Planning the Day

• I miss Fred but I am not in tears over the feeling. He always bought me a little something for today so that is a good thing to be thinking about.
• Physically, I feel well. I have little-to-no back pain, my stomach is settled, my digestive system seems to be working well and the weird cramp in my right hand that was bothering me so much yesterday has gone.
• I slept well from 11 PM to 7:30 this morning.
• I have plans for the day. Mostly the list refers to opening boxes, but, hey, that is what I do these days.
• I have rediscovered how much I enjoy Turner Classic Movies and American Classic movies so I spend my 30 minute breaks –30 on and 30 off– watching these channels.
• There is plenty of good-for-me food in the house. There are also fish fingers and ketchup.
• It is cool and the sun is shining. I will go for a short walk around the apartment complex in one of my 30 minute breaks.
• It is 9 AM so time to tackle the plastic tote by my bed.
• I hope everyone has a good day.

Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) English Poet

Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.

– Oscar Wilde

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}
