A Special Post

 Hi dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to visit me here! It really means so much to me!

Here is the link to my regular Laughter, Acceptance

Every now and then I will do a post like this to give you all the opportunity to get to know me better. This is one of those occasional posts!  :)

First of all, I want to thank you all so much for your prayers and thoughts on my behalf in relation to my health. I have been have difficulty with swallowing and a chronic cough for a while now. I had my first test done last month. I am waiting for my second test, which is scheduled for March 12th. I also have an appointment with my family doctor on March 2nd.

Please rest assured that I will update you all when I know more...right now there is nothing to report.

I struggle with depression but as I have mentioned in previous posts, I "struggle" with it, I don't "suffer" from it. I do my best to live each and every day with enthusiasm, taking one day at a time and enjoying life. I also do my best to not complain about things I have no control over, such as the weather. I try to cherish every moment that God has given me.

My favourite colour is green...like the leaves on trees and the colour of grass...I believe it is known as "forest green".

I do enjoy reading! I read only non-fiction, though. 

I have never smoked in my life nor have I done drugs, and I do not drink alcohol. I prefer quiet times and am not fond of large crowds or lots of noise.

I love nature and animals, and enjoy taking walks in nature and I sometimes take photos of things I like and share them here on my blog.

I am 69 years young and retired. I love to clean and organize! I am not good at decorating, drawing, painting or crafts! I do enjoy seeing creations of those who have the talent, I just don't have the talent myself!

I am a very sensitive person. Things like violence and animal cruelty, particularly when there are photos, affects me to the point where I avoid such content. 

Although I love nature, flowers, and plants, I do not have a green thumb! I live in a 6th floor apartment and so of course do not have a garden. Although I like to see plants and flowers, I don't have the talent to maintain them, so I don't have them. I am much better with animals, as I have had pets most of my life....mostly cats, and sometimes birds such as budgies, canaries and finches.

Well, I will keep this short, but I hope this will give you a chance to get to know me a bit better.

Thank you so much for visiting me here! Please, if you haven't yet, check out my Monday post (link is at the top of this post)

  5. Linda you and I are certainly kindred spirits. Like you nature and quiet places are what appeal to me. I have a cat called Skeeter...he was a stray and because I did not want my dogs to kill him moved him into the shed and now he lives in the garage when my GSD's don't go. Have had numerous cats and dogs and I too am 69 young - it is a great age to be! Not retired yet but thinking soon. Hugs!
