That is so nice--"They lift others up"---
Everyday seems busy, but--yesterday was VERY busy--and my memory is not great-- It seems to --"literally" go---with the sadness--I have 2 calenders on the go right now--as I cannot remember from one day to the other, what I am supposed to do that day--It will be wonderful when this life of mine, returns to normal--if it ever does.--Is "memory loss" a part of the grieving process??--
A friend and I went out for dinner last evening-- I believe the whole town was at the same restaurant. We must find some place that is a bit quieter--However it really was wonderful to "eat with people"--
I could hear it raining ,n the night---and it seemed very windy.--"Fall Weather-"--I guess--- Lopez and I have not been out yet--
I read someone's comments --(yesterday)---on my blog--It seemed hurtful--but--I guess that is what I expose myself to , if I write-- not everyone can like or agree with my thoughts--made me sad--I questioned why I write at all?-- ----
I write I guess to support women-- Women hold this world up--- (my beliefs)--Women work very hard--- everyday----Women keep the children safe--women make a home for a family---Most women do the shopping--- When something goes wrong, it is the Women who try to fix it--as well as keep all the home fires burning--the children in school---I don't feel house wives get much recognition--so, I try to help them realize just how important they are--The men in a family are busy with their jobs-- financially supporting a family--but, it is the Woman who are really the heart of a family--- I never realized that until I was raising 5 people-(children)- as well as keeping a husband fed , and happy--and we really were a team-----I believe "Women make the world go round"-----Women just "DO IT"--- raise the children--feed the hubby--- and have faith that everything will work out for the best- and it isn't easy at times---
Good morning, Lynda! I look forward to your blog every day. I appreciate you sitting in the “blogging corner” to make it happen. That sweet little corner at your cute little place. It’s been raining in Ohio and we needed it so bad. No rain in weeks! What fun to go out to dinner with your friend. A quiet place may be nice to chat better. Did you go for ice cream? LOL. I hear that ice cream makes memory better. Can we just believe that? Haha!! Sending lots of love and hugs to you. Have a terrific Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteHy--LOLOL--No I did not go out for ice cream--LOL--But--Guess what?--I bought ice cream----LOL--Thank you for making me smile here--Lynda
DeleteMorning Lynda,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your blogs every day. You are just putting into words how you are feeling, what you want to do, and how your day is going.
Don't take someone's comment to heart. It's ok to express how you are feeling. Don't let someone's comment bother you. You know what they say "opinions are like a**holes, everyone's got one". Lol. Just keep doing what you are doing. I appreciate you and your blogs!
Hugs,
Jackie
Oh Jackie--YU are so good to say that--Yes it upset Me--the comments--but-- If I am o continue writing, I must realize that everyones thoughts are their own and not everyone canot agree with my thoughts-- thank yu for writing-Lynda
DeleteGood morning, sis.
ReplyDeleteI am happy you enjoyed your evening out. I am sure it was good for both of you.
Also happy you encourage us to be strong.
Remember, though, nowadays many women work outside the home, too, to help with bills and supplies. Many men help more around the house just cuz with a full time job, their wives can't do it all.
It's a little different now in some households.
Then there's all of us older women trying to keep our own stuff going on and stay happy. It can be hard.
It's foggy outside today. The temp hasn't even reached 60F yet. It's due to be 73F later on.
I need to go to the UPS store to have my train tickets printed. I gave up my printer. It wouldn't even stay plugged in. I have tried several brands. As little as I print, I decided to use the UPS store. They only charge 25 cents a sheet.
More packing today. Woke up to kitty throw up. Do you ever do that?
I will do some sorting out of things today, floor cleaning, etc. I want it to look decent around here for the ladies coming in to care for Lucky while I'm gone.
I saved 2 memes!
I hope you have a less frantic and enjoyable day, Lynda. Remember to think happy thoughts when you can. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
Glad you went out with a friend for dinner.I am sorry that eating alone is difficult for you. I kind of like being able to eat whatever I want, whenever I want, after a lifetime of cooking for my husband and family, but I understand that eating alone for you is just another reminder that your husband is no longer here with you. And yes, grief does affect memory and pretty much everything. Plus the fact that many of us are over 70 isn’t helping our memories either.😁
ReplyDeleteIt’s a rainy fall day here in Colorado. Hang in there, you are doing great! Blogging is your way of reaching out to the world and also dealing with life, so keep doing it if it makes you happy. Yes, sometimes you may feel like someone has said a negative thing, but I think it is probably how the comment is interpreted. I think the people responding to your remarks are usually trying to be helpful, so go with that. Susan/Colorado
Good morning Lynda, how nice to hear that you and a friend went out to dinner. I know what you mean about a noisy restaurant making it difficult to have a conversation. Your blog is your blog, and it's important for you to stay true to yourself and say what you're feeling. Some advice and comments should be taken with a grain of salt. What you are experiencing is your story to tell and and no one else's.
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be 92 degrees here on So.California today. I continue to pray for Fall like weather. We desperately need rain because wildfires are always a threat.
I hope your day goes well and that you enjoy a bowl of ice cream.

Hi Lynda, it's Kathy. I'm glad you were able to go out with a friend for dinner. I think if I was alone, I'd be less likely to cook just for myself. At least not the meals that I cook now. I am healing. Not real sure what I did to my back but I had to get the walker out of the basement just to get around the house. And my dear husband has been fetching things for me so I don't have to walk too much. I am in at least 50% less pain - I guess I just pulled something while I was in the garden on Thursday. We are finally seeing some more fall-like weather too. It feels good to sleep with the window open a bit! Yes, I believe we women do hold up the family. After my children's father left us I realized that I now had to be the disciplinarian of the family - that was his role and he often took it too far. So I had to be the soft parent, making sure every child was where they were suppose to be at all times, every birthday was celebrated, and meals were prepared weekly so they could put things in the oven and we could eat when we got home from work. Their dad lived off my income for over 8 years, and then left us because "he couldn't take it anymore". So I had to be strong. Women do what has to be done! And you are one of the strongest women I have ever met! And at this stage of your life, you get to do whatever you want to do! Take care and have a wonderful day!
