"Stop worrying about dying young-"----

 

Good morning---  It is Sunday--"Change the bed day"---a huge (I mean--"huge") bed--in a tiny room--

                                    But--it is done--Whew!!!! and the living room is tidied up--

So--We are ready to get to Church--Son#2's wife will be singing in the Choir this AM---so, I shall "hoof" it over there and sing , of course , not to sing in the choir_ ---but--shall sing out the songs loud and clear, in the audience-- and, of course it will be exciting--  (finally made it to Church AGAIN)

So, things are getting better here--Lordy Be! I was in the depths of despair"--so sad that we are here , (away from our beautiful home on the lake)----But--there is now $$$$ in the bank--invested of course, which was impossible before---and we just might need that because I can now invite ALL OF YOU to my funeral--LOLOLO--(Well, wouldn't that be a blast?)--- You would , for sure, feel like a VERY IMPORTANT PERSON)--L-O-LO-L-OL

So, it is Sunday to-day--the day to "change the bed"--and with 3 sets of sheets, it is no problem anymore--
We now have a new Lady living  in an apartment. below ours--Last night I took her a plate of dinner-- because I remember how terrible it was to even have time to eat , for 100 weeks after the move--She had that same look, as how I felt, the day of the move--(Unless you have experienced a "move" recently, you would not recognize what I am talking about!)----The grown kids help you move in--then they are out of there--I remember , for me---that's when the tears began to flow)---
Time to get ready for Church --  Aren't you happy that you are not sitting near me , in the Church?---
I hope your day is going well-- I do hear that SPRING is in the air--SOMEWHERE---- Have the faith--

Remember---

AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT DYING--(in case you are)--- WE have nothing to worry about--at our age, you know--

  1. It's Kathy. Thanks for all the positive reminders. Some days we all just need to be reminded that things really are good. I've been in the depths of despair for a couple of weeks now - feeling like I will NEVER again be able to walk, cook, bake, or even clean the house. BUT - I am reminded today that in only 30 days I will see the surgeon and he will say "yes, you may vacuum again!" I can get through the next 30 days. And by then it will almost be March with Spring just around the corner. AND I woke up today without pain - first time in weeks. AND my daughter is coming soon to take me to Brunch to celebrate my birthday - that we couldn't do for a month because I was so sick. AND today I decided to get out the old Gratitude Journal - and let me say, Lynda, that I am very grateful for you! Enjoy church today and sing out loud. God loves to hear our voices! Have a wonderful day.

  2. Hi Lynda, great blog.
    Your house looks good. I'm happy that you are feeling more comfortable there.
    How incredibly sweet and kind to bring food to the new tennant. You are a keeper.
    How'd the hair turn out? Good, I hope and less expensive, also hoping.
    I'm thrilled that you are going to church again. Sing your head off lol. The Lord loves us to sing his praises.
    Is Doc going to senior center there?
    Great inserts!!!
    You inspire me to be a better person. I admire your positivity, strength, and so much more.
    Be happy, warm and well.
    Love and hugs from Marge

  3. Good morning Lynda, you have me puzzled. You said a new lady moved in and she lives beneath you. I thought you and Fred lived on the ground floor. How kind you are to have taken a plate of food to her. Now you've made another friend. I think you're feeling more at home because now you have a hairdresser that you like, you've returned to Church, you know your way to the grocery store, pet store and book store. Slowly but surely you're establishing yourself in your new town. I hope you hear sooner rather than later and you and Fred have a Doctor that you can see when the need arises. It's wonderful that you no longer need to worry that you'll have enough money to see you through to the end of the month for your needs and wants. You mentioned before that you might hire a cleaning lady. Have you had any luck? I hope your day goes well.

    2. Oh, I could not live in a basement apartment. I need to be able to see the sky and clouds and people and plants. Maybe a basement apt is cheaper and that's all she could afford. Maybe in a couple of days check on her just to let her know someone cares.

  4. Lynda, your bedroom and living room photos look perfect. I can see Sushi's box and cat tree. And your wonderful piano. Hope you get a chance to play today.
    It was very thoughtful of you to bring food to your new neighbor. But you were brought up right, so of course you did that.
    Quiet day here. Not going to Bingo downstairs.
    It's warmer today with no wind and blue skies. It will be even warmer tomorrow. In the afternoon, I will try to start the car again. Hopefully it will work. Do you use gas line antifreeze in your car? I've got one more bottle of Heet.
    I hear the laundry room is free. I'd better get in there.
    I will be back later. Hope the rest of your day goes as well as the first part. (I used to love singing at church, too.) {{{HUGS}}} Love, your sis, Maggie

    "Stop worrying about dying young-"----

    First thing that popped into my head when I read your title was that having the surname YOUNG you would die young no matter what age!! Twisted sense of humor here at times.

  8. So glad you were able to get out to church, and sing. And it's close enough to walk? That's nice! I'm always glad when I've been to church and singing, greeting others, hearing a great teaching. When I can't go, I'm able to watch it on YoutTube in real time or later, which is nice but not quite the same.

    I'll bet your new neighbor was grateful for the meal you took her. Just to know someone thought about you is a lift to the spirit I think.

    Happy Sunday!
