@sheba2011, I hope you have a great day, its evening and I just sat down. There were lots to do, but I just did a little at a time. And now all finished, and I have two hot dogs and some potatoes in the oven for my dinner. Had zoom meetings, received alot of groceries, had to wipe down everything with bleach water. Wash all vegetables and fruits before putting them away. I changed the beds, placed it the wash. Tomorrow I will finish the rest of things. Pleasant dreamsto you Sheba.

Peace Out Peeps! Have a safe and nice evening. 😘💕

Paradise
Song by Sade

I’d wash the sand off the shore
Give you the world if it was mine
Blow you right to my door
Feels fine
Feels like
You’re mine
Feels right
So fine
I’m yours
You’re mine
Like paradise
I’d give you the world if it was mine
Feels fine
I’d wash the sand off the shore
Give you the world if it was mine
Blow you right to my door
Feels fine
Feels like
You’re mine
Feels right
So fine
I’m yours
You’re mine
Like paradise
Oooh what a life
Oooh what a life
Oooh what a life
Oooh what a life
I wanna share my life
Wanna share my life with you
Wanna share my life
Oooh what a life
Like paradise

@oodiebom, Good Evening to you, I hope you had a successful day with your husband. I left you a post yesterday a few pages down. Looks like you have things planned for the trip down. If the rehab doesn’t provide a knee brace for your husband, Amazon has them. Be safe, take care of yourself.

Quiet Storm
Song by Smokey Robinson

Soft and warm a quiet storm
Quiet as when flowers talk at break of dawn,
Break of dawn
A power source of tender force generating, radiating
Turn me on
Turn them on
You short-circuit all my nerves
Promising electric things
You touch me and suddenly there’s rainbow rings
Quiet storm, blowing through my life
Quiet storm, blowing through my life
Oh, blow baby
Windy sigh, weaken my
Butterfly caught up in a hurricane,
Hurricane
Lucky me, I’m better free
Suddenly I’m caught up in your somber rain
Shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop
Through all the seasons let it pour and never stop
Quiet storm, blowing through my life
Quiet storm, blowing through my life
Through my life
Through my life
Through my life
Blow baby
Blow baby
Blow baby
Shower me with your sweet love
Your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop
Through all the seasons let it pour and never stop
Quiet storm, blowing through my life
Quiet storm, blowing through my life
Through my life
Through my life
Blow baby
Blow baby
Through my life
Blow baby
Blow baby
Quiet storm, blowing through my life
Blowing through my life
Blow baby
Blow baby
Turn me on
Blow baby
Blow baby

You’re No Good
Song by Linda Ronstadt

Feelin’ better now that we’re through
Feelin’ better, ’cause I’m over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I broke a heart that’s gentle and true
Well, I broke a heart over someone like you
I’ll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
I wouldn’t blame him if he said to me
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I’m tellin’ you now, baby
And I’m going my way
Forget about you, baby
‘Cause I’m leavin’ to stay
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
I’m gonna say it again
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
Oh, oh, no
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good, oh
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good, oh
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good, whoa
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Maybe you’re good

The Foundations
“Build Me Up Buttercup”

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin’
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don’t break my heart

“I’ll be over at ten”, you told me time and again
But you’re late, I wait around and then (bah-dah-dah)
I went to the door, I can’t take any more
It’s not you, you let me down again

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I’ll make you happy
(Hey, hey, hey!) I’ll be home
I’ll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

To you I’m a toy, but I could be the boy you adore
If you’d just let me know (bah-dah-dah)
Although you’re untrue, I’m attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I’ll make you happy

@oodiebom,

Oh I wish you had a relative that could help you as you have your hands full.
If you get a good team to help with hubby then his recovery will be so much
faster and easier. You cannot lift and do all the work required.

Oodie this is how my dad started and Step-Mom had a nurse and PT everyday she
did not have a lot to do they even did the laundry which was a big help. I would come
and I ate lunch and did this thread with my dad. I miss those days. 💕

One day at a time is right you can make it in the Van just take your time. Oodie don’t
worry about Trivia it will get stated of course I will be there for support and I know FBN135
will be there and all who show up week after week. 😎

Relax now and get some rest I know you need it Oodie now is the time to ask all questions
when you see the Physician. I know this has not been easy for you this is not what I expected
when you started for the North. I am glad medical help was sought and not too far from
your home on the Gulf Coast. If you need to get to the North after he is on his feet I would
fly. 😘😎💕

Here is some Ice Tea with Manuka Honey please enjoy. Oodie this too shall pass. 😘🌹

@shoelady60,

OMG! Your post was hilarious if you land on my lawn I’ll make it worth the trip. 😜
First are you a good witch or a bad witch ah it does not matter. 😘😎💕

