Good morning, afternoon or evening where ever you are in the
world at whatever time you are reading this. The Bloggets I hear from mainly
read my blogs first thing in the morning, possibly to get it over with? Or, on
their work lunch breaks, maybe to make their breaks seem longer? Haha. Who
knows when you read them and why?
As I sit on my favourite chair in our sitting room, near the
window, I write to you with my window open. The sounds are away from the awful
traffic we hear from in our back garden. I hear a rumbling of it but nothing
bad. There are a few grass cutters in the background and an annoying very
distant house or car alarm. A few birds sing to me and the fragrances flow
through the open space of freshly cut grass and the end of the rosebuds which
are showing their last heads for the year. They smell so sweet.
Our back garden is full of crab apples they have blown from
the tree to our dog’s delight. Our front garden has loads of apples on the
ground sadly as they also have blown from our huge apple tree.
I have so much work to do today phone calls and emails, I don’t
know where to start, you know when you just procrastinate? I have done my
housework which included a feather duster. I think my dog thought it was some
kind of new addition to our family pets. If you are blind you may know the
challenges using a feather duster brings along with it? At least if you use a
duster, your hand is on the object. Where as a feather duster? It’s a case of
guess where… firstly, where the heckers is my light fitting hahaha. It’s on the
ceiling somewhere in the centre, where is the centre? As for my stunning very
expensive painting on the wall of our tiger, oh heck, don’t dust the wall Fifi,
try to feel for the thick frame. I know when I have found the ceiling fitting
as my duster makes a different sound. And when I find the painting of the tiger,
my feather duster feels different. It’s a case of remembering where things are
and pure concentration. But to combine those things with a little black Labrador
who just wants to say hello to her new friend?
It will be a very late dinner for Hub tonight more like
supper as he is working a distance away. Then he’s away for a couple of
days.
Last night well, before the sky was covered in its dark
blanket, we were all sitting in the conservatory. Our Son was amused by a
pigeon who hopped over the frames of our glass roof on one leg. Then walked
along the glass then again, hopped over the next section as he looked down at
us from a high. It’s clever how they know it is glass and not open spaces? Mind
you if it was, I guess they would just use their wings?
Did I tell you my Son said our latest decorating was really
nice? Thank goodness. I had a feeling it was, just by the feel of it. At last
we have found a great guy. He is coming out to do Boy Wonders bedroom in a few
weeks.
Oh, it’s sad about the latest Hurricane to
reach the Bahamas. Winds at 225 miles per hour. that is terrifying. If we get
winds of 80 MPH, we are locking things down.
Our New Prime minister has a new puppy and today the pup met
with the resident cat. The cat stays in number 10 Downing Street even when the
old PM leaves they don’t take the cat with them. Sad really, what if the cat
misses that person? I guess as long as they have a full belly and a warm place
to sleep, they will be OK? I just hope
when Boris leaves, he will take his dog? I’m sure he will.
Well it’s Monday. The start of a brand-new week. What a
difference 24 hours can make in people’s life but what about a full week? What has
changed in your, lives in the past week and what will have changed by next
Monday?
The past week for me has seen a dear friend who we regard as
family in hospital. I’m still worried about my lovely Vivi but so far, she
seems to be improving. I have faced more realisations in life. about who cares
and who doesn’t and have heard from two dear girls who mean the world to me. I have
been shocked in someone close to me and I’m excited about my lovely friend who
is about to move house many hours from where she knows so well now but I hope
where she is moving to, will bring so much more than she has where she lives
now. I have also learned a lot about our Son that I didn’t know last week. But in other news I was reading about a guy
who has RP the same eye disease I have and he has been to the top eye hospital
in England where he was told by the specialist to be very excited about the future
for treatment for RP. Normally medics are quite cautious about being positive,
so this is good news.
I hope your week is positive. Better even than last week. I
hope for you some really exciting good news to come your way and just before I go
some final words for now!
“Value yourself and you will feel complete. Happy would lose
it’s meaning if it was not balanced out by sadness. Sadly no one cares if you
are miserable, most times no one knows but you, so do yourself a favour and try
to at least act happy. I believe there
is only one kind of happiness in the world and that is to love and be loved.
So, if you have love, you are very lucky and should be happy. The problem comes
when we don’t have love and we don’t value ourselves. Some would ask if I am
not loved and valued, how can I ever be happy? Wasn’t its Holbrook Jackson who
said happiness is a form of courage…. So, we need to be brave, I guess. Keep moving
forward and believe that one day we will be all happy and sadness will be history.
If you have stayed safely on shore all of your life, you won’t really know what
true happiness is. If you have been out on the deep blue seas in that rickety
old boat, battling through the storms of life, then it’s you, who will really
understand happiness. I guess what I am saying is, we have to live through the
darkness to know what the light is. May be some of us are just fed up of
waiting for that light to come along? One day it will. It has to, right?””
