It’s great to see you post. I know you are still hurting and it will take time to get back to your ole self. Just have patience and be thankful for the little things you can do. Whatever you do, don’t push yourself. Take each day as it comes. My hubby has a bedside table that goes up and down. You may take a look on line for something like that (well, a little wide). Actually, I like the origami because you do not need to put it together and it easily folds up when not in use. This may be something that could be useful while you are healing. It’s just a thought. As far as watering your plants outside, why not get a sprinkler so you do not need to stand in one spot for what seems like hours. You just need to remember when it was started so it can either be moved to another location or you can (in this case your hubby) shut it off. Better yet, you can set a timer for going on and off. By the way, who says you need to be in the kitchen for getting things ready for baking. Also, many of the patients at the Rehab have walkers. But not the kind they normally use which doesn’t give you the mobility you need. I am talking about a walker which you need to purchase. It has four wheels and a seat. There are brakes on the handles. Hubby’s roommate has one and I have to tell him there is a “red” light ahead as he whizzes by.
Not sure if insurance will pay for this. I suggest you inquire. Your hubby will be able to help with this end. Now, go and take it easy. I’m glad your hubby is home while you are recuperating.

Last week between Wednesday and the weekend we were supposed to get a solar storm that could do havoc to our Internet. I have a feeling that was the reason that your Internet went backwards. I know it’s too late to post to that thread, but could be what did it to you and what made my recaptcha sing out with static. Blame it on that and our cable service as well.

I am fine. Just too tired to post the last couple of days and today having some issues with sinuses that could be a cold. Needless to say I will not be venturing out to see hubby and have told the head nurse as well. However, here is something I am totally amazed at. Two nights ago hubby was extremely tired and it was absolutely freeing in rehab. He had a warm jacket on and one at his feet. He wanted to get under warm covers. I decided to pull the bedding apart and found the bottom sheet was only half done and the top sheet was doubled over. I took the bottom sheet off entirely and told hubby to hang in there. I remade the bed and then hubby decided the wait was over. He locked the wheelchair in place and asked me how he could get into bed on his own. I showed him what I would do and he did the same. He made it into bed himself. I was dumbfounded and all so proud. I now need to have the therapy unit work on him getting in and out of bed on our 14 1/2″ mattress. I have a meeting with the Rehab team on the 7th. I know he will be ready to come home at that time, but since he needs to go through the testing prior to surgery, I am hoping that the rehab can get him there. I think that is scheduled a week later.

My extra pair of hands will be here either tomorrow or sometime next week. His price is more than I care to spend, but will see what he suggests. I also received a phone call a few minutes ago. The guys will be here tomorrow to repair the duct work. That certainly will help my sinuses.
The new microwave will be delivered on the 31st. That’s everything in a nutshell. Hope you have a great day and all the storms are over and done with.

Good afternoon Sheba 😊
It’s a breeze day here, yesterday we had lots of wind. Still no rain and it’s very dry everywhere. Hubby watered the plants, they were just about gone. I don’t have heart to ask him to constantly water them like I used to. He has been doing alot.
Can’t believe it’s just about the end of October. Last year I baked cookies and other goodies for the kids for Halloween. This year hubby ordered candy and he will be giving it out.
Our temperatures continue to remain in the eighties during the day and in the sixties at night.
I am trying to recover, and hoping by the time to decorate for the holidays I will be able to do so.

Take care Sheba 🌹 🙂

You Are Enough

Just being here, being ourselves, is enough.

Most of us have the feeling that we are here to accomplish something big in our lives, and if we haven’t done something that fits the bill we may feel as if we are waiting. We may feel incomplete, or empty, as if our lives don’t yet make sense to us, because they don’t line up with our idea of major accomplishment. In some cases, this may be because we really are meant to do something that we haven’t yet done. But in most cases, we can let ourselves off the hook with the realization that just being here, being ourselves, is enough.

As we live our lives in this world, we share our energy and our spirit with the people around us in numerous ways. Our influence touches their lives and, through them, touches the lives of many more people. When we strive to live our lives to the fullest and to become our true selves, we are doing something big on an inner level, and that is more than enough to make sense of our being here on this planet at this time. There is no need to hold ourselves to an old idea in the back of our minds that we need to make headlines or single-handedly save the world in order to validate our existence.

We can each look within our hearts to discover what is true for us, what gives our lives meaning, and what excites us. We can release ourselves from any pressure to perform that comes from outside of our inner sense of purpose. Staying in tune with our own values and living our lives in tune with our own vision is all we need in order to fulfill our time here. Our lives are a process of becoming so that we cannot help but cocreate; being who we are, responding to each moment as it comes, we can trust that this is enough. AMEN! ✨✨
