What's outside of your picture window today?

Posted by John, Volunteer Mentor @johnbishop, Nov 25, 2020

As we get ready for the real winter to show up and COVID-19 still playing a major part in our lives I like to spend moments of my day de-stressing about what's going on in the world today. All I have to do is look out the window and observe some of natures beautiful creatures, how they interact and ponder how small it makes my troubles seem. Sometimes I may even get the opportunity to take a photo or two. How about you? Anything going on outside of your window(s) that you want to share?

For those members that have the ability to size your photos before you upload them to the discussion, may I suggest using the following sizes:
– 500 x 335 pixels (landscape)
– 210 x 210 pixels (square)

@sueinmn, @artist01, @athenalee, and all...Glad to relieve your mind, Sue. I had visions of me doing the same thing but I don't have a lunch date coming by, so I guess I'd still be there....on the floor. What a horror story for all of us. Yes, ma'am, I'll wear the darn thing. Paying for it and want it. Probably put the little base thingy beside the bed just in case and wear the pendant all day I'm up Actually can call that a birthday gift to myself! Turned 75 yesterday, 6th. Could be one reason for the sad day as I got no calls from family or friends. We who live alone often celebrate alone. This year wasn't fun. But, I'm over it now and happy to be this age, just recognize how yucky growing old can be. An acceptance, I think.

Off for dinner. Blessings to you all. elizabeth

The orchid photo you added is gorgeous Elizabeth @ess77! Not sure why the others didn't go unless they were too big (over 5 MB) . Here's the post with the "how to upload photos" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/608932/.

@jakedduck1 Hi Jake! and @athenalee . Yes, Jake, I still live in B.C. However, life has been hectic lately. I was moved from Campbell River Assisted Living facility to Long Term Care facility in Victoria, both on Vancouver Island, and very far from my family. After much determined trying, I won my case that Long Term Care was wrong for me. All staff and the doctor who interviewed me here agreed with me. It's been a nightmare here, but just this week, I was accepted BACK into an Assisted Living facility, near my family, in the Okanagan Valley, at Osoyoos, BC. It's a long story, but the final happy outcome is that my sons and their wives are making the long trip to move me on February 22nd. We're all elated!! P.S. @athenalee, Athena, I included you in on this message to further my too-short and vague message earlier today! My warmest wishes to both you and Jake, and all. Laurie
