Conversation – 18
Hello Peeps time for a new Conversation Thread. This is
number 18 out of the series. I created and started this thread 9 years ago.
I will change it often from now on. This is just a knock around
thread about things in life. My life and others. I am an avid Heidi
Daus Collector, former singer, model and so on. I do this thread because
I enjoy what I do. I love fashion and music and HSN is a little of both.
I cover a lot of music and fashion on this thread. ✨😎
I am going to wish Happy Holidays to all the Peeps out there and please
stay safe.

Not quite as warm today but more humid so basically feels the same.🔥 Welcome summer. I sure hope all your tests came back fine.👍
My husband, a couple friends and a neighbor are supposed to play in our township’s annual golf outing on Friday. That is the only day this week with a 70% chance of thunderstorms, go figure.⛈ Sounds like they will be rained out. I feel bad for the township because it is a fundraiser for the community center and they will lose a lot of money from the players and sponsors. Don’t know if it can be rescheduled because it is planned very early with the golf course and caterers. Nothing is easy.🤷♀️
Sending hugs to Oz.🤗

@Sheba🌺🌺🌺🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Hello Sheba, You were up very early. I hope all went well during your labs and at the doctor’s visit.
Last night we had the best down pour, it rained galor. It rain more after I wrote my post. After the rain, we had a symphony of crickets singing. It made me happy listening to all the singing. Today its back to the heat and humidity.
The Rabbit stayed in the backyard today all afternoon. Having a good time enjoying the greens and the quite area.
I hope you are resting and taking it easy after a long day.
Take care Sheba 🌹 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 -
Sheba, glad you got in an early morning walk before the temps rise. Hope all went well with your labs. The TS Ring… I have been obsessed with watching it on air. I wished they talked more about sizing. So many lovely shades of diamonds. If I do decide to get the ring it will be the champagne. Anyone else out there buying?
Sunny and cool here. Will walk soon.

Control
The answer to control is practicing surrender.
Trying to maintain control in this life is a bit like trying to maintain control on a roller coaster. The ride has its own logic and is going to go its own way, regardless of how tightly you grip the bar. There is a thrill and a power in simply surrendering to the ride and fully feeling the ups and downs of it, letting the curves take you rather than fighting them. When you fight the ride, resisting what’s happening at every turn, your whole being becomes tense and anxiety is your close companion. When you go with the ride, accepting what you cannot control, freedom and joy will inevitably arise.
As with so many seemingly simple things in life, it is not always easy to let go, even of the things we know we can’t control. Most of us feel a great discomfort with the givens of this life, one of which is the fact that much of the time we have no control over what happens. Sometimes this awareness comes only when we have a stark encounter with this fact, and all our attempts to be in control are revealed to be unnecessary burdens. We can also cultivate this awareness in ourselves gently, by simply making surrender a daily practice. At the end of our meditation, we might bow, saying, “I surrender to this life.” This simple mantra can be repeated as necessary throughout the day, when we find ourselves metaphorically gripping the safety bar.
We can give in to our fear and anxiety, or we can surrender to this great mystery with courage. When we see people on a roller coaster, we see that there are those with their faces tight with fear and then there are those that smile broadly, with their hands in the air, carried through the ride on a wave of freedom and joy. This powerful image reminds us that often the only control we have is choosing how we are going to respond to the ride. AMEN! 🌹✨

Today I was up at 5 am and back to sleep shortly thereafter. Woke with a start arojnd 9am and decided to remain up and about. Unlike xango, we had the dark clouds all morning and afternoon with the sun coming through every so often. I thought I would have to turn the computer off as well as the washing machine, but the sun squeezed through once again. There was no rain near me all day. Just the dark clouds and the sun playing peek a boo. That was, until I decided that it was time to make a run to the Farmer’s Market. As I was stopped at a red light, the rain drops came and went away. However, by the time I reached the last light before entering the area where th e market was, it became a downpour. I put the lights on and made my way without a problem. Found a good area for parking and proceeded to the store. Once inside I realized I forgot to turn the lights off and so I ran through huge puddles and made it to the car and th en ran back to the store. I was drenched head to foot. Guess this made up for the other day.
I purchased quite a bit of fruit. Cherries have started to come down in price. Saw apricots and raspberries molded together and though small, bought a few to try. The Pluots were out as well. First time this season. Definitely bought hubby the cubed watermelon. Instead of his usual Italian grinder bought tuna on a cre;;er for both of us along with fresh cut up veggies. Salmon. crab legs cluster and chicken tenderloins were on sale along with salmon. Sale was for Monday and today on those I just mentioned. The market is doing a free hotdog day with all the fixings and then some from 11am-3pm. This is for customer appreciation. I saw on facebook that this includes veggies, soda and watermelon and maybe ice cream as well. I think hubby would enjoy a day out and will see what I can do to make this happen. I was in the market almost two hours.
The rehab center has not had A/C in almost two weeks. Seems they are waiting on a part. Hubby’s room was unbearably hot and muggy. His clothes in the closet are damp and those in the drawers need to be aired. When I go tomorrow I will include “Clean Boss.” I will be taking all his clothes out of the closet and drawers to air in the room while I clean. However, if the A/C hasn’t been repaired I will wait until it is and then do this. Meanwhile I may take all his clothing home to be washed. Not to worry, I have some in the dryer ready to be folded and brought to Rehab. Some more news. Today, hubby said he needed to go to the bathroom. He had the urge to go. I’m hoping this is the beginning of things to come. I rang for the nurse since he was able to sit up in bed on his own and to have his good leg over the edge of the bed ready to sprint.
See you were up in time to watch the sunrise. It is such a beautiful and serene moment. Our temps here are in the 90s and the humidity is just as high. I am watching the tropics as I type. Looks like “havoc” is starting a few months early. Not a good sign.
