@shoelady60,

Happy Birthday tomorrow to both your mother and to my beloved father in heaven.
Daddy passed away just three years ago and not a day goes by that I don’t miss him.
I was the last family member to see him and I was dressed in PP Gear because it was
during covid-19. I was willing to risk it all just to see him one last time in Hospice. 😘🌹💕

Enjoy your mother tomorrow and your sister. 🌹💕

I miss you daddy. ✨💕

4 my father in heaven whose birthday is almost here. 💕🌹Love you Daddy.

Papa, Can You Hear Me?
Song by Barbra Streisand

God – our heavenly Father
Oh God – and my father
Who is also in heaven
May the light
Of this flickering candle
Illuminates the night the way
Your spirit illuminates my soul
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa, can you find me in the night?
Papa, are you near me?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you help me not be
Frightened?
Looking at the skies
I seem to see a million eyes
Which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yersterday
Has waved goodbye
And closed its doors?
The night is so much darker.
The wind is so much colder
The world I see is so much bigger
Now that I’m alone
Papa, please forgive me
Try to understand me
Papa, don’t you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying
Anything I’m saying
Even though the night is filled
With voices?
I remember ev’rything you thaught me
Every book I’ve ever read
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright
Papa, how I love you.
Papa, how I need you.
Papa, how I miss you
Kissing me goodnight

Thank you, thank you for the delicious pics – I’ll have to get the screen cleaner out again!👅

Tomorrow is mom’s big day. We will have our early dinner and go back to her house for coffee and/or drinks and cake.☕🍷 Mom’s favorite is cheesecake.🍰

Nice day in the ‘burgh. Husband’s golf league starts Sunday and they are calling for rain.🌧 That is one thing he won’t do, golf in the rain. Maybe it will be scattered. Was looking forward to a Sunday by myself.😕

Happy Birthday to your dad in heaven.💖🙏💖

Finding Gifts in All

Before bed each night, take the time to review your day and review the gifts you received.

When we have good days, we often find ourselves going over the details later, enjoying them a second and third time as we feel the joy of our good fortune. When we have bad days, we may find ourselves poring over the details of our misfortunes. However, we can reframe those bad days by making it a daily practice to spend some time before going to bed each night to review the gifts we received that day. Regardless of our evaluation of the day—good, bad, mediocre—we can call forth the many blessings that were present. This practice transforms our consciousness as it reveals the fullness at the heart of our lives.

Some days it’s easy to recount the gifts we’ve received; on other days, we have to look harder for the offerings of the day, but once we do, we will find there are always quite a few. We can keep it simple and be grateful for the fact that we have a roof over our head, nature, food, and our health. Once we have fully experienced these gifts, we can move outward to the gifts that may require a little more thought such as the gifts of forgiveness, tolerance and acceptance that we may have learned that day. We can also always be grateful for the people in our lives who support us, no matter how bad our day may have been.

Just reviewing the many positive offerings in our lives provides a context for our difficulties that puts them in proper perspective, but we can also make an effort to see the gifts even in adverse circumstances. This can be challenging and may require some practice before it feels authentic, but we have all had the experience of a disappointment or loss leading to a surprising gain. Just remembering this and trusting the give and take of life can help us to remember that sometimes the best gifts of all are the ones we don’t recognize right away. In addition, the lessons we learn in the face of adversity are offerings in their own right, allowing us to count patience, wisdom, and fortitude alongside the other gifts of the day. AMEN! ✨✨

@kitten,

Good morning in California enjoy your day Kitten be well. ✨🌹

@shoelady60,

Good day in the beautiful ‘burgh. 😘💕😎Lady I did read your post last night.
I thought I responded because I was laughing so hard at you licking the computer
screen for the cake. 🤣😂😎Thank you I need that laugh.

Good for hubby to get a grass cutter I do hire lawn services to cut our grass only when
it is blazing hot or too much for one person to handle.✨ We have some planting to
do this weekend and this is the first weekend that is warm enough to plant and get those
roots going. 💕

I know you are super busy with your nephew coming into town and your mother’s Birthday. 😘

Hey enjoy your Hockey Games and your mother’s birthday. 😘💕🌹

Happy Birthday to Shoelady’s Mother good times and many happy healthy returns. 🌹✨

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. Taci I know you are happy to have your husband and son
back home after their getaway. 😎✨🌹I know how you feel nice when they get away and very
nice when they return home. 💕

Oz is alright today we have some sun and the temps are not too bad. I have windows open. ✨

Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

Does this look familiar? 😎💕😘

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. ✨Oodie I read your post from last night.

Oodie what a day you had yesterday all that work to pick out and have a Vanity installed
only to have to cancel the whole order. I know you will get it done. I just hate that people
are giving you the run around. Yeah you have a lot going on.

Well shizzle if you have to start over I would do it but I would not wait too long.
Your priority right now is getting your husband on his feet and out of Rehab.
I guess it is one day at a time.

Oodie how long has it been since you were at your homes on Cape Cod and CT.?
That is a long time and I am sure it is more than two years. I am glad you have great
neighbors who look out for you. ✨

Soon all of this will be over and you and hubby can move on with doing what you love. 💕
I am love those Costco Hotdogs and glad they were still warm for hubby and room mate.

Try and get some rest and time for you once all the urgency is over.

@xango,

I hope you enjoyed your Pizza last night. I am so glad you had some gentle rain. ✨🌹😎💕
Oz will have some rain tonight and tomorrow I am fine with that everything seems to be
so dry this year. I say bring it. 😎

What’s for dinner I love asking you that question because you always have a great answer.

Enjoy the day. 😘

@loaf,

Wishing you a great Wednesday Loaf you are missed. ✨🌹😘
