The above was me yesterday---- someone close to me was extremely frank--very critical of me--- so, well, you all know that it doesn't take much to make me cry---- but---- I am OK now--- I will not allow anyone to treat Lynda like she was treated--because Lynda is a good person--and Lynda will not allow anyone to treat her badly--Lynda deserves respect, and until she hears an apology, she never wants to meet that person ever again--THERE!-----Lynda would NEVER treat ANYONE in the whole wide world, like she was treated--ever!
And again this A.M. I called a store to provide our new address--took 45 minutes --so time consuming ----still deciding what to take--what to leave-- Yu know, when we arrive where we are moving to, I will be able to take Himself into stores --in a wheel chair of course, but I will not be so rushed--not so much to do --- more time for him-- The store I ran into this A.M., was all decorated for Christmas--Too bad Himself never sees this anymore--Soon, I can bring him in with me --so he can enjoy the Holiday Season--Do you know anyone confined to their home?--- Dd you ever think that they too, cannot get out to see a parade--or , just to appreciate the Holiday decorations--
Time for "oldies and Goldies
Above is a house we rented along the ocean, one year, for a couple of weeks, in Nova Scotia--
Our shoreline , winter time--with the docks all in---
SO, try not to cry to-day--- I did enough of that yesterday--just move on--Do NOT ALLOW ANYONE in this nutty world, to ruin your great life--- My advice to you---
Good morning, Lynda! So sorry to hear about the day you had yesterday on top of everything else! Shame on that person! I hope today is much better and with Himself being able to enjoy the Lodge it will all be good. Cloudy and 44 in Ohio today then turning to very cold this weekend. Yes, you will enjoy much more time for you and for taking Himself out. It will be so nice! Hang in there. All much easier soon. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt's Kathy. You're right, you deserve to be treated with respect by all persons! No one can truly understand what our lives are really like and how hard we try to do our best with everything! And you are holding the whole world on your shoulders! I truly hope that today is a much better day for you and I also pray that the person who upset you yesterday is ashamed of themselves and apologizes! The only person who has ever hurt me like that is my oldest daughter who thinks she knows everything. But the reality is she's never been married, doesn't have children, and has 24 years less life experience than I do! The last time it happened was last Thanksgiving and so I declared I will never host a family gathering again! She did apologize after a few days but I've learned to not put myself in that position any more. I feel so much better now that I know I can still do my Pilates - it's like I finally have hope that just maybe I really WILL heal one day! Enjoy your day as best as you can and know that you are a very strong woman!!! I'm so impressed by all that you are able to do!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you had such a bad day yesterday. No one deserves to be treated like that for any reason. Wishing you a great day!!
ReplyDeleteHugs and more Hugs. Hope today is better day for you!
ReplyDeleteYes to-day IS a better day--Thank yu-Lynda
Deletea much better day--for sure-Lynda
DeleteI'm sorry you were treated badly yesterday! There is 'frank' which is sometimes needed, and usually respectfully and lovingly spoken out of concern. And then there is 'frank' which is mean-spirited and hurtful, sometimes meant to put on a bullying sort of pressure. I'm behind you in years by ten or so, but you know what??? I let those people go from my life ... didn't tell them off, still pray for them, but no longer contact them or give them access to me except through email. I pray for them and have forgiven them, but I don't want that kind of negativity and ongoing meanness in my life. I don't contact them and have not heard from them. If they ever apologize and mend their ways as to how they treat me we can try for reconciliation. Life is too short. I stay in contact and share life with people who love me and show it by their actions. SO. MUCH. MORE. PEACEFUL. Are they family? Yes, they are.
ReplyDeleteSo excited for your move; my goodness it's literally days away!!! So glad for your looking forward to more time to rest and relax, spend time with your husband doing things together that he will find joy in. And looking forward to 'seeing' you enjoy old and new things you love to do on your own while Himself is in a day program, and with Son #2 and his wife.
I wonder ... if you can't get every single store called and sorted before you go, can you leave the 'least priority' ones until last and do it once you move in, or maybe get help from Son #2 with handling in online? Just a thought.
Love the Weirdatude picture.
Yes I must let it go for my own sanity--- sad really ! But---- It's not healthy to be treated so badly - Thank yu for writing-I appreciate hearing from you --Lynda
DeleteLinda You're Terrific!! Donna_cps2
ReplyDeleteHi Lynda: People have no right being mean to someone else. In these times that is not allowed anymore. I hope it wasn't one of your sons! Anyways that's behind you now and you have packing to look after. Time is marching on. It will be nice for Fred to be able to go into stores with you. Should make him feel better. Have a good night. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteHi Lynda...checking in and saying goodnight. Busy day here and I know your day was busy...they all are.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry yesterday wasn't good but hopefully today was better. Stay strong and carry on. Don't let the turkeys get you down!!!
Hugs and love

I am sorry someone was unkind to you Lynda as that is uncalled for.
ReplyDeleteLife is difficult enough without that.
Prayers.
Comment disappeared again. Why does it only do that when I forget to email to myself to repost if I need to? Grrrr...
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that someone was so cruel to you yesterday. You are going through so much right now. I did this 3 years ago, and I too do not understand why it takes so long to do one little thing. I am sure that it has a lot to do with identity theft. Just so you know I am sending up prayers for you and Himself for you to get through this. I know it is hard for all the decisions to be made.
ReplyDeleteHugs and prayers, Chris
I am so very sorry that ANYONE would speak to you rudely and disrespectfully, especially someone close to you. **SIGH* I agree w/TheThoughtsComingOutOfMyHead. . . it is important to forgive them, not for THEM, but for you. You don’t need that poison of resentment eating away @ you. YOU deserve better than that. That being said, definitely I would let them out of my life. And pray for them when you are able. It is especially hurtful if it is family. *SIGH* You have enough on your plate. You don’t need this.
ReplyDeleteI hope things are progressing for your move! Getting close. It will be SOOoooo good to get settled.
As for getting Himself out . . . it will be really good for him. I remember when Dad and Mom lived here. Both had mobility issues (and of course, Mom had Alzheimer’s) so it was VERY difficult to get them out of the house for a break, but Jason and I made it our resolve to get them out to the grocery store when possible so they could get what they wanted (I did the majority of their shopping, though) and we went out every Sunday afternoon for lunch. It was taxing (packing 2 walkers, and later, 2 wheelchairs) but we did it and so glad we did. So, it will be good when you can get Himself into stores, etc. when you go out.
Sending hugs and prayers and love your weirdatude . . . I have that, too!
Hugs and blessings
