Great song, "Yesterday". I loved the Beatles, too.

In response to "Mum"

So sorry! Some memories do hurt, as this must, too.
Still, you did have a good time with her just before you left, and that's really something to be happy about.

In response to "Mum"

I am sorry for your loss. What a beautifully vivid image of a beautiful person in your life! Taking a "mind photograph" is something I have done before, too.

Great choice of artist and song. I love Yesterday, it's such a thought invoking song.

In response to "Chores"

I've been banned from ladders too. In 2021 I fell off a ladder 11 steps down, broke both of my feet painting the trim on our house before we sold it. I made the move to Las Vegas with my feet in air casts and crutches.

I would outsource window washing at this point, the list may grow as I age.

In response to "List"

I do chair yoga too, I enjoy it. I should check out one of the local pools, it would be a lot easier on my knee that hasn't recovered yet.

In response to "Letting go "

Yes, I agree.
I've let go of many things, but only after bugging myself for a few minutes or so. Yes, letting go helps most of the time, within reason.
And I remember that case. That is something I can't wrap my mind around, though. That man must have been a saint.

Thank you, Joy.i think we’re of that age group who tend to be too independent for our own good sometimes.

In response to "Asking for help"

I, too, am very reluctant to ask for help. My sons, especially the younger one, are always ready to help, but I don't ask them unless they ask me if I need this or that to be taken care of.
I hope your daughter heals and feels a lot better so you won't have to worry so much. I can see how difficult it is to be a parent especially in your case. Hang in there!

Stress

Prompt:
What drains your energy in your life? And in what ways can you stay grounded in stressful situations?

Other people drain my energy, especially ones who seem to enjoy making their lives and those of others miserable. I'm talking of someone very close to me and today she has gone too far. I've had to come to a conclusion, one I've reached many times and stupidly forgotten or should it be forgiven?
My husband and I find that a little walk in the park, watching little children play keeps us grounded and we try not to project what those innocent children's future will bring.

Stress is a killer and this week has been a bit of a test. We lost our beautiful dog after over 12 years. She has never given us stress in fact she's absorbed much of our stress in her own calm way. We certainly could have done without any added stress this week. This has only served to prove the time has come to say "No More!
