Thank You Neighbor...

 

 

I do the Inside...

Rubin, you do the Outside 

  

 When one lives alone it is so nice

to receive help from a neighbor

also the neighbor give one the ability

to hire them to do work in ones garden

 

Well, that was my day today

a neighbor worked in my garden

got all the weeds out of the soil

and of course I paid him nicely

 

I use to do all that yard work myself

but, as one grows older it is helpful to be

able to hire someone to do the work so all

is beautiful again as I look out my windows

 

I want to thank Rubin for working for me

doing a beautiful job ridding the weeds

toiling the soil and trimming the plants

I am very thankful for the work he's done...

Faith Within Our Hearts...

Weather is currently unrecognizable

as the sun considers hiding in the clouds

time to be low keyed and smell a breeze

as we listen if the wind will be loud

 

Days like this are welcome as we sit alone

nice to be content in our comfortable home

maybe tomorrow the light will begin to shine

then its time to go out into the world and roam

 

Take a ride see the water and its glow

do a little shopping but not a large amount

going out away from ones every day walls

but take it easy don't join to many to count

 

Being content within ones own life

becomes easy as days go silently away

with age one surely will slow down but

never will His love for us ever go astray

Words from the Soul...

 

Today is a day of rest as this

soul was very busy yesterday

always seems to be this or that to

take care of every moment in time

 

Sometimes life is difficult when one lives

alone - but one learns how to take care

taking it one step at a time to stay on track

so life does not catch up on a wrong note

 

I am happy that I take care of me...being

married years ago to an Air Traffic Controller 

who worked shifts he taught me a lot about

life of which most women don't have a clue

 

Yes, it is lonely for my two daughters live

in different states far from me - hey, this is

life and I have to deal with it! I am totally

grateful to God that He is with me daily and...

 

      ALWAYS SHOWS ME THE WAY!!!

Hey! It's "BOB"...

Dedicated to My Neighbor "BOB"

 

I have a new man neighbor

so nice to see him outside

 I smile with a wave of my hand

he waves back with his smile wide

 

Off he goes to visit his family

a pleasant man who enjoys life

happy he moved in without

being married to a chatty wife

 

Being a senior living with

older ladies who are very nice

it's so great to speak to a man

who doesn't choose to give advice

 

A friendship I hope will continue

with my new neighbor we will see

"BOB" is a name I love because Bob's

are in my family...more than three

Just Do It...

 

There are days when everything

piles up upon each other

time goes by with thoughts to

complete ones daily chores

 

Sometimes it is just too much

and one says to themselves

tomorrow, I'll do it tomorrow

yeah right...as tomorrow passes

 

When a person lives alone they are

responsible for their lives and usually take

very good care of themselves because there

may not be anyone else there to help

 

Well, to finish this posting I DID IT

I took care of business that I have put off 

day in and day out and I am sooo proud of

myself that the lingering issues are finally done

Thoughts Within an Old Lady's Mind...

 

Rhoda's Internal Thoughts... 

 

There is always someone in our life that

we long to acknowledge a bit more on a

daily basis but, somehow that doesn't

seem to come to everyone's advantage

 

Yes, it is a hello here and there

yes, it is how have you been and

then see you later on you take

care and be good to yourself

 

I would like more of a relationship

but, at my age that is not going to

happen I am sad to say proof is

there as I read my words again

 

But, that is OK for people are people

friends are friends and life is what it is

as to how we live and maintain our

attitudes as we grow older in age

Our Individual Lifestyle...

 

 

  

 

 Expression comes from within

ones soul and their self being

Most people today hold thoughts

inside not willing to communicate

 

It is a whole new world compared

to fifty years ago amongst people

Kindness and gentle thoughts are

not practiced by most people today

 

Daily life can't be changed with

thoughts as there must be action

But people are to busy and rushed

to consider a change in their lifestyle

 

Realizing life today is what it is

happiness can be learned and maintained

The point of this message is look at

our own overall lifestyle carefully

One Day at a Time...

