These are a few of the sky pictures I have taken in the past 3 weeks. I got them loaded on the computer...Oh boy, you would not believe how I got them to post though. One day I will show you a new picture of me . Don't laugh when you see how bald I am getting.
I call it hair pulling frustration. The older I get the less patience I seem to have.
I think it's because I feel my time is running out, in the big scheme of things. Oh to be as strong as I was in my 30's and 40's. I was much healthier, weighed less, still had some hormones. LOL. I felt I could tackle any thing. Now I do not want to listen to double talk, promises, or what that person is gonna do for me. Keep it simple. LOL That's my new desire. I used to say if you want anything done right, you better learn to do it yourself. This is where the strength comes in. I tucker out quicker and need a fire under my butt to get going at times.
I am sorry I have whined on and on.Thank you dear friends, for your understanding and support. I truly appreciate you. All of you.
So I am hoping for us to have a great day. XO
Very pretty sky pics. We are the same way. We just want what we pay for or are entitled to.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. We want our money's worth...we never get that time back. xoxo,Susie
DeleteLove the skies.......
ReplyDeleteI am feeling much as you. Today I am 66 years old. It gives me pause. While I am happier than I have ever been and even healthier than last year - it still boggles my mind that I am 'elderly!' Growing old gracefully is becoming a daily prayer.......
I want to SEE that pic of you!! My hair is thinning on the right side (where I sleep on it!) and I may be getting a wig in time to come!!
Linda, Some times I feel 100...that's when I look in the mirror and say "boy I look good to be 100. " LOL I feel at peace with My Lord...but I know I will go kicking and screaming...there's much left to do. Oh truly my real hair is thinner. Two years ago, I was antibiotics and lost lots of hair. I am always teasing about pulling it out myself when I become agitated. I wish I had my daughter's Kathy and Lizzy's hair...they each have enough for 3 women. Liz's twin(Karen) and Angie(big sis) , they have thin hair. I'll wear hats and wigs before I would ever go around with my head shining. LOL. xoxo,Susie
DeleteSpectacular skies !
ReplyDeleteI seem to be less tolerable of manners, or lack of, and just plain stupidity, than I was in my younger days. I have a 'moan' at least once a day :)
Hormones....something I recall I had at one time or another :)
Have a great day sweet lady.
~Jo
Hi Jo, I if you were ever near me at times...you would hear me let a big puff of air out of my lungs from boiling inside. LOL. Manners are getting scarce. My girls say I have less patience.. I tell them I am old now and running out of time to be patient. :):) xoxo,Susie
DeleteHello Susie, your photos are gorgeous . . . what beautiful skies:) I just turned 69 so I know how the energy falls away as we get older, but there is still so very much to be grateful for. I don't want to look back when I'm 90 and think of how young I was at 69, LOL. Some-days I do not need any motivation other than waking up and having my feet touch the floor and then other days I just can't get moving. Here's to a better outlook on each new day . . . for you and for me:) I refuse to quit until I have both feet in the grave. How about you? Life is good!
ReplyDeleteYour blogging sister,
Connie :)
Connie, I want to leave this earth wore to a frazzle...but what's scary is some mornings I feel that way. LOL.Thank you for the kind words and pick me up. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI know how you feel Susie. Aren't the autumn skies beautiful?
ReplyDeleteI love every sunset and sun rise. Some are more outstanding than others. I did clean my porch today. I have some flower pots to dump and clean. Blessings to you for a great day. xoxo,Susie
DeleteYour photos are breath taking. I think everyone in the over 50 class is thinking these thoughts. Trying to have faith and live life to the fullest. Sometimes that's not easy, but pray for God's protection and guidance in my life. Great to know that God is in control of this crazy world.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I always pray that God will make me healthy and storing to help others. I do pray to be more tolerant...it just doesn't seem to work at times. LOL. But I continue to pray. I am glad I God in my life. xoxo,Susie
DeleteThe sky photos are beautiful Susie!
ReplyDeleteHi Beth, Glad you getting around a bit. Stay strong girlfriend. xoxo, Susie
Deletewell, dear heart...i have no idea how old you are but just wait until you reach 76..talk about lighting a fire under your butt...mine would catch fire cause I STILL couldn't move very fast. lol
ReplyDeleteBJ...that made me laugh. I have days I feel like I am just dragging...others I feel great. I guess that's just life. xoxo,Susie
DeleteOh my dear Susie, I hope this brightens your day a little. I have nominated you for the "Butterfly Light Award" on my blog today. This award honors those who bring light into the lives of others. You are always so kind to visit and leave comments. You can feel the love that you have for all of your family. You blog like I do, right from the heart. Bad with the good.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about the computer geeks . I had that at the VW shop. They took the screws off my brakes then told me someone else did. Then they said that they didn't have any and I would have to return to have them put on. Excuse me, no one but you checked my brakes. I wanted to look into their trash can. I gave them an unfavorable review but nothing became of that. Geez.
