You know, it seems when one has to struggle thru a bad day--has to be strong--not allow it to get you down too much--that there is a GOD in Heaven, who watches over us, and--- after the struggle, you realize that you really are stronger than yu knew---and life returns to "somewhat" normal----like--TO-DAY ---100% better---
I hear you all breathing a sigh of relief, thinking, "Thank Goodness that I do not have to read more about how that poor woman is doing!"
Well, one of the above Ladies, is me---celebrating last evening that I made it thru one of those terrible, awful, wild and wooly days--AGAIN! --Lord love a Duck eh?---and praise the good Lord for all of you to listen to me spouting off about poor Himself--
Well, I really am not going to do the above---but--there are days that it might just help us all "older" persons , relax--LOL
We were invited to Son#1's house for a wonderful "steak and potato" dinner--last evening--Son#1 met us at the car and walked Himself in--I made it thru another day in the Adventures of living with a 95 yr old man! --
---Below is a picture of what appeared when I looked in the mirror--this morning- I saw a crazy old Lady--- AND IT WAS ME! --LOLOL---
So----We have sunshine--- It is going up to 35 Celcius to-day---(hot! hot! hot!)_-- I need to trim some bushes down near the lake this morning--Grandson Ethan will be out to cut the grass after school---and---hopefully, it is going to be the best day ever--because I have decided it just will be!
-justa tip here--- "Feng Shui" tip, when we need some vital ch'i energy-Let me know if it works--I think I will try it on Himself-- (Well, ya never know!)--
Yes, we do need a mirror that reflects our soul, for that really is what never grows old!
The older I get, the more I "get" my mom, and the things she would say. Grateful you and I both made it through another day! Hang on for the next one, then the next one... and may God treat you gently, one day at a time.
ReplyDeleteOh Barb--Yu are the more I understand my Mom too--so right--- one day at a time for sure!--Lynda
DeleteLoved the inserts today.
ReplyDeleteI agree as the older I get the more I hear moms expressions in my head. Mom was a strong woman with a beautiful sole.
Happy to hear you made it through the rough day and are back to being positive. I'm glad you feel safe with all of us to share your struggles. You are not alone as many of us are going through the same things. At 95 DH is doing his best and I shall be most grateful for his good days and for your strength. So pleased #1 son had you over and gave you a needed break. Hang in. Dont overdue the bush trimming in the heat.
Find time to play your piano to feed your beautiful soul.
Hugs
Margene-- The piano is so good for the soul---- and good thing Himself is a new man to-day--forcing him to sleep alone helped--Lynda
DeleteYour blog pictures put a big smile on my face! Many of your inserts reflect my feelings about growing older! But most of all, I love how you come back fresh and hopeful and positive after a stressful day! You remind me of a little bouncy ball - as you keep on going.....bouncing back everyday, no matter what! You are a strong lady, indeed! Keep on bouncing Lynda, love you and love your daily blogs!
ReplyDeleteOh Sandra--Yu are my pillar of strength--- I remember how you bounced back--- and your cats helping yu so much--=and there yu are--living in yer home and being strong-- Love yu, Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. How nice that you had dinner at Son #1's home and didn't have to cook or clean up! That's my favorite thing but it doesn't happen very often here. I'm so glad that today is a better day for you and that yesterday ended on a happy note. Yes, sometimes we just need to push through. This morning my husband told me that he was troubled because he was living with the same person for 28 years (our anniversary was Saturday). I told him he was very lucky he got such a good wife this time! Hope your good day continues!
ReplyDeleteLOL---- Men are weird--LOLOL--- but--- there are some good ones--LOLOL-- Did yu bop yer hubby on the head when he said that?--LOLOL----=Very hot here today--lynda
DeleteI mustn't write a whole book in your comments - I need to get out of the office, tidy the kitchen and get into the shower. So I can get a good night's sleep and have a better day tomorrow. I have arthritis in my neck and I spent way too much time alone without any one to look at directly so my neck muscles have turned to mush. I'm working very hard at keeping my head upright but some days, like today, it's as if my neck is a noodle. It just won't cooperate with me. And then the muscles get tight because I'm trying so hard. So a good shower with a bit of a neck massage via the shower head, should help a lot, I hope. I'm so glad you had a nice dinner at your sons. Steak and potato sounds delicious!! Yup, still friends with my ex, and as he's nearest to our kids I make sure that they and he see each other once in awhile and stay in contact. He's a good man, but I'm glad I'm not married to him! My second husband, Rod, was my real one true love and I have no interest in looking for anyone else. I'll just wait until we meet again, and we will. He was far from perfect, but never ever threw anything at me unless it was in play. We laughed more than most people I know, and that's what I think made us work so well together. I feel fortunate his time with the brain tumor that caused abrupt mood swings was short. I miss him like crazy though, even now and it's nearly 5yrs later.
ReplyDeleteYu can write as much as yu want on here--I do appreciate yer comments!--Yu made me LOL--saying that yer neck is like a noodle----Love yer comment--"He's a good man but yu are glad yu are not married to him -- I sorta feel that way at times too-It sounds like you had a very special marriage---My grown kids are the best part of my life right now--big hugs--- I enjoy your comments-Lynda
DeleteHow nice that you made it through the wild and wooly day! AND got to go to your DS #1’s house for steak and potato dinner.
ReplyDeleteOHhhh, that’s a great feng shui tip! Does it count to move a Himself around 27 different places? Enquiring minds want to know!
Hugs

Hey-That is a great idea--Do that feng shui on Himself-- LOLOL---Lynda
DeleteHappy news, Lynda!
ReplyDeleteTrust you had another veggie and or fruit with your steak and tater.
I treated myself to a pumpkin pie today at Walmart...they are just like I used to make but smaller. I figure a treat and a veggie together!
I am about to get my hair cut. My stylist comes to our building for a couple of us. Less $ than the salon, and she does a great job!
Hot here, too. It's due to be near 90F (32.2C). I am lucky I have A/C. I don't use it unless I really need to, though. We pay our own electric bills. I do have a discount, though, due to where I live.
Cheers for a good day! Let's believe the only way to go us up. {{{HUGS}}}
I too go to a hair dresser at her home--- I wash my hair before I go--It does save $$$-- It has been hot here also --I had the AC running all day today--and everything is so dry outside-- not much rain--Lynda
DeleteSo glad you both had a nice meal at son’s house. And son helped get Himself inside, without the heavy wheelchair. We have an awful dangerous heat advisory for several days, in Texas, up to 117 feels like temp! Misery. If that comes from some being up above, we must beat him up! Not funny. I will move 25 things around, lol. Follow your own rules. Play your piano, to heck with too many rules. Have some smiles!
ReplyDeletesmiles are the best are'nt they?--Lynda
DeleteForgot to post yeaterday: about the celery, if you wrap it tightly in a big piece of aluminum foil, it will keep for up to a month and your DH can't fuss at you. :)
ReplyDeleteOK--I shall wrap it--in tin foil?--Yu are so good to tell me that-Thank yu-Lynda
DeleteYesterday was tough for me to deal with, thinking both of my Dad and missing David..this is my first Fathers Day without him to fuss over and cook a special meal for and cards, and things............
ReplyDeleteI am glad you got to get out to #1's and had a good time.
Glad everything went well with dinner last night and that today is a better day.And you have the lady coming this week to clear out one level. That wil be interesting. Should be a better week. And the weather's good.
ReplyDeletehowdy brenda--Yes It is going to be a good week--Lynda
