yesterday mom made some clove decorated oranges - she never made them before and loved it. the bowl is on the kitchen table and it smells amazing.
A little sunshine on my table.
I brought her back home early and it worked at well for me.
I hope took her night time meds.
I couldn't believe it but I left a bag of presents on the floor at Macy's in downtown Chicago -
- oh well - may it will bless someone else. it's financially not worth going downtown again - time wise and parking expense.
--------------------------------------- AS THE DAY TURNS.... DON'T FORGET THE SOAP OPERA MUSIC AND A COUPLE OF .... DA DA DAAAAAA MOMENTS.
dd older is not a good patient. she was sick for 2 days - instead of being grateful that her sister watched and stirred the rice for dd older she complained it wasn't done enough. I can't say anything bc dd older will think I am going against her and being with dd younger. dd younger was not amused by the lack of gratefulness. I saw this behavior - of hanging on to what she wanted/needed when she had her ED - a long time ago. I am very sensitive to it. its a trust issue.
I have a hard time with of jealousy or sibling rivalry - I understand part of it - especially the amount of time and work dd older does. I will be thoughtful of the feelings but it has been difficult with dd older feeling slighted. Perception is everything. if dd older has this perception it is real to herl even though she is not being kind or fair. She does need to stay in her lane when it comes to dd younger and my family.
I can only pray for her and for dd younger even if my fear is that dd older is pushing dd younger away without realizing.
What can I do... be thoughtful ... understand.... and have dd's figure out their own relationship but be loving to both.
I had t have a talk with dh to not put my mom on dd younger and dd older thinking he is helping me. It just makes it worse.
SOAP OPERA - FINISHED FOR TODAY.... As BLESSED'S DAY CONTINUES. MUSIC PLAYING .... Don't worry - I am joyful. This is something they have to figure out. Being older means that I can see that a lot of things that cause hurt and pain in ones youth seem easier to fix if one talks and comes to a compromise-sees the other persons side - and stay in ones lane - it's not anyones job to tell another how to live. you make it through it one to hundred times and learn that you don't have to go done every negative road there is. it's a waste of time with our loved ones. That love is limitless. Hurts are real and it's important to talk.

Right now my dehydrator is still going as mom cut the oranges really thick - I didn't have the heart to remind her how to cut them after one time telling her how to do it.
POSITIVE THOUGHTS.
t’s a new day, it’s a new week
It’s a time to trust and be blessed afresh
Open it up to possibilities of good
Believe that better things are in the wings
Things long desired
Things that will warm your heart
Embrace them from afar
Then pull them in by faith
