Personalized Ankle Bracket


Heather Shay

Although many of you know me as Heather  I go by my new middle name SHAY because the name came to me in the 1980's and I'd never heard of anyone called Shay but it wouldn't let go. A two spirit on this site told me it has Irish origins and it is strange or coincidence that Heather was the name of a girl I took out early in my life who had a boyfriend so didn't want to go out after that but I always loved that name to - another Irish name and I'm not Irish that I know about = maybe I need to do the DNA thing.

 

Anyway although my toes need new polish this is the first jewelry with my real name on it.

Love the anklet!

 

I've tried making myself a simple anklet in "friendship bracelet" style, but after many hours, I wound up with a couple incomplete false starts and another item on my todo wishlist ;) But since then, I did pick up a much better thread for it, in colors I like more, so gonna try again. Still going to take awhile, as I have super-wide ankles!

 

I love the name Heather, for many reasons. I even considered it as my female name (hence my screenname here). Never knew it was Irish, either! That just makes me like it all the more :) (I have some Irish blood through one of my grandfathers. I like to assume that's why I love the accent and find the whole "celtic lass" look a true thing of beauty.)

Interestingly her first name begins with "H" and is thought of as a traditional Irish name.  I think my sister and BIL liked it as it sounded nice, particularly with their last name.  She is married now and has a distinct Polish surname now.

I decdied to look it up - 

Origin of Shay

Shay is an English form of the Irish name Séaghdha and a variant of the Hebrew name Shai (unisex).

Meaning of Shay

Shay means “admirable”, “hawk-like” and “gift”.

 

AND HEATHER.....

Who is she?

 

Seemingly unemotional, Heather   is calm and reserved, haughty and detached. Most certainly, she is sober and very deep, but also shy, honest, and of impeccable morality. Patient, secure, disciplined, determined and level-headed, Heather   is nonetheless apprehensive and uncertain. She tends to have low self-esteem and can be quite introverted. She isn´t afraid of solitude and prefers to maintain one or two close friendships than several less authentic relationships. Far from being dissipated or superficial, she is only really interested by that which is profound and genuine. If you count yourself among her friends this is because she considers you worthy of her time. Not particularly spontaneous or demonstrative, she can be over-sensitive and emotional although she conceals this part of her nature behind a thick layer of ice. Her incredible self-control could easily be mistaken for indifference, and she often has the impression that she is misunderstood. She is proud and doesn´t like to show her vulnerability, which she perceives as a sign of weakness. Likewise, she would rather try and manage for herself than consider asking others for help. Practical and rational, Heather   relies on reason and logic. From time to time she can be given to flights of fancy, but it usually isn´t very long before she comes back down to earth. Hard working and conscientious, she is thrifty, organized and a perfectionist. As a child, she is far too well-behaved and responsible for her age, sometimes forgetting her own needs and desires in an effort to please her parents or at least avoid disappointing them. She already has a strong sense of duty and is scrupulous in all that she undertakes: to use authority and force with her is strictly unnecessary and even counter-productive. Indeed if her parents do not understand this then she could risk growing up to become a woman with more than her fair share of inhibitions. Heather   has a great need for privacy. Give her a large metal box with a key, and as she grows older, she will probably want a diary with an infallible lock. If she happens to be the eldest, make sure that the younger children know not to touch her things or go into her bedroom, this is a sacred place, and her books and other personal belongings are her treasure.

 

What does she like?
Close to nature, Heather   likes simplicity and can´t stand insincerity, deceit or pretence. Above all she seeks security, and it really doesn´t matter if the routine sets in or if her existence becomes monotonous. She would be happiest living in the countryside, far away from the noise and the bustling crowds where she could enjoy life´s simple pleasures. She delights in the the company of animals and loves spending time in her garden, strolling in the sun or contemplating a rosebud... Romance isn´t always easy for this self-contained and reserved young lady: spontaneity isn´t really her strong point, and neither is exuberant self-expression. She is dependable, secure and incredibly loyal and will choose her partner according to his moral fibre and his values. Heather   is a woman with principles.

OMG, where did you find that info on "Heather"??? Everything there sounds just like me, too! I'm sorry, I'm terribly afraid of sounding like I'm thread-hijacking, but it's almost eerie how familiar that description is...

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍
