Last night was an enjoyable time just continuing with the Winter Olympics. I enjoy these evenings so much and as well it's something that I just find to be all to fine. Today I went grocery shopping and thereafter I had a few other things that needed to be taken care of, as I won't be having my training till next Tuesday as here we celebrate family day. I think it's coming towards a time where my father will have to be placed within a home of some nature. There is a noticeable change that is taking place unfortunately. Yet I expected that some time back. Family day, I am not too sure about you but I literally do find that this is very nice and within all things that are happening you just render what can be. I don't have my own family, I don't dwell on it. My own that is. Nevertheless, I do wish to do something this spring after this winter and all does get done. And I really am not a dreamer but I do think I shall. So often I find that we say we test ourselves and I know that I have but it's the positive things that I wish to embark on. And I hope that this aspiration shall happen. Hope - again an often used word but hope and determination does lead to a path. I truly believe that. Within the eve when I get on here do I have high expectations? Yes, I have enjoyable one that I truly love to share. Mind you I am coming to find that nearly everyone does these days as this past week there are some people that I have come to "run into" by way of the internet as well as old friends and the ones that are on here.
It's all fun I think. And here I go again but I don't think I am the only one. For some reason it's winter still but spring seems to be within the air.
Good evening Jack....."Family Day" what a wonderful day to cellabrate>
ReplyDeleteAs I have been through the days where my mother first started to change and knowing now that out of all the cherished moments were the ones caught with pictures,which bring me great joy now as I will always have those memories.Each moment is precious Jack,so cherish the little things with your Dad. God bless,Caroline
Spring is in the air, every where I look around... birds are singing, snow is melting, sky is blue and the sun is shining, the grass is even green in some places around our office building. Yeeesss! Spring is coming our way!
ReplyDeleteFor your father, I certainly can relate to your feelings for we had to take that decision at one point, and my friend`s mother has just moved to a smaller apartment in a center with services for she cannot stay alone anymore. There comes a point when our parents need more care than we could provide at home, even with the best of intentions. The more difficult is not to feel guilty about it. We have to keep in mind that in those homes, there are many people on three different shifts to give the care that we are trying to provide being only one or two people in our family homes. When you think about it that way, you realize it is only normal to come to that option. All the best in your decisions, which I am sure you will have long pondered with your other family members Jack. Take care and enjoy that family day holiday.
I understand the feelings as my Dad was in the Nursing Home and though he is back home things are far from perfect..I don't know what's going to happen from one day to another..
ReplyDeleteSpring is around the corner for which I am thankful. Life is filled with seasons and changes. Some are difficult at best but glean as much joy as you can from each day and there will be joys to come yet throughout the seasons yet to come..God bless your family with peace . Enjoy that "Family Day"
.make the most of "family Day ,,what a lovely Tradition ..take care of yourself:)xo
ReplyDeleteThanks much there is much time that has evolved with him. As well as a good long story on whom he is but at the very same time one does come to understand certain things at a certain point. It's really not without regards to my own father it's an acceptance of what the circumstances are as they are now new. They were when I moved back here and saw how he had started to really decline. But you render the acceptance.
ReplyDeleteYeah I know you can and it's really coming to that stage. I have no perfect solution and I am not down about this I don't ponder the others that you mention of I understand it Danielle and it's time for a shift but as it's been a year of things and you just have to come to a point where you know where you are placed, and you move ahead again as I think you know I have done this before and I shall again.
ReplyDeleteI shall enjoy it and I really look within all aspects to spring....and maybe a flight somewhere.
Yes and Cheryl you are there with your husband and I am not complaining but my eyes are within the future my family shall be fine and this weekend shall be a time where my own cousin that is just getting back from Madrid will be great to get together with as she is that one cousin of mine that I have always seemingly seen as a sister in a sort of good way. When she does not complain about being married :).
ReplyDeleteSo it goes...
Caroline I shall I am smiling here as I have had a great day and the people you run into that you have never seen for some time yet who does not want there own family or companionship of sorts. For now this is my way but it's all very fine. Something always good can come out of anything - I feel. When and if one takes a predictable good chance. I have done it all my life. And I have had more success within doing what I plan out most of the times. Not just words but truly thoughts of something I will be embarking on while I have been embarking on my this physical therapy - and I don't waiver.
ReplyDeleteSpring is around the corner but I feel that spring is really within the air...
ReplyDeleteHave a good Time with your family, Jack. Making that decision about our parents is a tough spot to be in...but que sera sera, we can only do so much. Spring, is something I am waiting for too, especially for the warmth and colours and twittering birds. :) Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeletela familia amigo-----it is---si?----celebrate for within this concept that we call "family" is so much of who we are and so much of who we are not------sometimes i stand 'neath the cypress and ponder on 65 million years of evolution that i carry in my blood----all relations--si? gifts given ---talents ----appearances----and then amigo----65 million years of evolution that i do not carry in my blood but rather in my heart----for those are the ones who raised me and loved me and tolerated me----nature/nurture----- spring-----renewal-----nurtured by the dead leaves of season past----circles------------we be.................
ReplyDeleteOh very much so Rashmi, I am just about to head off to bed here but it is and in a way it's not and I just know that I shall have a wonderful one. Decisions are just apart of life as I have come to see it. So I am shortly off to bed here and who's to say what direction one takes but I just enjoy the balance of life style as well as getting a good nights sleep as well.
ReplyDeleteYes we evolve and what we are and whom we are is within our own very own values that are instilled during our youth. I just came back after closing up the doors and I looked outside and it's rather foggie and circles is certainly a manner of live. Within the circles there are is possibly a quote and it's called, "Get around too it". Yet I find that the circle is not really mine for holding I find that the flow within it is within is one that constantly evolves. Si. Why do I always want to write in espanol to you - :)
ReplyDeleteRenewal is within a good nights sleep and the waking of a new day.
You do not need to have the same blood to be "family". Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteMichelle this is true...
ReplyDeleteHave fun as spring is nearing.
ReplyDeleteI have!
