Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Like Robert Louis Stevenson " make the most of the best and the least of the worst" is that a good idea?
Working hard on laundry,
considering an increase in car insurance,
putting off my taxes.
Eating what is called a Papusa. Yay, it has meat in it.
People see him as pesky, hate him, and want him dead. They try to shut him up, make him disappear, and constantly criticize his presence.
He was likely tripped up by all the criticism. Or maybe it was me who pushed him over.
Learning to accept his presence has been challenging. Talking about him all the time has made it more of an irritation for me. Because, I admit, I don't much like him either. He never really goes away, never changes his color, even though I have tried to eliminate him. But people should feel free to talk about how irritating he is.
(a discussion ensues about his gender, age, and religion, lol).
Send: What did he "trip" over?
Joni Mitchell is timeless! I adore her and so happy that she is singing for the first time ever at the Grammy awards, at 80 years old!
My favorite album of hers is Blue.
May The Lord touch your body and bless you exceeding abundantly!
You said you feel like 90 tonight . My knees feel like 90. Was up and down a ladder today painting .
The fortunate thing about birthdays and the passing of time
is that you may forget how old you felt on this birthday.
I would feel old if I struggled to count that high all in one day too. 🎂
When the realization comes about that you have made many friends here to share your burdens and joys, may you feel much younger and hopeful in this the New Year.
Many blessings Llama!
Canada has a lot of great musical talent.
But I hope your B'day is great anyways.
If's it's any comfort I'm 62 and also feel 80 at times. Whatever that feels
like. Maybe I only feel 79.
Who knows.................
Anyway, cheers to you!
I think seniors doing rap would be a kick. Just put up the beat and let us go.
But searching You tube music is a good idea for an activity in AL to do as a group . The activity employee could ask residents for songs or artists that they want to hear and then search for them and play them on speakers or even on TV . So many elderly either don’t know how or forget how to use technology .
Some of the activities are pretty lame . I have to admit . They need some better ideas.
