On a Slow Train to Nowhere

Good afternoon, everyone. I hope everyone is really enjoying this beautiful weather that we are having here in Gastonia, NC.

Not too much has been going on lately. Yesterday, I had my usual therapy session. My life has been on a slow train to nowhere lately, though.

Why? You ask. Ok, I will tell you. Lately, I have felt like a chicken with its head cut off and haven't felt like doing squat or anything. I haven't felt like going anywhere. I haven't felt lik seeing anyone. And I guess that I just haven't cared if anyone came to see me either. Until yesterday.

Here is the part that I can't understand, though. I had my 50-minute session with my therapist, and came out feeling so much better than when I went in. And I guess I had a lot of frustrations to get a handle on since I kept going over in my mind what to talk about before my session.

All in all, I guess I really needed that session. Usually, I never know what I will say to my doctor, but this time was different. I knew a few of my vices that I needed to discuss so that I wouldn't go totally crazy.

Well, to tell you all the truth, most of the time, I don't know what to talk about. I do know that we all need someone as a sounding board or just a shoulder to lean on.

What about you? Are you someone's sounding board or that shoulder for someone to lean on? Put it this way... it can make a world of difference in someone's life. Give your shoulder to someone who could use it.

Ciao for now.

I Saw God Today

Good evening, everyone. I hope that your week has started out decent so far. My week has started out great.

With this being the beginning of a new work week, I hope that you can look around and see God everywhere. I see God when I notice the birds singing; hear the crickets chirping; see the grass, trees, and the flowers; and when I hear nature all around us. That is why I can truly say that I see God everywhere every day. Take the time between your day to day schedule and smell the roses. If you don't take the time to smell them, you probably won't even see them.

Just remember that we may not see God in the form of man, but we see all the things that God has created all around us. Just don't let your daily life get in the way of seeing things for what they truly represent.

I also want to say happy birthday to all of my family and friends who are having birthdays this month. May God be with you all and I hope you have many more birthdays to come.

Ciao for now.

Questions?

Have you ever wondered about the questions that run through your mind?

The other night, I woke up around 2 am and just started writing for the first time in forever. It felt good, but in the long run, it was a short night's sleep. I was able to write a good bit, but then I turned and watched my husband sleep. I watched his breathing from a side view, and that is when the questions came into focus...
How will I deal with the passing of a loved one? How will I handle it and cope? How long does death take to get through? Does the hurt ever go away?  What about the girls?  How will they heal?  When? How?
Will my girls ever find the love like we used to have?  We have had good times and bad times. Doesn't everyone?
What questions do you have that you would like to share?
I Love you, guys.
Ciao for now.

PRAYERS for STRANGERS / PARKINSON'S DISEASE Questions

Good evening, everyone. It has been a long time since I have blogged. I am sorry about that. A lot has been going in my life, though.  First off, I was able to get a new vehicle in July. 
And second, we were able to go on a weekend vacation in September for the first time ever (just us and the kids). 
I have still been doing my job, going to dialysis three times a week, taking care of the house when possible, and still doing a lot of running around. It keeps me busy and tired. So please keep ALL dialysis patients in your prayers. I do. You don't realize that the patients have so much that they have to do, so many medicines that they take, and then so many doctor visits that it is crazy. 
Along with my health, I have to deal with the health of my husband, Richard. He has been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease for about 2 1/2 years now. He has been out of work since December 6, 2016. So, this means that he is home all day, sleeps or watches television, and then repeats this da…
