Sometimes you have to walk away-

 

Well, I am late blogging and--you can blame it on Sadie, the cleaning lady, who, as you know, is really me--

You see, she was knocking at the door early this morning--  and was bound and bent, to get the living room dusted, furniture moved-- dog hair vacuumed up-- and, she announced that  no matter what, she was going to do it!--and----you know, when Sadie gets a "Bee in her bonnet", come  hell or high water, she is going to do what she  had planned--She told me that it had to be done on a day when it is not snowing--because, when the snow falls, she says , the Lady of the house , (who is really SADIE/Me--)-goes outside for hours and hours trying to clean it up---

Sadie is a good soul however--

That is what I do--a lot-----walk away----from Himself ,--- and from a lot of stuff, and just do my thing---and to-morrow , do one more thing--Everyday there is a lot of nonsense--like-- now taking my blood pressure  morning and night-- The good thing  is, mostly the numbers are the same--so, of course, Himself, who is an "older than old" Doctor, cannot see why this has to be done , everyday--AND TWICE everyday-- and then there is my new Doctor,  "younger than Springtime"--who wants to see all these numbers in 15 days--

"Just do it a couple times a week". Himself says----  "It is crazy  checking the  BP so often--"

and so, I walk away---from all the nonsense---

How is your day going?---I believe it is raining outside here---rain on snow- creates ice----I must buy some salt before I break my neck---Himself is not a fan of "salting sidewalks"--- but, then, he never goes outside-----  "You don't need  to throw salt down", he tells me---I walk away--- because I will buy salt this afternoon--

We all are important---in different ways--for different reasons--No-one ever tells us that--- but--- we are--Every morning , we should stand in front of a mirror and tell that person in the mirror, just how special  she/he is---

We are heading to town this afternoon---I need a trip to the Pharmacy, plus Himself has a list as long as your arm, for fresh bread and  sliced roast beef--(and I saw some bags of salt in the front of that store)--Lord love a Duck! -- I do not but ice cream any more--no sweets-- no G'ale---- but--- groceries nearly cost an arm and a leg anyway--

Remember to be strong-- try to please the people in our lives---- but---walk away , quietly, from the nonsense---always remember   that you  are alive for a reason----and that you really are stronger than you  think---
