Happy Tuesday!

  1. Where and how do you come up with these pics? I am with Eva, I love lavender and blues. Today's pic is really cheery.
    I am hoping Phooey is okay. He has been silent for a while. Egad, I hope it wasn't me.

    There was a time when I thought I would sail through the aging of my body. I was after all healthy, strong and active. I had a lot of hope about aging well. I had armed myself with information about nutrition and health. It only took one minor knee surgery that didn't turn out right to totally mess up my life. I would love to have my life back. All around me I see folks dealing with all sorts of issues.

  2. I make a goodly number of the things I post; I, at least, reformat them ;-) What happened to your knee, hon? Can it be fixed? Knee pain is the worst--feels like your whole body is in pain!

    No, Phooey isn't absent because of you--he adore you--everyone here! He wouldn't give your joshing around a second (negative) thought! He's undergoing med changes himself and some of them cause him to totally crash. He also is being treated for multiple myeloma leukemia. He's doing okay on the medicine, but I think it makes him tired, too. Maybe we'll hear from him today...

  3. Hello fellow ponders!

    I just wanted to chime in and say I miss Phooey too! :)

    Sorry about your knee, Gloria. I know what you mean. My two BF's have severe health problems. One has both types of arthritis, and she is only 53. :( The other one who is 60 like me, has had multiple surgeries from an old car accident. The docs never could get her foot to heal; she always has pain. My little aches and pains are minor, and I will keep all of you in my prayers.

  4. Morning, all. I'll add back pain to the list of things that make you feel as though your whole body is out of whack.

    I have a cousin who is my father's age (87). As a young man in WWII, he was shot down and captured (ended up in Stalag 17, liberated by Patton). This man lives with so much pain now because of that experience. His spine is corroded (my word), and he has 2 new hips. He NEVER complains and has never lost his sense of humor. Once he told me that being in the car with his wife's family while evacuating from a hurricane in Florida, was worse than his time as a POW.

    My point is that I always aspired to being like him. I can't even get close! One twinge in my lower back and I'm yelping, swearing that I can't do anything on my list because it hurts. Such a baby, I am. So many have real concerns. I need to be more grateful.

    I love you all and I'm always here to listen to others (well, except when I do get off my a$$ and do errands). I hope we hear from Phooey soon!

  5. You gals are an inspiration! Thank you so much. You always wrote lovely things on the Connection and tried to encourage others so--I guess that's why I liked you! And, yes, distracting oneself from the discomfort is part of it (why do you ladies think I blog, read, make good morning greetings, and get catz pics all day?--it's about all I have--I sure can't sit in front of tv, it makes me nervous...

    Today is a day I'll be distracting myself from, so I'll be in and out ;-) Have fun--and round up that Phoo that got loose!
