter, the time/break you will have to do other things while she is in "school" and how it will positively impact your family as a whole. The rest will "work itself out". And, again, dont forget how helpful it can be to pay for someone to take your kiddo to "school" daily for you. It can be one of those 3 "take it off the plate/delegate" things. Its money well spent if the time commitment really is making you lose sleep. Good luck, my friend!
“Sometimes I’m a word salad and you have to dig for croutons “ lol, I love that!!! You are awesome! You have a lot on your plate, I will pray for you and for your surgery and recovery to go well. God bless!
Thank you
Prayers for you and your family in the next couple months! 🙏🏻
Thank you. I appreciate it.
I have ND daughter too. Transitions are tricky in our house. Good luck with everything and sending you some positive prayers. Be kind to yourself xxxx
Thank you
I have two daughters on the spectrum; one will be a junior and the other a freshman. The junior REALLY struggles with transitions and though she has gotten better, life throws more types of transitions at her that she is having to learn.
Wish you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. Pack your book, None of this is true to keep you company. It’s such a fun, entertaining, and crazy experience. One of my favorites of this year.
Great to know!
I’m praying for your quick recovery from your upcoming surgery and I hope it solves the problems!
Thank you
We are a military family and a couple years ago had to move from Wisconsin to Virginia (6 month training) to Kansas all in one school year. I have 5 kids who at the time were ages 18 months-12 years. Before the year began I realized my focus was going to be on emotional wellbeing and simplicity for my family. The kids did math, spelling, grammar, and silent reading on their own. We read the Bible together and read through all 9 novels of Little House. I would read aloud 1-2 chapters a day we would discuss and choose 1 thing each day to learn more about. It could be science, social studies, life skills etc. as long as we chose something. We would watch youtube or documentaries to learn more. We also explored the history in Virginia. They did copywork (length depended on age) and journaling for writing. Some may disagree with this year but I don't regret it for a second. The older kids had to test and did well and we all kept our mental and emotional health that year with no community and no family close. I look back with such fond memories and that experience brought our family together. This past year and this current year the rigor has been more so all is well. I don't know if this means anything to you and your world because our lives are different except to say it's okay if some years look different than others. They all come together to create a beautiful education.
I could have written this! We are a military family too about to move to Virginia for a 6 month school with 5 kids ages 2-12 during that time. I am praying now how to stay on track and still accomplish everything.
@@jessicajackson1088 Aww, how neat! Deep breath....it ended up being a great time for us. If you homeschool, I would recommend you create a value based school year just like Lydia recommends a value based budget. For me, that meant way less seat work and way more local adventures, read alouds, and discussions/working through emotions. I hope it ends up being as positive for you as it was for us!
Prayers for your upcoming surgery 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Lydia I will be keeping you & your family in my prayers. I enjoy your channel so much. Thanks for sharing with all of us. God bless.
Appreciate you so very much, Lydia Senn! Thank you always for your updates and videos. ❤
Rooting for you and your family Lydia. Thank you for being vulnerable, brave and hopeful to God despite all the things that are happening right now. You are an inspiration to me and to many other women who are watching this on RUclips. May the peace of God be with you and your whole family in facing all these adversities, you got this! ❤❤❤
Thank you
Lydia, I'm praying for you. I look forward to your September Reset when you share with us that you all survived August and you're feeling great! God Bless you and your family!!
"I've been here before, I'll be here again, and I will always get through it". That's what I TRY to remember in times of stress and anxiety. Emphasis on the word try. I also get stressed out and think I need to everything right here and right now. When I don't meet that expectation of myself, I beat myself up. It's hard for me to prioritize and realize that some things can wait. Asking for help is difficult. I feel as though we as women are always helping other people, but when we need the help, it difficult to ask for it and accept it.
Thank you for sharing this video. I admit I cried... You're amazing.
Hello Lydia. What you said about not anticipating for days to be hard at the end of the video was spot on! Thank you
Thank you!
I'm behind but I hope surgery goes well/went well. Prayers for a speedy and smooth recovery ❤
Love every bit of this Lydia. Praying for a speedy recovery and everything going well.
I so feel you with the sadness you feel for your daughters situation. As I mentioned before my daughter has a rare genetic disorder and does not walk or speak . We are on break right now with her therapies but I understand . It’s ongoing but you also are happy they are getting the support they need. 😊
Lydia you will be in my prayers 🙏 ❤️ I just got over a bladder infection and it was the worst 😫 😢 I can't even imagine getting them reoccurring for two years.
Thinking of you this month and good luck with surgery!
Sending you many Blessings and well wishes throughout your surgery and recovery ❤ you’ll be just fine 🥰
Thinking of you Lydia I hope the surgery goes well and that Libby is enjoying her time in school xx
Congratulations on passing your certification!
Good luck to you and your family in August!
Heck yes it resonates. My mom just passed away (she was only 58) and I just had a baby. We're in the thick of it. But you just have to take it one day at a time ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. That is so much to handle at one time.
Praying for you and your family as you go through the next couple months. I can't imagine all the things you will be managing, but I know it will be okay. Hugs and remember to give yourself mountains of grace.
Thank you
I've dealt with a few different proctor companies for my college classes. And OMG I feel your pain! Thankfully one of the libraries went thru the hoops to become a proctor thru my college! It's sooooo much easier now!
Congrats on the certification! So happy for you, I know you've been working so hard.
Thank you so much!!
