I try to be flexible, but I often find myself stuck in my
ways. With all that’s happened and all that’s coming, I have to change that
mindset. I’ve surprised myself that I’m doing so well with it.
When I had to move downstairs, I did so willingly. It’s not
the greatest, but I’m doing all right. The
bed didn’t work, so the boys took it out. I sleep in my big wing chair, and
that has caused my foot problems. I’ll wait until they’re healed and try to
find another solution. The bathroom isn’t ideal, but I’m making do with it. In my
former life, I’d never have been so easy.
The house is changing around me. All the familiar is being
packed, and the rooms look stark. Without all my Christmas decorations, it
seems even colder. In the past, I’d be a bit down, but I’m trying hard to look
ahead. I try to think how I’ll arrange everything, and my world gets brighter.
So, I think I’m doing well with accepting change. I wish I had
the same feelings about all my physical changes.
Peace,
Muff
HI MUFF- you are doing well - we both are all things considered. Change is never easy and managing change with a disease like MS, well, it is all quite overwhelming. Skipp is taking curtains down today and washing everything and packing our decorative rods - talk about stark!! I posted pictures on Facebook of our beautiful Christmas tree and decorations from last year so I could "feel" the season. Plus I watch alot of Hallmark Christmas movies which I love. I hope your legs heal up and you resolve the bed issues too - and that your Christmas season is filed with blessings of family love and hope.

peace.....
I look at old pix, too, and I'm addicted to the Hallmark schmaltz!
DeleteYou are bravely moving forward, by the sound of things. I hope that the new place will be better suited to your needs. This is a hard time of year to be making such a major change--I give you a great deal of credit. And you have baked cookies!!
ReplyDeleteIf nothing else, my living quarters will all be on one floor.
DeleteThings change all the time. We have difficulties sometimes because we've been rehearsing a specific behavior, that may no longer be of service to us--and yet, we stay with our rehearsed mental behavior. And that's definitely on us... to change when the world changes.
ReplyDeleteYep -- the only constant in life is change!
