Sometimes you just do not get see the results you expected.
The cookies in the recipe looked great but when I made them they looked totally different and did not taste like I thought they would.
My visit at the Seniors home was painful. Basically I was ignored and I could not get any response. I only stayed for a short visit. The one thing about visiting the sick and elderly you just never know how a visit will go. I tell myself not to take it personally.
I come home and gradually can let go of my negative thoughts and feeling.
Letting go is a healthy way to deal with stress. It is important to keep anticipating better results.
The future is not ours to see. Whatever will be will be.
Like the Serenity prayer says"Let go and let God deal with it."

Oh dear...all that effort to go and do some visiting and you didn't have anyone to talk too? How disappointing for you, Beth. I think many suffer from depressions and they just weren't in the mood for a visit?
I would hate to go into one of those homes..i guess we all feel that way. I hope when my time comes I am struck down and it is over. BAM! But not for a long time as I have a lot to do...
Carl's brother had an aerota aneurysm and he chose not to have the surgery and he died quickly in his bed when it burst. I respect his choice although many in the family didn't understand it. Now, Carl had the surgery and is doing well. Mind you he has another one, but it is small and they are watching it carefully.
How did you make out with your doctors visit and application to re-new your drivers licence? I hope it all went through for you.
Your white roses with the touch of pink look like my sweet peas. Did you think that the rose would be larger or have more pink? it is pretty and reminds me of a shrub rose I used to have.
My sweet peas are smelling so awesome! Not all sprouted but the ones that grew are so lovely. They remind me of home, when I was a child and I helped my Father with the sweet peas. He used to grow amazing ones that had seven and eight blooms on a stem.
The military were holding night maneuvers over the lake last night and there were lots of flares and large search and rescue planes and a huge assault helicopter flying overhead...very low and very noisy. Everyone was tlaking about it on social media this morning.
It is going to be another great day....have a good one!
Love Nancy
Very nice of you to give it a try Mom in terms of visiting the rest home. A very Christian thing to do. I'm sorry to have to observe that that term - a Christian thing to do (which I think of as meaning being kind and putting others ahead of oneself) - has lost its meaning these days as so many allegedly religious people (NOT ALL, of course) seem so preoccupied with being angry and vengeful and full of hate. Fundamentalists are the worst part of every religion. If only everyone could be kind and thoughtful like you are.
I am home today as I had another bad attack of the kidney stones last night and hardly slept and feel very weak. Sigh. I should have borrowed a few morphine pills from you when I was there last weekend. Would have come in handy as it was very painful. These attacks seem to happen very regularly. Like every three or 4 weeks apart. As long as they don't start coming closer together I guess I can stand it for a few more months.
I am still trying to reschedule the CAT scan (which the doctor ordered in the hopes of finding out what is causing the kidney stone attacks). I have phone them and left a message. They then phone you back within "five working days," which seems a pretty low standard of service. Anyway, I've done what I can.
Having encourage Sandra to host the party, I will be done for Sandra's birthday pool party on September 4th. Might stay with you a night or two over that weekend, if it is okay with you. Will need to get Crystal to sign one more piece of paper, as well.
Love,
Rick
Should be, "Having encouraged Sandra to host the party, I will be down for Sandra's birthday poll party on September 4th."
pool party.
Good grief!
It looks like the weather will be cool for the long weekend, but it will be our last time running the pool heater so will be sure to have ti nice and warm.
The kittens are a little subdued with out their moms around. Though, they do become much more affectionate. I have my favorite as I always do. The big grey kitten loves to climb on my lap and will come when called.
No word on any homes for them, normally they would all be spoken for by now, so I just might have one or two, or seven or eight on the long weekend still.
I have to remember to send Lincoln a card for his birthday.
OH, and dont forget to email me the picture of Adena and Riley.

Those attacks are so painful.
Dad certainly knows that.
Getting medical attention is not easy these days.
Will phone to-morrow.
Late looking at my comments.
Dad and I will figure out the picture to-morrow.
Love mom
Nancy I did not pass the eye test so will have to get glasses before I am okay to drive.
