Resting … that’s exactly what me and Frankie are doing today, albeit, because of the dysmal weather …

Lately I find myself saying to my husband, “Let’s rest a bit before: doing the dishes, making the bed, emptying the trash, paying the bills.”
I head for the computer. He heads for the recliner chair.

Spent labour Day in the Emergency department. About 7.5 hours. Restful? Not sure I’d call it that BUT I did meet and connected with the most interesting people. We’ll no never talk or meet again and therefore, we could talk freely to one another. It was a beautiful experience – minus the reason I was there!

I’m so sorry and hope everything is okay
now. I really do love your positive take on this and how you turned it around. one of my favorite things to do is to talk to strangers, and like you, it’s usually a wonderful experience. good for you –

Yes, I’m better now and Thank You for your concern :D
The most lovely thing about my experience that day was that the folks I talked to initiated the conversation with me! All I had to do was listen and respond. Funny how when we’re in a situation that’s not pleasant or familiar, we look for comfort and connection.
Have a GREAT day! ❤️

ahhh so it was a public holiday; this would explain, Bob says, why your post got NO responses for over 8 hours; thankfully they have come in since :)

I needed this quote! It’s hard for me to slow down and rest. So much to do! But I always do better when I’m rested.
