Weather Or Not

Sep 27, 2007 07:11

The sunny days we've been enjoying this past week have given way to clouds and rain, but it's of the gentle, cleansing,soothing variety, that is easily as welcome as the energizing sunfilled days just past. Sometimes the weather seems to be so in synch with one's current emotions, or spirit's needs. Have you ever noticed that in your lives ( Read more... )

Sometimes it takes a "restful" day; mentally, emotionally and physically; to get us back to the point where we CAN take on the daunting pile of chores we set ourselves to doing. Today has been mine--I think I've slept almost 12 hours since eleven last night ( ... )

Yes, I too found that the full spectrum light bulbs helped. I no longer have the option of going for those winter walks I once so loved. Although I had knee replacement surgery last summer, ( not this one just past), I'm still not up to walking distances. My back and my other knee are not doing so well either. Now, I try to get outside and ride my stationary bike which is on my west facing, covered porch, every afternoon, in lieu of the walks, and get the dual benefits of the sunlight and the exercise.

I do remain mindful of all the other natural factors you mentioned in paragraph three. And, despite the colder winter temps., I always keep a window cracked for fresh air. ;

Thanks for "caring enough to send the very best"....advice, that is. ;)

Awww, don't pay any attention to the advice. I shed advice the way cats adore catnip--it's just a habit.

My back bothers me a bit too. I trenched over 100' around my new flowerbed using a spade fork while SITTING DOWN IN A CHAIR. I know I must have looked a sight, but it sure helped me get the job done.
Healing up from knee surgery while dealing with other health problems...that's enough to depress anyone. My best wishes to you!

Ouch! Who cares what it looks like, just so the job gets done, right? I let go of my vanity several years ago.
I don't mind advice....I'm quick to give it too. I hate to see anyone suffering needlessly if I know of something that might help them. You get to to my age, (61 in November), and you better have picked up some wisdom along the way, or you're nothing but an old fart!

Vanity and I waved goodbye years ago also or did I wave goodbye while it ran off crying? I don't remember.
Trust me when I say that if wearing a tutu and carrying a teddybear would make yard work EASIER, I'd do it.

What A hoot! I'm trying to picture that....hahaha!

rhodielady_47 October 2 2007, 15:35:44 UTC

Good! I made you laugh!
Now here's another giggle for you:
I went to a Ren Faire once that had a strolling character in it that called himself the "Fairy Godfather". Now imagine this: a middle-aged man in a tutu and rainbow-colored TIGHTS. He did seem to be happy with his lot in life...
:)

Hahaha! Good one! Thanks for the chuckle. Have a wonderful, stress-free day!

rhodielady_47 October 3 2007, 17:39:28 UTC

It'll be full of stress, but nothing I can't handle. I'll just go cut a stick and it will discover it has urgent things to do ELSEWHERE... LOL!

That's one thing about having terrible times in your past--it really brings the small, every day stuff into perspective.
;D

You'd think they would have come up a vaccine by now for my ailment...do you reckon that using an Ann Landers column as a patch would help?
;D

guavmom October 1 2007, 18:43:42 UTC

...and which partucular ailment would that be?

guavmom October 1 2007, 18:45:48 UTC

Oh! Duh! My bad. You mean the giving of advice. Damn Sam.... I have often felt guilty of thatmyself. Perhaps we could get a good deal on a gross of those patches and share the bounty, do you suppose?

rhodielady_47 October 2 2007, 02:14:33 UTC

(Whispers: That "giving out of advice" habit of mine.)

guavmom October 2 2007, 12:39:05 UTC

Yeah, I got it after a bit. When I'm in an "upset" phase, it is sometimes difficult to think clearly. Matter of fact, if I didn't know it was primarily stress related, I'd be afeared of the onset of senile dementia. Been transposing letters, a la dyslexia, missing points, and forgetting words for the last two weeks. Sorry. Once I am really totally back in balance my mental acuity will return. Please bear with me. I'm not generally this dense.

rhodielady_47 October 2 2007, 15:37:55 UTC

I'm not very good at handling stress either, so don't worry about that.

Until recently, I was able to pretty much transcend it, but my blood sugar has been seriously out of whack these last two or three weeks, ( I was diagnosed with Diabetes Type ll last year and have been trying to lower my BS ...yesterday, there was a 70+ difference between my morning, and afternoon readings, so I was dealing with mood swings resulting from first high, and then low blood sugar levels) . By the afternoon, I was in hysterical tears. When I'm having BS problems, it not only causes mood swings, but mental fogginess.

I know...too much information. :) I'm usually pretty sharp, and upbeat.

Thanks for your understanding!
