Many have taken to social media to list their favorite things about 2019. What one word would you use to describe the passing of the year?
I think my word would be 'survival'. That's kind of how I feel, like I survived it and now if I could just continue in survival mode 2020 would not look so scary.
This past year I've had to collect my thoughts and actions and regroup. Ask myself, what's important in life?
I've given up on people who have given up on themselves. I've drawn away (tried, anyway) from drama. I've tried to take precaution when looking at the world around me and how others actions effect me. It's hard when those you care about choose a road that you are sure will lead to destruction.
I like the saying, "Let go and let God". Easier said than done, but that's my goal.
Lately I'm lacking sleep, and my high blood pressure is returning after being good for so long. It's kind of depressing. Gracie has been night after night, unsettled and up and down and in and out of the house all night long. Last night she was very sick with vomiting and diarrhea, so not only was I awake all night, but I was cleaning the floors as well.
I was successful in putting on my happy face for the Christmas chaos tho, but truly thankful to get it all cleaned up and put away when all was said and done.
A visit to the vet at the beginning of the week. Gracie made friends with Emmitt, our vet's dog. Who would have thought? She's always hated black dogs. Our vet says she is losing her hearing and we should get her a puppy. Really? A Puppy? (Job security for him, maybe? LOL)
She might have picked up a bug of some kind at the vets office. I'm hoping that's all it is. I would be so sad if it were more serious. But she is 15 now, and when she gets sick like this, I think... is this it?
*sigh* I know, I need to stop thinking negative.
Hope you all had a good holiday and your 2020 started out awesome!
Happy New Year. i am sorry to hear Gracie is sick. i'm sending healing prayers her way. both of my cats are 16 years old so i understand how stressful it is, when your pet is sick. 2019 was a terrible year for me and my family. i'm hoping that 2020 will be better for all of us. please give Gracie a big hug from me. she brings such a smile to my lips everytime i see her and you write as her.
ReplyDeleteOh poor Gracie! Nothing worse that a pet that doesn't feel good. We're always second guessing everything. I do love your Christmas village and decorations. I truly think the older I get, the less interested I am with the commercial aspect of Christmas we'll call it. Keeping it simple for me seems to be the best way to go :)
ReplyDeleteI hope 2020 is more than a survival year for you but a great happy one!
Happy New Year!
betty
Awww, Bobbi. I am so sorry you are having these problems. It seems like you are maybe a bit depressed? What else can you think when Gracie gets sick, at her age. BUT she has he best care money can buy, and is a strong little dog! I think my word would be THANKFUL. It is tied in with your word, because I am thankful that we have survived after all we have been through. We have had so many close calls.
