The above meme is inspiring, seems wise.
A few weeks ago I called my Godmother, a dearest friend of my departed mom. There had been some flooding in New York City and New Jersey, where she lives. It was due to Hurricane Ida. Thankfully her house is on a rocky hill so she and her husband are fine although much of the area had been flooded. She said she had been thinking of me but didn't call as she thought I might be busy. Who is busy during Covid I said.
She was doing well except she had a longer than usual bout of gout. It was interesting, she said she stopped her longtime blood pressure meds for a few days to see if that would help. Interesting because we all seem to experiment with our medicines attempting to take control of our own health! She said she and her friends talk of their latest health issues, it is a thing seniors do. Isn't that so true!
She was happy to have been on a few group travel bus tours before Covid shut things down. It is unfortunate but we agreed that at least she has those memories now. Our lives have really been turned around.
Anyway, it was nice connecting.

So glad you reached out! I have reconnected with a co-worker I knew from a while ago. She's in PA. And I probably wouldn't have done that if it hadn't been for COVID. It's good to keep those friendships nurtured when you can.
So very true! Thanks for this inspiring read, Christine.
So nice connecting. Have a wonderful day today.
The meme is true and it's always nice to touch base with our family and friends. It's been very hard on those who really can't get out.
Great message in that meme. So glad you reached out. We did get hit hard here in NJ. My hometown saw the worst flood damage ever. We were lucky - had water in the basement and the force of it coming down the hill took down part of our stone retaining wall. I could go on but won't - I commend you for keeping your Godmother in your thoughts.
The meme is very correct Dear friend! Very nice connecting. Life is miracle.
I love the little quote, very, very true. If only people lived life like this the world would be so much better.
That is super to speak to her. I saw how bad it was over there, the floods made top news in Scotland for a few days. Haha it isn't just seniors that talk about their health issues, 40s too - certainly ones I hang out with haha!
Glad your Godmother made it through Ida.
It is so important to connect :)
Pleased that your Godmother was ok.
All the best Jan
Me alegro que tu madrina este bien te mando un beso

Even at this time I'm having stuggle. But when happiness comes to me. I'm quite Thankful
Coffee is on and stay safe
that meme is so true
