About this time last year, I was preparing both physically and emotionally for my July 1st Rotator Cuff surgery. I refer to my May bath tub fall as a blessing in disguise. Why? Because the post surgery pain medicine that was prescribed also alleviated the back pain that had made my life miserable for so many years. I'm blessed that I no longer need to get the epidural injections every 6 months for back pain. Because our blessings come in so many different forms, we don't always recognize them as such.

The Bereavement Group wasn't what I expected.. Repeating my situation every week was like picking a scab off a wound.
Medication and individual grief counseling worked for me. I

seldom cry any more, but sometimes I miss San so much that my heart actually hurts. After 60 years together, I guess it is impossible not to miss having him in my life. When I wake up after dreaming of him in an every day situation, it's almost like he's still here. It truly helps me to deal with living without him.

ME

I might not be the most beautiful person or have the perfect body.
I might not be the first choice, but I am a GREAT choice!
I don't pretend to be some one else, because I am too good at being ME.
I might not be proud of some of the things I've done..
But I am proud of who I am today.
Take me as I am...or watch me as I go!

I hope you enjoy living your life and being YOU!!

eReaders

Do you have an eReader? If yes, tell me about yours. I just got an Amazon Kindle. I haven't downloaded any books or music yet, but I'm excited about owning one.

I spend lots of time waiting for and riding buses [I don't drive] and like most people my age I spend a lot of my time in medical offices.

Though I haven't actually used it yet, I like the features. I can just slip it into my purse, regardless of the number of pages...having reading matter and music all combined in a handy size unit. Having choices available for my mood with no actual planning for that day/time. It also automatically returns to where I left off.

Sounds awesome to me.....
