DISTURBING THE PEACE

It is always amazing when a rainbow appears.  I know it is suppose to be a sign of hope and it is.

Yes I have been disturbing the peace with my coughing fits so dad and I went off to the clinic.  After listening to my chest he decided the old girl need some antibiotics.

Started them yesterday and had the worst sleep ever last night.  I think some times one gets worse before you get better.  I was just going to stay up but dad made me a hot drink and a heating pad for my chest and told me to return to bed.  I hate making such a racket and waking him up.  May I will sleep in the other bed to-night but hopefully I will be much better.

At the doctor's office I had to wear a mask which was the first for me.

Two quotes I found helpful.
"The older I get the more deeply I believe, but the less beliefs I have."  From John Shellby Spong's book which I know will be a challenge for me to read.

"Serenity can be a gift of aging if you are open to it,  Many older people (and I am getting there) tell me they have much greater emotional equilibrium than they did when they were young, and better able to adjust to life's ups and downs.  --Andrew Weil, M.D.

I am very disappointed I will miss a special celebration for my friend's 90 birthday at the church today but I can remember being absolutely crushed as a young person having to miss out on something.

Hopefully I am learning to accept things better.
