Today when we visited my husband Harvey at the nursing home, he wanted to know if I had brought him an iPhone 17, and then he wanted Brian to go out with him so he could buy Brian a certain kind of motorcycle he had seen on TV… Otherwise, we got the thumbprints we needed for the medical visa renewal, and some pictures of him. We should be able to get everything we need together for the renewal by the middle of next week.

I’m making some progress on my puzzle. Brian is teasing me about (1) taking a long time to finish it, (2) NOT TAKING LONG ENOUGH to finish it – ‘griping’ about how much money it costs to get the finished puzzle picture printed on glass like the other two I have, and then (3) already having bought me the turtle puzzle I wanted, but couldn’t get, a while back.

Art – First Cry
I’m splitting my time today between my puzzle and painting another of my sketches. It’s good to have the rest of the day free to do what I’d like to do, not having to rush – just enjoying.

May this be a reminder not to stress over the holidays. They are different for each of us. Even when things are good, the details can get us overwhelmed, when we should be concentrating on just spending time with those we love; or, if we cannot do that, enjoying the memories we’ve built over the years, making us feel warm inside.
