Happy Fourth

Being in multi doctor's offices the past three weeks is the ONLY way to waste your time.  In addition to my local doctor, a MAYO trip was made.  After all the blood work, x-rays, probing, poking, and anything else they could think of, the Dr said approximately the same thing as my local Dr, with the exceptions of a Urinary Tract infection and an irregular heart beat.  I've had those for some time but never mentioned them.  One good thing did come out of the visit, I got to spend the night with my friend and her family.  Her Mother cooked.  MAN was it good, especially the dessert which were fig cookies, similar to baklava, only better.

There are times when you just have to do something different, if not to have a change in routine just to enjoy life.  The night with Aida and her family was interesting to see how another culture behaves, but also to see the love between individuals.

Skipping to today, another year has gone by and I'm another year older, or broker.  I occasionally look back at a period of time, to evaluate and to reflect.  This year has been interesting if not enjoyable.  So many things have changed, and yet they have remained the same.  "Ween" woke me up about 7 this morning with kisses and snuggles. She is my "therapy" dog - petting, feeding, and just plain attention are her agenda.  She has no hidden reasons for being there - she just loves being loved.  Attention and food, and she's there.  Even as she has curled up beside me on the couch, she has to reach out to touch me.  That must be reassuring to her.  And, in a way, to me too.

How will I spend my day - no plans.  Maybe just stay at home and pet Ween.
