Those Were The Days My Friend

My new roommate and I share old pictures with each other. She told me that she had not done that with anyone.

 

I went out with my daughter, saw purses,boots,soft knitted sweaters that reminded me of who I used to be. She is hazzy now,I like her more Than I used to.

 

My Now likes a drive to a store short time, coloring in an adult coloring book, visiting with other patients,eating looking out the patio doors, enjoying a fresh breeze here close to the ocean. Wondering why it took so much to get into this room. Roomie says she was irritated there were so many obstacles. And I feel I am at a different place! The nurses here are very nice to me.And They are not new and making mistakes. The CNAs are great and help out roomie and me. And Roomie tells them to do same things for me. It is wonderful,except the awful food is the same.

 

I had to postpone radio thing because my leg is infected and I am still on antibiotics.I will postpone.

I wonder if it possible that I could be pain free. Or like I could Be better somehow.

 

So then a friend called. That always is fun.Hearing about how life goes outside? It goes on and on of course it does. I really am glad for them all but I am consumed with jealousy. I want to live again. Then I Am ready to get off the phone.k

I am really happy to be in this glorious room with access to a yard. When daughter came to visit,roomie said she brought life into the room. It was fun with my motherlyroomie.

I can imagine how much nicer it is for you now, to look at the garden, to have someone to talk to, share things with, someone who even likes your family coming to see you.  This is real life now so just live  day by day.  If you can be just try living in the moment, it will be good for you.

Yes, Sue you are right. It is better to stay in the Now. Now is good. The problem is I still hold,cling,to that what would have,could have Land. That better Land. But...I believe I am where I am meant to be. Even if it isnt where I thought I was going. And it is hard.

Hello Sassy, so please that you are happy and with someone that sounds great for your soul. No looking back, you be so busy looking back that you will miss what is happening in the now. 

 

Enjoy my friend, everything happens for a reason, sometimes we don't understand why, but it is life .

Good to know there are some smiles on your face. Look forward ti the future even if you have to make it up. You make me smile. I can almost feel those soft sweaters. Luscious. Remember when women only had one dress to wear and how special a short length of ribbon was. Before my time but it always makes me think of how much we take for granted and to take time for the little pleasures. Sounds like a good roomie. You've got each others backs. :)
