It has been such a long... time since I have written in this blog of mine, a lot has happen, good and bad.. but I am still here, thanks to the almighty. I have moved to Albany Oregon to be neer my boys...I have two sons and they are a great help to me. I moved from Florence Oregon and the beaches and ocean which I miss very much, especially the National Forests... I miss living so close to nature. I am 84 years old now and one of the Covid Long Haulers... came down with it March of 2019...and at my age I probably will never be free of it. I sometimes feel sorry for myself, however I shouldn't... it is just old age moving in I think sooner then it would have if I hadn't become ill.. so we do the best we can.. right?
Albany is a nice town, city, I think over 50,000 inhabitants, lots of traffic at times and since I became ill I quite driving and sold my car... you know that is a bigger step then I thought it would be, having to rely on others to get to the doctors, dentists etc., or call a cab is hard... losing you independence is really hard. again I didn't think much about it at the time... so I am learning as I go... if anyone reads this and is in the same boat write me, always open for new ideas.
Here is a photo of my little home, I like it a lot...
I love your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteMy mom has said the same things that you posted. She's 83 and lives in Hillsboro. Im 58 and moved to Albany 3 yrs ago..
I did some caregiving for my dad and mom during a transition time on their lives. My mom hated that she depended on other people for the smallest things. So I understand from her perspective and watching her be sad.
It sounds like from your other posts that you have your Faith in God to lean on. I think that having that Relationship helps so much.
I hope that you have a wonderful evening and rest well.