 

 

 One will run here and there to

take care of their daily business

something is always there to do

whether you are up or down

 

The world has become so uptight

and fast it is sometimes difficult

to maintain one's lifestyle of 

their daily peace and quiet

 

Daily chores are maintained

with good attitudes and guides for

without that one would certainly

fail within their own livelihood

 

With aging most people learn their own

patterns of life and how to live as they

maintain moments of truth and how to cope

so their world shall be pleasant and calm

(Happy Spring at LAST!!!) 

Internal Thoughts...

Hmmmmmm

Moments of quiet can

be suitable for those

who can withstand their

daily non movements

 

Sometimes one needs

peace and quiet alone

within themselves to

clearly comprehend life

 

Decisions are made for 

the day with confidence

for those who can take

care of themselves

 

Words come from ones time in life

as we all learn our daily living

and what it means even when

our time bounces up and down

 

Rhoda Galgiani

Dates...

 

 

 

Dates are noticeable within these eyes

they are to be planned with confidence

depending on ones self to take control can

be a delight within a moments thought

 

Certain numbers that appear on the calendar

are to be avoided to calm ones mind

one learns to adjust their lifestyle based 

upon how they view whats before them

 

Some remain calm throughout every day

others are in turmoil as they try to remain calm

they plan every step that is before them and

pray for positive guides from Him above

 

We are as adults how we were raised

for some confidence is always there

for others it has to be learned and

touched upon on a daily basis

 

Rhoda Galgiani

Rainy Skies...

 

 

Moving slowly this afternoon

clouds across a dimly lite sky

Weather changes every minute

it brings sadness to ones eye

 

One must move on from our woes

as nature provides mist everywhere

Taking it a moment in our time

one tries not to be aware

 

The weather is what it is

one must endure the day

All will clear as time moves on

this is certainly natures way

 

So again sprinkles are about

we feel a chill as we want to explore

Natures beautiful foliage and trees

we wait for the leaves we adore

 

Rhoda Galgiani

Confused Feelings...

 

Life has changed day by day
of which we become confused
as we wonder what is next
 
The whole country is totally new
with ups and downs as one tries
to contend with blind visions

 

Do we learn from our mistakes

or does the country smile happily

with her continued misguided woes

 

Not knowing the answers 

one tries to move on positively

one moment in time adjusting...

 

Rhoda Galgiani  

Mother Nature...

 

 Mother Nature has her ways

her mood may change from day to day

one day shiny and bright then the

next overcast with all her might

 

Sometimes we just don't know

what our day will be dull or glow

maybe a dream will give us light

if we just sit nice and tight

 

So Mother Nature be ever so kind

don't be violently harsh to make us blind

for we need to see your loving light

that gives us a day of pure delight

Thoughts To Carry...

 

Moments of surprise come

with a beat to the heart

Time moves up and down with

wonderful thoughts at the start

 

Daily trends are trails that we learn

grow with us as lifestyles are earned

thoughts we carry within our soul

we believe and now become whole

 

Daily routines move us up and around

moments are wild we try to slow down

life changes from here to there

wildness sometime is everywhere

 

Expression comes from our lifestyle

dreams here and there once in a while 

but this is life we learn to cope as

we grow older we gain new hope

 

for true faith to remain within...

 

Rhoda Galgiani

Faith Within...

 

 

Happiness is There if One Accepts It 

The Sun came and

touched the ocean

Brings calm to the

world like a soft lotion

 

With moments of pleasant

thoughts one should own

Dreams of bonding remains

within ones heart is known

 

How does one remain alone

when the world is so over bound

Meeting a stranger one day

surely that is to be found

 

One learns to defend themselves

taking on a responsible lively hood

Days pass with good intentions as

one profits with their own goods

 

Mental stability should remain

knowing one shall grow in size

Step by step one expands gracefully

as they become internally wise
