Lots going on

Hi everyone,
Another busy week with so much going on. Rolling with the punches is a tactic I have had to learn. I am an organised and disciplined person. I like things done to order and I tick off the boxes in my head as I go. It really throws me out when things come in from the left field, but over the years I have had to learn to be more flexible. Children sort of do that to you! But now it’s my elderly parents, my mother in particular. Hospital visits and working out how to manage her care while keeping her wishes paramount is not easy.
Aging is something not all of us will experience, sadly. Accidents, illness and the unexpected can snatch what years you were looking forward to away. But if you do live a long time I think it is important to be as gracious as you can about it. Remind me of this in a few decades, OK?!!
What do you want to do in your last years? Have any of you thought about how it would be facing death? Have any of you stared death in the face?
On a lighter note: I have regular updates from my friend who has Perdy, one of Polly’s puppies. She is doing well, taking charge of the other older poodle with whom she shares her new parents. She is cheeky and adorable.
Hope things are cool with you all,
Mel xx
