Continuing to move FORWARD! The rheumatologist is holding off on the cordisone shots till eye pressure comes down. Starting me on a mild medication for rheumatoid arthritis. Holding off on biopsy. Soooooo, today I took my car in. Waiting to see what damage $$$$$$ that will cost me. Always something isn't it? I was getting a ride back home so I was told to go to the gray car. I opened the door and the guy says "No sweetheart, not this car!!!!!" We both laughed and I went searching for the guy and car that was taking me home.

I hope someone finds "Ashley Judd: Grief, Love and Naomi" - Anderson Cooper Podcast helpful; it is for me...
decades of mourning feel lifted, and I am not of any religion any longer so those are not the reasons. Her struggle and her recognition of how to recognize and deal with loss trauma was what I identified with.

HOW ARE YOU? ๐ค
๐๐ HEADING BACK TO FLORIDA as soon as CVS opens up. Need to pick up my 90-day Chlolestral refill.
41 degrees here in Cave Spring, Virginia with a Wind Advisory. So "feels" like 34 degrees.
72 degrees and cloudy in Melbourne, Florida.
ANXIOUS to check on my only child (daughter, Florida) as now she is dealing with MAJOR back pain and NOT calling doctor. Now to HOPE it is NOT anything serious. They are OUR "babies" to the day we die. Lol, stubborn like me... ๐๐คฃ
IF anyone in our group is in the area that is having Weather Issues, please be SAFE!!!

I hope that your daughter will go to the doctors. I agree they are always our "babies" and we will always worry about them and they seem to listen to us LESS as they become older. ๐Monday would have been my son's birthday so I plan to have my other son take me there to put flowers on his grave. I am STILL waiting for my husband's grave stone to be installed. I did not realize that it took months to have this done. Nicole, I worry about your traveling back and forth to VA. How much longer will you have to do that? However, I am happy that you ran into an old friend there and are taking care of your health. Luv you. โค๏ธ Sorry if my response is sporadic. I read through the text that I miss and respond. Not sure if I am doing it right.

Thank You for thinking of me. It was a somber day; one that I just kept to myself. My grandson told me that they ordered my son's grave stone which made me happy. I am continuing the doctor's appointments, taking the car in for repair and packing. Hopefully I will be able to put my house on the market soon.

I have always been patient and kind to those that have offended me. I give them many, many chances and "forgive" often. However, I have found that there are individuals that take my kindness as a weakness and take advantage of that. I get to a point where I feel that I do not need or want this person in my life and end the relationship. At that point I am DONE with them and eliminate them from my life. Life is too short to deal with those that only intend to hurt you and truly do not care about you.

Yes Cadee @Cadee2719 , being kind and forgiving are both wonderful characteristics to have and employ. Recognizing when you are being taken advantage of and hurt by uncaring, abusive, or toxic people is definitely essential. Part of self-care is eliminating things from our lives that detract from rather than enhance our quality of life.

Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy ,
What you are saying is important. I think it is easy to resist and avoid having meaningful relationships with people following a significant loss. The pain of that loss is so devastating and your mind can trick you into thinking if I just avoid having relationships with depth that I can escape from experiencing this pain of grief. In essence you deprive yourself of the love and joy that is received and given in reciprocal, meaningful relationships with others. Appreciate it, Live it, Embrace it, Love it!

Lol Marcy @MarcyW882921 , hmmm - that WORD love!!!
Still fighting against it and ONLY my only child (daughter) has that.
At age 65, I am beat up and drained and trying to be KIND to "healthy" humans. Furbabies ๐๐๐ถ ALWAYS have it. They give us humans SO MUCH with NO drama and games.
I guess figuring out HOW to "avoid" TOXIC humans is the thing to do. Too OLD to be picking my face up off the floor every time one enters my life/lol ๐๐คฃ
So, TAKING MY TIME and letting "humans" ENTER when it feels "healthy" for me... ๐๐๐
I do MISS Barbara and Itty Bitty ๐ถ๐.
Thanks for stopping by ๐๐๐

Your daughter, fur babies, and us (whether you like it or not) are a good beginning! Keep plugging away in your own time. There's no rush.

Good wintery afternoon, I hope your holidays went well and also that 2024 is going to be a brighter year for each of you. I want to encourage you all to seek friends and really extend yourselves this year. I think its really important for us to move forward and continue living the life we deserve. This does mean take a few chances, get out of our comfort zones and see the good and grace in others. For me, when I was ready, I started dating again. It was strange at first but that went away eventually. Life is better with others so see if you can find yours in 2024. I'm betting you can and will.
Take care, Bill in VA....

HOW ARE YOU? ๐ค
Walmart and drop off fecal sample at doctor's office today.
Need to call to "schedule" mammogram (lol, forgot until just now). Hate them and told my NEW doctor (Medicare as of last week) - I am NOT "cutting off anything or losing my hair" IF they find cancer.
Yikes, NEVER thought I would hit my GAS PEDAL to continue MOVING FORWARD. ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ
It was like EVERYTHING "blew" up and I spent way too much time "feeling" sorry for myself. Listened to an AWESOME LAW OF ATTRACTION upload on YouTube LAST NIGHT. I am back in biz... ๐๐๐ Watch out folks, I "is" hitting that PEDAL real hard = speeding ticket..... ๐๐คฃ

YOU are a survivor and can accomplish anything you set your mind to. You always "overcome" no matter what the circumstances are. Luv you for it. Glad that you are going to the doctors for check ups. I did the same and am dealing with the issues that need to be resolved. Tomorrow I have the cataract/glaucoma surgery (check one thing off the list). Lets hope that 2024 is a year of taking care of ourselves and becoming stronger each day, able to face the challenges ahead. Your continued sense of humor certainly helps me.โค๏ธ
