Only those who have lived with a long term illness, know that you don’t want to be remembered as being sick. Sickness makes you a lousy friend, terrible daughter, horrible sister and a lousy wife. You want to be known for being vibrant, energized and happy. In my case, it’s not my children or career that I want to be known for. (I have neither.)
Instead, I’d like to be known for being kind. It might even be too late for that.
Do you live by a motto or creed? Do you have a personal rule that governs your life?
Personally, I try to live by kindness. If there’s an opportunity to be nice or do something kind, I take it. From complimenting strangers to buying coffee to the next person in line.
Saturday July 30th. Jim and I are spending the weekend at Kym and Kristen’s house. Their house is beautiful and the puppies adorable.
Mom, Dad, Kym & Kristen, Kristi, Guy, Addie and Sammie, My light and I went to the Hudson River.
Dad, Guy and myself went fishing. I fished off the docks and I got the most bites! I used a grey and black rubber fish with a white tail. The girls went paddle boarding, mom stayed back on the bench and watched.
Mom then went looking for water chestnuts! How cool is that? All of us have our issues, but it’s our issues that make us who we are and I like us.
I have such a neat family. It’s days like this that I wish would never end. A blue sky with a few poofy clouds, slight breeze and about 86 degrees.
I want to remember days like this. So that even if I forget today happened, my words will be a happy reminder.
My memories are haunting and I wish it wasn’t so, but February has always been about valentines day.
Remember- “Demons can charm you for awhile…”
Each day turns into the next, there’s no warning there’s no change. Days slip into the next. Blurred or my vision is cloudy.
People stopped paying attention and the days blur. It used to be I had something to look forward too.
I can’t eat, I can’t walk, no one talks to me
It’s a blur
