The one good thing about yesterday is that Lowes do have people that can do the job. It’s the cost factor that may need to be addressed. But at least, if hired, the work will get done.

Hubby had an accident this afternoon. He was in a wheelchair and had a fall when trying to return to the bed. He is very impatient and at the same time wants to do things himself. We will get to that stage, but it will take time. The nurse who phoned said he wasn’t hurt. Yet, I am very concerned. I am dropping everything and getting out of work clothes and heading down there as I type. And right now, I am very itchy. This episode has given me the hives big time. Will take the antihistamine to offset it. I will write more later.

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! ✨✨

@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. 🌹✨

@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. 😎

Enjoy the day. 😘
