Amputee life before and after...

Sunday, May 17, 2009

~Thinking~


Whats your purpose? Ever really wonder? I do some
times.. Just WHAT is all this for and WHAT will it
prove? Life in general I mean.. We work so hard all
our lives does this get us all we want and deserve? I
worked all the time hoping it would lead to better and
better... but did it? some days I think yes, but then,
some, I don't think so.. So it makes you wonder.. just
WHAT are we doing? I sat yesterday afternoon, I
logged off early, not too many online and I hadnt
gotten any email I needed to reply to.. So I went to
sew. I shut down this computer and went out to the
kitchen and pulled up to the table and just sat there
for a few minutes looking around...thinking....

I looked through the window and its so green outside
after the rain, Carl and his wife cut their lawn last
nite, I didn't see anyone, I looked at the things I
was making and thought about how by my self I was.
Everyone was busy and it was just me and the cats.
That I really served NO PURPOSE.? IF I did.. WHAT
was it? What did I accomplish every day? What did
I really DO? I know I gripe a lot and I know I am
NOT happy ALL the time ! I Do accomplish that,
But, WHAT iS my need to be?

I have lots of dear friends that tell me I encourage
them.. I DONT see it.. THEY encourage ME ! :-) I
whine and gripe and I have a list of "I need".. that
grows every day. But WHAT am I going to be really
remembered for? Or better yet, WILL anyone even
remember me ? Not like I'm planning to leave this
GORGEOUS WEEBLE LIFE :-) but, Id like to leave
something here, besides kids or grands.. Something.
I wonder just WHAT I WILL be remembered for?
Being an amputee? a GORGEOUS WEEBLE? What
can I do NOW to make sure I'm remembered for
REAL ME? Ever think about that? Are you doing
your best, worthy of being remembered??

When you do that... you're not really thinking about
yourself.. I don't mean it that way.. But if you.. ok, I,
DO something FOR someone else, help or what ever,
then maybe THATS WHY all this is now my life? I
question all this so much.. When I do though I think
its good, because its thinking of ways to improve how
things are.... When I look at that.. boy, I have LOTS
to do YET!!!! :-) I guess the good thing is.. that I
WANT to and that even in a wheel chair I CAN and
HOPE to improve and leave a mark.. Well .. I would
leave a mark so to speak.. but I mean things worthy
of being remembered for.. I truly believe that when
we think of those passed each time we do, they get
a star in their crown.. Well I WANT a nice bright
crown FULL of stars :-) So THAT means Leaving a
Mark... :-) ok 2 Marks :-) Something worth while
remembering... Gives you something to work for I
think, leaving more than material things that can be
destroyed, thrown away. Good things you have done,
or impressions you leave with someone.. isnt THAT
what gets you the stars? :-)

I get into some moods sometimes.. and WHY I have
no idea.. maybe I AM alone to much and answering
your own questions sometimes isnt good :-) No, I
trust my own self, ive made some wrong moves but
who hasnt.. hopefully ive learned from them.
I think to evalutae ourselves, take a look at my self
is a good thing.. we all need to do that.. Make sure
I leave 2 good Marks :-) Not for a LONG LONG time
though.. I got LOTS to do yet .. :-)

I made up a list for Carl and plan to phone him, or if
they come over today and do my grass I will ask him
about doing these things on my list.. I have about 7
things on it :-) I do.. AND that's not really ALL I
would like to have done ! The deck isnt on it.. :-) I
still havent heard anything about it so I might ask
Carl about that too.. Lots of little things need done
and Donnie is 2 jobs behind he said, so I KNOW hes
not available, and Penny has too much other stuff to
do.. It will get done one way or the other.. :-)


Post time and for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE to get
Tylers Power Ranger bag finished :-) Hope you are
having a good week end :-) I am... nice, quiet, relaxing.
Thinking... :-) AHHHHH Life is good.. :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya ! thanks!!!
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,
I'm honored to call you "friend".
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    Nice picture Lois. I wonder all the time what purpose why I was here...most of the time I think I know because of Becky,Pam and Mike, but alway wish I could have done better at it...I feel I lack so much, and have wonder why God has blessed me so much with them...And I know I did the best I could...but was it enough. Since they are in there own home with staff...it's even harder at times on the heart part...Not seeing what really going on in there lives...But God always send me there when problem come up for them and they are needing medical help...Staff not always good at letting you know when thing are wrong.
    THE weather here is great today, no rain.
    Lois you are a blessing to other, you have a gift of writing...
    Keep up the good job of posting here for us all...it just awesome to be a part of your life.
    God bless you Lois.
    Mary