Aw Lydia I hope your surgery goes well! And sending up prayers for all your family challenges right now 🙏
Thank you so much.
Sending you prayers for an uneventful surgery and speedy healing!
Thought I'd mention that the pandas will come back. China is switching them out right now. They took out pandas from Washington zoo and then brought a couple new ones back. Same thing for I think it was the San Diego zoo, just saw two new pandas arrived. I haven't done a deep dive into this, but I assume it's to keep the gene pool as diversified as possible to ensure survival of the amazing creatures.
I ranted for a week straight to my husband after reading The House Across the Lake. UGH. Verity also had me in a tizzy.
Verity is one of the worst books I’ve ever read. Hated. It.
@@TheRealLydiaSenn IT WAS SO AWFUL. I also read it while holding/nursing my newborn so that had me overly emotional and upset! I refuse to read any other books by her. Just terrible.
Praying that your surgery and recovery go well! 🙏
I’m a speech language pathologist, and a recent training I went to shared that people in the autism community prefer the term non-speaking to the term nonverbal. Just wanted to pass that along, in a friendly manner of course. 😊
Thank you. That is good to know and thank you for sharing so kindly.
@@TheRealLydiaSenn💜💜💜
We do the same thing for audiobooks on vacation. Chester and Gus sounds amazing! We aren’t ready for August either. My son started marching band which is daily. I hope your surgery fixes everything and you are able to make it through. My back surgery had me at home with no driving for six months so I feel you. It is a weird feeling but I know you will make it through.
Are you feeling better now?
Lydia, I have always admired you during the many years I’ve Followed your life journeys
I have enjoyed hearing how your grit and perseverance gets you through so many challenges in life.
Sending you love and recovery ❤️
Lydia, you are amazing! Praying for your surgery and family at this time.
Sending love.. Get well soon
Prayers that your surgery goes/went well and corrects the bladder problem and for all the children as they begin school/therapy.
Thanks for sharing Lydia. You are reslient, resourceful and as ready as you can be 😊 Another certification under your belt ⭐ Well wishes for your surgery before during and after. I remember Fraggle Rock 😂
Fraggle Rock is so iconic.
I will keep you in my prayers ❤
Just here to say you look beautiful in this video. I think that blue shirt brings out your eyes. God bless girl.
You are my favorite word salad , love and prayers headed your way.
I appreciate that
Will be praying ❤. Your hair looks nice ❤
Thank you! 🤗 I couldn’t quit messing with it. I never leave it straight.
@@TheRealLydiaSenn lol,love it!
Prayers for a healing surgery and that all goes well. This year both of my children will be in PreK and one day out of the week we will have family and friends doing transport. I am terrified of something going wrong with that. My husband and I have always been the primary transportation for our kiddos so yeah I am anxious. Also, trying to reschedule therapies around school and a few new activities all while I still feel like I can’t really adult too. So yes giving grace to each other and myself during transitions and always ❤
Love your content.
Hello Lydia, I love the Kristen Hannah books through the Libby app. They are so good & well written.
I have enjoyed everything I've read by her.
Have you read Kristen Harmel? I think way better than K. Hannah. The book of lost names, The forest of vanishing stars all of hers are really good.
Thanks for sharing Lydia. I appreciate your raw honesty with all the crazy stuff that is going on in your life. It makes me feel that I can do so much better. I know that I can; because I see that you are doing it. That's not to say that I think you are a perfect superwoman. You are just a human who is just working hard day by day. Some of those days may not work out the way you wanted or goals may not have been met; but you pivot and you keep moving. That is where I think you are a superwoman. Wishing you well on your upcoming surgery and testing. Final word. I belong to a book club and we just got done with "A Gentleman in Moscow." It was such a great read and yes, there is a short series (which I have not seen); but I always prefer the book over a movie. Take care and God bless you.
Thank you so much.
Cool video. Unfortunately, my 4 year relationship ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me. I still love him so much and can't stop thinking about him. I've tried my very best to get him back in my life, but to no avail. avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of him, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss him and just can’t stop thinking about him
Just a heads up...some of the free library cards that you sign up for to use libby offer free access to rosetta stone.
What???! Amazing. Thank you.
@TheRealLydiaSenn You're welcome. Just look on the websites or through the emails. If I can figure out which one it is, I will let you know.
That Mobile testing center stresses me out so much. 😅
It was Bishop State. The gentleman running it was hyping everyone up.
I love the Lisa Jewell book
Our pandas in Adelaide are leaving, but it sounds like a new pair will be coming?
I’m going to pray that your surgery is a success and gives you relief darling / Sept we go to OHSU stem cell transplant will be October 11. I will be with him in Insullation for the first 3 weeks. Then they move us to the facility across from the hospital for 3 weeks .. he goes in every day for blood test etc during those 3 weeks. This time will be me feeling like you as well but I can’t really do anything. ❤❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♋️
Praying for you!!
Thank you
Hi, Lydia. What type of school/college are you attending? What will your certifications be in? I am at a crossroads in my career. I'm unemployed and overeducated. But I'm a lifelong learner. Take care. ❤
Awwww Girlfriend ❤ I adore you and how you share your life with us. I love how you say " it's going to be ok , it has to be, it all will work out " I pray your surgery really makes a positive difference in your life. I pray for the Lord to give you peace and strength and continued blessings for the family. As in the words of my Gramps " This too shall pass " ❤❤❤❤
