Today was turning into a hard day and I couldn't have that!!! That means I need some T-Shirt therapy!!! Obviously if today was turning into a hard one that means that my expectations for the day were falling very short! And since I am the center of my universe that means that I know what is best to happen in my world... Right?!?!?! (I am pretty sure God doesn't agree with that statement! LOL) Well I should be able to fix things so that I have some control or at least the illusion of control in my life!!!! Seriously!!! Isn't that something we all want!!! I noticed that my eyes had taken on a brain of their own and randomly started leaking!!! Now that I cannot have unless they are leaking because I am laughing so hard they can't help themselves!!! As I was pondering how things should be changed in my universe or controlling my universe I remembered this T-Shirt!!! It is perfect!!! I need a new Universal Remote Control!!!! One that WORKS!!! :) Please alert me immediately if you find one!!! (My eyes are leaking anymore and I have a big smile on my face... Maybe my Universal Remote Control is starting to work just a little bit!!!)

If I feel myself worrying about something and know that it could go into full blown anxiety, (It usually happens at night! No surprise there!!!) I watch foreign shows with subtitles! Reading the subtitles keeps me from worrying! I have discovered a show on Amazon Prime, Detective Anna, that is a low budget Russian mystery show. It takes place and 1880 and I don't have to worry about a steamy sex scene and it doesn't show graphic violence. It is an escape and reading the subtitles helps! I discovered that there are about 50 episodes so I tease my family and friends telling them that I am learning Russian in the middle of the night! I thought my sister should watch an episode with me tonight! She just laughed and called me crazy... And there is a T-Shirt that I found for my T-Shirt therapy that fits beautifully with this! I hope it gives you a laugh just like it did me!!! When you are feeling anxious try a foreign show with subtitles!!! This chorus keeps going through my mind today! Not too bad for a song that you can't get out of your mind!!! I have long since learned that nothing goes according to MY plan! I am reasonably intelligent and so I can see how I think things should work out... Right!?!?! Of course things never turn out the way I think it should! I am 57 years old and I still have to learn that lesson over and over again! I am beginning to wonder if that lesson will ever stick!!! I recently thought that everything was going according to how I felt it should and of course the nano second I thought that, everything switched up on me again!!!
On Fridays, my sister Jen and mom have time together. Sometimes they go out to lunch or shopping or both or just hang out... AND get mom's hair done! (Mom has to be at death's door not to get her hair done!!!!) This past Friday as they were coming home from the beauty Salon mom started having a very weird conversation with Jen. Jen in the calm way that she has with everyone told mom to take deep breaths and that everything is going to be all right! It was like mom was holding a bowl of words and would just randomly pull one out and say it. These words had nothing to do with each other or what they had been talking about. Mom knew something was wrong and was scared and so was Jen. They were just a few minutes from home and Jen hit the gas to make it quicker! As Jen came through the door it quickly became apparent that something was really wrong. (As we know, I am not the calm one or the one that worries about using just the right words... What can I say it is just who I am!) I went outside and asked mom what was going on and as she answered me with absolute nonsense, I responded in my typical fashion... Mom, you aren't making any sense! It sounds like you are having a stroke! we are taking you to the hospital! (I am good at anxiety and even causing it in others!!!) Jen got mom into the car and got things going. Jen was in her car getting to the hospital in very good time! I was behind her and made not quite as good of time! She had the wheelchair and nurses running when I pulled up! Mom WAS having a stroke! She is home from the hospital and recovering actually really well. It is a good thing mom is so smart with a very large vocabulary because no one will be able to tell it is harder to come up with the right words! Jen and I did a lot of things together this past weekend because it is scary to deal with this kind of stuff on your own! Now here is the point of my telling about this challenge in our lives... All over the place are family and friends that love us and send good thoughts and prayers! Some of them we talk to more often then others! It doesn't matter, because I know they are there! All I have to do is say we are having a challenge or help and they do! Our Savior has put so many wonderful people into our lives it is amazing! I love them too! For all the people that are going through hurricanes, fires, and other horrendous trials there are people all over holding out their hands and love to you and wanting and waiting to help! Hang in there!!! |
