While I’ve been meaning to blog more, both reading and writing, I’ve been hiding in escapism. Since time is much better spent wishing all living creatures the best and focusing on a positive mindset, here is some great personal news…
On Friday my husband received a call from his dialysis team. His kidney function has improved enough that he might be able to end this (quite literally) draining procedure, have the itchy temporary port removed, and once more take full showers.
And I am proud to announce that my courageous, chivalrous friend has been seeing a grief therapist after his dear lady’s passing. In decades past Scars might have let guilt, anger, or sheer bereavement overtake him.
Our dear friend Phoenix is also doing well. His employer grants every consideration regarding his leg amputation. I’m thankful he is valued and gets satisfaction from his work.
What’s your favorite way of avoiding reality? Or do you prefer charging headlong to forge a brighter future?
Hubbies news is the best, but all good news.
ReplyDeleteI don't avoid reality. I face it with a positive attitude. I remove things that are stressful (easier to do when you're retired) and surround myself with positive things and people.
Have a fabulous day and week. Big hug. ♥
:D
DeleteThat is good news all around but the hubby news is the best!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGood to read that some things are making a turnaround.
ReplyDeleteI've escaped into reading...well, mostly listening to audiobooks.
And attending free lectures and events at local libraries, and planning inexpensive short vacations to visit art museums.
Thank you. And best wishes, my dear.
DeleteThat is wonderful news about your husband. I guess my escapism is reading and watching comedy show reruns like Big Bang Theory and Friends. Nice to see a post from you. XO

DeleteReally glad to know about the improvement in your husband's health.
ReplyDeleteFavourite way to avoid reality? Watch a movie or read a book or talk to a friend.

DeleteWonderful news about your husband's health. I like reading...it is my escapism.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI like reading mostly. It's good news about your husband's health.

DeleteI find reading helps me. Although, if things are really bad, I find that I have to reread books I've enjoyed in the past. Not sure why. All such excellent news.
ReplyDeleteI think favorite old reads provide a special comfort. :D Thanks for the kind words.
DeleteAll great news.. happy to hear it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my dear.
DeleteThat's great about your husband maybe getting to end dialysis. Full showers, wow, that's great too. Scars sounds like a wonderful kind guy.
ReplyDeleteThank you. And yes, Scars is amazing.
DeleteHow wonderful that things are looking up with the hubby, and glad to hear that things are looking up for your friends, too. Like pretty much everyone else, mom and dad esape by reading. Dad says there's nothing like getting swallowed up by a good novel that you can't put down. Paws crossed things continue upward, dear Darla.
