Oh how I hate Mondays. Just got off the phone with Urology. I was on hold for almost 20 minutes. I do not know why getting an appointment for the bladder is taking so long. The rehab has people in the wings who can help hubby on and off the bed. Most of the help at rehab wear masks all day. Anyway, they will either contact me or the head nurse/unit mgr.

I do not know why Sam’s Club does not add more pumps. The lines would certainly move faster. I have had no problems with Costco. In and out and on my next adventure in no time. For the most part, after waiting so long, I probably had enough gas to drive to Costco. Just didn’t want to take any chances.

Hubby ate his ice cream and everything else went by the wayside. When I left he still had a Reuben and onion rings to feast upon and also the ice cream I couldn’t finish. I also made sure he had water on the tray table. I will write later.

It is very hot and humid. The temp is in the 90s and the humidity is up there as well. It may rain sometime this afternoon. I will not be holding my breath on this one. Not absolutely positive that it rained near our home. Rain is sporadic and does not always cover the entire area. Rain yesterday seemed to be between Costco and Carver’s. Going West towards Rehab, rain seemed to stop. There were no puddles in the driveway.

Staying Grounded in a Big City or Busy World

For a more grounded life, choose not to get caught up in the fast-paced world around you.

1. Live simply and deliberately. By choosing not to get caught up in the details of this fast-paced world, you are doing your part to slow down the rat race and quell consumerism. You will also discover that you have more time to enjoy being alive.

2. Stay in touch with yourself. Soul searching, meditation, and journaling are just a few of the many activities you can take part in to stay aware and learn as much as you can about your emotions, reactions, likes, dislikes, dreams, and fears. Having a solid sense of self gives you a firm foundation for living in this world.

3. Support or teach others as often as you can. This can help you form connections with people while also giving you an opportunity to make the world a better place.

4. Consciously choose what you will allow into your being. The media bombards us with visions of hate, war, and pain. Be judicious about what you read, watch, and listen to.

5. Acknowledge the beauty that resides around you. Whether you live in a sprawling metropolis or a stereotypical suburb, there are natural and man-made wonders just waiting to be discovered by you.

6. Nurture your ties to your community. If you don’t have one, create one that you can belong to. Modern life can be isolating. When you have a community, you have a circle that you are a part of. Its members – loved ones, friends, or neighbors – can be a source of support, caring, guidance, and companionship.

7. See the larger picture. Remember that the way you choose to live is not the only way to live. Widen your perspective by exploring other modes of being through research, travel, and discussion.

8. Embrace the challenges that life presents to you, and challenge yourself often. After a time, even the most exciting jobs or lifestyles can seem routine. Never stop assimilating new knowledge about whatever you are doing, and your life will never seem dull.

9. Move your body. In this busy world, it can be easy to live a sedentary life. Movement reacquaints us with our bodies and connects us to the earth in a visceral way. It also restores our vitality.

10. Make time for stillness, silence, and solitude. The world can be noisy, and we are subject to all kinds of noises nearly every waking hour. We are also often on the go and unable to relax. Being alone in a peaceful place and making time for quiet can help you stay in touch with yourself.

Enjoy what you do. 😎✨
