Thunder storms

Maybe it would do you really good to go to a public swimming bath. Is there any way you could get to one safely? I think that swimming could really make you feel relaxed and help with your anxieties. As you seem to love it so much, getting back into the water may make you feel really fantastic about yourself again. And you deserve that Carol!

How frustrating not to know what the weather will be one day to the next. It is a bit like that here in England although not quite as bad. We still get four seasons and the expected weather with the four seasons although it is changing a bit. We are getting more floods and summer seems to be lasting later and starting later. So it seems we are warming up. When it is sunny, it seems to be hotter than before. I mean before I left the UK. Now I have come back when I sit in the sun, it feels just as hot as it was out there sometimes. So I am sure it is getting hotter.

We don't really get whirlwinds or tornadoes or anything like that. The most we have is hurricanes, heavy snow, hail and rain with thunder and lightning and fog. Or extreme heat. It can be cloudy and overcast with a chilly breeze in the morning and brilliant sunshine in the afternoon hot enough to get a tan so our weather is changeable as well.

I'm glad you live in New England! because I live in the Old England!

What a shame you can't go swimming. It would not be a safe place around the edge of the pool with a walker. I wouldn't want to trust that I would slip on some water and go toppling over. Once you were in the water it would be okay, as the water would make you buoyant. Swimming is great for people who have mobility problems. It helps them to exercise with ease. I wonder if they have a disabled swim day where they help people get into and out of the water safely.

To bad they don't have a floating walker. When I couldn't go swimming because of womanly things I just use to sit on the steps right where the pool was at least I was able to soak my feet and legs.During the summer whenever I see an ocean on tv I feel like i could just jump right into the tv and that beach.I can almost feel the water.. Like I could just reach out and touch it.

Oh, it isn't fair and I really feel for you, Carol. I wish your son would come and collect you and take you out for the day. And bring the grandkids along too. What a lovely family time out that would be. But I suppose that wouldn't be in your son's mind at all. What would be the problem to take his mom out for a day trip to the beach one sunny day? Some people are just too wrapped up in themselves to think about others. They don't realise that doing those things could add a very special quality to their lives.

He is always to busy just like my daughter today is my moms birthday I bet they will get her a cake.I dont even get a happy birthday wish on my birthday.I use to say something when it was my birthday but if they don't know when it is by now I don't say anything anymore.If they think my mother is a pain wanna make a bet they think I am one too.My son once told me I am already acting like my mother,which is a bunch of bs.I dont pry into there lives or tell them how to dress what the kids should be doing stuff like that.Oh yes my mother still tells me how to dress I told i think I am old enough to know how to dress.She drives them crazy yet she is the one who gets to see them all the time I just dont get it.I wish they would take me to the marina it isnt that far and it is so beautiful down there but no. Every time I do asks for something my son never answers me so i know that means a no same goes for my daughter.

We had a thunderstorm last night it lasted only five minutes,while I pretended you were here with me I was still scared the flash of lighting lit up outside my window.I jumped when I saw that I was watching tv and underneath my covers again.I just closed my eyes and prayed to God it wouldnt be so bad.It wasn't I do not know if God answered my prayers but it worked. I never was afraid of the storms when my husband was alive we use to sit on our closed in porch and watch them.I try to pretend they are fireworks but it isn't helping.I did hear fireworks later funny they don't bother me at all.Matter of fact I am hoping that I can see a few of them on the Fourth of July.
