Good day --- It's a new day-- NO SNOW FALLING-- NO RAIN either---so, ---- It really is a good day---to make it a wonderful day--The back road is ploughed and the enormous chunks of ice and snow are pushed to the side--so, Lopez, the Chihuahua, and I did our walk , and he did his business-- it is close to zero outside--a much better temperature than yesterday-
Yesterday I felt everything went wrong-- It was minus 18C-- (THAT IS COLD!)- Lopez would not go out--whimpered and sat down when he felt the wind--so, we had to drag out those white pads which is a "hit and miss" ordeal--There seems to be a great many "misses!"
Another problem yesterday, was--Himself would not wear his hearing aids (which he never does- anyway)_--but without those things in his ears, he cannot even hear himself talk--so his speech is slurred-- I made a deal with him last evening-- He must wear those hearing aids for at least 2 hrs a day-- everyday-- Maybe then his speech will improve----We shall see---
To-day he has those hearing aids in-- He listened to me--- Lord love a Duck!-- It has made the day a lot better--not as much yelling at him--and really, all I had to do was -tell him---"Let's put those Hearing Aids" in--
I believe it is a good day--because my attitude is better-- sometimes I just have to decide to be positive-- have faith that "stuff" will work to--"Attitude" is a choice--
It's Kathy - yes, our attitude certainly does make the difference and lately I feel like the little girl in the last meme. I'm glad himself put his hearing aids in today, I'm sure it makes both your lives better. I can't imagine spending a day unable to hear things clearly!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy--I do agree-- some days are like the girl in the picture-Lynda
DeleteGood morning! Yes, I have decided to choose joy. I have left toxic people and hang out with my people. Some days it is so tough, but at my age it was time to bring in the joy.
ReplyDeleteI try everyday to start and end the day with gratitude. I sleep better when I do that! But, yikes, some days I have to dig down deep!
Have a wonderful, joyful day!
Jacquie
Jacquie--- Some days I have to dig deep also--- but--at least we try- lynda
DeleteWell Kimberley--Yu made my day-- -- there are days I wonder if I am too honest- hard to admit that I try so hard to be "up"--but--there are times--LOL--Hugs, Lynda
ReplyDeleteWe really do have a lot of choices and they all relate to how we feel and how we make others feel. Love the choice poster. It is so nice to not see any snow today. A friend here in Kitchener sent me an e-mail this week and said she saw a robin in her back yard. I hope it means spring is on the way, if not I feel sorry for the poor robin. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteOMG--- YU made my day--a Robin--???? --- Maybe Spring is on the way-- LOL--HUgs Lynda
DeleteWell glad today is a better day for you. AND HOPE Himself will adhere to the deal of wearing the hearing aides for 2 hrs. a day. I know for me, I’d be totally lost in space w/o my hearing aides. And for sure, it affects the understandability of my speech.
ReplyDelete((((HUGS)))) Sometimes a good primal scream is just what is needed!
HUGS to you and hope it continues to be a better day.

Yes for sure--a good primal scream------It would help--LOLOL-- YU made me laugh out loud!-- YU are pretty special to wear your ears--I'll tell Himself-- Lynda
DeleteEvery day is a new day! I thank God every morning for giving me another day! Some days are harder than others for all of us! But being grateful for all the blessings I have in my life helps me make it through those tougher days. And I also struggle with wearing my hearing aids! Since I live alone, I don't remember to put them in like I should as the Dr. told me that the brain cognition deteriorates when you aren't using them as the brain struggles to understand.....so I just now went and put in my aids even though half the day is over!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am encouraging Himself to wear them a part of every day-- It seemed to help him to-day--- He took them out at noon-- It was a good day with him tho-- Hugs Sandra--We are all doing this--living everyday--and we really ares fortunate to live where we do--not in Turkey--- or Ukraine-- Hugs to yu--Lynda
DeleteLopez obviously had a better day today too! I just love it when there is no snow or rain, It even makes the cold a little more bearable. Good that himself is wearing his hearing aids some. Maybe you can play the piano later. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteI shall sit and play the piano--It seems to lull Lopez to sleep-- I believe he has a bit of Tess in him. Remember how she would come and lay down right beside the piano?--Hugs, Lynda-
DeleteLynda, I have felt that I am losing my mind, too. Maybe we all do at our age. It always turns out okay for me. I know who I am, who everyone else is, I often remember what I want to remember, what I want to do that day, etc.
ReplyDeleteIt's in the 37sF here. Things are melting. Under the melting stuff in our lot, though, it is still very slippery. I do feel sorry for pets and all the little critters that need to put their bottoms in it to relieve themselves.
I wear my hearing aids whenever I leave the apartment to visit, shop, etc. With just me and Lucky, I don't bother. Just turn the radio up.
Sometimes it is hard to focus on the positive stuff, but we gotta keep trying. Most of the time we can do it. You may have had a day yesterday like I have had...so much goes wrong, so many little irritations...that you don't remember to try to find something positive.
Keep smiling, hon...spring is coming fast! {{{HUGS}}}
Whatta lovely message--and, yes, there are crazy days--bad news reports--but--we all are survivors-- and it sounds like you are too! --- We must be positive!-- Love yu girl-Lynda-
DeleteSometimes....only a primal scream will do. And thats ok as without his aids..himself won't hear you. My himself does wear his aids but I'm noticing mental deterioration and I believe its related to severe hearing loss.
ReplyDeleteStay strong, try to stay positive. An attitude of gratitude goes a long way. Its not always easy to be positive but it sure makes my day better.
Please play your piano. We all enjoy that. You reminded me of how relaxed Tess was at your concerts. Play away.
Hugs
Good evening Margene-- Yes--I play the piano for the dogs-- My life has sorta gone to the dogs I guess--LOL--HUgs to yu-Lynda
DeletePlaying catch-up with my reading. One good day at a time, eh? Glad Lopez had a better day after the not so great one. And VERY glad Himself put the hearing helpers in!
ReplyDeleteHugs Lynda....Davids' funeral is tomorrow......all the kids finally made in.
