I so do not like vertigo. When I do get it, it is for most of a day, luckily it only happens a few times in a year. I am getting a hospital bed so I will be able to sit up and not have to get up, up till now I have had to sit in my recliner with a blanket over me.
Hi Red: Good luck re: the vertigo. I get the dizzies every now and then too, usually from BP meds, getting up too fast, that sort of thing, but could be allergies too. Hard to tell sometimes. Mine only lasts a couple of hours or so. Let us know how it goes at the doc's.
You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful and peaceful place..I do love the pics you have put in the past of your property.
I find them very calming...You are so very right about my classes they are a island of calm in a sea of turmoil and I do take refuge in them..I want to thank you for your continued support and encouragement...You have a real understanding of how I feel and are a true friend.
I am up early sitting here this morning due to a bout of vertigo that started around 430 am this morning so I can't lay down without the world spinning..I plan on calling the doctor for appointment and hope I can get in this morning..This vertigo has been a problem off and on for the last 3 months so I guess its time to see a Dr. about it.. I don't want it to keep me from going to my classes..
I also wanted to let you know I put up a little information about the tractor pic on my blog for you..This tractor sure is ugly in cute kind of way..Its called the Happy Farmer Tractor...lol lol.. Talk to you later...
I have been told I live on a piece of paradise. Well it has potential and I'm sure the next owner will make it even nicer. It is very peaceful but has become familiar. I have had to look around again and see why I like it.
Now I would not want to live in a city unless I had to but there were certain aspects of the city I liked. Parks for one thing. Walking trails especially if they are by a river. And the evening. The atmosphere changes as the city winds down, at least on the outskirts. My brother lives in Calgary and I found parts of it I loved, probably because it was new to me. I liked the lights in the evening and the change of the air as it cooled down. But I let the noise and the hustle and bustle get to me, I let all that negative cloud my thinking. Sitting here though without the noise I can think about the good things it had to offer. I can even miss them.
I think a person can make the best of a bad situation if they look for the good in it. Just some times it is so hard. Take your classes, they have become an island of calm in a sea of turmoil.
They were not always so. But you have learned perception. You have learned to look for the positive. I have no doubt that you can carry this to other situations and use it to find a calm centre. If you truly want a place in the country I hope you get it, it can be very peaceful, but I am sure you now have the potential and patience to be happy anywhere.
Some of those old tractors were so ugly they were cute. So much more character than the modern streamlined air conditioned ones of now a days. And they sounded like tractors. I myself love the steamers. But I think I mentioned that before.
It is good to know that someone else understands this all and can relate to it. Thank you for the response...
To everyone reading tonight,
Well I got back on the horse and went back to my quilting class today. I was absent last week because I was out of town as you all know if you have been reading my posts...I was not sure I would be able to make myself go back. It was so hard to go in the first place but off I went today and I am so glad I did. I had a really good time listening to all the ladies laugh and talk in class and the instructor got me up to speed on what I missed with some private one on one instruction...So I have started getting myself back on track and am adjusting to the city life very well now...I was able to do this all because of the program here and everyones support...I want to thank you all for being a part of this support group. If I can get better anyone can. So you all keep on posting and working the program and I will be here to support you with a listening ear....
This is something I have thought a lot about and am working on. For me its all about nature and trying to make the inside of the house reflect my love of nature. I also love hand crafted art...I am hoping I will find something in my travels that is unique and calls out to me in a special way to bring home and put in the house or hang on the walls...Most of the things that I have that make the house feel like home are in my yard.. Like the Indian grinding stones and dinosaur fossils I have in my flower beds and my petrified wood I have collected..My giant rose quartz boulder I have near the front door. This are things the
that remind me of the wonderful time I spent with my father combing the desert looking for Indian arrow heads..and artifacts
So for me it is all about nature...I took up quilting and crafting thinking that some day I would decorate the inside of house with some things that I make with my own hands and try to incorporate the colors of nature into my inside environment.
This is something I am still working on...Kind of a dream of sorts....
Thanks for the Welcome home. This is a tough question for me to answer. I would have to say the roses in my backyard and the birds happily dancing around in the trees and on the feeders...These are what I like most at home...The house its self I think of as a shelter pretty much...I do enjoy my sewing room and my books that are in the house. I had the house all remodeled a few years ago and it looks very nice but it doesn't feel like home to me. I had planed on selling it and moving out of the city. I have not been able to do that yet. When it comes to the city I like the access that I have to classes. Walking at the lake. Going to a occasional play. I guess I am just much more comfortable being out in the country in nature with all the wildlife and the natural beauty of it all....It feels like home to me...
