A Better Day

I went to bed last night with the determination that I WAS going to have a good day today! I wish I could remember that my brain is the most important part of my body! If I can convince my brain that I am going to have a good day physically, the rest of my body trots along eager for the experience! I KNOW this but sometimes I get bogged down in the morass of self pity.

Anyway, I got trash out to the bins and remade my bed. Somehow the bottom of the duvet was at the top and the buttons kept coming undone. Well, when I say "somehow" I mean that I actually put it on the bed that way!   But not deliberately! So, I sorted that out. I also found my winter socks and brought a few pairs into the sock drawer in the bedroom. I need to get a plastic bag and put all the summer socks away. And it is time to put away all the T-shirts I wear in the summer and get the winter stuff where I can get to it easily. I am going to visit my older son in MS for Christmas and so I need to be able to find a few good T-shirts and layering stuff to put over them because if all goes as planned, I am going straight from MS to NC for the new year!

I need to record that I made a small crock pot stew today. It was OK but nothing special. I am trying to cook for myself at least twice a week and mostly I am doing quite well at it. It is getting to grocery buying time again. I am out of fruit and almost out of bread.

I really don’t mind living alone and I seldom get bored but I do miss having Fred to talk to occasionally.

Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone. ~Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers)
