Good Morning Lou, Good to be up and around once again. Still not a 100%, getting there though. I know all about trying to please others. My Mom and I were like that, anything to keep her happy, so she wouldn't start with the the
accusations no one loved her B.S. I fell for it for years. When she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's I relented some. Took care of her(along with a part-time caregiver) the last 2 yrs. of her life. Ron always commented I grieved more when the dog passed than when my Mom did. I did, I knew my Mom was dying, and it was just a matter of time. Hospice gave me a heads up on a Wednesday to ask for time off from work, that it was just a matter of days. She passed that Friday morning at 1:30 A.M. I think about her and my Dad from time to time, and my Granny. They are all buried at Glen Rest, there is one empty plot that is mine, so when my time comes, I have it set up with the funeral home, my ashes and Ron's ashes will be buried together in a vault in the plot.
How did PT go? Good I hope. Summer isCa
C slowly coming to an end. Still having some hot days, 88 here now, blue skies and sun. I may venture out later, after a shower and some lunch.
Ron liked the actresses of yesterday years also. They were classy, beautiful, could act. There was a movie on, it had
Lucille Ball in it, very young, blonde hair(I'm guessing, since it was a B&W movie). I didn't recognize her at first, she was very pretty. I grew up on I Love Lucy, Jackie Gleason, Ed Sullivan, Lawrence Welk(disliked that show), and the
Westerns, Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, Cheyenne. Later years(when I hit my teens) it was The Grand Ole Opry , Shindig!, Dick Clark's American Bandstand, Hullabaloo.
Lunch time. Talk again soon, hugs and smiles, Carole.[/QUOTE)
Carole, haven't heard from you since
Friday. Hope you're 100%, after not
feeling well. Is it cooling down in Ohio?
It is here. The mornings are cool, & I
need a sweatshirt & jacket. Temps go up
to 70, in the sun. Trying not to be sad over
the passing of summer. Perfect quote from Center for Loss today. It's by George
Santanyana, about the change of seasons.
I love getting a different quote sent to my
email address everyday. Deb & I love this ,
bc it was founded by a therapist, who
specializes in grief. I urge you to give it a
try! Not sure if I slept enough last night,
bc I had a lot of active dreams. I was
sitting on a bench, in the sun, with some
tourists walking by, and I nodded off,
covered by my hat & sunglasses. Maybe
I was feeling depressed and lonely, bc a
lot of the shops were closed, on a Tues.
I'm starting to take a bus to the nearby
larger city, for restaurants & a change of
scenery. Having lunch at a counter. Hope
that revives me, or I'll have to go home &
take a nap. Lou
