Life can hurt
- One Day You Are Fine
- The Next Day You Feel Okay
- The day after you wonder what it was that happened to make everything seem different
- Pretend nothing is different so that you don't upset others
- Pretend nothing is different so you can change your reality
- Act your way through each day
- Try to keep up
- Try to remember what it was like to be 'Fine'.

Were we not told to NOT hang around bad people because it'll be reflected upon us and our character ? Then why the hell would you vote for somebody like her?
I literally cannot understand how folks today can justify voting for Hillary Clinton or any of her ilk and act like it's okay or morally the right thing to do.You did have the choice to do the right thing for the country , not yourself , the country , and you didn't .
It's disgusting and it actually says more about YOUR character than it does the person you're voting for.
I have noticed a great uptick in the instances of people lying and people accepting that people do so and then it comes zero consequences... were you not told in school, or when you were a young child by your parents that you shouldn't be hanging around people like that? Remember being told that you are who you hang around?
I think a large part of that is that for 20 or 30 years the parents themselves behave like that themselves and don't think twice about acting like fools or teaching their children the Golden Rules , so the child has no hope. Nobody to look up to. The parents have left the building.
And if that IS okay with you I'm letting you know that it's NOT okay with me..
I don't want to hang around anybody who believes like that and who thinks that it is okay to be deceitful people .. I prefer to surround myself with people I can trust and whom I don't have to second guess what they're telling me.
Why would you want it any other way?
How do you live with yourself knowing that you look up to people who can't tell the truth or steal from you with a smile on their face?

Apparently there is a line
Some families consider blood thicker than water and other family groups don't. I belong to both and it kills me.

Heeelllooooo!
Its been an eventful/uneventful summer. Mainly pretty reflective.... Spent most of my days puttering around and working on regaining strength and working on the house. Jimmy and I went to Eureka Springs and I got to try out my 'driving -longer -distances' part of my brain, and the ever loving, 'driving -on -mountain -roads -with- switchback' part of my brain, both of which worked fine! (BIG YEA!) It was soooooo nice to escape from Memphis and get out in nature. Need to do it more often. We are thinking of going to Sedona in the fall, and maybe Wyoming at Christmas. I hope so. I just hope my 'flying- in- plane ' part of my brain is up to it!
Apparently that's why they made seats 1A , xanax and Amaretto Di Sarona for....;)
Nick went to Florida to visit with dad for a couple of months, and is back now and ready to get back to college. He will be moving out here soon. I'm so old....and this subject is what caused at least half of my reflectivity this summer. Nick and the following:
Gary had a aneurysm burst while he was by himself at home about a week after my surgery. It was a miracle he survived alone, but that he made it through surgery was just another...His wife Ann has been by his side for 3.5 months. He was making progress after 3-4 weeks at Baptist Hospital here in Memphis, enough so that he could be taken to The Shepard Center in Atlanta for rehab http://www.shepherd.org/. He was doing well, had a couple infections, got over them, had a shunt put in, was doing better, and then for some reason started struggling w/ pressure issues and then pneumonia. He passed away and into Heaven at 11:45PM August 7th. Our hearts have been heavy, as we miss him and hurt for his wife Ann...but we also are thankful he is where he is now and no longer in pain and not knowing the boundaries of the human body. God Bless you Gary-We Love You.
Healing is continuing for me and my noggin. I was able to get my hair colored to its original color in July finally ( I'm one of those people who has been naturally blessed with golden blonde hair-ha ha), and so it was nice to come out of Juv'e ( the place where I go...highly recommend) and still have my scalp intact and not bleeding from all the chemicals (hmmmm, same chemicals I've been putting on my scalp for how many years....) When ALL of my hair follicles start growing out gray then I will stop doing this insanity.
I still get tired late in the day and sometimes feel like I need to shut my eyes,but for the most part I feel a whole lot better than I did before surgery! The steroids and lack of movement prior to and after surgery did cause me to put about 10 pounds on, so I am in the midst of working on getting that taken care of. Recently started mountain biking again. I love riding, but had to put that aside for many months prior to surgery because of dizziness and sight issues, but have started up again and just love it! I also love Wii- Pretty good at the hula hoops....
Well, I have to go run some errands. Hope to hear from you all sooner than later.
