Granny's gone and done it again

Good morning everyone.

Trying to explain to miss Kira that even though I’m up at quarter to five on Wednesday’s does not mean it’s party time. Oi.

How long has it been since youve seen them? You worry too much. I bet they will be very happy to see you!

Pre covid.

during covid mom developed allergies to everything and flare ups can be miserable. I’m just worried about what happens if something I use sets her into a flare or…

That and yes. I do love my mom but she thinks herself the alpha mom knows best even in my own house - which can be quite frustrating. Especially since I have no time off with work anymore I’m sure I’ll come home to rearranged kitchens and gosh knows where anything is. (She’s done that before)

Buy her a puzzle or something she likes to do. Give her a chore you can live with.

Today, August 30th, is National Grief Awareness Day…

Why do I write so much about grief?
Because, like love, grief is the one thing we will all know in this life.
We will all grieve, we probably are all grieving in some way, right now.
To love is to grieve. To live is to lose.
And yet there is still stigma and silence around those ‘stuck’ in their new world of grief.
We usher and rush them along to join back in with the rat-race of life.

But they do not need reminders of their struggling, they already know.

They need to hear others talking about grief, see others sharing their stories and feel safe to grieve wherever they are.

They need more light on the darkest areas of this life, we all do.

To love is to grieve, to live is to lose, so let’s stop whispering and shunning those in pain and start asking the questions and mentioning lost loved ones names without ‘fear’ of the reaction.

They can’t hurt more. That is already happening.

But they can hurt less, and time is not the sole healer we think it to be.

Time creates a capacity to process and accept yes… but it’s the talking that heals, the sharing that strengthens and the ‘using love as the lead’, that lets joy come back on in…

And that’s why I have chosen this piece today… love came first.

I have a fan under my front porch but we never sit out there anymore. Robert installed it.

We are building another butterfly garden in front of the area where we can sit in the mornings or afternoons and watch the butterflies and humming birds. I may start photographing some again once the bushes mature if I can. My neighbor that I've been supplying eggs to came down and installed for me. I don't use ladders anymore. I still take vertigo meds and still get off balance once in awhile. It's not worth the risk now.
