View From My Window

Thursday, January 5, 2023 — Another busy day scheduled for today. My hospice nurse should be here shortly and then my personal aide will be here to help. I discovered that I had called in early December to cancel Robert’s appointment with the neurologist. It took me 2 hrs. on the phone to find that out…should have marked my calendar, but I didn’t. Bad girl, no biscuit!

I was up a bit late last night — made caramel corn for a friend’s birthday. I have enough to give to my hospice nurse AND my aide, AND have some left over for Robert to snack on. I want to go in and make a couple of applesauce cakes — we’re getting over-run with small unsweetened applesauce cups in the refrigerator. Speaking of which, we received our Mom’s Meals delivery yesterday and the neighbor across the way brought the two boxes in out of the weather. When I called to let them know I was back home, he brought over two huge boxes of food. As I opened each box, I told Robert I thought there had been some sort of mistake because there were no less than 14 meals and I only ever ordered 10. Hmmm… then I noticed the name on the shipping list and it wasn’t my name at all…. Ugh… and I’d already put 90% of the food in my refrigerator. Add another item to my ever-growing list of calls/things to do.

I did call the window-washer and asked him if he wouldn’t mind coming back and putting my window screens up — we had one heck of a wind storm last night and the screens are all over the deck.

Well, I have calls to make and things to do so will close this with love to all… Be blessed and enjoy your day. Our sun is breaking through to a beautiful bright blue sky.

Blessings to all; be sure to tell those you love that you love them. I’m sharing a post from a blogging friend whose posts usually resonate quite strongly with me. I hope you find her words uplifting and peaceful. Take care…

dymoonblogThursday Doors China DreamJan 5          I am a door. Not always pretty,, but usually functional. I come in all shapes and sizes, just like you do. You can open me, you can close me. What doesn’t usually happen, is you don’t take time to get to know me. You use me. Plain and simple, you use me at your convenience. Often I am left to endure what-ever weather comes alone, I keep you safe, do I get a thank you… seldom… how often do you simply bang me shut or slam me hard to make a point. Sometimes you even kick me. Since this a group with a focus on doors, is anyone interested in starting a Doors have feelings too.. group?

I woke this morning to a cold, wet day, what had been rain and wet snow, temperatures here have been above normal for days, we have had no deep freeze for some time.. guess what .. temperatures are dropping, when you open the door the frigid cold snaps a sharp wet ice missile at you… the elder dog gives you a “hurry up” bark.. his tone tells you, he wants in NOW.Sister whippet just got up .. went out and was very quick to come back… it is going to be a very different day today.. whoooppeeeee…. dress warmly.Here is a flash back to a quote from 2016Wisdom comes naturally when you are humble. You will stop growing if you have a conceited or boastful mind. Always remember to be humble.Perfect Liberty 2016.5Love is a genuine feeling it is a heartfelt embrace, a gentle touch, an understanding heart – love that is real will transcend all mortal boundaries and imposed rules, it simply IS – be present – BE happy.
