nclosed warm pool and other amenities unfortunately shortly after moving june 1st i have ended up in hospital i won t go into details but must say i am not right now feeling very well and hope to recover soon i am i guess officially a very senior age right now at 81 actually i had some surgery on that birthday so will always remember that day as i was just lying here i thought i would touch base with a short update when i do get home hopefully will get back to writing more and catching up with others anyway guess i will leave it there for now this entry was posted on july 8 2026 in

soul feels drained there have always been rules of law and those who must enforce but what happens when things go awry and true justice is not on course people don t know who to trust many just hide away hope against hope they won t be part of the brutal use of force each day oh god i pray that this soon will stop that those who allow these things to be will look very hard at what is happening lord open their eyes to truly see this entry was posted on january 27 2026 in bullying christianity life living poem and tagged god justice life poem 6 comments acceptance jan 8 traditionally this is the time of year when some people make resolutions however i m not too sure how many actually do anymore or if that s a thing of the past i didn t make a resolution but i did make some decisions in the past couple of days i decided that i will live my life without looking over my shoulder i am who i am and will be concerned and concentrate on those people in my life who accept me as i am for quite some time i have wondered how i might change to perhaps be more acceptable to some i have spent too much of my energies both physical and emotional wondering how to do this but i have determined that i need only to accept and be happy with the person god created flaws and all and be just me this entry was posted on january 8 2026 in christianity life living and tagged christianity family god life 4 comments another year soon to pass dec 31 december 31st 2025 just sitting here with rambling thoughts wondering how i ever got to this place in my life i suppose one must keep in mind as the years pass and you and your husband age it cannot be surprising that one will pass on at some point before the other those thoughts don t really register though until at some point they must in our case it was my husband who was stricken with a severe disease by the name of alzheimer s when the diagnosis is made it still didn t sink in to my thoughts what really was to come it happens so slowly but one day i realized the symptoms had become more pronounced memory of course is one of the main symptoms and is easily recognized as it begins to be more frequent my husband knew that he could not remember words or events that had taken place it was a learning experience for me also because i had to not dwell on these things i had to refrain from pointing out those things it would serve no purpose to do so except to most likely upset him i needed to devise ways in which he could still feel that he was contributing to our life together this was especially necessary in the earlier stages of the disease in later stages he would not be aware of those things he could no longer do and so it became less stressful even though i knew the result of having this disease would result in very debilitating ways with a prognosis i did not wish to dwell on as time went on the realization became inevitable and one i could not deny while saying that many tears were shed may sound unimportant with the overall depth of this disease i mention it because to me it was a reality that drained my very soul at times if there was any blessing to find it was that my husband was not really aware of the indignities he would experience he was in retrospect as a child who needed to be cared for and just loved that is what helped me cope through the years maybe the reason i am thinking of him and that time is the fact another year has passed without him and i am also very aware of my age it s been almost a year and half since his life was cut short and i miss him so very much a new year dawns however and i will need to find my place in it i am going to try to find what it is that i should be doing what it is perhaps that i do not see at this moment but something that god is instilling in me to find out i wish everyone or anyone that may read this a wonderful and exciting new year full of blessings diane this entry was posted on december 31 2025 in alzheimer s health alzheimers blogging christianity life love medical and tagged alzheimers christian family god life new year 2 comments love and peace nov 14 november 13 th 2025 well it s a little over a month till christmas television shows of course are in full force all about the celebrations and plans everyone makes at this time of year of course the emphasis should rightly be about the babe born on christmas eve those many years ago it is however that time that family comes together to celebrate in raising our children we allowed santa to be a part of christmas but we explained it as santa claus loved to give gifts to girls and boys and so he chose the night christ was born to give those gifts and to celebrate his birth everyone has their perspective that was ours the time leading up to and including the holidays is magical love is truly in the air and we sometimes wish those feelings extended to the rest of the year as well if we somehow could manage that just think of the peace and caring about others that would spread instead of ignoring those around us that have needs of one kind or another we might be more aware and try to help those less fortunate the christmas season can bring heartache to some instead of joy perhaps there has been losses in the family perhaps some have lost their job or means of supporting themselves and their children perhaps there have been relationship issues there are many things that can make the christmas season very difficult for some maybe it is unrealistic to think that the celebrations and feelings would last all year long but think about it just think about it it may be unrealistic but it is not impossible we can care we can help we can make a difference all we need really is to remember who we really celebrate at christmas and remember what he gave to us the gifts of love and peace if we remember that everything else can fall into place and our world would be better post script since i haven t blogged very much over the past couple of years there are changes with wordpress that i m not too knowledgeable about so i m trying just to do the basic diane pps i have forgotten how to select the photo to enlarge it it s a photo of my little charlie brown christmas tree that i now put up i can t handle doing a large one anymore and especially with wally not here to help it s also a creche that my husband made over 50 years ago when the children were quite young with all that we had that was available at the time a few pieces of wood and some white and black paint we bought the figurines i put it up every year as it gives me years of memories this entry was posted on november 14 2025 in blogging christianity christmas family life love and tagged blogging christianity christmas family jesus love 4 comments gift of freedom nov 6 there are many things we seem to remember times we want to