It's a beautiful July morning in the rockies. The mountains are green, the rivers are full, the flowers are in full bloom and I've been in remission for about 4 four weeks now....So why am I feeling so blue. I can usually smile my way through the down periods but I just can't seem to shake this off. The bigger picture just seems to keep getting bigger and bigger and BIGGER. I just turned 51 last friday, I'm in the middle of a divorce with a man that was recently diagnosed with Parkinsons disease. I feel like I'm just running out of steam. I'm so forgetful, oh, I just get so flustered with the whole mess!!! Is anyone out ther getting forgetful ? It could be just my age and oh yea..menopause. Let's throw that in there, like I don't have enough already to deal with.. Whatever does not kill you makes you strong...I don't think he ever wrestled with RA LOL Thanks for listening, I know you all understand!
Hi Nancy
Sorry your day is so down, mine was too until I heard the report from Colorado. I heard it's a beautiful day and the mountains are green, the rivers are full, the flowers are in full bloom, you have been in remission for four weeks and you had a birthday last week. How can I feel bad with all of that going on? Here in Virginia we have the mountains,rivers,flowers, etc. but it's hot and humid. Last week it was so hot that the corn in one of my neighbors fields actually popped on the stalk. When the breeze blew the corn across his pasture, two of his cows thought it was snow and they froze to death in the middle of July. Now that's hot!!!!
Wish I could help with the divorce, that is never easy. Especially with the Parkinson's probably making you feel like you should take on the caregiver role you have had for years. We will have to mark that up to one of those "makes you stronger" deals.
It seems like there was something else---Oh yeah, I wanted to say something about your memory loss. Wonder what I had on my mind?
MENOPAUSE-- Thank God I'm male and only have to be the bruisee. My wife has been going through it and accept for the occasional clothes flying off it has not been a pretty thing to witness. It's just another one of those things that helps make women stronger than men. "In the beginning God created man", that's because he knew we were slow and needed a head start. Stay strong.
If nothing else, I hope trying to decipher my goofy meanderings has taken your mind off the the blue day for a couple of minutes.
Have a better day!!
Chuck
Dearest Chuck...I just had time to read your comment as I was destroying our proof computer at work. LOL LOL I laughed so hard the customers up front wanted to know what was going on! THANK YOU, Thank you so much. I needed to see it from another perspective and you nailed it for me. Any time I can lend you a hand up, you just call. Now I'll go home feeling much better ,(at least much better than the computer laying in a mass on the floor) and look for my 10 year olds bunny that's been missing ALL day. SHHHH be berry berry quiet...we're hunting wabbut. Live, love, aand be happy
