Autumn Leaves
Song by Nat King Cole

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I am at the hospital. Hubby is doing a bit better. He is enjoying the food which is delivered hot. I do not need to supplement. It’s a mini vacation for me. Tonight was beef strips with mashed potatoes. Lunch was a small cheese pizza which he was enjoying when I arrived. It was still warm since lunch was served long before my arrival. I have no idea when he will return to rehab. At some point they will do the tests for the surgical procedure in November. He is still having problems swallowing. I did cut the meat in small pieces and he still had a coughing fit . This could still be from the pneumonia. He is now resting. Visiting hour will be over in an hour.

I have to say that the nurses are very attentive. No need to ring the buzzer.

Weather has changed. Temps the last few days have been in the low 80s. With night highs in the low 70s. Tomorrow back to the 90s with high humidity. Rain expected Monday. Then back to the
Cooler temps.

Common Fears

Our minds are powerful, and moving into fear is a common experience that we can each look at and change.

Everyone has fears — it is a natural part of being human. Fear can protect us from harm by sending a rush of adrenaline to help us physically deal with potential danger. But there are times when fear may keep us from participating fully in life. Once we realize that fear is a state of mind, we can choose to face our fears, change our minds, and create the life we want to live.

Our minds are powerful tools to be used by our higher selves; like computers, storing and using data to make certain connections between thought and response. We have the ability to observe these and choose differently. No matter where the fear came from, we can create new connections by choosing new thoughts. When our souls and minds are in alignment, we create a new experience of reality. This journey requires many small steps, as well as patience and courage through the process. Here’s an example: You decide to overcome your fear of driving on the freeway. Your plan of action starts with examining your thoughts and finding a new way of seeing the situation. When you’re ready, you enlist a calm companion to support you as you take the first step of merging into the slow lane and using the first exit. Your heart may be racing, but your confidence will be boosted by the accomplishment. Repeat this until you are comfortable, with or without help, and then drive one exit further. When you are ready, you can try driving in the middle lane, for longer periods each time, until you find yourself going where you want to go. This gradual process is similar for conquering any fear, but if you find it overwhelming, you can always seek the help of a professional.

You may think that you are the only one with a particular fear, that nobody else could possibly be scared of ordinary things such as water, heights, public speaking, or flying. These types of fears are very common, and you can have great success overcoming them. Remember, it is not the absence of the fear but the courage to take action anyway that determines success. When we learn to face our fears, we learn to observe our thoughts and feelings but not be ruled by them. Instead we choose how to shape the lives we want. AMEN! ✨✨😎

Heidi Daus Designs as well as me and I certainly have a lot for him to look at especially
when I am wearing her pieces.

I miss the Sparkle Sisters like you and that was a great Thread. 💕

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎How are things going today?
Oodie when will the hospital release your husband back to Rehab?

I know questions and more questions just want to make sure you are alright too.

I hope the A/C is fixed or will be soon. I hate you being alone in all of this.
Trivia was fun last night and you have people who really appreciate what you
do every Friday. I am glad you will keep it going in some way. 😘

Let me know how your husband is doing I am very concerned. Did I read it right
that you or anyone else can no longer bring food to the Rehab. I get the concern
but what if you are sharing a meal and you are there to make sure all goes well.

Hubby needs to come home as soon as he can. 💕

Oodie welcome to fall and I hope it makes a difference in your weather. Oz is raining
and very wet it will be like this all day.

@xango,

Good afternoon in sunny Florida. 😎💕I hope you and your husband had a great
Anniversary Week. 💕
