Floof! Reverse Resolutions!

last modified: 10 months ago

Often this time if year, so many are looking at themselves and coming up with ways to improve. Make a list of what's wrong and resolve to do better.

"I'm too heavy"

"I don't eat healthy or exercise enough"

"I am not good at saving money or paying down debt"

"I need to be a better daughter/son, wife/husband, friend, etc."

"I procrastinate too much."

All that is well and good. Certainly nothing wrong with wanting to better oneself.

However, it is also important to recognize and appreciate and even admire the good in ourselves. This is something that a lot of people tend to have trouble with. So I am challenging you all today. Name something about yourself that is a good quality, that needs no improvement, that others can take as an example. What nice things do others say about you? Go ahead, pat yourself on the back and toot your own horn. I will start:

I am a very loyal person and a good friend. If you are someone I love, you can call me anytime for anything and I will absolutely do all I can for you. I want the BEST for those in my small circle.

I am a pretty good cook.

I am a very hard worker.

Your turn!!!!!!

I do the right thing when no one is looking.

I don't give up just because something isn't easy.

I don't expect others to be responsible for my feelings.

I have a "gift" for connecting with and working well with animals. I have a great deal of gratitude for that.

Like Ask Amy Amy Dickinson, people tend to tell me things. I always have an ear, and I must look approachable. One nice outcome of it is, I can make connections among people, find the ”six degrees of separation” that abound.

Food Floof! Fries!
Q

Marilyn, I have eaten "calf fries", kind of like eating rubber bands, but with less flavor, LOL. My girls and The Princess like their fries dunked into Frosties or shakes, or whatever ice cream concoction they are eating. Um....no. Just no. My oldest daughter used to dunk her fries in mustard and her son dunks them in honey mustard dressing. Like Jack, I want my fries homemade, I fry them twice so they are nice and crispy, and I use my own homemade Chipotle Catsup to dunk them, if I use anything. I did try malt vinegar on fries once, at a Arthur Treacher's (do they even exist any more?). I didn't care for it at all, but I don't really like vinegar, not even the balsamic stuff, which someone once convinced me to put on a strawberry. And that's a whole different thread... Annie

I want to continue One Simple Thing, to drink at least four cups of water a day. I keep a pitcher of tap water on the kitchen counter, taste improved with a dash of Crystal Lite Lemonade Mix. It's, "See water. Drink water." I've got DH doing it, too. Come dinner time, *success* in our empty pitchers. This little action has brought my kidney function test numbers back to normal -- measured monthly at the cancer center. And where did I learn this? HERE! From the KT. Thanks, friends. seagrass -- I envy you, having your DM for 60 years -- a little-considered, long term positive for early childbearing! My DM died 43 years ago when I was 37. I know there are several people on the KT who had their parents for even less time...and worse, parents whose children died too young. Seize the Day!

Floof! Starting off....

This year has been fantastic! I‘m in pretty good health as are my family and friends. I have all the ”stuff” I need. My most recent purchase was a push golf cart as opposed to the pull behind kind. I’ve signed up for a morning golf league for this coming season. Normally, I golf 18 holes for league play and take a power cart, but this year, I’m going to walk 9 in a league that is especially for folks who only want to play that many. We’ll see how that goes and maybe I’ll just end up doing the full 18 walking. I’ve just spent a week with my siblings in the city that I grew up in and we had the greatest time. My sister set up my dad’s old Bell and Howell slide projector and we spent a couple of evenings looking at old family photos from the 50s to the 80s. Lot’s of laughing and cackling😄 and just plain silliness. The drive there also reminded me what a lovely area of the world I grew up in and have lived. I had a good ”do nothing” vacation in Cancun in January and have just renewed my passport for another 10 years, so I guess I’m feeling good and optimistic about the future. No complaints so far in 2024. I’m still buying green bananas.

lol I must come across as a lamp-hater. Thanks for the plug in-sconce suggestion. It got me thinking about other ways lamps could work here. I moved away from bedside lamps for two reasons. I want something that could be turned on/off without getting out of bed. The inline toggle switch on this little alabaster lamp is perfect for that. But other lamps may have that feature too. Or a switch on the base that could be easily reached from bed (like in some hotels, I guess). I also want lampshades that are not fabric mounted on a harp. I'm tired of fussing with them tilting, twirling, seam adhesive yellowing, etc. That's why I liked the alabaster shades on the little lamps we have now. No fuss and easy to dust. I'll admit that I didn't look around too much. These lamps had an easy to reach switch and non-fabric shades, so I bought them :) But they can be replaced if I look harder and find something else that'll work better here. And over-thinking? Guilty as charged. Years, no decades, of flawed design decisions (as we see here with these little bedside lamps, the print over the bed, and the original night tables) with a pinch of neuro-spiciness thrown in and I can spin a bit. So I'll work on the lamps. In the meantime, would love some thoughts on the two canvas prints from Elephant Stock over the headboard.

I make a point to say hello and chat with residents other than Mom at memory care. A couple of weeks ago my sister and I bought a wreath to hang on a woman’s door who doesn't get visitors. We did it on the sly so she’s not left out because everyone else has one. We know she celebrates Christmas so that is not an issue.

I offer to handle Amazon returns or post office errands for my family members sonce I am going to be out anyway. It makes life easier for them.

I treat all animals well including wildlife. if I find a ’bug’ inside the house I escort it outside if at all possible. I ’help’ worms get across the hot sidewalk into the cool grass if they are struggling. I also move the occassional flying insect out of the pool to dry ground even if I’m exercising.

I don’t curse and never take the name of the Lord in vain.

I walk every day, at least 3 miles.

I always put my shopping cart away and if the carts are in a jumble in their corral, I fix them.

I crochet for fun and give all my items (mostly hats and cancer patient turbans) away.
