HUMAN

What are the rules for being human?

You receive a body.

You have lessons to be learned

in this school called life.

There are no mistakes only lessons.

A lesson is repeated until learned.

Learning lessons never ends.

Here is where you are meant to be.

Others are only mrrors of yourself.

What you make of your life is up tp you.

Your answers lie within you.

-Carter Smith

Today I walked Spenser.

Dad and I went to Shoppers.

Carol brought supper over.

Baked fish and baked potatoes and salad.

We watched one documentary on T.V.

Fell asleep watching.

Off to bed!

Dad had a good day.

Dad had a good visit at the Lab.

/Dad talked to Ken.

 

FEELINGS

                                                                   Spenser loved it.

He wanted to sniff every tree.

We all enjoyed the walk in the fresh air

Lots of tree branched have fallen down.

We met lots of other dog walkers.

And lots of kids riding bikes.

Dad's feet were a little sore today.  He fixed a new handle for me to grab as we come in from the garage.

I did a little cleaning up in the back yard and took Spenser for his two walks.  We really do love our little guy.

The park was a mass of fallen and tangled branches.  I think that is like my feelings some times.  Some of my feelings make me feel uncomfortable.  I also know that trying to feel how others are feeling is so important.

Instead of how are you today? How do you feel today?  I think I am feeling sad but I know that everything will work out in time.

Dad had another good day and night .   I feel so happy for him/

We had pizza for supper and watched the news.  We are all going to bed before 8.  

We hope Rick continues to improve.  His work takes a lot out of him.  He wants to be able to head home but that will not be for a month or so.  It is good that he helped us so very much when he arived and it is good we can help him to recover.

I find it very hard to write as I am a little confused and tired.

IMPERFECT

We are all imperfect.

I am finding it hard to think

and the computer is not doing what I think it should.

Imperfection is the basic reality of being human.

Life sometimes asks more of us than we can achieve.

Taking tome to be aware of how others feel is so important.

I feel a little unsure of myself and I know the bladder infection is a part of that.

We appreciate  all the family is doing to support us and encourage us. 

Change does not happen over night.

Dad and  enjoyed having supper with Carol and Panteli.  Lots of good veggies.

Dad's driving was perfect and he had a good day and a good night last night.

 

SOMETHING GOOD,

                                              I love children's books.  A child goes shopping with their dad and all he is buying is healthy food.  If they had a choice they would buy ice cream, chips and dip and cakes and cookies.  Sounds like dad's shopping list.

Dad was up very early and made bacon and eggs for breakfast. Something good.  

I was not happy when he bought the bacon.  He continues to sleep all night which is something good.
 

I was thankful the wind was gentle, on our early  walk, as I was feeling wobbly.  The sun was shining so that too was good.

Rick walked over to pick up my prescription and some food for supper.  He also cooked it too.  That was something very good!

The Canucks won their hockey game,  We were all cheering them on.  Something good!

Dad was pretty good.  Too bad his feet are so painful.

Spenser is eating again and seems to be okay.  He gets a trim on Monday.

Just finished watching Heartbeat,  It is something good we look forward to.

"Life should be celebrated everyday!"  Loretta LaRoche.

Good memories!

RELAXED

 Very very windy in the morning.  We started walking into the wind and it was a struggle.  Then the wind pushed us from behind and boy was it pushing us.  At one point I stopped to hang on to a pole.

It was sure good to get home and relax for a while.  Evidently some people feel guilty when they relax but I am happy to rest and to read,

Along with moderation, laughter, creativity and responsibility a little rest and relaxation is good.  

It was good of Sandra and Randy to deliver Rick's car and now it is parked right in front of our house again.

I am now starting some more antibiotic to get rid of this bladder infection.  I am trying to drink more water,  I was sure I was all better and that had made me feel better.  Now I know I am not better I feel worse again.

I believe we were meant to enjoy life even when we feel out of sorts.

Dad has had a good day with no rushing to the bathroom.  I hope he has a good night too.

HELPERS

Many people were helpful to me today,

Rick was very helpful creating the chicken rice dinner.

I started cooking the rice and the chicken

and Rick finished the end product.

When we arrived at the store I was trying to get out of my door in a hurry

especially as a man was waiting to get into his car,

Instead of getting annoyed with me he came and helped me out.

In the store I dropped several items I was carrying and a young boy helped me pick them up.

I found a book about Healing Food at my book place.

I know it will be a good help for dad and I to plan his meals.

I was packing our groceries  into our bag

and as soon as the girl said I was doing a good job I messed up.

She ended up helping me.

Supper turned out great.

Rick also went to the Safeway to get some things to make a salad.

Dad even ate some with his favorite dressing.

I am trying to be more accepting of the things that happen in my day.

Each moment a blessing in different ways.
 

 

BEGINNING

                                              Beginning the day walking around the bright flowers at the Safeway.

                                             Meeting a friend from Colebrook was a happy moment too.

                                            I went to buy the chicken and rice for supper.  Plans changed when Carol and Panteli brought over salmon and noodles and vegetables.  We all enjoyed every bite.  Chicken will be on the menu for today.

I seemed to be running late all day.  Late taking Spenser for his first walk and late for supper.

I like to hope that life loves to surprise us in many different ways.  

I am trying to be more aware of my feelings.  What is really troubling me?  "Embracing the  uncomfortable and the crankiness."  Wisdom from Sandra.

Rick walked over to the Post Office with his walker.  A big step forward.

Dad's has been making a few extra trips to the bathroom today.  We really have to watch his diet.

I am praying for wisdom to make better choices.  We will work on this together.
