In response to "Blessings "

Excellent point! I have to take time out now and then just to say to myself, you have nothing to complain about when compared to others. I have a small medical condition but not life threatening. I am 79, see good, hear good, walk good - no complaints I say. So we do need to remind ourselves how good we have it.

I guess as you get older it comes before us more, like for Willie Nelson in his 90s. Age is a big factor. But, since we have no real control on age, we all age, we must make the best of it.

Blessings to you, and thanks for reminding me how go I have it!

Dogs and dog toys are one of life's hazards. I wish you a quick recovery. Happy Thanksgiving.

In response to "Gratitude "

I can understand the patients mistaking their gratitude for romantic love, since they were the ones suffering and they were helped. But when the doctors and nurses take that patient seriously, it becomes something else; luckily, this is rare.
Like you said, there are many kinds of love.

In response to "Beauty in aging"

I'm with Sue on doing everything you can while you can Kåre เลียม Enga

Sue, I was a force to be reckoned with when it came to doing things until 3 years ago, and then I took that crazy fall off the ladder. That fall broke not just my feet and damaged two discs in my back and tore the cartilage in my knee but it stole my fearlessness in doing things. Now I find I'm afraid of doing anything that might be risky where I never used to worry about the possibilities.
I've never cared about physical appearances, the things that mattered most to me was doing the things I dreamed of doing like hiking in Bryce Canyon, traveling to all the National Parks, dancing all night with my hubby and then walking together as the sunrises. I've accomplished a few parks and danced with my hubby but not all night and thankfully we've seen a lot of sunrises together.

Grasp life with both hands. While you can travel do it, Kare. It’s the thing which gives you most joy and happiness. The warmer weather will do those aging bones good too. You don’t have to hop skip and jump to enjoy an outdoor food market or just sit and chat to a stranger. We need to find our pleasures where we can before it’s too late. Looking forward to reading your observations from Penang.

I am definitely faded. I'm doing this 10 week trip to prove to myself that I can. I don't hop, skip and jump. 42 stairs up may yet do me in.

In response to "Risky business "

You did take huge risks, didn't you! But I applaud you for every single one of them. I think you are better off for taking all those risks that made you a strong person.

In response to "When I’m no longer here."

I know what you mean about not wanting to go back and edit my work, and I do cringe when people review older work of mine.

I don't have answers either.

Blessings

Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"
Day 2396--November 25, 2024

“When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.”
Willie Nelson
In what ways can we count our blessings and feel thankful?

Sometimes it’s a hard thing to see what you’ve got and only be concerned by what you’ve not. We can become so involved in our troubles and worries we think we’re the only one and everyone else is doing so well.
Social media has a much to answer for. We log on to see our friends and family members having what appears to be a wonderful life; great kids, no money problems, nice house/car/clothes etc. Yet it is simply a veneer, everyone has troubles, it’s inevitable. Money doesn’t always guarantee success and happiness. Millionaires can still be miserable and unhappy. They still get sick.
Imagine sitting around a dining table with a group of others and each person put their troubles/problems in the centre and you could swap your troubles for one of theirs, I guarantee you’d quickly grab your own back.

So take a moment and count your blessings.

Falling down

#1901868 by Lyn's a Witchy Woman

21st November.
Have fun with these nine words: muscle, watch, wardrobe, energy, strike, exception, consciousness, point, and incentive.

It’s been a week of recovery of both mind and body. Each and every muscle without exception decided to let me know where it is situated and complained about the harsh treatment it received. My energy levels reached rock bottom, and I had no incentive to do much of anything, and more to the point my muse deserted me in my time of need.

Luckily when I tripped over my dog and hit my chin and throat on the vacuum cleaner, I didn’t lose consciousness. The strike caused me to receive a skin tear on my upper chest for which I’m still receiving medical treatment.

My husband is always reminding me to watch out for Lucy, who at aged 12 decides to lie down anywhere to sleep these days. She certainly moved very quickly after I came crashing down and yelled for John to come and help.
I wasn’t looking in any fit state to go anywhere, and John had to get something for me to wear from my wardrobe and assist me to dress before I could get my arm X-rayed at the hospital.
