Consuming Thoughts...

 
 
 
 Sometimes one get to
the point of silence not
knowing what to say
 
Well, maybe with this busy 
world quiet is OK giving one
time to rearrange their thoughts
 
Being of the older generation
many thoughts have changed
and come with uncertain rewards
 
Calm is truly the answer
for control now begins to
consume our shaken body
 
What cha think???

A Word From Rhoda...

 
Rhoda and Ginger Give Thanks..
.
 It's been a long two years...
with getting sick after the RSV shot then
going to the hospital and getting Covid!!!
 
Boy oh Boy!!!
 
 Then, to top it off losing my 'Gracie'
being 16 1/2 years old it was her time...
 
The only thing I am truly happy about
is my weight. I am 5'6 1/2" and
weighed 197 lbs two years ago and
now...I am down to 158 lbs.
Just went to the Dr. yesterday and I
am doing great at my old age.
 
My eating habits have totally changed
as I watch Dr. Now and the 'FAT People'
program - Dr. Now dealing with patients
that are 600 and 700 lbs + (wow)
 
Neighbors ask me how I can 
watch his show...I get pass their
weight and want to know why
they gain so much weight -
mostly they were abused! 
 
Anyway, time does heal,
 positive thinking helps and
trust in the Lord is my blessing.
 
Maybe I will get back into writing
again...just going to let myself go
and reach out a bit more to
what is around me...
 
You know going back
to the store, going down by the
water with my lunch and focusing
on Ginger my kitty and so forth.
 
Thanks to all who read me!
It means so much to me mentally and
fills my heart with unconditional love...

Thoughts Come and Go...


  Love is in the air
I feel the gentle breeze
movement is everywhere
I see it in the leaves
 
Moments of disbelief
this is life for some
feelings linger brief
emotions go and come 
 
Sadness can dwell
if one allows the thoughts
move them from our shell
something we are taught
 
So, one step at a time
I slowly take the pace
blessings shall be mine in
this lingering mental race

Rhoda's Message -

Feelings within My Heart...
 
Its been a long 22 months
with having Covid last year
 (from the hospital) to losing my
Gracie. Having Covid didn't help
with symptoms of light headiness
and balance issues. That was it
but the symptoms lasted well over
a year and a half. I am much better
but losing Gracie was a double
whammie...you know what I mean.
 
I am just not into writing at this
point of my life. All is well,
Rhoda can take care of Rhoda
but for writing just not into it!
 
So...letting you know, all who
read me, life is going on...I have a
Birthday on August 27th and I plan 
being around for many years to come...
with Ginger! Thank you for caring -

Gracie's on a Roll...

 

'Gracie on a Roll...' 
 
 It has been some time since I have posted.
I've had a rough year and a half with
going to the hospital (which I never have done)
to catching Covid there and such. I had to go
back to the hospital for 14 days...nothing to
serious other that dizzy and balance issues.
 
Then (my last posting) my kitty Gracie passed
away at the age of 16 1/2 years really 
floored me. She had a tumor on her
stomach and the Vet suggested no surgery
because of her age she could die on the
operating table. On October 23, 2024 she
went into my bedroom, laid under the dresser
by my slippers and just went to sleep (died).
I found her a couple of hours later and I 
made arrangements to bury her at a friends
house because the rules and such have changed
here at my apartment complex for seniors.
 
So...I am just now coming around but still have
my ups and downs losing my Gracie. Ginger who is
7 is not a friendly cat but, come bed time she always 
jumps on Mommy's bed purring and goes to sleep.
At my age I feel I shouldn't get another kitten...
  That's my story...
 
Blessing to you all from,
 
Rhoda and Ginger
