So sorry! Some memories do hurt, as this must, too.
Still, you did have a good time with her just before you left, and that's really something to be happy about.
I am sorry for your loss. What a beautifully vivid image of a beautiful person in your life! Taking a "mind photograph" is something I have done before, too.
I've been banned from ladders too. In 2021 I fell off a ladder 11 steps down, broke both of my feet painting the trim on our house before we sold it. I made the move to Las Vegas with my feet in air casts and crutches.
I would outsource window washing at this point, the list may grow as I age.
Yes, I agree.
I've let go of many things, but only after bugging myself for a few minutes or so. Yes, letting go helps most of the time, within reason.
And I remember that case. That is something I can't wrap my mind around, though. That man must have been a saint.
I, too, am very reluctant to ask for help. My sons, especially the younger one, are always ready to help, but I don't ask them unless they ask me if I need this or that to be taken care of.
I hope your daughter heals and feels a lot better so you won't have to worry so much. I can see how difficult it is to be a parent especially in your case. Hang in there!
What does happiness mean to you? Reflect back on a specific moment when you felt unconditionally happy. What circumstances made you feel that way?
I prefer contentment to describe what others may call happiness.
Bhutan holds the distinction of being the only carbon negative country in the world. This is a monumental title to hold. Think peaceful, untouched landscapes, punctuated only by the sounds of its rich wildlife and gurgling rivers. This tiny country judges the successes of their political policies on how happy the people say they are.
The feeling of happiness is fleeting, however contentment can be present even when dealing with minor irritations.
I stood today staring at the beautiful Swan River in Perth. The sun was warm on my back, I looked at the water birds, listened to the sounds of the water, people going about their day and I was content or maybe happy. I do know I was very pleased to be alive and said so to my husband. Is that happiness?
