Communication is easy with patients like me: Meet @rfherald Apr 7, 2023 | By Rosemary, Volunteer Mentor (@rosemarya)Comment receiving replies
@yvie, I am happy to welcome you to Connect. I was riding in the car this afternoon with my husband when I read your own words of appreciation for the kind and caring messages that you have received from other member who have responded to your own story. I also want to commend you for the encouraging words you share with others!
I would like to share some groups that came to mind as I thought about you.
- What's outside of your picture window today?
The introduction to this group begins, "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."

I spend a lot of time in my recliner looking out the window in front of it. The window has a beautiful arch at the top of it from which I can see the sky and the beautiful stars when they appear at night. I use this time to speak to my Creator and thank Him for letting me live another day. I ask for guidance in how I should treat others and ask pardon for any irritation or rudeness I might have shown to those who have not treated me with kindness. I offer my suffering for those who cannot accept what is. If there are no stars shining in the heavens, I watch the heavy winds that blow and the torrential rains that fall and I tell myself “this too shall pass”….and it does!
