Good day to you -"Forgetting your Fears"------today for sure--and maybe to-morrow also--and maybe even the day after that--"Fears of the unknown-"--- like-- should I move-?- maybe I should just stay here?--what if the house doesn't sell-----what if I, are not able to do the grass--how will I handle a move--and what about Himself?--- Will be handle a change?--like moving into the Lodge??--Lord love a Duck--but--to-day I really will be happy---forget all the above---Sometimes "stuff" just happens and then, don't you jess wonder how everything falls into place?--
--OH----Before I forget, Son#2, the Pilot is en route to Vancouver--He sent you all, a picture of a pilot (him )--getting ready for the flight--studying charts etc ---
-and below are some Bedtime Affirmations--a checklist to make sure that you are calm-- and ready go sleep---a checklist, to make to see if you are ready for sleep-
Lordy Be !-- What will they think of next eh?
I hope that your day goes well--If per chance, to-day, you meet someone who looks like they might be in the depths of despair, -perhaps a warm smile , from you, might help them to be happy--to feel good to-day--or--maybe if you dance around them, like a crazy fool, as if you were at Karaoke---you and them, just might make both your days a special occasion--
You are so right…I try to smile all the time, whenever I’m out … and I notice that people usually smile back! Moving is a huge adventure not for the faint of heart!! Having relocated a year ago, I speak first-hand..BUT…we made the right decision. You have a lot on your plate - the first priority is your ability to safely manage your current situation. You will know what to do….Take care. ❤️ Karen (Eissa7)
ReplyDeleteoh Karen-- I hope it all works out--I guess it will--My biggest problem now is Fred-- HUgs to yu, Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda, it's Kathy. I'm not sure how I will survive another spinal fusion surgery. Right now it's way more than I can even think about. I like the idea of Forgetting my Fears just for today, and then maybe again tomorrow! I only have to pay the co-pays but each of these darn MRI's and Scans cost me $100. I do have the money, but I sure don't want to have to spend all my savings! This morning my husband said to me that he wasn't happy with my attitude toward all of this. I'm not sure how I'm suppose to be happy when I've been unable to really do much of anything going on 4 years now and once I have the surgery it will be another 6 months of not doing anything! I'm just so frustrated! I'm glad you and himself had a good day yesterday. I love that he likes going to the Lodge. That gives him a different perspective and you some down time! I will remember to smile when I go to the clinic for the MRI's! Thanks for the last meme - yes, every day we're alive is a special occasion!
ReplyDeleteKathy--- do yu HAVE to have that Spinal Fusion??-probably eh??--- Poor yu!! I am laughing at yer hubby telling yu tht he isn't happy with your attitude---- Sometimes men don't think eh?-- Lordy Be! -- Anyway, hugs and I hope yer pain goes away--Lynda
DeleteLynda, there are so many 'what ifs' in our lives, aren't there? Best not to worry about the future, if you can. Live in the moment and count our blessings.
ReplyDeleteDoes the Lodge have a waiting list? What you call 'the Lodge' must be what we in the US call a Assisted Living with Memory Care facility.
I am glad Himself is at his program. You will be able to get something done for a while...Sadie stuff, shopping, piano...?
Did you get the deet free repellant for Lopez?
We don't seem to have the black flies you write about. We do have house flies, but not in swarms. I gotta look up this tiny bug that gets into my bathroom. Must come up the pipes...
Sadie has dishes to do here, and maybe a load or two of clothes.
Tomorrow is karaoke, so must get stuff done today.
Love the memes. Saved the Maya one. I do sing and dance...smile at people, even share a hug sometimes. Our relationships can really bring us joy.
Take care, sis. Enjoy the day as best you can. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
Oh Maggie--OK--I shall try very hard NOT to worry about the future--just live in the present--And yes, the lodge is an Assisted care facility---We have the black flies early spring-- not in the summer--common to Northern Ontario--- not in Southern Ontario-- I have son#3's 2 dogs till Sunday night----all I need eh?--more dogs--LOL--Lynda
DeleteWe can only live one day at a time. Thank goodness. I don't think I could handle more than one!
ReplyDeleteTomorrow we shall test little Ember's tummy... it's ten miles to my son's house where the family gather will be. Plus the stress of new people. She knows my son, daughter in law, and Carl, but hasn't yet met Lacey's parents! So between the bigger dog and the new people, and strange foods, and dangerous human stuff... ever wonder if your dog with tummy troubles really is exhibiting signs of anxiety?
Hang in there, and yes, let's all just forget our worries... for one day!
Little Ember is new to the world--=so sweet eh?--Don't yu just wonder what goes on in his little head?-How did she do to-nite?-Lynda
DeleteFriday night into Saturday, the diarrhea returned. I was cleaning out the crate at 2:20 a.m., then dosed her with the Kaopectate before putting her back to bed and going to shower myself. Sigh. We'll see how the family gather goes!
DeleteIt's Memorial Day weekend here! I intend to enjoy, chill out, have a few drinks, and not worry about a darn thing! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL--WELL--good fr you! And did yu chill out?--Oh I do hope so!---Bless yer heart also--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda
ReplyDeleteI LOVED ALL OF TODAYS INSERTS. Thank you so much for finding and sharing them.
Gotta stay in TODAY as it's all we got. I'm not very good at NOT thinking of the what ifs...but...I do know most things are out of my control and what happens...is what happens. I try to make plans but often God laughs and things aren't as I expect but they still work out. I try to stay in the moment and in this day.
I'm happy Fred is treated so nice at the lodge and enjoys going. Gives you a little reprieve although you have to take him and go get him.
I hope today goes well and you continue being positive and smiling. You are an inspiration and such a joy.
Hugs and blessings
Marge/St.Louis
Oh Marge--YOU are special-- Thank yu for thinking the blog was ok-- Sometimes I do wonder what yu all think, as I just "jibber jabber away----kinda try myself to figure life out as I type away to you all--Bless your heart-- Hugs, Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: I am really late. You may not see this. You worry so much. If you can't do things you have 3 sons and their families to help out. As for a move, I think the only place himself would be happy is at the Lodge. He likes how they treat him. Relax and have a good night. Brenda
ReplyDeleteYes, it is hard to think about changes, no matter what stage of life, but as we get older, it becomes even more daunting. One day @ a time.
ReplyDeleteLove the Maya Angelou quote. AND the picture of Son #2 preparing to take flight.
You are doing the best you can TODAY, and that's what counts. Try not to fret too much about tomorrow (says the queen of worrying here!)
hugs