I hope your weather is not that bad as trees and debris are everywhere.
Glad you will have some cooler weather OZ should have cooler temps next week. 😎

I think this is the only thing that should shake you. 😜😎

Thanks for being a good sports and keep that sense of humor I needed so much.
Hubby had no clue why I was laughing so hard. 🤣😘I hope you and sister with mom
can have a nice day together. 😘😎

Club Sheba

@oodiebom

Oodie, I look forward every single day to hear from you and how you and Mr. Oodie are doing. Sounds like you have a good plan. Just take your time on the drive home, you can do it!!! The spoonbill, rainbows and butterflies will be following you to the safety of your home.🌈🦋 I’m just thrilled your husband is making progress. One step at a time, one day at a time.🙏💖

@shoelady60

I really enjoy your posts. The smile today is because of your flight to Sheba’s lawn.I I hope and pray you do not get anything so intense as a tornado.

Both of us are doing ok. Hubby is reading the paper and I am beside his bed. The queen’s throne is gone so now I am left with a straight back chair. I can now put my feet up on the bed posts. We will leave here on the 4th and I will be driving the huge van for the first time. That should be fun. It looks like we will probably leave Georgia on the 5th and arrive home the next day. He is asking Asian takeout. There is a good one two miles from touchdown. Just hope there is enough room. He has a lot of baggage. ( walker, wheelchair, dirty laundry). Since he doesn’t like the towels we will let those remain.

Hope your mom is feeling better. Soup and Manuka honey are helpful.

@sheba2011

Sitting here waiting for the severe thunderstorms bringing the cold front in. They are calling for wind, hail, thunder, lightning and tornados.⛈🌪 I wish we didn’t have to go through all this just to have nice weather, geez. I hope I have power this evening.

You are right, sis is a blessing.😇 I don’t know what I would do without her help. It’s not easy taking care of two households when she’s not here. It usually puts me down for the count.

Not much else happening in the ‘burgh today. Sure hope you get some relief from the heat.🔥 Making sandwiches for dinner in case the power is out. Our high winds will be blowing hugs to you and Poppy. We may have Wizard of Oz weather and I’ll end up on your lawn, lol!😄

@sheba2011

I am sitting next to hubby while he takes a catnap. Tv is On mute. He had physical therapy this morning which did not go well because of severe knee pain. He had a visit from the rehab physician this morning. My complaint is why they don’t make a visit during visiting hours to update the family member or members. Visiting hours are from 11am-7pm. To think that next week at this time we will be on our return to Florida. Yeah…😀 😄😄😄

For the most part I am ok. I have a steady driver from Lyf t which makes my day easier to get through. I have 2 meals per day with hubby which definitely helps with the recovery process. There are many patients here who have not seen one visitor. This really makes me sad. So important to build morale etc..

Hubby will definitely need a bed rail. I found one and need to know if it is covered by health insurance. Guess that means a meeting tomorrow with his case manager. He also will need a home health aide while I get the house in order. A physical therapist and a visiting nurse as well.
So many people and so.little time to get the house in order. I will be contacting the plumber and the electrician for either a week from Saturday or for sometime during the week. After that I will breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Tomorrow night is Trivia. Someone will need to start. I will send another note to the MODS. My last one is in the Arcade. Take care of those sinuses. Try to stay cool.

Releasing Guilt

Dwelling in guilt is like living your life with an anchor tied to your ankles, dragging you down.

Learning to accept the things that we perceive as wrong can be a difficult task for many of us. Often we have been brought up to accept that it is normal to feel guilty about our actions and that by doing so we will make everything seem alright within ourselves. Even though we might feel that we have a reason to make up for the choices we have made, it is much more important for us to learn how to deal with them in a healthy and positive way, such as through forgiveness and understanding.

When we can look back at our past and really assess what has happened, we begin to realize that there are many dimensions to our actions. While feeling guilty might assuage our feelings at first, it is really only a short-term solution. It is all too ironic that being hard on ourselves is the easy way out. If we truly are able to gaze upon our lives through the lens of compassion, however, we will be able to see that there is much more to what we do and have done than we realize. Perhaps we were simply trying to protect ourselves or others and did the best we could at the time, or maybe we thought we had no other recourse and chose a solution in the heat of the moment. Once we can understand that dwelling in our negative feelings will only make us feel worse, we will come to recognize that it is really only through forgiving ourselves that we can transform our feelings and truly heal any resentment we have about our past.

Giving ourselves permission to feel at peace with our past actions is one of the most positive steps we can take toward living a life free from regrets, disappointments, and guilt. The more we are able to remind ourselves that the true path to a peaceful mind and heart is through acceptance of every part of our lives and actions, the more harmony and inner joy we will experience in all aspects of our lives. 🌹😘
