Stronger
Song by Britney Spears

Ooh hey, yeah
Hush, just stop
There’s nothing you can do or say, baby
I’ve had enough
I’m not your property as from today, baby
You might think that I won’t make it on my own
But now I’m
Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness ain’t killing me no more
I, I’m stronger
Then I ever thought that I could be, baby
I used to go with the flow
Didn’t really care ’bout me
You might think that I can’t take it, but you’re wrong
‘Cause now I’m
Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness ain’t killing me no more
I, I’m stronger
Come on, now
Oh, yeah
Here I go, on my own
I don’t need nobody, better off alone
Here I go, on my own now
I don’t need nobody, not anybody
Here I go, here I go (here I go, here I go, here I go)
Alright
(Here I go, here I go, here I go)
(Here I go) Here I go
Stronger than yesterday
It’s nothing but my way
My loneliness ain’t killing me no more
I, I’m stronger
Than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness ain’t killing me no more
Now I’m stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness ain’t killing me no more (no more)
I, I’m stronger

Hold It Against Me
Song by Britney Spears

Hey, over there
Please, forgive me
If I’m comin’ on too strong
Hate to stare
But, you’re winnin’
And they’re playin’ my favorite song
So, come here
A little closer
Wanna whisper in your ear
Make it clear
A little question
Wanna know just how you feel
If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
‘Cause, you feel like paradise
And I need a vacation tonight
So, if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
Hey, you might think
That I’m crazy
But, you know I’m just your type
I might be
Little hazy
But, you just cannot deny
There’s a spark
In between us
When we’re dancin’ on the floor
I want more
Wanna see it
So, I’m askin’ you tonight
If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
‘Cause, you feel like paradise
And I need a vacation tonight
So, if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
If I said I want your body
Would you hold it against me?
Yeah, uh-huh, oh
Give me somethin’ good
Don’t wanna wait
I want it now
Pop it like a hood
And show me how you work it out
Alright
If I said my heart was beating loud
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow
If I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?
‘Cause, you feel like paradise
And I need a vacation tonight
So, if I said I want your body now
Would you hold it against me?

I think I will be able to get hubby home. The shower already has a seat. What I may do is a shower renovation which means no steps in or out. However, I would rather find a home that has no steps whatsoever with access to the lanai where the sliders open fully. I may be asking too much, but a pool would certainly help with getting the swelling down and hopefully, with the right exercise, get him walking again. I have been looking for a new home for 4 or 5 years now and some of the pricing has come down, well, somewhat. I really do not think either of us are ready for Assisted Living. Though Florida has some beautiful places, this is not an answer for us. As I said earlier, I have a couple of phone calls into our primary physician and the orthopedist. If we can get one knee done, walking will not pose a problem. There are certain blockages that can be used that may not hurt the brain activity. The head nurse is working with me on this, but he needs some answers. There are also lifts that i can use to get hubby in and out of bed. And that I will look into if need be. The reconstructive surgery takes only one hour from start to finish. He will not be walking on that leg for at least 24 hours following surgery. My husband definitely wants the surgery, so will see what I can do on my end. I am crying on the inside, but strong enough to know what I can do to change the situation and give hubby the hope he needs. I think the pool idea will definitely help. I will be looking at alternatives.

@oodiebom,

Correction: depressed is the word I am trying to use. Typo as I sometimes type too fast.

Being Witnessed

A powerful healing tool can be allowing yourself to be witnessed by your friends, sharing your pain to a listening audience.

When we allow ourselves to be witnessed by another, we cannot help but be transformed by the experience. Whether we are sharing a personal experience, standing in front of friends to celebrate a special occasion, or expressing our unbridled joy or sorrow in front of a loved one, we are allowing ourselves to be seen and experienced in a very intimate way. Not only are we baring ourselves to someone else, but we are allowing that person to hold a very specific kind of space with us so this powerful act can take place. To be witnessed is to let ourselves be seen as we truly are in that moment.

Our friends and loved ones can easily be witnesses for us, if only we are brave enough to let them. Your next birthday may be the perfect occasion to experience this sacred act: Invite your friends and loved ones to your special day. During the celebration, stand in front of them and thank them for being there for you. Feel their gratitude, attention, warmth, and support, while noticing the sense of safety you feel as they surround you. If you feel inspired, share your innermost thoughts about the day and your life. You may be surprised at the feelings of peace and validation that arise within you, when you feel safe enough to go deep into your soul and share yourself with those you trust.

Anyone who has ever seen love, admiration, acceptance, or appreciation reflected in a friend or loved one’s eyes knows how transformative that experience can be. When you bare yourself to another, you are giving them the gift of you and showing them that they also matter. In letting yourself be witnessed, you are letting others into your intimate space, stepping in the sacred container they have created for you, and creating a cauldron of positive affirmation, support, love, and goodwill that will stay with you forever. AMEN! 🌹✨

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😘🌹😎Oodie I know how you are feeling
right now. My heart is breaking for you. Oodie you have done everything possible for your
husband. I am glad you have some firm answers. I don’t want your husband to be depress.

I don’t want you to be depress I do hope he keeps his appetite as that is vital to his health.✨

Oodie how are you doing? Please rest when you can and just do what you can do.

I am feeling much better with Covid-19 I took my last round of the medicine today. I am done
with meds. I don’t have much of an appetite but I do know to eat and drink plenty of fluids.

Oodie what can any of the us do for you? Oodie you need hugs and more. 😘💕✨

Be strong dear friend. 🌹

Xango our friend Oodiebom needs are prayers please read her post from yesterday.
I am still in process of working on today’s posts.

I am about to have some hot tea and soup. 💕

@loaf,

Good day in Ohio Loaf wishing you a great Wednesday and I hope all is well in your
family. ✨😘

@oodiebom,

I just saw this and thank god I scroll down to make sure I did not miss anyone.
Oodie I am so sorry this breaks my heart. ✨

I don’t know what to say I would not give up. I have seen wheelchairs and some are very
lightweight and portable. My dad had one and it worked fine.

This is a lot to take in I am trying to wrap my head around this and I know you are too.

Oodie I am making a new post for you but I wanted to respond to you I am so sorry.

I am so glad you visit him often what I would do is have some help to get him in the
house there in Florida. I am sure some neighbors will offer a hand or someone from the
Rehab can offer assistance and bring him home with you driving ahead.

One step at a time. Oodie sending hugs to both you and hubby.

We are here for you Oodiebom. 😘💕🌹
