Hello to all, it is Saturday afternoon and my oldest Grandson and I just got in from the pool. It’s hot out there but oddly enough there is a nice breeze for this time of year in the South. Most of you that follow the FB page may have read that I am taking a break for a few days from the page. Partly because of the Algorithm with FB and the fact that each day we can see they allow about 180 of our over 12,000-page followers to see our post.
While we love all of you, and we truly do you know the page would not exist without you. We are growing weary of this, as so many pages are. I think part of it is my post have been off, I have been off. Allow me to explain, ok. You see, ever since last October when my bottom bridge broke and I had it replaced to the tune of over 8,000 and some help for two Angel friends it has not fit right. I’ve been back and been back, and to remove it since it is the whole bottom would be a huge ordeal HUGE since my BP spikes so under the anesthesia to stroke level each time I have to endure it. Why? I have no idea but many medications and I am not friends!!
I have really given it to God, I am down by about 20 lbs since the start of this I eat very little, but I am sure some of it is because my stomach has shrunk. Then there is the issue with my right eye, the one I had cataract surgery on 4 years ago and they gave me the wrong lens, then right after COVID I had to go over the weekend to the eye foundation here in Birmingham. My retina had detached some and the gel had broken free and floats around making it hard to see at times. That surgery to remove the gel is not a simple one and can cause blindness, oh me! So, you see, I do not have life-threatening illnesses, I am blessed but, right now I have this aging issues that do at times keep me from enjoying myself like I would otherwise.
When I get on my cell to post or my laptop the light from it will cause my right eye to almost close. I’ve kept my time online to a minimum for about the last 8 months or so. But, like so many of you I think we are all there and FB has become less and less interesting for so many. I do not like being told what I like, or what I need to see, I do not know about you but when I joined FB 11 years ago we could see what we wanted to, but not today. They pick what THEY want you to see. I had been saying this for a while and now have some of you PM me and saying it is true they do pick and choose for us I never see your post ever. I am not going to blame it all on FB, I know that I have not been up to par in my post to you each day. It seems like each day I wake up it’s filled with this or that, and time gets away, another age thing I think..
I knew one day if I was blessed enough to live to get older it would hit me, and darn if it hasn’t. I work on myself, try to walk, exercise, eat right when I eat, get enough rest, and do many of the things in life that I enjoy. But, I can not put my finger on it something is missing, maybe it is depression, but again I do not know. I do know that as we age depression can be a factor. One would think I’d be on top of the world with Mr. Shabby getting his life together after all the years of addiction, not to mention my precious new grandson. But, I will not lie, there are days not every day but some days that I just want to stay home and not be bothered by anything. Those are the days I usually push harder and maybe I should just let it flow. I am not on medication but a BP and something to help me sleep at night, that is it. Nothing for depression and I don’t even know if that is what it is. I just wanted to touch base with the ones that follow the blog, and let you know that I am just taking time to chill for a few days, pray, and let the Lord guide me. I am trusting Him, and my Journey!
Please remember Jeff and Matt Murray in your prayers, my friend David, their dad passed away from lung cancer Friday Morning, it is a sad time for them and all who cared about David.
RIP my friend.
Love to all,
Debbie
