Just dropping in to say hi. I am bad about posting, But still here making it the best I can. I call my home "The hermit House" because i am alone except for my caregivers. And that is okay,it is better than a nursing home.
Take that step
Don’t turn around
Keep on going
Don’t let doubt
Get you down,
Each step you take
Into your future
Is a new freedom
From the past,
You have won
The test called life
That feeling of
Success is priceless
It is joy with a smile.

A quiet sunday morning , a good time for reflections....I found myself being irritated by a very negative person on another blog.... He goes around to people he feels are vunerable and is verbally abusive to them...Hehas a sick soul and does ntor ealize hurting others will not help him heal.... I am working at being the best I can be and that includes staying away from negative.... We do not have April flowers here yet, everything still looks like March..... I am getting my new ( to me) home organized... wish me luck....it all takes time... I hope everyone has a great Sunday... I have already listened to some good music...Sugar Sugar by the Archies .....
Good morning everyone I am sitting here by the fireplace thinking this will be a quiet day for me.... Looks like it rained some last night but thats okay....April showers and all that.... have a great day.... get out and smell the lilacs if you can find some....
Good morning we are having a cool day in Minnesota today, I sure hope the apple trees have not started to bud. I am just settling into my new a partment... twice in a year is too much for an old gal. but it will get done only slower. I hope everyone has a nice day.... Smile, people will wonder what you are up to... :)
I am starting my day just sitting here cozy by the fireplace waiting for the dawn. Hearing the sounds of the geese calling each other reminds me spring is near. Have a great day everyone!
Happy ST. Patrick's Day to all Its been a while since I have been here but thought I would drop in to say hi. I have been making changes in my life and hopefully it will settle down soon. Enjoy the day and stay safe....
The long days are dreary wondering what is next, why am I here. These thoughts flow through my mind frequently. I am alone most of the time, feeling useless, again the thought is there in my mind. As I struggled to get up from my chair, grabbing for my walker that always seems to be a foot out of reach. I somehow missed the arms of the walker and I felt myself falling.
I woke up and looking around I saw faces of people, strangers where was I anyway? A voice came from just out of reach, a shadow face I could not see but I could hear. That voice said you wanted to know why you are alive, what use are you to the world, I thought maybe you should see a few of the reasons.
See that man over there in the wheel chair crippled from fighting for your country when a crazy leader thought he could control the world and he helped stop him, well you help him each day with your strength to handle the pain you live with, it gives him hope and strength to feel like he is worth something in this world.
Do you not remember the baby you took care of when the world thought he would never survive and the doctors thought an institution was the answer and you saw the light in his eyes and you worked with him for years, even when the pain was so bad that you would cry out in the night from the pain, well he graduated from high school. Your faith in him gave him the hope he so badly needed.
Or that young lady you dreamed about a few days ago and wondered who she was because you knew you were her but that was not you really. Well she is connected to you, she was hurt badly as a young child, molested by her so called loving uncle. Her self-worth was a hollow feeling, but you with your bravery to fight through that same horrible happening showed her the way to be happy in spite of her past, see her smile, see her dimples? Those same dimples that made you wonder who she was. Who she is that is not important it what is inside her now, the strength to go on and know she is worth happiness.
As the voice went on and other faces became clear and the explanations continued, the time I had grandchildren living with me, being there for family when they needed me.I began to feel strange, like tiny strings were holding me together, helping me to stay in this life, the hundreds of people that I had unknowingly helped through my life were now helping me, giving me strength, helping me heal.
Then there were new voices, and strange noises and bright lights, I heard a soft voice saying wake up, please you must wake up and slowly I opened my eyes and saw into the eyes of my granddaughter, the one I encouraged to become whatever her passion was, to make a difference in the world but then I thought she had forgotten about me. The nurse was holding my hand and softly repeating that mantra, wake up, please wake up grandma.
With a small smile I closed my eyes again knowing I was taught a very important question, why was I here, living in this broken body, now I knew the answer. We never knew who is out there needing your wisdom, your strength, your smile in spite of the pain. Even when you are sitting atone there are people out there, known and unknown that draw hope from you because you see, we are all connected by invisible threads and to give in to the loneliness or pain would be breaking that precious thread that holds all of us together
