nothing matters

today nothing matters more than my mom being comfortable
feeling loved, having enough food, water, COFFEE, ibuprofen and rest.
I cant fix all that went on in her past, and I have no say about the future
though I trust my God to take great care of her.
Nothing will keep me from this: expressing love and that she is safe here.
Reminding her that this moment of pain is but a blink of the eye
and that great is her reward in the presence of the Almighty
for the years of sacrifice and humility, generosity and kindness that she showed to so many.

i am reading a great book

I highly recommend Mary Pipher, and her book " A Country of Their Own"
it is on aging and understanding the changes that our elders go through in the latter stages of their lives.
buy it here, read it and 'do not weep'

I grew up there - not in 1944

scamorama

too many scams out there
to try to bring commentary to them all
just do your homework
enter any product or infomercial name into google followed by the word scam
and schzaaaammm, you have easy access to what is wrong with:
Detoxing foot pads ( vineagar?)
Colon cleanser ( cat litter? ewwww!)
reverse mortgages
letters from a bank or Euro Lottery
bath tub refinishing
etc
etc

happy feet

i went to Laguna Beach for four great days
and my feet were naked!
I came home brown and guilt ridden.
Oh well, no vacation is perfect

if you have not watched Glenn Beck, today is the day
or a repeat of his 9-11 show
