I feel a need to protect my Energy and enjoy life while I can

 I once watched Dr. William Tollefson giving a lecture years ago in Cocoa..about survival, energy, recovery, healing ... Years later I feel the need to grab onto my energy to enjoy  the years of life my Slow Progression with ALS is granting me... I have a beautiful family whom have filled my life and still do... but at my age.. and empty nest applies... Seniors go to the experience of facing an empty nest... I, on the other hand... experienced and empty nest in troubled waters... left the troubled waters and faced a different scenario..:. happy times and ALS...Time went by... life went on and suddenly out of the blue, lucky for me... life played tricks on me... made me enjoy life in a different way... what can I say... I'm faced in between ALS... happy times and empty nest... I'll be fine with an Empty nest because the birds flew to better places and grasped their own happiness... Happy times, oh  my oh my.. I'm facing it and I don't want to loose it.. ALS, no one can stop it... why drain my energy instead of saving energy..

Trying to work on sculpture ! Disappointment

I had this brilliant idea of taking this course... requiring lots of hands dexterity... big mistake. Lost my money, came out frustrated and so disappointed.  To me disappointment is the worse feeling, however, I got a good lesson out of this experience.....  "know my limitations and not to try to do what I can no longer do"... Sadly.....nothing can be done but...... to look forward and find things I can do ! Enjoy life, be happy, love the important people in my life with all my heart, the one who makes me laugh, who flies me to the moon and back, who helps me play among the starts and find meaning in life.

Keith Urban - Making Memories Of Us

I Can and I will

What ever I set my mind to do.... I'll do

Blue and blue

Sometimes I feel blue, I feel I loose strength.... Do I walk with a strong image ? Everyone expects a lot from me. I'm doing the best I can to enjoy my life and be happy. I need this. Why do I need to be tested ? I'm physically independent ....yes I know my limitations and If  I say I'm going for my happiness, is because I know I can... and I will.  Sometimes I just need support, sometimes I just need someone to tell me everything is going to be fine.  Is it  I don't deserve this ? I sure believe I do. I need people to be happy for me. How can I ever sail out to reach my dream if I don't leave the shore ? Time is a luxury for me and I don't want to waist one minute of if.... however short, however long. And I will not ask myself, why ? why me ? It is what it is... it's for me to face and make the best out of it. I'm sure not missing my train.

A dream is just a dream

Dreams fade away.... dreams are never here to stay, trying to hold on to your dreams is painful at the end. Memories are real, so creating memories is better than dreaming. Be real

Better

My journey

my sunshine

Some times it gets tough, it's hard for people to understand when they are not in your shoes, therefore, what you do, might not make sense to some. Happiness is yours alone.. to fill your own life with joy, You have to try to reach it. Make it happen !  I need a reason to live. ! I have a reason to live ! and I'm going to live it to it's fullest.

Happiness

 My happiness is coming rapidly ... Everything looks beautiful, every thing has meaning, even with the gray sky I get to see the sun.
My beautiful daughter in law, is making my life a living joy. I thought I would miss my home and decorating for Xmas.. with all my craft store as the boys "described it"... but quite the contrary, watching her put up all the decorations.. everything has a place, everything gives it the Season's spirit. Giving life to the funny tree ! awe.. couldn't be better.
I've been thrown a SPELL ... only have eyes for joy, laughter, love.
Happy Holidays eveyone.

Just finding the best out of any situation

Today

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another island. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.” – Henry David Thoreau

nobody knows what will happen in the future! Think about how much better life would be if we lived each day like it was our last…
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way!” How many times have we heard this? But how true it is. Without our will, we are nothing.
