ChatGPT the Wise One

I was literally tossing and turning at 2 a.m. No matter what I did there was no way I was going back to sleep, so I got out of bed and sat in my recliner in the front room. I didn’t want to wake my husband and absolutely didn’t want the dog to think it was time to get up. So, I sat and sat and just stared at the lights in the kitchen for an embarrassing amount of time. What do you do when you can’t sleep? Chat with the A.I. buddy! I opened ChatGPT and typed “I don’t know who I am, or how to active I feel lost”. Why did I type that into a little chat box of my new A.I. friend? I had to say it somehow; it was burning me. So, instead of posting to anywhere else – ChatGPT was easy enough! What I didn’t expect was its response. ChatGPT response to my odd statement at 2 a.m.: I knew this little handy tool was great for helping with Genealogy, my sewing questions, my Excel formula issues, to name a few – but what?! If you think A.I. isn’t coming for jobs, you’re horribly mistaken! I worked through that a bit and decided to start my blog up again. Here we are. Thanks little buddy!

I’m Not Invisible… And Neither Are You

I used to know who I was. 100% knowledge of who I was, how I was perceived—you know, the whole shabang. But over time, I started feeling invisible… Somewhere along the way—between responsibilities, expectations, and the everyday chaos of life—I started feeling… invisible. Not in a dramatic way, not all at once. Just a slow fading, a quiet disappearing act. Maybe you’ve felt it too. Maybe you’ve looked in the mirror and wondered, Who am I anymore? Where did that person go? I don’t think this happens overnight. One day, you’re full of ideas, passions, and plans. The next, you’re just going through the motions, doing what needs to be done, but losing a little bit of yourself in the process. And maybe, just maybe, you’ve been searching for a way back to feeling like you again. That’s why I created this space—because I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. And neither are you. “I’m Not Invisible” isn’t just a blog. It’s a reminder that we are still someone—even when life tries to convince us otherwise. It’s a place to rediscover who we are, to find joy in small moments, to reclaim our voices, and to remind ourselves that we matter. So if you’ve ever felt lost or invisible, you’re in the right place. I don’t have all the answers, but I know this: We are not done yet. We are still someone. Stick around. Let’s figure this out together.

Happy 2018

I have 894 (this is 895) posts on this site. The majority of them are marked private. Eh, well, at least I can read my past. Slowly I will get some public again. Not now though. I’m attempting to start the Bullet Journaling. You can see the website with instructions, and reasoning behind it here: Bullet Journal. I have always kept a “journal” of sorts. Some in pretty little journals with only personal information, and others (majority) are large Mead Five Star Spiral Bound Notebooks. I keep that right one my desk for when I work. They include personal info but mostly work related. I have those dating back to 1990 or so. Because I’ve done it so long, journaling and task notations are not a new item for me. However, making it all pretty and fun – well, that’s new for sure. I’m not a creative person artistically. Definitely writing wise as I’ve done many short stories, and of course a blog with >890 posts over many years. But making cute little designs in journals? Yeah, no – not me. But I thought I could give it a shot. Why not? This year marks a few events: My hubby and I have been together for 5 years as of March 13, 2017 (should have been 36 years, but that’s for another story) Our wedding anniversary will mark 2 years married (yay!) We’ve lived in our little home in the woods for 5 years this year My pup will be 10 this February 8th (oh my goodness!) My kids keep getting older! (not sure how that happens when I’m not aging… haha) Many Many events relating to family (birthdays, anniversaries) This year will be a good one. Each year has it’s ups and downs, but in the end – every year is well lived and loved. I wish you and yours a joyous 2018! ~Monica~

My granddaughter made her appearance! Wonderful timing as her daddy has been in Missouri for training, and he just got home the day she was born! Amazing! I’m so excited to be a gamma of 2 now. More later, I haven’t caught up on sleep. 6lb 14oz ~ 20.4″ and absolute perfection. The Princess has arrived!

First Off-Roading Experience

I had a BLAST this past Saturday. I took my Jeep out with a group from the Bay Area and we went to Hollister Hills. I got to do the obstacle course, and found that my poor Jeep is a smidge short – I dented my skid plate. Ha! Oh well, that’s what it’s there for. I got to take it out on trails too! However, it’s painfully obvious my little Monster Jeep needs a TON of stuff…. really. Ha! I blame the other rigs out there that make me jealous. Yup! I will just blame them…. but I definitely need a lift, bigger tires, my lockers fixed (hello?!) and the sway bar detachable thing. Wow am I technical! YES! I finally got to go out where I could play. I’m so thankful! I got direction from someone who luckily knows what he’s doing – or who knows what would happen. Got a bit freaked out, but kept pushing until later that day. Then the flippin’ exit road was closed as we were leaving, and I had to go over something that freaked me out again. I can’t wait until I get used to this! But the feeling of adrenaline and butterflies in the tummy are an AWESOME feeling. Some pics:
