A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I.....?
A cold front has hit us...brrrrrr!!!
Enjoying my "Friday" night, crocheting and watching TV. Cozy!!
Favorite thing for today: energy. Not sure what I did yesterday, but something gave me so much energy that I couldn't sleep last night until 2am . Consequently, my day got off to a late start today and I'm feeling a little draggy. Trying to regain some of that energy I had yesterday!
Today while walking to my car after grocery shopping, I saw an elderly man bending over in the parking lot. His right hand was down on the ground, and I initially thought he was picking something up.
But I wasn't sure what was going on; then saw a young man come over and try to help up the older man. I realized then that he had either fallen or was about to, so I also went to help.
This poor man had little strength in his legs and had difficulty trying to stand. Between the two of us, we were able to get him up, and he was able to kind of stagger back to his car. He mentioned that he had just come from a doctor's visit.
I wish I had thought to ask him if there was anyone we could call to alert them that he might need assistance, but after we got him up, he immediately staggered to his car, and had actually backed out before I even got back to my car.
I was so touched to see this young man come over to help out the fellow who was having difficulty with his balance, and lacking support, might have ended up down on the pavement.
There was another car in the aisle, but no one got out to help; the driver just sat and waited for others to help the elderly fellow.
I never saw who might have parked in the handicapped spots, but I've seen so many who manage to get out and walk easily into the store even though they have handicapped stickers on their plates. This elderly man clearly needed a handicapped parking place, but there were none available.
Thanks for sharing that information with me!
It is hard not to wonder when you see someone who appears capable and healthy.
I have what I guess you'd call an *invisible disability* -- sometimes I don't take my cane to go into the grocery store, but I absolutely collapse on the cart!
One time my sis was too ill to go to the grocery store, she called them gave her list over the phone and they met her in the parking lot with her groceries. The store told her they would even deliver to her house.
I prefer the first blooming daffodil to confirm spring has arrived!
Chocolate and cheesecakes!!
