It is "black as the Ace of Spades" outside-- --Mom's expression of course---and I believe it is raining-I think I can hear it.---
Last night, we had a call from the people who used to do our phones--The man told me that he would be here after 6pm to collect his equipment--so--one more thing I had to deal with after dinner--It seemed like the "never ending" day--

What a treat to receive a text from your sister when your day wasn't going well. It shows you that there so many of us that become worried when we don't see your blog. I love your inserts today and I will try and put a giggle in my wiggle. Lol. Enjoy your day! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh Madeline-- Yu are so good -- Yes to-day is going along as it should--but-- yesterday was not great-- I must be "old" eh--- just cannot handle so much all at once--- LOL--- still cloudy and cool here--- but---a good day---- I love to-day----Lynda LOL

DeleteAnother wonderful blog full of interesting points to ponder … I’m thankful for you and the fact that you take time out of your busier than busy day to blog!! Love your “6 Things….” list. The biggest thing for me is to not worry about things I cannot control…that’s hard, sometimes! Hope you have a good day! ❤️Eissa7
DeleteI worry about everything--LOL--I wish I didn't!--Hope your day went well---Himself has a Birthday tomorrow--He will be 95 --Lynda
DeleteI'm so happy you take time out if your very busy hectic life to blog each day. Lovr your inserts! They are always wonderful and provide opportunities for me to learn, smile, giggle and ponder.
ReplyDeleteHope today goes well. Hope himself is in a good mood today. That helps your day.
I will put extra giggle in my wiggle Today! Hugs
Sure hope Beau paw improves. Poor baby.
Happy to hear that yu have more giggle in your wiggle--LOL Beau's paw does look better--Im afraid to undo the bandage however in case he begins to chew it again-- Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy - looks like Beau doesn't mind too much having his foot wrapped. We are expecting rain here this afternoon - I was hoping I could get out to walk Daisy but probably not because I have my class at the gym this morning. I sure don't want to go, but I know I need the exercise if I will ever get my old self back! How nice that your sister checked in with you. I hope today is a much calmer day for you!
ReplyDeleteHow was your gyn class? We have rain here also this evening--and snow in Calgary I hear-- and-- it was a much calmer day here to-day-Lynda

ReplyDeleteSo happy today is a better day for you! PHEW.
Oh I hope that Beau’s poor foot heals!
YES! Happy people don’t have the best of everything, but MAKE the best of everything. LOVE that meme.
Awwwwww, so glad that your sister reached out to you! Sister love – nothing like it.
Here’s to a terrific Tuesday!
Hugs

always good to hear from yu Barb----Better day to-day--more normal--LOL-- but--we do survive these busy days--Lynda
DeleteIt can be hard sometimes to not feel sorry for ourselves...to not begin a 'pity party.' I can usually do it if I think of all my blessings, think of Lucky and my marvelous grandchildren. I can usually do it...unless it all comes down, one thing after another on the same day!!!! Like you had yesterday, and like I had Thursday with the B/P, the EMTS picking me up, Lucky crashing the book shelf, etc.
ReplyDeleteHoney, we are only humans!
The photo of great. I thought that was you on the bike.
Happy your phone problems are fixed.
Not too cold here. 60F, but rain on and off for 2 or 3 days yet. Next week it's due to go down into the 40sF.
The barometric pressure or something makes me sleep so well when it rains.
We just gotta live in THIS moment...nor worry about what came before or what comes next. We are strong, and can get through anything.
{{{HUGS}}}
That was our one and only daughter --with Himself --on the bike--out in Vancouver--our wonderful vacation-And good thing we don't get too many of those crazy days eh--LOL--WE HAVE TO BE STRONG --I love hearing you say that--Big hugs-Lynda
DeleteI think it's awesome that your sister is watching for your blog! Sisters are wonderful. I ought to know. I still have three of them.
ReplyDeleteWe have the mowing guys here, and so far, Carl has been tolerant of their right to work in my yard. I'm proud of him! Prisoner seems to be weathering things well, too. So at least for a couple more days I'm a busy lady!
May your today be calm, and may Beau's foot heal well.
Barb--I do love my sister---I am so fortunate to have her-- Mom and Dad chose her when I was young and Ive always loved her to pieces--Lynda--=Nice to hear that Prisoner is happy--
DeleteLove the Six Things list - so true. Poor Beau. Hope his paw is getting better but vet probably needs to look at it. Glad today is going better and hope it stays that way. Nice to hear from your sister and to know she follows you. Have a great day. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteBrenda--Whatta good day today compared to yesterday-- SO so nice to hear from yu-- I hope today was good for yu-Lynda
DeleteSo happy that your sister contacted you! I miss my sister, she died 2 year ago!
ReplyDeleteHoping that Beau's foot can heal since it is bandaged. I had to take my two cats to the vet today for their 3 year check up. My girl cat weights 3 pound more than her brother! She doesn't play as much as her brother so I need to find ways to get her moving more - plus she ys any food he leaves....but not sure how to deal with that! haha! But they both are healthy and got good reports! It is a hassle to get them both in carriers and to the vet....another sign that I am getting older and things get harder for me!
So about your meme about being strong:
1. I think I've moved on - but I still cry almost every day when I think about how much I miss my beloved husband.
2. I really don't embrace change - but I try to accept it.
3. I am happy most days, but things I can't control do stress me out (thinking about recent pool painting ordeal).
4. I always try to be kind, but find it hard sometimes to speak up.
5. I do take some calculated risks, but often ask my kids first.
6. I do celebrate others celebrated successes - especially yours, but I must admit that I feel sad when I see other happily married couples and wish I wasn't a widow.
So I liked the meme, but it made me realize I still have a long way to go to be a strong woman! Thanks for sharing it!
So lovely that you heard from your sister. My two sisters live in Georgia saw each other the other day. I'm somewhat jealous of that, but I'm able to talk to them online and one I even video chat with almost every day. I think the phrase "feeling sorry for yourself" should be changed to "having compassion for yourself". it's important for us to have compassion for ourselves. After all, we must take care of ourselves and look after our well-being, it's one of our most important jobs. Sometimes we need to look at the things that are bothering us in order to fix whatever is wrong or find solutions that help us feel better and be better. Okay, that's me done with philosophy for the day! I hope Today is going well for you. I'm struggling with a few things, but they'll get better. ((Big Hugs))
ReplyDeleteWOW! Sending Birthday wishes from Ohio! I hope he is having an amazing day and you both are enjoying the celebration!:)
