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.🙏💖

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.

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!😄

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. 🌹😘
