Happy Thanksgiving

Randy and I hope all of my family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Randy and I are going out to eat at Mimi's (we had to make reservations), I hope our family isn't upset that we didn't go to their place. I would have loved to but Randy is used to eating out or going to eat with families that are very small.

I know I said I was thankful for my health and maybe I should not have said anything so soon. I have since been having a lot of pain in my feet and my arm. Pain that comes and goes a lot and I have no idea why I am having it. I think my it's the fibromyalgia kicking in. But I feel a little better today.

The Holidays

I have never been big on the holidays since I was a kid. I think because I feel like I am pressed to do so much and not because I wanted to, but it is expected during the holidays. If you are not happy then there must be something wrong with you. That's how I feel it is sometimes.

I have decided to try and enjoy the holidays this year. I want to enjoy peace and love and not worry about all the commercialism and have a small Christmas Eve party at my home.

So we will probably go out for Thanksgiving and then enjoy a movie. John and Kathy will be with us and we can enjoy time with them as a family.

Thankful For My Health

After reading Tammy's post, I decided I need to write what I am thankful for. Today I am thankful for my health. My health is so much better than it has been for a long time. I owe a lot of this to Randy for making me feel happy again. Now he is having some health problems and I hope can help him get through them. I do have a wonderful family. I don't see them much but I love them all.

I am glad for my blessings that I enjoy. I am glad I have been able to rid myself of guilt for not living up to what I feel I should. I now understand that I am living as I feel is right and it has brought peace to me and ridden me from guilt and depression. I realize I need to find happiness from within and that it cannot be dictated to me from others. I believe my health has improved now that I have stopped feeling guilty.

Life is Hard Sometimes

Randy has always had a bad back but now he has hurt it some more. He has been in terrible pain for two weeks and could not take pain meds because they made him sick. He went to the Dr. yesterday and was given yet another pain med and so far this one has not made him sick.

A sad thing will happen tomorrow. Randy will put his cat Bud to sleep. He is old and senile and disoriented and very skinny and now he is having trouble with not using the litterbox and going any old place he sees fit to. Randy is very sad as he loves his animals just like kids. It is a hard time for him. But there is no treatment for this old cat and to leave him to live out his life would be hard on him and us and just postpone the inevitable.
