i cleaned the sink with ajax and with a fifty year old sink it looks good. I thanked my youngest nephew for telling me that cleaniness is next to Goddliness and housekeepers count

I use an sos pad on my stainless steel sink, gets the grime off.
makes me feel good knowing that it is clean. good for you.

Praying helps many people feel better. I hope it helps you

I know you want to help your housekeeper, but please be careful you don't overwork yourself

i think the more you get off yourself the better you feel. It is harder the older you get because you don't have the physical ability to help others and you get trapped by physical difficulties.
I think I will just do the bathroom sink and floor after i take a bath and call it quits. I was think of doing the mirrors but I will probably make a bigger mess

That seems like quite a bit of activity… do you think you may have an elevated mood, or are you still feeling flat, Bobby?

right now i am not feeling flat. it has given me more energy

The Skeezyks is 68. I think a lot about death too. I spend a lot of time hoping it arrives as soon as possible. In fact, I've tried taking the do-it-yerself approach a couple of times.

Professionals in the field of mental health tell us that depression is caused by imbalances in neurochemicals in the brain. And also, I think, over time pathways tend to get worn into our brains So, whether we want them to or not, our thoughts tend to keep running down those same old pathways even if the various day-to-day aspects of our lives are going well. There's nothing about my present life circumstances that should cause me to think the way I do. But I still do.

I'm a follower of writings of the Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön. And one of the most important things I've learned from Ani Pema is that whatever I am thinking is workable. Whatever it is, I can simply allow it to be there... breathe into it, smile to it... & accept it with lovingkindness & compassion.

There's a quote I dearly love which is attributed to the 11th century Buddhist Machig Labdrön... "In other traditions, demons are expelled externally. But in my tradition demons are accepted with compassion." I take this as my mantra.

THAT is interesting. I have been praying for Hilter. I don't know if that goes against my religion. there is some sort of release. Is there something in common

I love your mantra Skeezykz

I think that maybe you need, and are benefitting from, acts of forgiveness and compassion for all people right now, Bobby. It sounds like you are in a better place

on wednesday at p.t. i was able to lift my right leg lying down with my other leg bent. after the stroke it wouldn't budge although i could would walk without a limp. I am not using the cane again. I have pains in my legs. it might be arthritis. I have to stop eating nightshade vegetables. because of zetia my cholesterol went down fifty point. I am sure the surgeon said cholesterol was part of the gunk that was in the artery that was clogged. My p.c wants the bad cholesterol to go down 50 more points. My sugar went up a little more.
I tried out another housekeeper. she spent practically the entire time in the laundry room. Maybe I will just have one housekeeper and try to do some more work myself. this one scared abby to get off the bed to make it.I got so angry.
I am so depressed and lonely. I am even lonely at the senior center. I have gained all the weight back. all i want to do is eat. and then eat some more.
I am trying to pray for every one but it is not working the way it did when i first started. I did call one of the Rabbi's whose class I am taking and told him I was praying for him. I had his cell phone number and he is in the hospital and again with pneumonia/
