A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
A cultural icon whose music is addictive. Despite it being somewhat sexist I like the 2007 video best, I think stompin Tom would have too.

Although I have never watched scary movies, "The Terminator", "Whatever Happened to BabyJane", and "Arsenic and Old Lace" comes to mind. Lol.
Well, I did see that last one....
Thank you for being so kind and commenting during this difficult time.
Can you all hear those purse strings zipping closed? Who would have ever thought it was Peter Pan we should fear more than Captain Hook? And, I am not Tinkerbelle in that movie!
Google it, play the video from Power of Positivity, online.
Except, I warned them that others could see when they got the card (to protect their privacy rights) and that was the end of that!
I did love her works of art and interesting stories.
But who is Jeremy Wade and the Monsters?
It saddens me to see communities damaged by these outrageous acts, it saddens me more to see politicians trying to get an edge both here and in USA from the outpourings of evil FROM A MINORITY GROUPING. Let us ALL try to remember that it is the few as always that damage lives for the rest of us. let us ALL try not to HATE a whole subsection of our communities through the acts of the few intent on creating chaos.
That said stay vigilant people xxxx
Will be asking my hubby today to assist with advice for me to have immediate access to the news when he is not at home. Or, I can take care of this still on my own!
Love to caregivers and their families everywhere!
Everyone said it anyway, however, consistent with my entire life, my post will be

Veronica, There is always hope in getting used to a new normal. My wheelchair was on the front porch for almost two years, rarely using it except as an assist in walking, and when I could go no further, I sat in it and was wheelchaired home.
I never wanted a rollator-looked like something lightweight that would just help me fall easier, so I used the wheelchair handles. After cleaning our yard and porch, and clearing out the shed, my wheelchair now sits in the shed. There may come a time when I have to occasionally use it-especially if I continue to stupidly over-exert doing yard work helping hubby-the wrong kind of exercise! I hope that I never have to rely on it again, but one never knows with fibromyalgia and lower spine radiculopathy. Still have my eye set on some physical therapy, but my butt doesn't agree with my eyes. There is hope, imo.
Do you think, dear nurse, that taking more pain medication and then walking, pushing oneself is a good idea in the short-term? (for me?).
I hope in your case the conditions of new normal are not permanent, V.
Phoenix we can't get British bangers here. probably wouldn't like them these days anyway.
Send there is no shame in using rolator and you have somewhere to sit and rest. I find a cane just another impedance. If I can't get a handicapped parking space I park by a cart return and walk in with that. Forget the electric carts, unless you go in the middle of the night they are just a hazard. Getting used to my new normal, reluctantly.
