Early morning

Early morning.  My cat wants to go out at the break of dawn.  I try to go back to sleep but it is hopeless.  I may as well get up. Then I realize this time of day is so nice.  No noise from the TV or from people.  I respect my son's behavior in the early morning.  Usually there is very little talking.  Strange how this time of day is motivating. The day's chores stare me in the face. My brain has a chance to think but by evening, the quiet can be depressing.  Dave goes to bed early.  I have no energy to start a project.  Reading a good book sometimes helps my mood but usually it is the TV that fills the void.  And then I become zombie like, zoned out from the TV.  The solution?  I almost forgot.  Time for music.

  1. music can do wonders. Listening or playing. Spent hours with the guitar and the internet figuring out chords and lyrics last night. Good for the soul. Imagine if we'd had the internet growing up? Perhaps it's time to look up some music on the ipad and follow along on the piano (maybe not so late at night or early in the morning though-ha!)xx

The final Goodbye

Dave passed away last month. I watched him get so skinny.  It was difficult for him to swallow but somehow the aide helped him with oatmeal ...
