Be Thankful!






















Good Eventide, or whatever is the appropriate greeting to you, in your part of the world! It is still 'light out'; it is becoming lighter, with each passing day!

Yesterday was an 'interesting' day. Thank you Kris, for your comment. Much appreciated.

Long bittidz story made tidbitz 'short!' Well, I will endeavour to do my best there. Alan's Mum went into hospital / emergency yesterday. She has chosen to go off her food and medication. Hmmmmm. Even with the capable help that Alan has wonderfully organized for his parents. It would appear that his Mum is dying from a BROKEN HEART. ie as to how Alan's other siblings have behaved and conducted themselves throughout. I have been married to Alan for 5 yrs; and he is one 'gem of a guy'. He has been the 'scapecoat' or 'whipping boy' by his older siblings for all these years. Shame on them!

So, if there are any family clan members, alerted to this blog, this is the tidbit truth of the matter. Sadly, her system is wearing down; however, if she was to be given positive reinforcement by her other children, we feel this would make a major difference to whether she lives or she dies. Any of you ever watch the movie, 'The Contender?' Ironically, we saw it last night. I see lots of similarities; ie by their own bittid discrepancies, that they do not wish to be exposed for. Instead, they go out of their way to hurl abuse; and at the same time, 'running away' from what is the ACTUAL truth. - much like the Congressman, at the end of the movie! Hmmmmmm. It is often said, that 'those 'guilty' doth protest too much'; and thus far by 'THEIR own words, actions, and deeds', they have convicted themselves.

Reasurring news is, that the Mum now has a bed; and once she is deemed to be okay by the doctors, she will be released from hospital. She is being 'fed' intravenously with medications and liquid nutrition. Meanwhile Alan's Dad is staying with us; in our tid second bedroom. He had a 'nap', 'wolfed down' a grilled ham and cheese sandwich; along with some awesome Guacomole Chips! Mmmmmm. Yum!

Alan was at various appointments this afternoon. The Emerg will not take responsibility for Alan's Dad; a) he is in good physical shape and does not need to be there and b)with his dementia, 'they' do not want him 'wandering about' in the ER section. Possibly makes a bit of sense. It is very tough for the Dad; particularly at this late stage in his life; because he is feeling the grief and pain his beloved wife is going through. Perhaps, some of you have had the experience and / or empathy for someone you know / knew, that died of a "broken heart?"

We are meeting tonight with the tenant (where we used to live; wrote about her in earlier summmer posts)and she is vacating; as Alan's parents will be moving in there; within the next tid bit.. We are Praying too, that Alan's Mum will feeling a bit tid better; so that she can reasonably handle the move. We are awaiting also, to hear what the doctors have to suggest. There are pros and cons. However, we will consider all factors; and will do whatever is best to maintain a happy quality of life for Alan's parents.

Tidbit - Do the best you can with what has been given to you. We rely on Him for His Help. The Dad was feeling a bittidy 'teary' after his 'contemplative nap'; so, I said a Prayer out loud to Him, to uplift both our spirits. That helped! You can refer to yesterday's post, re: just 'leaving it all to Him' to work out.

Bittid - When you see someone else having challenges, it makes you forget all about your own tidbitty 'stuff'. When you 'give', you do feel so much better! And, just as important, Thank Him all the more, for your Blessings.

I LOVE the above photo image! Interestingly enough, when I took our Blue out this am for his morning constitution in amongst the snow, I could hear the singing sounds of robins! Coincidentally, the above picture, is very similar to me, when I was a child of that age! I think 'a lot of us' (little girls) looked like that! LOL! Carefree, no worries in the world! A child's happy world!

Good Night and God Bless.
