This thing called life.

Waikiki Beach 

I can remember those times when I was a young boy, of saying that I was going to run away from home. I tried a couple of times, and never got anywhere. The longest was about 5 or 6 hours. I had a friend that felt that same way about his family. We planned our great escape, left notes, and took off. 

Didn't go very far, knew of a little shack, and stayed there. It rained for most of the day, and after it stopped head back home, where I was greeted with anger, punishment, and a fear of never doing it again. One of the worse days of my life. 

What does this have todo with Sweetie and me, you ask? It taught me not to run away from my responsibilities. That there are always consequences to my actions. It took some time to find that out for myself. 

Life isn't something that happens in a test tube, by itself, it happens with other people. I must never forget that I am not alone in this thing called life.  

Tuesday

Still looking for a buyer for Tweety. Have gotten some drive by lookers. All sound good, but that is about all. A couple with sub stories trying to cut down price, but no serious ones yet. 

Gave Sweetie her full shower yesterday. While she was in the shower, she had the bowel movement I'd been waiting for. Better there then in her pullups. After that, I washed her hair, and got her all cleaned up. 

What I find, in myself, is how I'm not offended by her doing her business in front of me. Before we were on this journey, I would of been offended by such actions, now I'm glad she does it. It is the mind set that I've had to adjust to. 

I remember taking care of my girls when they were babies. The changing, the cleaning, to see that their bodies were working well. How we'd judge their health by what was in their diapers. Maybe that training has now reemerged to prepare me for what we are going through now.

Over all, it was a good day. Took Tweety to the top shop to have a wrinkle taken out of the liner. Home for some lunch, out to the golf course, then our walk about. Sweetie was a trooper this day. 

Home for the rest of the day and evening. 

Our day on the Road to Dementia Town was an eventful, yet not too eventful. Just enough to  make the day got by quickly. Driver was on His game, and we were able to sit back and enjoy. Love those days. As we go down the highway of life, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.
