-There is a God in Heaven, because, in the morning after himself was so angry over nothing--I took the 2 boys (as in dogs)-- and was walking up and down the driveway-trying to calm down---and--- a white truck pulled up to our gate-I thought it was one of our grown kids--so I walked towards the gate--and low and behold, a man climbed out who had fixed our gate once long ago--He said , "I saw yu out here and stopped to see how things are going."- Can yu believe that?--- immediately I started to cry--- ---so--He listened to my troubles and gave me a hug--and yu know, I did feel better----- AND--- there is more-- Yesterday I had promised our youngest Granddaughter to go to her luncheon-- I really did not want to go---I did however--and it was the best thing ever!-- The whole gym was full of families --parents, Grandparents--and they served the nicest lunch--for every child in the school--and for everyone in that gym--- It felt good to talk to other parents---
So, it seems that when you are in the depths of despair--- some things do happen-- things that you never expect to happen---- I have more pictures of leaves which I took from the car window yesterday on my way home from the luncheon-
With this rain falling today these leaves are all going to fall ---
This is "HAIR DAY""-- and--I hear we might get a few snow flurries this evening-Yikes! It's coming--
Beautiful pictures! It is strange how something unexpected happens when we least expect it but need it. A hug, phone call or visit can bring a smile and take away the tears. I have been struggling since my partner passed two months ago and have found when I am feeling really sad something happens to make me realize I can be happy.
ReplyDeleteIt is strange isn't it?--- Makes one wonder if someone watches over us----- Happy got hear from yu--Lynda
DeleteI love all your blogs Linda. I can so relate to them. Love, Dorothy
ReplyDeleteThe is so nice that u can relate--mkes it so worthwhile-Lynda
DeleteFantastic pictures.
ReplyDeleteAngels show up when we need them. Yes Lynda, you are being watched over and helped.
I'm glad you went to granddaughters luncheon. Sounds very nice. You need a distraction and a diversion. So happy you went and enjoyed.
And hair day is another chance to pamper you.
Thanksgiving dinner with the family will be another distraction.
And. You can always play your piano.
Enjoy TODAY.
Hugs dear Lynda
Doing ok here. Maintaining!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, a double dose of nice for you yesterday, from your visitor who’d fixed your gate last year to the luncheon for your youngest granddaughter.
The Fall colors are spectacular! Looking lots like that here now, too. BUT SNOWFLAKES ALREADY?? NOOOoooooo. Hope that doesn’t happen!
Enjoy your hair pampering! You deserve it.

I am so happy you found an old friend to listen to your woes. We need that, and you have it here, too. AND that luncheon sounds fantastic! The world will be in the hands of those children. They will be advised by their parents and grandparents.
ReplyDeleteHope the hair days goes as planned. You need that time away from Himself. When you return home, hopefully he will be glad to see you.
Our gas went up 16 cents! And I need to get some.
Thought today of taking photos of leaves, but haven't yet. Don't know how to share photos, etc. with you here. Copy and paste doesn't work.
Re the dancing: You know it is said, "If you don't use it, you lose it." {{{HUGS}}}
Isn't it just wonderful when something happens like the gentleman seeing you outside and stopping to ask how you are. And I'm glad you went to your granddaughter's luncheon. There are a lot of times when I just really don't want to go somewhere but once I'm out of the house I always feel better. Today my husband and I were going to drive to Duluth (about 200 miles) to see the colors - I just wasn't up for it. So we went to Roseville (aout 30 miles) to shop at a store where we had $80 of gift cards from last Christmas. We had a wonderful time and came home with some real treasures! Life happens the way it's suppose to I guess!
ReplyDeleteLovely pics. Here in Central Ohio, leaves are just starting to turn. Our peak isn't until 2 or 3 weeks from now, I read.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for your friend stopping and listening! That helps so much! Hope your hair appt went well!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had someone stop to listen,,that is a lot of my problem, I have no one to talk to.......David will be going in hospital tomorrow for at least 3 days for tests to find out why his breathing is so labored and why he cannot eat without gagging.
ReplyDeletePrayers for you Lynda, that Himself will have a few good days to let you do everything needed with no issues.
Oh Darlene--Poor yu--- It is so hard to not have someone to talk to----sorta like her--I xo talk to the dogs--but--they dot respond--Goo bad we don't live close eh?--Lynda
DeleteAwesome Fall pictures! So thankful for kind people. Have a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you had that visit and the luncheon, too. Sometimes we don't even know how stressed we are until a small kindness reminds us how good people are! Hugs! And beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour fall follage is beautiful. So sorry that you had such a sad day yesterday. Kept your head up and stay strong! Hope you have a better tomorrow!
