I write only of the truth!!

Imagine if you will please this cell phone crazed, Facebook, twitter, technology dependent generation in the nursing homes. Yes, this is right. At some point it will happen.

We will be twittering about our sponge baths, the hot and not so hot nurses, keep everyone posted on our bowel movements and update on what drugs we are getting on facebook. We will text our fellow neighbor instead of trying to yell at them. Entertainment won’t be bingo and card games. We will have wheelchair Wii and video game tournaments.

You must understand I spend a lot of time out with the dogs with no one to talk to. (This is a good sign right?  The dogs are not yet talking to me.  Give it time)  So I have a lot of time to think about things like this. 

Take this advice with a glass of wine

Take each day as an adventure; make the best of what you have at the moment. Be a lab and dance through the puddle, don’t spend the time looking down for the best safe step. Look up at everything that is around you and move forward. Get dirty, get wet and laugh with each step. Splash the ones next to you and remember to stay out of Lily’s puddle.

She loves to pee in them.

Interrupted nap

It is amazing what one Chihuahua can do to a good nap time at The Barn.  We had a new dog which takes a lot out of the normal guys and we had a lot of time out in the sun soo nap time is really needed. Been down about half hour so you know everyone is in deep sleep, radio on, few cute cuddle puddles. One little Chihuahua (we all know who it is too!!) leaps up barking (she must have been on a good hunt in her dreams or something) At once every one is leaping up, stepping on each other not sure if they should bark or run or why they should be barking at or running from. Cherine dropped her book and screamed, I leaped from my chair then we pissed ourselves laughing. I don’t think Georgia had a clue what was going on. Then guess who the 1^st one back to sleep? Yeah the loud mouth. The little beast!!!

just be

You must surround yourself with people who are happy and at ease being themselves, people who can laugh and make the best of the moment. In doing so you can be that person as well. Be bold and say what it is you wish to say no matter the emotion, the craziness or how bazaar the thought. If you have to think before speaking around closest friends then they are not your closest friends. People who are around you the most need to be the ones to understand you and let you be who it is you need to be.

Love yourself and the ones that are around you. Life is short and hard but it’s an amazing thing.

A child’s imagination

Cherine: What is that sound?

Me: It is a mighty dragon coming down upon us!!!

Cherine: oh no whatever are we going to do?!?

Me: I shall send Jasmine out to slay it!!

Cherine: She will need the help of a hobbit!!

Me: Go Cadan goooo!!!

Really, people leave us with their dogs?!? Amazing…

And to who may be concerned in New Durham, do not worry it was only a helicopter. We are safe for now.

       “Who you callin a hobbit?!?!”

                           or

        “Please don’t send me out.”

              Could be both haha

              26 days until Spring!

Over and over again

            I can’t wait to be old!!  Cherine makes it out to be such a joy!! She finds a book by her favorite author and can’t wait to read it.  How could she go all this time and never read this book!?!?! Few chapters into it she is in love with story and people.  At 10 chapters it starts.  Oh wait, I think I remember this grandmother.  Oh, I think I have read this book.  Unsure of how it ends she finishes it anyways.  This book that would have only been highly enjoyed once has now been enjoyed twice.  Both times as if it was the 1^st time. Now that is getting your money’s worth!!

Love

Love is silent
Love is actions
We voice it too often till it is white washed out
I love this song, I love this kind of food, I love this shirt, I love you.

In the ancient Greek language there is five different words that all mean love.
Agape- pure ideal type of love.
Eros- passionate love with sensual desire and longing.
Philia- dispassionate virtuous love.  Loyalty to friends, family, and community.
Storge- natural affection.
Xenia- gratitude between a host and a guest, someone who had previously been a stranger.

We only have one word that is meant to cover it all. Show someone what love you have for them today!
