Living focused. Living well in the moment. Dealing with each situation, with all your thought processes. Works wonders to ease the anxiety, accomplish what needs to be done in a prompt, easier way. It's been a long time coming/learning this way of thinking. But, I am thankful for the lessons, for now having the ability to live today, now, remember yesterday sometimes, and not.....I say NOT...worry about tomorrow. God has control of my life. I am safe. I trust Him. I trust He got me to Mayo at the right time, to the right docs, to the best treatment. Now, I trust He will open their eyes and minds and I will be fine, whatever that is. Knowing I'm safe in His arms and in the doctors care gives me great strength to sleep restfully and wake up ready. Lori, @loribmt, you have this knowledge and peace.

Doesn't solve the issues or make plans or reno my condo, but does help with having peace that I am ok.

Each of you add to that comfort. My largest issue is the lack of family support. Rob and I must think and listen and make the decisions. But, we are putting together a circle of good support. That's a good thing. But, decisions for future are tough. No matter what help one may have.

A high school friend emailed me yesterday about a child she teaches music and his health challenges. My goodness. I'm so blessed. And, she is a special angel who just pops in and out of my life and gives me love and support and prayer from all her friends. Wow! pretty good, eh? My personal angel.

I've been keeping up with you all last few days, but taking it easy as I accept where I am now. Laurie, @artist01, you 'indeed have the wonderful smile from deep inside your heart that makes it all happen. Bless you as you deal with this mess and you will and are getting good help. Love it!

I'm afraid my patio feeder friends are somewhat on their own for the moment. I've ck'd them out, watched a bit, refilled some but that's about all. activity has slowed for the moment. But, as I put sunflower seeds and a new feeder and baffle....oh, just put out a bronze iron birdbath, with cranes holding the bath, and will add a water wiggler in couple of days for the birds and to fight the mosquitos and flies!!!!! Whey aren't they a good lunch for the woodpecker and other insect eaters?? I get eaten alive within seconds of stepping out the patio doors. and, with bad reactions to the bites! Off spray is handy....That's part of Florida living and heavy rains and water for animals.

Sue @sueinmn, I've so enjoyed your recent posts. Pics, and descriptions of family and flowers and furry friends....@johnbishiop, I think your last pics were fabulous. Thanks for the share. I'm ignoring the bird disease, fussing inside about it and feeding my friends. Don't think Fl is yet involved. All this nonsence must stop....covid, bird disease, fires, floods, and so on and on. I'm not thinking about it as I can't solve any of it. I'm focusing on my small little bubble on this earth.

God bless you all and be well. Be at peace. Smile from deep inside your soul.

Thanks for the day brightener. I just need to temember to share this beauty. This summer we are focusing on spontaneous patio gathering s with neighbors. Low key no preparation. Just share a beverage and snack and visit.
Enjoy your patio improvements

@ess77 you write si beautifully. I just love reading your postings. My gardens aren’t photo-worthy but here is a cute one of Poppy! We had friends over and poor Poppy was just worn out and fell asleep on my lap. He always has his tongue out!
