June 14th

Yes, I missed a couple of days but it was not due to any setback! Thankfully. 😃

When one is dealing with one’s health, one is either moving forward or spiraling downward.  In this case, I was busy moving forward. 

On Friday, I was working outside – cleaning up after the storm and getting some fresh air.  Very beneficial when one is in recovery mode – especially from a respiratory flare up.

Yesterday, I was doing a deep clean in our bedroom – stripping our bed, washing our blinds/blackout curtains, vacuuming, and dusting everything including the walls and ceiling.  When you live in southern Saskatchewan, have a yard full of dirt,  sand,  trees,  AND a Molly dog who drags everything from outside inside, dust is a constant battle.

Unfortunately, when I am not feeling well, and I am taking medication that makes me feel worse, my motivation to keep up with the dust spirals along with  everything else.  This of course does nothing to help my lungs recover. 🤷‍♀️

So,  feeling well enough to roll up my sleeves and get to work on some  cleaning is a serious step forward in my recovery! 😚

Today, I am just relaxing in my new hanging egg chair, about to read a couple of chapters in my latest book by John E. Sarno – “The Divided Mind – The Epidemic of Mind-body Disorders“. 

That’s it for today. Take care and have a great day! 💞🌞

Dan is still working on my planter stand, but my little flowers are happy sitting in the sunshine!

  2. Great news that you finally felt well enough to do that deep clean, Anne – I’m sure your lungs will thank you for it. Your egg chair looks and sounds like it’s going to be a good spot for you.

  8. I Love that you have a comfortable egg chair! And your flowers look beautiful. We have a lot of dust where we live with dirt trails across the street for the horses that live in our town! It never ends the amount of dust and dirt to clean. 🤗
    I also wanted to let you know I’ve reconnected with my son after a long 3 year silence. It is bittersweet as he is now legally separated and will be getting a divorce next year. The kids are here in California with their Mom and her family. My son is in Arizona and will stay there to fulfill job obligations. Our reconnecting was last month. So many emotions, but I’m super happy to finally talk to him again. He has come for a visit too. I feel blessed. He has a long road ahead of him but he now has family support. I just had to let you know. You’ve been so kind and supportive in the past. I hope your health keeps improving and that you are enjoying life to its fullest. 🤗❤️

  9. Oh Diana! I am SO happy for you! I am sorry about you son’s divorce. That is a difficult situation that never ends when children are involved. But I hope that overall it works out for the best for everyone. My son Dan divorced years ago, remarried, and now has the life he always wondered. He is married to a wonderful woman, they have a his, hers, and theirs family and they all work (and play) hard to make it work. Thank you for the update. You just made my morning! 💞🤗
    This dust is relentless! We have air purifiers in the livingroom, kitchen, and our bedroom. When I am not dusting, I am vacuuming air purifier filters. 😂

  10. Thank you so much Anne! It’s good to know about your son Dan. It gives me hope that happiness is around the corner, well, I know it’s a long road ahead. Luckily, they are both amicable with each other and want what’s best for the kids. I’ve seen the grandchildren once briefly but my daughter-in-law wants her children to have a relationship with me again which is nice. I have no expectations, one day at a time. ❤️

  11. Things are looking great around your place Anne. I am glad you are still doing okay health wise. You have come a long way for sure. That is a great photo of you and you look amazing. It was good to see Molly. She is all relaxed, not a care in the world while you clean up what she tracked in. 😊 Keep enjoying your egg chair and your reading.

  12. Thank you, Mags! I spent the morning watering our garden and cleaning the area between our garage and the neighbour’s. The cleaning was hard work but I am so happy that I was able to finish it. 💪 Have a great rest of your day! 💞

  14. I am so glad that you have gotten to see the grandchildren and that your DIL is being amicable about you having a relationship with them. We were super close to my daughter’s children and then we did not see them for 3 or 4 years. It was different (and awkward) especially for Prim but things are good now. Dan has driven Maddy (or gone driving with Maddy) a lot in the past two years so they have gotten very close. The only thing that Prim remembers well is that we always made special meals when they came. Now she randomly calls to ask if she can pop over for lunch or supper. Of course we are always happy to have her. I only mention it because especially your granddaughter might drop some little clue as to what stuck with her over the past few years. It might help you to rebuild trust and familiarity with her to make note of it.
    Good luck moving forward – to all of you. 💞

  15. That is so good to know. I do feel a bit awkward I must say, uncharted waters for sure and I will look for clues of things my granddaughter may remember! Being away for 3 years is a long time. And I am hoping to have a good relationship with both of them eventually. They are 5 years apart, so it will be interesting to see how this goes and pray for much healthier days ahead for all of us! Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean so very much to me!.💞

  16. I just wanted to give you a heads up. Kids have such a unique view of things. When my Mom passed, Genie was quite young and she heard us talking about who would get what of her belongings. Afterwards, Genie asked me who would get the Dollar Store ceramic frog sponge holder I have on our kitchen sink. You could tell she had her fingers and toes crossed that something that special could possibly go to her. It still cracks me up. 😂
