I finally went to the Rehab and could not find hubby. He wasn;t in his room, so I checked the TV r oom, the lanai and outdoors. No where to be found. One of the LPN’s went looking as well. Said my hubby does this all the t me. It’s as if he is playing hide and seek. He was eventually found in another room which turned out to be the first room he had. I had a bagel with cream cheese and lox which I prepared in his room. Loved it along with a chocolate chip cookie. I even had time to continue reading a Baldacci book that I found in the TV room. There is another one begging me to read it. After Jeopardy, I decided to stay for another hour. That didn’t happen. When the LPN was getting the bed ready, he tried to bring it down to a more reasonable height for hubby. For some reason the bed just didn’t want to function. The head nurse was called and even he had no luck, so both of them went looking for another bed. They found one with a better mattress. However, the LPN didn’t think it was cleaned and so began the spaying and the disinfecting. He found a mattress cover that was brand new and decided while everything was dr ying to look for clean sheets and blankets. All this while hubby was topless in the hallway and sneezing his head off because the A/C was too cold. So the LPN brought a nightie and he was happy. What a relief to see the new bed worked. I left hubby in the hallway and helped put the bed in order. Instead of leaving at 8 pm, It was 10:15 pm when I got to the front door. It took about a half hour to travel 8 miles due to the traffic lights. Florida needs to change the timing at the end of a work day.

@shoelady60,

We think alike when it comes to our favorite fall foods. ✨😎

Nice cool days are coming.

Peace Out Peeps have a nice evening.

Getting ready to visit hubby. Going to heat up a bagel and bring the cream cheese and lox with me. I will put it together in his room.

Today I picked the paint color for the shutters, the peak and the overhangs. House will be power washed first and that will include the lanai. Guess the rugs will be put on hold. Actually this may work out even better. It will mean putting all the furniture outside for a good scrubbing and after the lanai is washed then I will lay the carpets and see how it looks. If I messed up in measurement no problem. They will go to the Cape house. I have a huge outdoor deck as well as space in the basement when I put that together when we return. I will be taking the sectional in the Ct. house to the Cape. Either one of those rugs will liven everything up.

Better get a move on. Saw the Arcade today. So far I am not a happy camper. But, I will smile through it. Just do not appreciate the hype and the lie. Guess they weren’t ready. So be it.

Good afternoon – boy, that game was a lot closer than expected.😮 I predict KC will be the most followed football team this year. For sure that was the party box!🎉✨

Beautiful weather up until the weekend, then 20 degree change. Soup and chili will be on the menu’s.🥣🥘 I’m ready for the cooler weather.

I’m sure sis is relaxing, eating, drinking and gambling. That’s one way we are different, she loves gambling and I hate it. Rather spend my money on a nice piece of jewelry, shoes, handbag, etc.💍👠👜

Making spaghetti for dinner.🍝 Sending hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Incense Meditation

Meditating with incense can offer many benefits — embers become shooting stars, and the silver ribbon of smoke becomes unraveled clouds.

When we focus on incense sticks during meditation, we move into a mystical space that is both physical and spiritual. Like us, the incense stick is earthbound with an ember that burns for only a finite time, but the diaphanous spirit it releases is unbound by time or space. Rather than shutting down our senses to focus on an inner realm, incense involves our senses as we follow whirling smoke upward and outward while we take its scent into us, filling us as we breathe.

The journey starts with a flame, and then a glowing ember releases smoke to rise above us in an ethereal dance. Ashes fall below, purified by the fire. We can use this to imagine negative thoughts being changed from darkness into the beauty of warm gray snowflakes and a scented spun-silver plume, lighter than air. We can watch as our atmosphere is altered to become reminiscent of the heavens and lifts our thoughts: Embers become shooting stars, and the silver ribbon of smoke becomes unraveled clouds. Altered senses may guide our inspired thoughts to travel along new, perhaps undiscovered, pathways.

We can also imagine our physical selves being represented by the incense stick, our inner fire releasing magic into the world. That part of us emanates outward, expanding to mingle with the breath of those around us as we ride the wind to become part of everything. We can also see in the swirling smoke our life’s path, not a straight line but a twirling, meandering ballet that moves us ever onward and upward. We may leave a bit of ourselves behind as we bounce off of our surroundings, working through them, but no matter what we do, we cannot avoid our final destination: oneness with all that is. As spiritual beings enjoying the physical experience of life, incense meditations can help us remember the beauty and wonder of our existence, where heaven and earth, body and spirit, are all available to us in every moment. 😘😎
