God Bless America. We will never …
Two days ago I read in the local paper of a six year old who had lost her battle with brain cancer. Can you imagine your entire lifetime …
I become weary with those so wrapped up in their own grief that they fail to realize that others hurt too. Those who look at loss as a reason …
DEAR OLD GRANDPA
He was a handsome sort of fellow
In a different kind of way
He was a different kind of person
As I've heard many …
MY FATHER IS NOT VERY WELL, I FEAR My father is not very well, I fear His body is growing old He'll soon go home to God, I believe But I just …
It's been forever since we've talked. I hope all is well with you and yours. It's been a busy few months and I just don't get on here like I was able to before. Just wanted to say "Hi" and let you know that I was thinking about you.
Hoping you guys are having a peaceful and enjoyable weekend. Lost my computer again. Windows "locked up" and the Quickbooks support and online backup I pay for monthly could not get re-installed so I lost half of last year in some accounts and two months in others. Ugh! I'll be busy working on redoing all of that this week b/c taxes due March for the business. Gonna cancel that backup service. Paul's looking into buying a backup system. I am going to back up QB onto a flash drive EVERY SINGLE TIME I work on it from now on. That's what I had to use to give what I could back. Things have gotten better and I can only hope and pray they stay that way. Today Mom is in a bit of a mood but I'm just gonna stay out of her way and hope it goes away by dinnertime. Talk to you soon.
This Grasshopper is weary. I was doing so well until today. Ugh! Mom is supposed to go to the senior group a couple to 3 times a week for 3-4 hours at a time and for the life of me it always causes drama. I don't know whether to just give up on it or what. I'm going to call the counselor tomorrow to get her suggestion on how to handle this. She really is such a blessing and help to me. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my journal entry. Boy, do I have issues. Paul jokes with me that I'm like an onion but it really is true. Oh my gosh! It would be so much easier if there was just a tad of consistency with this stupid disease. One day Mom is so perfectly clear and the next it's the total opposite. I think that kind of makes it more difficult to adjust my attitude and responses. Keep fighting the good fight, right? Oh, and I think the neuro-psychologist would like you just fine! I have to tell you that you have given me the most amazing analogy. Thank you. Boy, did that make sense and bring a whole new meaning to "life." I keep expecting and hoping for this non-existent "peace" and that's just never going to happen. I have been viewing the changes as "defacing a beautiful painting." I had always looked forward to the future (and still do) but the past couple years took a lot out of me that I have to bring back to life. Thank you for your faith in me and for your friendship. I will continue on this quest and, yes, God willing, I will master some of those skills.
Sending you a note separately but wanted to send you some flowers as well. You and your family have been in my thoughts.
In my thoughts and prayers.
