I spent a couple of days with my eldest son and his family. I just love being with them! It is my escape from all of the details that swim in my head all of the time. I enjoy watching TV, telling the little ones stories, and just plain being silly. I don't often let my 'hair' down, but when I do I try to make the most of it. I grabbed an opportunity just before I left for the week and just took my grandson in my lap and started making faces with him. The next thing I knew I was talking 'photo-booth' selfies of the two of us. Here are a couple of results:
How I adore my Nathen and Abby! I plan on obtaining some fun pics of Abby and I soon!
The weather has been beautiful! I love marveling at the exquisite beauty of nature! This has also been a joy! I love my walks to work with my MP3 player on, listening to Yanni, Elvis, Donny, Nathan Pacheco, my friend Kenneth Cope, with a prayer on my lips and just taking it all in. I try to engulf my senses with things that make my heart feel lighter; grateful for another day.
The bad.
Work went well, but I was a little uncomfortable. The right kidney was letting me know that it was not happy today. I have learned to build up more tolerance to pain as compared to 13 years ago. I also let my mind think about the things on the 'To Do' list that I have assembled in my head. Called Dr. Z for Hepatitis B and Pneumonia Vaccines-Check; Remind yourself of your attorney appointment--Check; got a call, had to reschedule attorney appointment--Bother! I think I forgot to write that one down--Double check that one in the morning; Dental appointment--still to do; mammogram--still to do; etc. Goodness! I don't think the list will come to an end. I will be on a medical treadmill for the rest of my life. I try not to think about that part. Nope...One check at a time! If I may quote my dear friend Kenneth Cope, "Can't do it all at once. Gotta do it little by little." Awesome words of wisdom!
I finished up at work had a nice walk home stretched out to just think a little and debate about doing a load of laundry and when was I going to get on the bike waiting for me in the living room. I finally got on it at 10pm and spent the hour peddling and watching Hell's Kitchen. Yeah, and the right kidney? It's still there. I took a cool shower, gave my cats their night-time treat, and now writing this post.
I go to work late tomorrow, so I may read one of the many books that I have that I never seem to have the time to do. I may have to start cross-stitching again... I suppose I should finish a project that I started about oh, 5 years ago.... LOL!
Until next time, stop and smell the roses!
