Glad to hear from you. Please remember you both are on my mind and in my heart.🤗💗🌹

@oodiebom,

It would be lovely to see you in Trivia at least you can relax and not worry. I think your
husband comes first and if you can squeeze Trivia in worry about it then.

The Uber should come when you want it to you can arrange an advance pick up.

I am so glad you posted because all of us were very concerned about the both of
you. 😘🌹

Oodie stay cool and stay safe thank you for posting now I can get some rest.

This is not the game of the week Flip Out is. 😜

Oodie do check back in. 💕 Be well dear friend. 😘

Hi all. Hubby was transferred to rehab. He will be there until the 4th. He is now able to walk, tho with tons of pain in knees. We had a real go yesterday when he needed to use the facilities in his room. He almost got off the bed by himself. I never realized how strong I was against him. He has to wait for the nurses, which seems like a year when you need it. He is eating Ok,, though he hates the food. I ate with him last night. My meal was delicious. I am beginning to think that he has trouble reading. He had a cheese sandwich for dinner. I had bbq chicken. I think he can more walk. Words are an issue. But they will be working on this and when we return to Florida. The ride North is out of the question at this time. When we are able to drive to Florida, the therapy will continue. Not sure if it will be as an out patient. Time will tell..however, may say yes to a home health aide, though I feel he would want to shop at the Farmer’s Market. Me, I am doing ok. Just tired. And now with a fun in with Uber it does not help with the situation. Will try to get a ride. Was supposed to have lunch with hubby, but missed it . Hope to be there long before dinner. Also not sure about trivia. That will depend upon Uber and whether I can find a way out of this predictament.

@defg,

Right you are about the moon and I will bask in the moon tonight. This is my time. 😘😎
You just had a birthday I hope it was a good one. 🌹

Relying on Others

A deep feeling of gratitude can emerge, as we open to the experience of being helped.

Most of us pride ourselves on our self-sufficiency. We like to be responsible for taking care of ourselves and pulling our own weight in the world. This is why it can be so challenging when we find ourselves in a situation in which we have to rely on someone else. This can happen as the result of an illness or an injury, or even in the case of a positive change, such as the arrival of a newborn. At times like these, it is essential that we let go of our feeling that we should be able to do it all by ourselves and accept the help of others.

The first step is accepting the situation fully as it is. Too often we make things worse either by trying to do more than we should or by lapsing into feelings of uselessness. In both cases we run the risk of actually prolonging our dependency. In addition, we miss a valuable opportunity to practice acceptance and humility. The ego resists what is, so when we move into acceptance we move into the deeper realm of the soul. In needing others and allowing them to help us, we experience the full realization that we are not on our own in the world. While this may bring up feelings of vulnerability, a deep feeling of gratitude may also emerge as we open to the experience of being helped. This realization can enable us to be wiser in our service of others when we are called upon to help.

It takes wisdom and strength to surrender to our own helplessness and to accept that we, just like every other human being, have limitations. The gifts of surrender are numerous. We discover humility, gratitude, and a deepening understanding of the human experience that enables us to be that much more compassionate and surrendered in the world. 🌹😎😎

TGIF, Sheba!! I set my alarm to check out Trivia this evening. I hope things have improved greatly by then! Full Moon soon..🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌙🌚🌛🌜 P.S. I’m a Gemini.😉

@taci,

Good Morning in S Cali as you can see I am having a little fun with Leo. 😎
Also Taci I am remembering my father as he passed three days after my birthday
which I know you know. I don’t know how to feel this is the first family member
I have lost. I lost many close relatives and friends and each one hurt deeply but this
cut is the deepest.

I often sat on my patio under a large patio umbrella and when the time is right my father
will fly around as he is a butterfly he is always near me when I am thinking of him. 😘😎

We all grieve different I am sure you are thinking of your mother. 💕🌹

We are all worried about Oodiebom I just want to say enjoy the trails. 😎😘

Taci just jump in. 🤣😘

@oodiebom,

is right for her. 🌹 As I said Oodie is a remarkable woman and who knows what is
going on believe when she is ready to talk she will. 😎

I’ve known Oodie for a few years now I just want both her and hubby to be safe
and home in the North. 🌹

If you are wondering about all the Leo info I am a Leo and so are several people on this
thread so for the past seven years I go all Leo during the season. 🤣 I lost my beloved
father last year just three days after my birthday and I beat breast cancer. This is a tender
time for me right now.

Trivia is tonight.

@loaf,

Good morning in the rock and roll Capital it’s a tender season for me. I hope all is well
in your neck of the woods. Loaf drop a line if you can. 😘😎Love ya. 🌹

Keeping it cool. 🤣
