I find myself becoming quieter and more withdrawn. The ones I love have become more critical and I will use those words against me in the worst ways. 'Friends' can be walked away from but family is with us daily. It's hard to comprehend.
I know that things are different and I know I don't do well in crowds but how do I make others understand that? Those who don't see me often?
My knitting does not criticize me :) I'm currently working on a blanket for Cam and that is lovely. I am also using time daily to search out grants for our company and work on them. Gives me some brain work, and that's good!! Sunny days are amazing too. Outside in the gardens and getting veggies going. Hands in dirt, love it!!!! Must go outside and fertilize the garlic :)
Love

My dear and brave warrior friend, You are inspiration, that is all that comes to my mind while connecting with your beautiful soul. What is right for them is wrong for others. what is you for family is all but that for others. You keep smiling while your unicycle rides the path of your awesomeness, keep saying the words, at the end, you are only responsible for what you say and not for what we do interpret, and interpretation comes with self experiences and meanings learned along our lives. Analogically, your knitting is what your self consciousness is telling you about "words", is all good within yourself, and that is all what matters, at least this is what I think darling, you have been, you are and you will always be an awesome lady. Love, light and wisdom to you and your beloved family! Antonio
ReplyDeleteI know it's a very different comparison, but when I'm old and losing the plot (different comparison, remember!), I hope I'll handle it as well as my Dad does with his terrible memory. Do you remember him going to pick you up at the station but not remembering who he was there to pick up?! He always manages to stay positive, and smile at himself. I don't suppose I'll manage it so well, I'm just hoping I remember to try at least! Wishing you lots of sunny days to enjoy, and healthy garlic.
ReplyDeletePS Do you like dancing? I was reading the other day that it's the best thing to help ward off dementia - all to do with the brain thinking sequentially of steps to come. and coordinating with body parts, and the music too, just good all round basically. Do you think it might be any good trying to help brains recover from trauma too?
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog, especially because I can hear your voice as I read (I mean, metaphorically, not literally. That'd be weird). Keep blogging, I love the updates! Good news or whatever news, I'm happy to be a bit more " in the loop." Miss you xo
ReplyDeleteWell Diane, I read your blog for selfish reasons. There.... I said it!
ReplyDeleteI read it because I hear your voice and it reminds me of conversations between you and my sister. In some strange way it keeps her close to me. So keep writing! Pretty Please!
