Singing Roads, Hemp Oil, Stress Relief Lotion.

Sweetie and Me

Still dark out, not a hint of the sun. I'm sure by the time I post this, the sun will be peeking over the Sandia's and I'll watch the sky turn colors. It is a reminder who is really in charge. Its not simple walking this road, for it is full of ruts, loose stones, and then the brief sections that are smooth and life is good. 


Here in New Mexico, we have "Singing Roads". Someone with too much time on their hands came up with a system of lines on the side of the road, that with at the right speeds, you can drive and hear American the Beautiful. The trick to be able to hear the music, is the speed at which you travel. 


Living with Sweetie follows those rules. I know there is a time, place and speed at which I can get our relationship singing. 


Yesterday, Sweetie woke up early, and I thought this would be a great time to go to church. We haven't been there for along, long time. Basically since I retired and have allowed Sweetie to sleep and recharge her brain, I've found other ways to hear a Godly message. TV can make my church very comfortable. But I digress, as usual, I didn't plan the timing of our arrival well. We were early, very surprised at the changes there. But again, I digress. The only person was our friend JJ, he was so happy to see us and we had a great conversation.


I tried not giving Sweetie her Hemp oil, kind of a timing and effect effort. Decision, to keep with the regimentation that we have seem to fall into. A dose shortly after she gets up, then in the afternoon and in the evening. Some new I'm trying with the lotion. I'm putting it on her neck, along the Carotid Arteries instead of having her rub it in on her hands. Going to see if the absorption by the Arteries will improve the time of it taking affect. Tried it last night before bed and it seemed to work. 


Yesterday, bought red dishes, bowels and plates (2 each) to see if the "Red Dish" works. Last night wasn't a successful test. One time doesn't make for a good test results, will keep trying. We have so many dishes in the cupboard, what the hell two more make. 


Over all, Sunday was a good day. I'm starting to use Teddy as a tool to help Sweetie with her sundowners. If I can give her something that is familiar and have her focus on it, she seems to calm down easier. 


Like looking for Easter Eggs, they are never hidden in the same places. We had to look hard for them yesterday, but we found them. Simple ones, knowing where to put away the forks from dinner, knowing which trash/recycle lid to open, eating enough to make me happy, and not having any accidents at all. Something that you and I take for granted, something that I celebrate with Sweetie.  


Sun is coming up, that means, what? Nothing except, The Creator of the Universe has given me something beautiful to start my day. What I do between now and sundown is yet to happen. All I know is if I keep the Shiny Side Up, the is one huge chance of finding Easter Eggs. God Bless. Keep your Shiny Side Up.

I sure hope.inhave the continued patience with my momma that you do with your gal! We dot to church yesterday as well. I missed the fellowship very much. I am blessed that our church streams our Sunday services online. However I love the human contact. It helps me persevere and keep going to have the love of God in my corner.

A fitting farewell.

When we were young. I've been rummaging around and found this picture of Sweetie and me. We had been married for about a year when this...
