Love is a verb.

Still winning.


Another day to be winning at love. How can I not be a winner with a lover as great as she is? I look, I find, I surrender to that love. A love that doesn't need words, that doesn't need embracing, it just need acknowledgement.

Love can be used as a noun, a pronoun, as a verb, or adverb. In the verb tense, it is a action word. Love is shown in its action toward its recipient. Sweetie shows me just how much she loves me with her eyes, her handholding, and with her voice by telling me she loves me. 

By her action, and my acceptance of her action, love is shown and given, which is then returned, for Love doesn't sit, it is active planting love seeds for a harvest of everlasting love. 

Friday

We start our day, as we always do, walking into the bedroom, getting Sweetie up. It is one of our easy up and moving mornings. 

In the bathroom, we are starting our sit and see what happens sessions. I don't expect much. Just a new pattern for the morning. I'm starting with a 10 minute sit. Don't know why 10 minutes, it just seems like a place to start. 

With the shower done, and out for breakfast we go. She didn't do anything, and it have been a couple of days for her not to do anything, so it is back to the Milk of Magnesium. I don't want to wait any longer. Not after the last time, she got so cranky before I acted and I don't want to go through that again. 

Breakfast done, off to the course we go. 

In for a surprise, there is a tournament this morning and all the carts are taken. So, with a understanding, we leave. Head for the Mall. 

I'm feeling confident that we'll make our two laps. It didn't happen, my legs just killed me and we had to cut our walk short. 

I've been think about that I need to buy a new pair of shoes. The ones that I have must be over 3 years old, and the sole support is shot. Walking on the course is good for my feet. The grass and dirt are soft, whereas the mall is hard tile. Going to get new shoes and let you know how it works out. 

It is blustery today, so we will be battening down the hatches and stay inside. Sweetie seems content to just sit and watch, while I check out what is playing on eyelid theater. 

We have a good day, until around 3. Suddenly she is up, and heading for her nest. I am beginning to realize, that with fall coming on, and the sun is getting lower in the sky, maybe her sundowners is starting so much earlier and that I don't see it coming. Will work on the solution. 

Anyway, I get her some happy medicine and she goes down for awhile. 

Dinner and she is eating with me feeding her. Cooked up a porkchop and cut it into small pieces for her to eat. We do pretty good, and she gets a good dinner. 

When I get my bowl and start eating, I offer her some, and she is willing to eat. If she eats, I'll feed her. 

Had our dessert shortly after dinner, then off to our Friday night meeting. 

Home and to bed we go. After a day of nothingness, we get into bed, hold her hand and thank our God for a good day done. 

As the hills and pastures slowly turn off their summer colors, and the fall ting is appearing, we come to the end of another day on the Road to Dementia Town while we Kept Our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.   Arthur.

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...
