It is Wednesday, March the 18th- almost 7am----Lopez, Sushi and I are up-- dark outside--and cold in here--I have the tiny fire thing on--I must turn it up--The washer is nearly done--so, another day to count our blessings--be content to be alive--and to feel that the world is turnng out the way it is supposed yo--Remember, it is the mind that makes the body My Mom used to say, "Mind over matter"---and them she would look at Dad as she was staring at me, and say to him, "There she goes again Ivan--crying"----as the tears ran down my face. I was a worrier--(not a worrier)-Everything would upset me--I wonder why??-- Maybe it was just my make-up--I remember Dad always talking to me to try to calm me down--that the world was not going to end--that everything would be alright--So I learned to keep my fears to myself and only share my courage. And eventually this man , came along , and I learned that the world was not such as frightening a place. Above--Fred -a very young picture of him!
Words of Wisdom -I wish I wrote- #1.You are in control of how you respond to the behaviour of others
#2----Knowing what to forget is just as important as knowing what to remember
#3-We get what we give.
So---The family--Look what happens when you love someone!

Morning Lynda,
ReplyDeleteI didn't see your post from yesterday till this morning. I checked a few times yesterday early morning to see if you had posted but you hadn't when I looked and didn't get back to check later.
Sorry that Taxi was so expensive. That's ridiculous! There has got to be some kind of transportation for Seniors. You might check with a Community Center near you and find out if there is such a resource. Have your sons check for you.
I didn't realize that yesterday had been a year since Fred's passing. You are strong and you are carrying on as I am sure he would want you to.
Hope you are going to hang out at home and not go out in all the snow.
Have a happy Wednesday!
Hugs,
Jackie
Good morning, sis.
ReplyDeleteYour last 'words of wisdom' is SO FUNNY!
Love the family photos, especially the younger Fred. All the grandkids pictured...only 1 little boy?!
It's to be over 40 F today here and mostly sunny. With the temp, much of our snow will melt. It'll be sloppy in our parking lot. I don't plan to go anywhere anyway, but who knows?
Do you wash clothes every day? You must have lotsa stuff to wash that aren't clothes...unless you change yours several times a day.
John (the son I adopted when I was 16...LOL, is going to help me set up my new printer. I thought I could do it. Sigh. Aging is not all fun and games.
Must go no. Stuff I need to do before he comes. I'll check back a couple times. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