celebrate especially in december christmas is a special time as we go out and buy our gifts and plan that special day as long as time permits there is however another time that our thoughts should also be with those who fought in many wars so very valiantly without their courage and bravery it would be difficult to recall the many christmases we ve shared and freedom the richest gift of all while as a christian i realize that the greatest gift of all was a child born in a manger the freedoms that many have in a lot of countries was indeed a gift given by the men and women who chose and still do to fight for them my heart is saddened at the many wars that still exist and the cruelty and inhumane circumstances that so many are still affected by i feel i am sometimes so simple minded as i ask myself why why are there wars my conclusion while not earth shattering simply feels that it is power and greed i know it s not as simple as that but to what end do these desires really prove really matter the loss of empathy compassion and the love of humankind is something i will never understand my prayer for peace will always be a part of me for remembrance day 2025 this entry was posted on november 6 2025 in christianity christmas life love poem prayer and tagged god life love poem remembrance day 10 comments where has the time gone may 7 i can t believe that it s been so long since posting where has the time gone i had intentions of blogging more often sometimes when i would think to do so i couldn t seem to focus on what i would post the truth i suppose is that even thought it s been 9 months since my husband passed it seems like yesterday almost at times losing him of course has been life changing i am so aware no matter what i m doing or where i am that he is not with me i suppose with the winter months and being for the most part house apt bound the aloneness is more keenly felt i have tried to do some painting but my heart just isn t in it i do some reading but not too much because my concentration is limited too so i watch much too much television i joined a new church as i am now moved back to the province we lived in all of our lives we were only in another province while my husband was in care i lived with my son for support but visited my husband each day that was possible it was shut down once for covid for three weeks in december of 2023 even at church i am aware of being one i find it difficult to attend functions even as i really haven t met too many people and just can t seem to mingle too well yet i remember how he was the outgoing one and didn t have trouble in the same way i did offer to be one of the readers during the services as i thought that might help me to become less inhibited next month i will turn 80 which is so hard to believe i still drive as i still feel comfortable doing so but when my birthday comes it will mean i have to go and renew my license as i understand it isn t too intense but never the less i hope it goes well i m hoping now that spring is here and traveling is easier i will be able to visit some family when i was in the other province and even since moving back i haven t seen anyone for quite some time there is a friend of mine that is coming to visit next week for a few days so i am quite looking forward to that in any case i realize i have to get on with my life whatever that entails i may not know what that is but i m sure god does this entry was posted on may 7 2025 in blogging christianity family life living love and tagged blogging faith family god life love writing 11 comments just a few thoughts jan 19 well i will be trying to get back into regular posting i think sometimes if i don t have something light and positive i shouldn t post i m hoping that will come right now i m still settling in my apartment it really does still feel weird at my age moving into my own apartment i can t afford a retirement residence where you get meals etc those places are very very expensive i used very two times because the apartment i m in is also much more than what i had hoped to pay also but my searching just didn t come up with anything cheaper that met my needs one of which is having an elevator many of the older buildings that were less expensive just didn t have elevators and with being 79 and having multiple sclerosis causing weakness in legs and arms and balance issues certainly wasn t up to walk ups i ve met a nice lady that lives on the third floor and she has taken me for a drive a couple of times to see the city and where some of the stores i might want are located we ve been to lunch a couple of times too i won t be able to travel too much in winter because a lot of my family live a couple of hours away but when the nice weather comes i won t mind driving that far i am able though to see my sister and brother who are closer i m still getting used to being one instead of two living each day with the various things that need to be done even sitting in church i m aware of my husband not being there alongside of me it s something i guess will just take time to adjust to oh i am going to join alzheimer s grief zoom meetings for the next few weeks every tuesday to meet others who have lost a loved one to the disease it will just be a few people at a time just to share feelings and perhaps help each other through the process i have to add that the alzheimer s organization has been such a help and support during my husband s illness and even after anyway i guess that s it for now diane this entry was posted on january 19 2025 in alzheimers blogging christianity family life multiple sclerosis and tagged blogging christian christianity family life 10 comments saying hi dec 5 i thought i d just write a few words i haven t been blogging since my husband passed in august it has been a whirlwind the past few months i have moved back to ontario where we lived all of our lives except for the two years or so we temporarily went to another province to live with our son for support during w s illness i have an apartment not too far from my sister and brother of course we re all getting older in our earlier years we don t think of that time when we realize we re more than senior citizens we re old i have help reminding myself of this as the body lets me know in june of next year i will officially be an octogenarian i still drive as i believe i am still competent to do so if i didn t have my independence i m not sure what i d do i guess i ll worry about that when the time comes getting used to doing things on my own and not feeling so alone is the challenge right now even sitting in church by myself shopping by myself and knowing it doesn t matter when i go to bed or when i get up because no one knows but me i certainly don t mean to sound pitiful as thousands of people face the same situation as i do i am not unique i have years of memories to look back on and that s a blessing this is christmas and though it is thought that every first something is the hardest to go through i think it will be whenever i have that moment that time when i face the realities of knowing he is not here and i don t think there is any prediction of those times i know that there is only a few that read my blogs anymore as one has to stay active but to those who do please know that acceptance of what is i will face most of all i will cherish the memories and thank god ...
