Thanks for the info. A year and a half ago I found an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist on Cape who also is affiliated with Ma. .General in Boston. He looked at the inside of both ears and asked a million questions and then had me see his Audiologist. After reading the report he wanted an MRI done to see if there were other issues. Everything was free and clear. He recommended hearing aids at that time and suggested Costco because they stand behind their products. As it so happened, Costco was no where near the Cape nor anywhere near my other home so I waited to our return to Florida. I finally went there in November and the Audiologist was more thorough here than the doctor’s office. My hearing was about the same, but he noticed that one of my ear’s has a tendency to distort some words and wanted to know if there was an underlying cause. I now am looking for an Ear, Nose & Throat here. There is one on every street corner along with dentists. I’m letting my fingers do the typing to find one on my own. Really difficult process. Definitely want to use Costco. My insurance also pays for hearing aids. However, when dealing with them, they give you a phone number with no name or other pertinent info. Cannot work that way. Like dealing with a known. Again, t hanks for answering. Seems we are both on the same wave length.

Failure

When the word “failure” comes up, it’s a call for us to apply a more enlightened consciousness to the matter at hand.

The word failure puts forward a very simplistic way of thinking that allows for only two possibilities: failure or success. Few things in the universe are black and white, yet much of our language reads as if they are. The word failure signifies a paradigm in which all subtlety is lost. When we regard something we have done, or ourselves, as a failure, we lose our ability to see the truth, which is no doubt considerably more complex. In addition, we hurt ourselves. All you have to do is speak or read the word failure and see how it makes you feel.

At some point, the word may not have been so loaded with the weight of negativity, and it simply referred to something that did not go according to plan. Unfortunately, in our culture it is often used very negatively, such as when a person is labeled a failure, even though it is impossible for something as vast and subtle as a human being to be reduced in such a way. It also acts as a deterrent, scaring us from taking risks for fear of failure. It has somehow come to represent the worst possible outcome. Failure is a word so burdened with fearful and unconscious energy that we can all benefit from consciously examining our use of it, because the language we use influences the way we think and feel.

Next time you feel like a failure or fear failure, know that you are under the influence of an outmoded way of perceiving the world. When the word failure comes up, it’s a call for us to apply a more enlightened consciousness to the matter at hand. When you are consciously aware of the word and its baggage you will not fall victim to its darkness. In your own use of language, you may choose to stop using the word failure altogether. This might encourage you to articulate more clearly the truth of the situation, opening your mind to subtleties and possibilities the word failure would never have allowed. 😎

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the burgh. 😘💕🌹I hope you and hubby are doing well.

I did read your post from last evening. I know you are taking baby steps with your
husband. I do wish him the best. I know you are thankful your sister is there. 😘💕
How is your mother doing I know she is ready to go somewhere. 🤣

The snow is melting in spots and Poppy is having a good time playing in the snow.
When I walk him I have a leash on him we do have slick spots so I walk very carefully.
The last thing I need is a trip to the hospital.

I too am also concerned about Oodiebom. I wish I could be there to help her along
the way.

You enjoy your day and sending get well wishes to your husband. 🌹

Do you still have your bird feeder out? I am sure the birds
are hungry. 💕😎

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California. 😘😎💕Taci are you very new at playing the games?
I am still a newbie as I have almost three million Lifetime tickets and over 2 million
current tickets. When I came back to HSN years ago I did not know how to play the
games. I started out with something fun and I went from there. I will never make it
on a leader board. 🤣I just play for fun.

What are you reading? I am about to start on Eleanor Roosevelt my neighbor gave
me a bunch of great books to read when he moved to Palm Springs, California
last year. We speak once a week. Neighbor told me in Palm Springs the large Mansions
are empty because the owners all live in Canada and cannot get to California.
The owners have people who look out for their homes. I thought it was interesting.

Taci I hope you can get out and enjoy the day with a hike. I hiked Mr. Poppy down the
street. 🤣 I hope your mother is doing well and will be home soon. 🌹

If you see this fellow during your hike just smile. 😎
