Hi dear DB and All Reading,
I'm home again and Mum is still in hospital, she hopes to be able to return home tomorrow. A sibling of mine is going to assist Mum tomorrow.
Mum told me she didn't need to see me today so I have telephoned her a couple of times to make sure she is okay. Her overnight stay turned into a 4 night stay due to complications.
I've been doing a lot of praying and worked really hard to make the most of what ever happened. I'm trying to recall all of the lovely moments and to let go of the stuff that was not so pleasant.
Each day I managed a walk on the beach, sometimes by myself which gave me a chance to just chill out.
On one occasion I was taking a photo of some shells I placed all in a line on the beach. When I turned around, I had about a dozen seagulls watching me, probably hoping I had food and not just shells!
DB thanks for your instructions and message, I had already left before I saw what you had written.
This last week has helped me regain confidence in myself and my ability to deal with issues. I didn't always do well, and that is okay too!
Now to start making the most of each day in what ever way I can to help build up my resilience once again! To keep reminding myself that people can say what they like, I don't have to take their words or actions to heart!
I have also started to read a Christian book about hope and growth. It seemed that when ever I picked it up to read it, the bits of instruction I needed were right there in words to help me along!
Hope you are doing okay DB and same to all who are reading.
Oh yer, I came home to a sink full of dirty dishes! I told myself I can be thankful I have a husband, thankful we have water for dishes and thankful I have the ability to wash them!
Cheers all from Dools
