Hi Erin, and thank YOU for being part of this community, listening and then sharing your insights.
It is by hearing the message form different angles that will help us to eventually get to hear what is being said. At least that is how it works for me.
And I love your wish to all of us for 2010, so let’s make 2010 that way.
Love Wilma

Oh Hilary, the puns in your comments are hilarious and do dig through some time when you have the time! For now I will pass on your regards to George as I have been reading him the responses.
Yes, people will always have an opinion even if they do not know the full story or even attempt to find out what is going on before giving their point of view.
That is another one that I learnt to do, stop giving an opinion as you never know the full story AND that is too easier said than done.
Yes, I got to see that planning in that format is indeed very helpful and lucky for me I could give up my opinions about that
I am so pleased you are planning that trip, you have to take care of basecamp as you know.
Love Wilma

I have felt as though my routine is becoming a deep trench in my path. Thanks for sharing this shopping with George story. Thank you for allowing this new perspective to be part of your journey. By reading the blog, I can make it part of my own. Blessings to you and Wilma and a most extraordinary 2010 for all of us.

Hi Anne Marie and WIlma .. and I wrote about our rain .. well it’s really bad elsewhere and we’ve had flooding down here .. but your lot looked a bit nasty.

My uncle who was nearly blind liked doing his shopping, but it took ages – eventually I persuaded him to get it delivered .. he couldn’t believe it = bliss! The only snag was he left me to order .. so after he died I got criticised for duplicating his orders and having the outside freezer with too much – I don’t live next door, I did ask him if he’d empty and eat the outside freezer stuff and got the answer yes .. I tried to keep an eye on it (clear the fridge regularly) … but honestly – relatives!!!! At least when he did go out he could do what he wanted to do, and not shop for necessities and he did see it as a boon.

I do mentally plan quite well .. and today I’ve been thinking about a journey to Cornwall to pick up Mum’s great friend for a visit up here, stay with a girlfriend on the way down, visit my father’s brother – aged 95 -, visit another friend of my father’s aged 92 … tieing it all in with a supper in Cornwall for the people who’ve been v good with Mum, while she’s been ill … then reversing the process.

Fortunately I can do and it works .. the mental process is essential with my work projects too – so that will be nice once that gets back to normal .. the realisation that I need to do it is essential – as well as write the plans out as I go along.

I learnt from another uncle – that if you can make things as simple as possible for others .. it makes life a lot easier for both parties – George sounds wonderful .. please say ‘Hi’ for me .. I could dig through .. but it’d take me ages!!
