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.....

My Latest Travel Adventure

I took my first flight in almost a year..these days flying sucks with all of the security measures in place. It could and would have been worse if I were not a wheelchair passenger, which enabled me to speed through the security process. Both going and returning I was assigned a seat described as 'having some drawbacks'...there was no window, which proved to be good for me because I was able to read my book without glare.

I went to Atlanta for Pam, my number 1 daughter's early retirement celebration. In addition to that I had the pleasure of having lunch with some of my former co-workers from TWA in NYC... Many former TWA employees relocated to Atlanta. I had not seen some of them since the 1980s. One very special friend took half of a vacation day off from work and drove 50 miles to see me, which made me feel so very special and humble.

Colette, my youngest daughter and her daughter, Noelle, also went to Atlanta completing our immediate family; as my middle daughter Toni, her daughter and granddaughters also live in Atlanta. It was an awesome celebration. I will add pictures if I can .

WELCOME BACK TO THE BUNNI TRAIL!

It's been quite a while since my last post.

Thanks for your interest in me and what's happening in my life.

Noelle, my youngest grandchild, encouraged me to continue my blog.

I hope I never bore or disappoint you... I find my life less exciting that I would choose if I could choose. But I still consider myself blessed with the gifts and options that I have, especially when I see others who are much less fortunate than I am.

I would like your comments.. They probably would help me decide what to share and definitely encourage me to blog again.

Come back soon.
