Pictures and other things to do...

I've been tearing through stacks of  picture albums dating ..way back--- trying to locate certain people to pass these photos on to because I haven't a need for them any longer and I thought they might like a photo they probably forgot about........ and tossing others I never really cared about.
Bus stayed for a while
  Some photos are of people I never had a close connection too..I suppose you could say I tolerated them because of my ex.......  Some held an image of a tree in the middle of a forest...I must have been on a pain pill from a recent surgery when I took it..I'm sure everyone has a bevy of photos like that.    There were others from a parade,  a good time I'm sure,  but I don't need photos of a band I can't hear let a lone from a different era.
A freak out party

Summer break from school has been great. This is what all the hoopla is about, I know I'm going to be crazy busy involved this coming school term and subconsciously I'm cramming for life's ...well I really don't want to say finals, it sounds too final. if you know what I mean, but I am trying to accomplish a lot and whether or not I finish it all  I am enjoying the process because I really don't feel rushed or have an urgency that my life is gonna fall apart if I don't.  I'm enjoying the moment.

Today is going to be a smörgåsbord of editing my book, cleaning, personal affects of nails and such, and maybe I'll dust a table or two but other than that I will have a good time a long the way.  There will be time enough this coming school year to freak over an assignment due or rush to memorize the terminology.  At this stage of the game life is a process and not to be taken lightly.  It is a gift of the most Supreme kind.

I'll share a few photos I've found or sent a long to their rightful owners...Have a nice summer and stay cool.

Almost forgotten

Remember the previous posts full of hot air and complaints? 
Well it seems I don't, I'm acting as if  it never happened.

 I'm now left with a slight ache for the people I've grown fond of after two and a half weeks, even the food is but a gastronomical memory....actually that's a lie...
I won't miss that!

I'll miss Miss Kay, my 95 years young roomie.  I'll  miss her positive disposition, her unexpected laugh now and again from all things, Two and a Half Men, which I find funny she even likes to begin with. 
 She's a treasure. 
 I have learned to appreciate the little things from life due in part to losing my mom a few years ago. I have learned there are certain things to treasure and certain things to chuck, things which are a waste of time and breath. 

I am leaving a fine team of Physical Therapists and am glad I was able to learn from a few of them...

There's no Gain without Pain 
....this is so true with knee surgery.....
 It has to hurt to feel better.  
 ...thanks to them I've made progress..
Thank you Lisa and Cory
your sunny disposition and knowledge has helped me move on into the future and for that I'm grateful. 
For once in my life I was actually happy to exercise. :)

Some people wear many hats other than their own, whether being in the business office, kitchen or anywhere else while peforming tasks requested by the residents or  their fellow co workers. 
They pick up the slack, they do the unexpected. 
It's the real world of filling a need or caring for the others in the village. 
 We're all in this life together, we may as well make the job easier by assisting our fellow "man".

This has been an eye opening experience both necessary and unexpected and I am grateful to all who helped me get through it.  I have other hurdles to jump and more posts to write...

Tomorrow is another day....
