Timeless love
Some of us need someone to grow old with. I know I chose to be single for the rest of my life but I still feel this need to have someone with me in the twilight of my life. Someone to talk to. Someone to share things with. Someone to hold on to when life isn’t going the way you planned it.
Someone.
I hope you have someone with you to grow old with.
Happy weekend everyone!
Three years since
They will be celebrating their 3rd year as a couple. My friend Rhea is asking me to help her think of Boyfriend Gift Ideas. She wants to give her boyfriend a very special gift but she still has no idea what to give him.
To his credit, Henry is not a demanding boyfriend or even a picky one. He is very appreciative even of the little things that she gives or does for him. He’s been that way ever since she met him and he hasn’t changed since then. He already has a gift for her and he’s ready for their weekend getaway.
Now I need to do some sleuthing so I can find out what Henry wants.
As strong as…
…steel buildings. As sturdy as one. That’s what he plans to be by the time he reaches his 40th birthday. He plans to be the solid foundation whom everybody runs to. He plans to be the anchor and glue that will make the family stick to each other through good and bad times.
He is consciously going down the right path. He is doing everything, taking steps, to be as good a person as he can be. It isn’t easy with all the temptations around him. But he is focused and determined to be that person he’s always wanted to be.
Dreaming out loud
You have to speak your dream out loud.
- Kelly Corrigan
I remember reading about what we can do about our dreams. We need to focus on it. We can pin up a photo of what we are dreaming about so that we are always reminded of it. And we can speak of it out loud!
I had this really fancy couch that I want. I saw it in a newspaper lifestyle article. What I did was I clipped it and put it on a notebook. I haven’t bought a similar couch yet but I can proudly say that I can buy one now.
Line of communication
I think when it comes to medical issues and stuff medical professionals should always have one continuous line of communication. I mean it would be to the benefit of the patients if doctors can easily find one another even if they are states or countries apart. It will be easier for them to help each other out in curing diseases, don’t you think?
Can you imagine how easy it would be to find Terry Perrine MD if there is just one network to connect all doctors? Well, let me tell you this. Doximity.com is the very network that can be the line of communication between doctors! Explore the possibility now.
Beyond death
Death is a part of life. It is not the end but a chapter. We don’t know what comes after it but we can assume an adventure awaits us.
That’s what I want to think of. It’s good to think something is beyond death and I get to enjoy it.
I feel that it is unfair for people who suffered for them to think life ends with just death. Wouldn’t it be more cool to look forward to an adventure once suffering ends?
How do you view death?
Memories of rocking chairs
When I was young I remember being so excited whenever I saw a rocking chair. I always saw one when we go to the province to visit my mom’s relatives. I was a little girl and I couldn’t reach the floor. But I still managed to rock the chair and enjoy myself each time I get to sit on one.
As I grow older, I notice that old people love to sit on rocking chairs. They sit on it to nap or to pass the time by.
And you know what? My desire to own a rocking chair is now a thing of the past. I still like to sit on it when I see one but I don’t like to see it at home.
Mad just thinking about it.
She doesn’t smoke. She is diabetic but she is very careful with whatever she takes and the stuff she eats. So when she found out she has cancer, she was so baffled she just slumped on the nearest chair and stared into space for an hour or so. She couldn’t believe it!
So she did some sleuthing and do you know what she found out? It’s due to actos! She got cancer from actos and it’s making her so mad just thinking about it. How can a medicine for diabetes turned her into a cancer patient?
She will file a case after she consults an expert lawyer about it.
On friendships…
Sometimes, no matter how much you hold on to something, you eventually lose it. You have no choice but to let it go.
This happens to friendships. No matter how good a friendship you have with someone, circumstances will set you apart. It’s good if it’s just a temporary setup. But it could be permanent. I lost quite a number of friends already. With some, it’s a choice I made. With others, I had no control of. All of it I regret in varying degrees.
I have a few friends left that I treasure. I am hoping that they will stay as my friends for the rest of my life.
Loud sounds and growing older
 |
I get massive headaches from loud noise!  |
I realized that as you grow older, your sense of hearing tends to become more sensitive. Whereas before I can tolerate loud sounds, these days it make me dizzy.
When we are watching our favorite tv shows at home, I would really lower the volume during commercial breaks. And when everyone is talking at the same time, I shush them and tell them to talk softly or lower their voices. Whenever the pup barks, I ask someone to check immediately so the pup will stop barking.
Loud sounds now are a no-no whenever I am around.
Saddened over what happened.
I felt sad over what I heard of a former neighbor’s current situation. His kid has cleft lip and it’s a birth defect. He and his wife are taking action by filing a Topamax lawsuit. The drug caused the birth defect and they want something done about it.
The debated whether to take action against the drug company but according to the one who told me about my former neighbor’s situation they really had to. They want justice for what happened to their kid. And I wish I can help them with their current predicament. Too bad they now live in another country.
I am just glad they are going to ask help from O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath – Personal Injury Lawyers – 808 West Avenue, Austin, TX. 78701 – 512-494-9949.
Sleep is necessary.
On this day, God wants you to know
… that sleep and rest are all part of the divine order. Don’t make your waking life and responsibilities so important that you neglect the very real benefits of sleep, rest, and dreaming. The night is your time of restoration. It is essential. God made both day and night for a reason.
I haven’t been sleeping properly for the past decade. There’s just too many things that needed sorting out and well, let’s just say that my mind won’t stop turning until I am really exhausted. And I don’t easily get exhausted. So you can just imagine how long my mind kept turning and turning and sorting the chaos that’s in it.
But sleep is necessary. Our bodies need to recover from the activities of the day to prepare for tomorrow. These days, I am trying to sleep as much as I can. Especially on weekends. If there’s really many tasks to do, I try to catch some sleep in between. Even a 15-minute power nap is enough to keep me going for the next few hours.
Words and hearts
Words can easily hurt just like any other weapon out there. You can say something to a person and it will hurt him not only the very minute he heard it but again and again whenever he hears it in his head. That hurt will fester in the person’s heart and will turn into deep anger, the one which you can’t erase from your heart no matter how many “sorry” and “I forgive you” are uttered.
So take care of the words you say.
All of us are going through something in our lives and you don’t know how your words can add to that something a person carries in him.
Late night drinks
Friends both from college and from work would normally come over on Friday nights and on weekends for late night drinks. She bought patio furniture at PatioFurnitureUSA.com and she is using her patio to entertain guests. She used to entertain guests in her living room but it was so cramped with her bookshelves that she thought of making use of the space she has outside the house.
She loves entertaining at home. She thrives in her weekly late night drinks with friends. It doesn’t always have to be beer or wine. Sometimes they just stay at the patio late into the night talking and eating pizza and drinking cold water.
Question raised
I’ve been hearing a question raised during a discussion with friends about perfumes and other products in the market: is animal test safe? People are becoming more and more concerned about the role animals are playing in becoming testers of various products.
My friends and I talked about it because we all have pets at home and, well, we are concerned about the treatment their kind is getting out there.
