Woke up with the phone ringing, it was the receptionist at the dentist office letting us know, he had to cancel our appointment - which was for today...so that was that - a lovely day and so great no need to rush for the dentist. This is sometimes a problem - that is - going somewhere for a specific time..no matter how often I try to make sure all the clothes are set up the night before, or whatever is needed for the occasion is right there, we always seem to have something to hold us up making it a kind of rush..so it was with a feeling of relief that I was helping Mac to get into his clothes, and of course it went very easily..as there was absolutely no rush. So I was saying just that, there is no rush, good eh...when he said.."anyway, I don't know where we live".
This was sad so I said , "do you feel bad that you don't know"...Well I have you, so you know, and that makes it o.k. BUT, I wouldn't be without YOU". Well i answered that makes two of us, I wouldn't be without YOU. That is so true, and so inwardly I was thinking, but the day will come, what will I do...and was starting to feel a bit down...but later as I got on my computer, it was as if my friend (whose husband also has similar problems) wrote me an email...short and sweet...all it said was, Dear Jan, One Day at a Time...
it was almost as if she read my mind and was giving me some advice ...nothing new but what a good thought...
So the day progressed beautifully, as we took our great grandbaby Finley for a walk along the river, she was perfect ...smiled, laughed and gurgled perfectly the whole time, even though she only managed to sleep for 45 minutes she seemed quite happy and we were too. As we walked I pointed out homes that belonged to our daughter Glenna and our son Les, and homes that belonged to some of our friends..I'm sure he didn't recognize any of them, or even perhaps their names..but his walking was stronger and his outlook was so positive..
When we returned to Finley's home we had a lovely snack with tea..and discussed the prime subject Finley, and what a happy time as she laughed and gurgled with her uncle Brandon and her mom Brianna.
One day at a time is a good way to think, and as we drove home, Mac said "where do we live" I said - same old place...on Montcalm' with that answer he was content - and so endeth this day and with that kind of philosophy we will continue to be content...hope...g'nite.
