Yesterday, Why she had to go, she would not say.

A day with flowers.

The Beatle's song "Yesterday" "Why she had to go, she would not say." Melancholy is a word that might be used today. Strange how a word or thought suddenly pops up, and has a totally different meaning. As I was writing, I stopped and looked at a video of Paul singing Yesterday. Simple words yet, so strong in how I feel. "There's a shadow hanging over me." Just what is that shadow? You and I know what it is, it is the certainty that we are loosing that which we loved so much and like life, there isn't anything we can do. 

This morning I was thinking about just what I can control. The thought of a plant, a growing and flowering plant. I can plant it, and after that I can only water, prune, and watch. I can't force the roots to grow, or the leaves to spread, or even keep the bugs off it, I just do not have any ability to do any of that. 

So, I sit and watch, I walk, I feed, I wipe, and I sleep with that which I cannot do anything about. I can't stop it, I cannot put back that which is gone, all I can do is be kind and see that kindness reflected back to me. 

We had such a Easter Egg day yesterday. Some of the Eggs were, breakfast, walking the golf course, just sitting in the backyard watching the humming birds and sparrows. Seeing Sweetie getting excited while watching jets stream across the sky. Or, seeing her sit quietly just looking as the wonder of nature opening up to her. 

Of course, Driver knows all about that. He's the one that makes it all possible. He's the one who puts the puzzle together. I love it when He will shuffle His foot to draw my attention to an Easter Egg's hiding place. I know I couldn't make this trip without Him. He's the only Driver that knows the way to Dementia Town, He's the one with the map and knows the best route to take. It may not be the easiest, but it is the best. He's here now and with that it's time for me to grab my cool sunglasses, and head for the car. He's got the door open and in I go, buckling up, and being breathless, off we go. Me in the passenger seat, Driver behind the wheel, down the Road to Dementia Town we go, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. Someone is pulling up next to us, is that you? Looking good with your Shiny Side Up. Later, Love Ya, and God Bless.
