Good day Bloggets. Today I am babysitting. Don’t ask…. So
late at writing. I have spent most of the night online trying to order my Son a
birthday card. Sadly now he is going to have to receive one that doesn’t say
Son just a one from our grocery shopping, again, don’t ask, a frustrating time!
I expect he will be
in in a few hours fed and out then one day left before his celebrations begin.
He is out with friends tomorrow night, Thursday with us but having lunch with a
couple of friends, then after we have the pleasure of his company, Friday he is
out again and bringing a friend home for the night then Saturday going out for
once a fun thing to do other than drinking. Thank goodness he has five of his
friends out of about forty who have said yes to fun and torn themselves away
from alcohol there were a couple more but can’t take time off work.
Today is windy and dull here. Not too cold though. I really
don’t know what to make for dinner tonight. It’s an odd day. Hub left for work
this morning at ten to eight. What a nightmare of a journey he had? From door
to door it took him four hours. A
colleague is driving him back to Peterborough then she is leaving him at the
train station then he gets a train home will be in for half seven then back to
Peterborough tomorrow again. So much travelling he does in a week.
The little fella last night was so cute. He does this thing
where he puts his head on your knee, as he did with Hub yesterday. Just to
explain for any new Bloggets, LF is Hubs guide dog. I don’t want you to think
that we have a little man who comes and gives us cuddles.
Anyway he puts his head on then his chest sideways so his
back is on the ground and he is twisted. He can stay like that for ages just to
get hugs. Then his long lengthy legs lift and before you know it, only two legs
are on the floor but his whole body is sideways across your knees. Well last
night before Hub could say Jack Robinson, the full long legged lovely blonde
was sitting on hub, and no, hub wasn’t dreaming. Hahahaheheheha.
Well, Hub was trying to tell LF off to get off when he
couldn’t speak for laughing. I mean he’s not exactly small our LF. And it was
the way he looked down on the floor to Waggatail as if to say. “He’s my, Dad. I’m
here little squirt.”
Needless to say, we got the little fella down. But it did
look so funny he is the most affectionate dog, all he wants is so much love.
And he gets it.
I can’t look out of my windows though I’m glad I have them. I
don’t really like leaving them open in the summer to be honest, as a blind
person you never know who may try to get in, so in a way, they are forever
closed, for sound and sight, this is why I like to sit out in the summer, but
our back garden is now driving Hub crazy and me too. He wants to move house,
but I don’t as I have a lovely group of friends here, OK I see them about once
every six weeks, but I know if I really need something and to be honest, I
really would have to need it it would almost be like life or death situation, I
know I could ask them.
I wish I wasn’t like
that, then I would be out more but I take after my Mum and she was the same she
was a giver rather than a taker. I regard asking for help as taking and a
weakness. I loved it when my brother in
law used to come as we were so comfortable with each other I didn’t feel bad
about asking him for help, and if I didn’t only ask once a year, I would be convinced that is why
he moved to Australia. Smile.
So through my closed window I hear as I sit at my desk, the
outside world. Lots of trucks going by, birds singing and the odd footstep. Dogs
barking and the forgotten recycle bin tapping along the ground probably ours
from some weeks ago we lost one. Busses pass the side road and wind howls like
a roaring ocean.
I wait for spring to show its beautiful signs. Right now it’s
a dull early winter like day but I’m told spring is on its way. So today I don’t
feel any warm sun on my face or know that there are flower buds pushing their
way through the ground or little leaves decorating the limbs of trees, I in my
mind have to have one foot on the lush grass of spring, waiting in anticipation
for spring coming alive.
We have to have hope, as without hope what is the purpose?
We can hope for a miracle, waiting for healing for example, or just waiting for
some news, we all wait with hope.
Whilst many of us are experiencing winter seasons of life,
one thing we have in common is hope. As you old Bloggets will know I make our
family sit around the table for meals. I think this is one important value of
life and that is one of the only things that I have insisted of Teen and even
Hub to some extent. He would happily have dinner alone rather than wait for all
of us to get together. It isn’t happening in my kitchen. It’s a time for family
values to be set and to have conversations time without the tech like IPods and
IPhones. Sadly I fear all of our kids have growths and those growths are some
form of IPod IPhone or whatever.
Though we do talk. And with all of our kids the conversation
can get quite heated with different opinions. The other night Teen and Hub
spoke of science. Gosh, I was lost. I just observed. I couldn’t believe how
well informed my Son is with regards such subjects. And last night we spoke of
a God. The brain too. I felt so in touch with my spiritual side and wish at
times I could reunite myself with the days when I used to visit our spiritual
church with my friend Elaine from where I used to live.
It was a lovely church but again sadly there were some
bitter people who just had to spoil things and the church fell apart. Some
people regarded us as devil worshippers. No, we were very good people who
wanted peace and love and were open minded enough to look outside of the box.
To see what is real, rather than what is written in an ancient book.
We spoke last night about the bible. How the bible predicted
certain situations.
Our cosy chat ended and a seed had been planted in my Sons
mind. This seed I hope will grow and blossom.
Once again thank you for your emails I really look forward
to reading them. And I will answer within the next couple of days.
Before I go
I wish today for your life to witness laughter, love and
light.
