GOOD morning YOU! Yes--GET THAT LOVE INTO YOUR HEART! --It is September 16th--- and here we are! We are a part of this day----this world!----I just got up here--- I am dressed--I must feed Sushi---Are you feeling the love this morning???
Could this be your day to go Feathers, Fluff, sand Fancy??--Well, ya never know eh?-- Right now I m in track pants and t-shirt--It seems to be my "norm"--these days--partly because Amazon ships the outfit right to my door--it might be nice to get out the Feathers-
Right now, I must get the wee Lopez out-- in his jacket---we have sunshine--cool-ish out there tho--I did groceries yesterday--When going thru the cash, 2 very tiny white hair-ed ladies were standing waiting to talk to me--When I approached them, they said, "You moved back didn't you?"- I reassured them, that, "YES" I had moved back to Elliot here"--They nodded and told me that they were so happy I was now living here in Elliot Lake--They then told me they went to my husband --He was their DR--I was happy for them--because they were so happy to see me--nice people here in Elliot Lake--
--and here is the "real" Elliot Lake--LOL--- with a sandy beach--AND clean water---AND--hills in the distance--LOL--
Miss Sushi is doing well, by the way--She seems to live upstairs however--comes down here in the night --I ran into one night in the kitchen--prowling around--She is a good cat-- Remember, I found her-a kitten-??---was "wild'--and lived under our bed (on Fred's side!)-for at least 6 mos----- and because she would not come out from under the bed, the litter box had to stay on Fred's side also------AND HE NEVER COMPLAINED!------ Fred really was an amazing man!
Of course I do live in the past now--Does everyone who has lost their partner?? Hmm----I wonder!
So, a new day-- I shall try to get out of the past--live each day--- meet new people---and experience new adventures--It is a "must" -----Maybe if I really did get out the "feathers" etc, life might become interesting--Hmmmmm--Something we should think about--
Hi Lynda, it's Kathy. I think I also live in the past some days. Life felt so much more manageable back then when I was able to do the things I wanted to do. It's still very warm here in Minnesota with rain expected starting tomorrow, on and off for several days. Makes it hard to close things up for winter when you can't get outside! I hope you have a good day today! Oh, and yes, I remember when you found Sushi! I'm glad she's coming down at least during the night. Soon she will feel at home again.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Lynda, you sound positive today, which is a good thing. Do you have a movie theater or live performance theater in town? Maybe you and a friend could go to lunch and then out to see a movie. If you cultivate friendships, you won't feel so lonely. Nice to hear that Sushi is well, and does come down at night. Whatever you do today, I hope it brings you some joy.

I try not to live in the past. It has been 6 years since I lost my husband....and I still cherish the memories of our 56 years together, but life demands that we move forward - and so one day at a time, one foot in front of the other, I try to make each day a good day! So happy to hear that Sushi is coming downstairs! My two spoiled cats are very happy to be back in our house after living in the little rental for 9 months! And so am I! Very hot here....temps in the high 90's! At least the heat is keeping the grass from growing so fast and I don't have to mow as often.....there's always a blessing somewhere!

ReplyDeleteAwwww, so nice those ladies took the time to talk to you. AND double nice they were so find of you Himself. He was a good man.
ReplyDeleteSushi . . . she looks so regal. She really is a gorgeous cat!
Makes me a little teary eyed to think about how quickly the time has gone. Have to really appreciate every minute of every day. It is a gift.
Hard to push yourself to get out and interact w/others but it is so good for our mental health. Proud of all you’ve done on your own. It is NOT easy. I know Himself is very proud of all you've accomplished.
Hugs and blessings. Give hugs to Lopez and Sushi.

Afternoon Lynda,
ReplyDeleteOh how nice of those ladies to approach you and tell you how much Himself meant to them.
Great picture of Sushi. She looks similar to my Gus. Both are Black and Gray Tabbies.
Nothing wrong with wearing comfortable clothes. Why dress up when you don't have to which is how I do it now. Comfort wins over gussied up every time.
Hugs,
Jackie
Elliot Lake is lovely, do you often go down there and stroll on the beach? I sure would! I just LOVE beaches, but am 3 hours away from Lake Erie and I do not drive freeways, but I used to have a friend, her son spends every weekend during the summer down there, maybe even part of the weekday too, and it's a 3 hour drive for him, too!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice here, I guess, 82 degrees. By this time of year, however, I'd rather it be a little cooler and more fall-like.
And I second whoever else who said you can't live in the past. Life is happening NOW. The past is the past, as they say, you're not going that way. I know you have lots of wonderful memories of then, to sustain you, but DO try to live NOW, go out, go shopping, to the cinema, see a play, a concert, whatever! :) Go out to eat. I just got back from eating at a Mexican place around the corner. Yes, by myself, I had my smartphone. Don't need any company. When I had company he never talked anyway, LOL

Good morning, sis.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice here, too. Over 79F already and mostly sunny.
Love the beautiful Elliot lake...with the hills in the distance. You live in a beautiful place. It has beautiful people, too, like those ladies, Gil and YOU!
Lynda, whether you are 'living in the past', dreaming of the future or just doing a chore or an enjoyable activity YOU ARE DOING IT NOW. The Power of Now is a great book! The author is Eckhart Tolle.
I'm planning on getting my hair done within the next day or 2.
Garbage and recyclables today.
Lucky is asking for attention, lunch and a nap.
I will be back later, sis. We'll see how much we get done...be sure we don't feel guilty for what has to wait for tomorrow and how much we enjoyed our day. {{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
