Be Proud!

Yes, I made up the  King bed--- clean sheets--and I slept on my side last night---not the side where I crashed onto the floor from----  Himself's side!--You know, maybe he pushed me out --??--Well ---Ya never know!-

We have cool weather--wind--and even a bit of rain--It is looking kinda stormy out there. But, the good news is---  I am vertical--have not  even crashed down-- Isn't it a terrible feeling , when you begin to fall, and you cannot stop the fall at that point--  One just crashes, smack down, onto the floor--and you  lie there , thinking , what on earth just happened?-- AND--- What is broken?--and---  Where does it hurt the worst?--But, all is good this morning--

It does look very stormy outside right now---so, maybe I should wait a bit before taking Lopez outside--who, by the way, is laying here  watching me--  all curled up in a ball--

One of my younger Grand Daughters texted me last night, to lt me know that  her Birthday is coming up--It was Son#4's daughter--I thought that was so sweet!---I will get a card with gift money in it, and get to the post office to get it into the mail-  She is a sweet girl~She also asked when I will get back to Elliot Lake--So sweet!!  These are the reasons that I am returning to Elliot Lake--I have several Grand children living there!

So-----Have you seen the present lately??  Do you  sorta live in the past?? Is it something that happens when we are ""OF AN AGE""--????--I wonder -----  Hmmmmmmm........

Do you ever look  in the mirror and see  some crazy  old Ghost  blocking your reflection-----and are shocked with your reflection--------I hope that yu are proud of that person you see---She /He  has survived so so much!  Be Proud!

  1. Good morning, Lynda! It is sunny and cool in Ohio with a light breeze and the windows are open and birds chirping. Look at that sweet face. Lopez is super cute! Very nice to hear from your granddaughter. It won’t be long you will be in move mode. How exciting?!! Yes, making a king size bed can be a struggle. You could go with a queen at your new place. Enjoy your day. It’s our favorite. Get some ice cream or are you waiting til you get to Medina and we go? LOL Hugs!

  2. Good Morning!
    It's sunny and going to be in the 70's today before rain hits again in the next couple of days.
    As we get older, we do have to worry about those falls, I know I do. i was diagnosed with osteoporosis last year so I worry about falling and breaking something.
    That picture of Lopez is just so cute. That sweet face. Is he still working with a trainer?
    That's sweet of your Granddaughter to text you.
    Have a super Sunday!

  3. Grandchildren are the best reason one can have! I do hope the move back results in more time with all of them!

  4. Cool weather here and cloudy, but no precipitation . . . at least not for now. I’ll take it.

    Yup . . . falls definitely do a # on our confidence in being mobile, etc. My fall was 3 weeks ago and I feel like I am just now getting back to myself w/o walking like the “older lady” that I am! LOL

    Oh many the day I look in the mirror and ask, “Who is that anyhow? Can’t be me”. But, it is! So, have to love that lady in the mirror, right!

    Hugs and blessings

  5. It's Kathy. Yes, I look in the mirror and no longer recognize the person looking back! I don't live in the past, my past wasn't all that great - but I'm not real happy with the present! I want to watch the news so I know what's going on in the world, but most days I just turn it off again! Maybe I really don't want to know. I hope you have a lovely day. We finally have sunshine so I hope to get a little walk in with Daisy and get some outside work done! Happy Sunday!

  6. We all see that stuff in the mirror, sis...unless maybe we started using wrinkle remover/moisurizer and sunscreen in our much earlier years.
    It's nice you heard from your granddaughter. My oldest son's birthday is on the 28th.
    I haven't been outside for over a week, but I hear cooler weather has returned.
    My phone is charged now. I will plug in this Kindle, use the bathroom and call for someone to take me on a walk. They will not let me do that by myself yet. Few step to the bathroom they will. I won't heal if I don't move around. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

  7. I enjoy MOST things about my successful cataract surgeries a few years ago. Increased distance vision to the point I no longer need prescription glasses is very helpful. I just buy 'readers' online or from the dollar store. However, before the surgeries I saw a softened version of myself in the morning mirror. I put on my glasses after my cosmetics, so saw my finished self. Nowadays I see myself crystal clear first thing in the moring ... wrinkles quite defined; bedhead amazingly sticking out all around. I'm accustomed to it, but it was a shock the first few times. :)
