What a day. The Asian food was delicious. There was one dish I absolutely adored and will order it from time to time. This was the Dry Seafood Peppercorn Shrimp and was hot hot hot. Thought of your hubby as I took one bite after another. I finished it off this morning for breakfast. It was close to brunch time.

Today was garbage day and I had two full bags. I do have quite a few things for recycle on Thursday and the bin is almost overflowing. At the same time I also found some items for donation and will see if I have enough things thrown together to make the trip worthwhile.

I left for hubby’s appointment 45 minutes prior. Didn’t realize it was raining until I drove out of the driveway. No heavy deluge. Just a soft spring rain and the flowers and plants were loving it. I had decided on a route that would bring me closer to where I needed to be. However, at the third light traffic did not move. It was then I noticed a couple of school buses and a three car accident up ahead. I had time to get into the right lane and took the path I always take to the rehab. This one was bumper to bumper. I persevered and made it to the highway and an exit later was on the road I needed. Made it to the appointment with fifteen minutes to spare. Noticed hubby had not arrived, so found a seat and opened my book. He was a little late.

His name was called and I followed the nurse to the procedure. There was no table. Just a chair .The person who drove helped him out of his wheelchair, but for the first time he did much of the work. I could not believe what he accomplished over the weekend from therapy. The procedure took about 90 minutes, but he was done within an hour. The person who drove helped him to dress and he arrived back at rehab in time for dinner. We had rain the entire afternoon and I loved it. When I left the air was cool. It was the first time in months that I drove without the A/C and had the windows opened. The breath of fresh air was just amazing. I had forgotten what air smelled like. It was a beautiful scent of fresh flowers. No sun the entire day.

I went and checked the front door and found it unlocked. Opened the door thinking the air was refreshed. It was not. A blast of hot air and humidity greeted me. My day of the spring air vanished. Tomorrow, rather today, we will be back to heat and dreadful humidity with the air quality being poor. Oh well. It was a joy to have it for a few hours. September usually brings cooler temps in the mid 70s to mid 80s. It’s a beautiful month to be in Florida.

Next appointment is Friday for the full report . Fingers crossed that there are no problems. Hubby’s brain seemed to be intact. The saying from yesterday (I cannot leave you for one minute.”) is something he always uses when I do something careless. He knows he has been in rehab too long. He wants home so bad. I have tons to do before he comes home.

Today is a “me” day. Have a hair appointment and looking forward to an hour of bliss. Afterwards will return to Lowes to order the microwave. I was really hoping for the LG, but the price of a Whirlpool cannot be beat. Hubby and I talked and that is how the decision was made. So good to see him lucid. He knows when the dementia is there. He says it’s like seeing the fog over the lake. In reading the results of Covid, that was one of the things it mentioned. It will be awhile before things kick in.

Time for bed. Have a great Tuesday. I will write later.

Peace Out Peeps stay cool and safe. ✨

Having It Easy

Everyone must overcome difficulties, and everyone has been granted a distinctive set of talents with which to do so.

Our lives are an exercise in facing challenges. We dream the grandest of dreams as youngsters only to discover that we must cultivate copious inner strength and determination in order to meet our goals. Our hard work does not always yield the results we expect. And it is when we find ourselves frustrated by the trials we face or unable to meet our own expectations that we are most apt to take notice of those individuals who appear to accomplish great feats effortlessly. Some people’s lives seem to magically fall into place. We can see the blessings they have received, the ease with which they have attained their desires, their unwavering confidence, and their wealth. But, because we can never see the story of their lives as a whole, it is important that we refrain from passing judgment or becoming envious.

Throughout our lives, we glimpse only the outer hull of others’ life experiences, so it’s tempting to presuppose that the abundance they enjoy is the result of luck rather than diligent effort. In a small number of cases, our assumptions may mirror reality. But very few people “have it easy.” Everyone must overcome difficulties and everyone has been granted a distinctive set of talents with which to do so. An individual who is highly gifted may nonetheless have to practice industriously and correct themselves repeatedly in order to cultivate their talents. Their myriad accomplishments are more likely than not the result of ongoing hard work and sacrifice. You, no doubt, have natural abilities that you have nurtured and your gifts may be the very reason you strive as tirelessly as you do. Yet others see only the outcome of your efforts and not the efforts themselves

Our intellects, our hearts, and our souls are constantly being tested by the universe. Life will create new challenges for you to face each time you prove yourself capable of overcoming the challenges of the past. What you deem difficult will always differ from that which others deem difficult. The tests you will be given will be as unique as you are. If you focus on doing the best you can and making use of the blessings you have been granted, the outcome of your efforts will be a joyous reflection of your dedication. AMEN! ✨✨
