Thursday, July 5, 2007

I am blogging early tonight. I had a down day. I didn't have to go to work and they will probably need me on Monday.

The loneliness is horrible. I made a few phone calls most of the people were not home.

The results of my blood work and mammogram came back OK. My cholesterol is a little high but not too high. I'll have to work on that.

Danny liked jumping up on my brother Don's lap yesterday. He really likes people when he gets to know them.

I have some more lilies blooming. The red ones are done but I have pink and yellow blooming now. There is also a lily budded up in the back yard. I don't remember what color it is.

Ted would like the vincas I chose for this year. They are a mauve color and look real pretty.

I guess sometimes everything just overwhelms me. I wish I were more like Ted. He dove right in and faced challenges. I'd rather grab a cup of tea and lie down with my blanket.

When I walked Danny this afternoon, it started raining. He wanted to poke along but I picked up the pace and pulled him along.

I hope I feel better tomorrow.

Hi Karol,

I just know tomorrow will be a better day for you. We can always think of someone who does things better than we do, but, if we were real honest with ourselves, we do many things better than others too. Life isn't a contest to see who is best - we just stumble along doing the best we can with what our good Lord gave us. and, He gave us each so much.

When you're feeling down and lonely, it's so easy to beat yourself up. Please remember that you do so many wonderful things. Take a look at your beautiful yard. You help others constantly. Your gifts are too numerous to even mention all of them. You're good - very good, as I've mentioned before.

I will say a special prayer for you tonight and I know God will hear me. Tomorrow will be a little better. Ted watches over you and is so very proud of you Karol. Fondly, Ruth

Dear Ruth,

I do feel better this morning. Part of my feeling down yesterday was my cousin's son's death. Bert was my ageand my cousin, Louise is near my father's age. She has been very supportivive to me over the years. I was sad that she lost her only child. I feel for Bert's wife. I know what she is going through. Louise does has two wonderful granddaughters. I will be going to stay with my brother, Rick, today. Bert's viewing is tonight and funeral tomorrow.

thank you for all your support.

Love, Karol

God be with you always Karol, as He always is.

As much as I would miss seeing you, I really think you need to move closer to your family and friend over the bridge. I know you have talked about doing this. Any more thoughts about it?

Phyllis
