Thanks, Peggy. It helps to lift the spirits, in thinking of these things, in contrast to hearing the radio reports. Is there anything left to burn except the cities,?

I know….. it was really a thinly veiled reference to someone of questionable stature, (in that comment), that I am sure you understood fully!

That’s a good list, Amanda. I have a lot of what’s on it. I’m always grateful for one more day. Every morning that I wake up and can get out of bed, I celebrate. I have enough to eat and share, a safe neighborhood, plenty to read and places to learn. Like right here on the internet. I make long gratitude lists too. Each night I write what I’m most grateful for this day. Like you, I’m grateful for other bloggers that open my world. I tried to make your picture of the calendar bigger so I could see it but it didn’t work. I guess you could say I’m grateful to still have “some” vision. 😉

Safety and security. I should have add that to the list.
Is it hard to read the pic, Marlene?

Probably just for me. I’m having a rough time with the old eyes. It’s getting harder every day. I’ll keep trying though.

Marlene, see if you can make use of the text to speech audio adaptions on some devices/apps.

My son will do it on his next visit. Some days are better than others and no one can figure out why. Sigh.

Hydration levels?

I’ve been experimenting with that possibility. I drink tons of water but older people have a hard time keeping in their bodies. I’ve got to start adding in the lemon again. I’m going to figure this out.. Right now I can’t even drive safely. 😦

Oh that is not so good. Sorry to hear that. I hope you find the solution.
