The Sweetest Thing

The song for my husband is Juice Newton's 'The Sweetest Thing I've Ever Known'

When I see you in the morning with the sleep still in your eyes,
I remember all the laughter and the tears we shared last night.
And as we lie hee, just two shadows in the light before dawn,
The sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you.

And I have never been afraid of losing now.
And I have never wanted love to be a chain.
I only know that when I'm with you , you're my sunshine, you're my rain
The sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you.
The sweetest thing I've ever known is loving you.

Finally a day off

I worked till 11 last night and I was too tired to be able to go to sleep easily. I didn't want to take any sleeping pills, but I should have. I tossed and turned until aroun 3 and then Sweetie woke me up about 7:30 and I wasn't ready, but got up anyhow. He fixes me waffles every morning and is so sweet. How can I resist that? Well, I can't. So I laid back down and slept till about 10:30. Took him to exercise and went to get some milk and bread, thinking I was broke. Came home and updated the checkbook and found some grocery money, so off we went to Wallyworld. Got caught in a bad storm coming home. We found out later that a lady about 3 blocks away got hit by lightning. Yikes!! Started supper and ruined it and had to start over, but ended up with an awesome dinner. That sucked, but sometimes I try to do too much multi-tasking. Note to self: slow down and THINK.

Through the Glass Darkly

The reason I chose 'Through the Glass Darkly' is because of a verse in the Bible that I love. Years ago I heard a sermon on this verse and it became very clear to me the meaning of this/

The verse is I Corinthians 13:12--For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

The pastor explained that what we don't know or understand on earth, in Heaven face to face with God, we will have all of the understanding and knowledge for the things that have happened here on earth. And there are so many things I want to know. So many whys and wherefores of things that have happened not only to me and my family, but also things that have happened in the world, such as wars and oil spills and tragedies of all sorts. of why we must go through the horrors that we must go through.

A better day

not so down this morning it's a minute to minute fight to stay on top I usually do pretty good, but on occasion I feel like I'm being sucked down the toilet. I hate it when that happens. I'm usually pretty good at hiding my despair and I like it that way. It's not that I can't talk about it. It's just that I don't feel anybody really understands or cares. You know how you ask someone 'How are you doing?' but you don't really listen to the answer. And also alot of times people just don't know what to say or do to make it better. And I so understand that because I have a hard time knowing what to say or do when someone is having a hard time. I feel helpless. and awkward.

First Day

This is a spot for me to ramble on about life and this horrible disease that is taking my sweet Boyce away from me second by second. Alzheimer's Disease-how can it be that this vibrant, brilliantly funny and caring man has this awful disease. It is unreal, our lives spinning out of control and we're only in the so-called early stages. Unbelievable! Unacceptable! Surreal!