I have a thin spot on the top of my head. I recently decided to let my bangs grow out. I found some skinny headbands that don't kill my big head. Guess what, with my hair pulled back the thin spot doesn't show.
Head over to my blog to see what you have to do. You may want to wait until your computer works better. HUGS
Debby, One day...we may have to have our heads tattooed with curls. LOL. It amazes me how businesses can still run...there's seems to be a lack of ethics. xoxo,Susie
DeleteOh and by the way.....I have days like today and yesterday that I feel like doing nothing. It makes me feel so guilty. I just don't have the pep I used to.
ReplyDeleteDebby, I remember my mother saying, "my get and go , has got up and went," LOL that's how it is somedays. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI hear ya. I am only good to go in the mornings after that I am tuckered out. I also do not want to put up with negative people.
ReplyDeleteI am a morning person also. I like to do things and get them over with. Cause we have to watch Wheel and Jeopardy you know. LOL. xoxo,Susie
DeleteWonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteI guess it comes down to aging. I'm going through similar things. The less I do the less I want to do.
Why couldn't we all be rich?
Here, here Boston Boy...that is exactly how it should have been.:):) We should have been born rich , instead of so good looking. :):) xoxo,Susie
DeleteThat is a gorgeous sky photo! I read this blog post just when I was thinking about how tired I'm feeling and need to scrounge around the kitchen for something to eat. lol I think I should make supper instead, but it's always tempting to go for the chocolate chips. They make me feel better (for about 3 minutes before I would CRASH ON THE COUCH). :-) I think part of the problem is that the hours of daylight are dwindling fast and winter is coming on. No way to stop it. It does make me more tired to have less daylight.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh aren't we all so much alike in ways. I am a cookie eater. I have resisted buying them so I won't eat them. But today I did not eat right. A peanut buttered toast and yogurt for lunch. I will not cook for just me, unless it's scrambled eggs. My brother likes to say, whenever he and his wife go anywhere that takes walking...once they get home, after about 15 more minutes...he gets up and lets his wife's butt in the door....that's how badly it drags...he is just so teasing to her. Just like when he was our big brother at home. xoxo,Susie
Deleteoh sweetie we all feel that way sometimes! for sure! pull up your big girl panties and paste a smile on that pretty face! it feels much better!
ReplyDeletehugs, bee
xoxooxox
Bee, Once I get some of this "stuff" behind me...I am going to be brand new. I think frustration and worry takes a lot out of us. I know we should just not let other get to us. Thanks for pep talk. :):) xoxo,Susie
DeleteThe photos are beautiful! I think as we age, our stamina is not as great and it's very frustrating. I feel mentally that I can do whatever I want, however, the body is just not willing. :) Girlfriend, as long as we have our health and are vertical, we can make it! You are such a blessing to so many so I hope the love we all share for you makes things better! I've been in a funk lately but trying to keep plodding along.

Pat
Thank you Pat. I truly do feel better when I can be in touch with my blog family. I email my girls and some times if they can find the time they email or text or call. But with my blog, I hear from some one everyday. I love it. xoxo,Susie
DeleteAw..Susie- You aren't thinking older-you're just thinking smarter. I don't have the same strength I did a few years ago either. I can remember staying up all night long and doing laundry and cleaning and then chasing kids all day long after that, I don't pull all nighters anymore. lol
ReplyDeleteYou are just having "one of those days" and tomorrow everything will look a whole lot different. I think we all do that when we get to be a certain age-think---wow -- more of my life has passed than lays ahead of me. Blessings- xo Diana
We actually had a couple of sunset skies looking just like those you showed.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya....I am having somewhat of a "over-the-hill-still-living-in-one-room-parents-getting-older-nieces-don't-need-me-house-not-finished-never-gonna-have-a-nice-body-again-don't-care-about-sex-need-hormones-BAD" crisis in the last couple of months. I hate it!

HI Susie(:)
ReplyDeletebeautiful skies(:)
Fall is here!
oh the GP day was fun thanks..
Hope u have a good one..hugs,Patty
Hi Susie, I missed this post and am getting a laugh and some lessons from all your comments. You can just see and hear the "get on with it" words!! Oh, I wish I was lucky enough to be there again!! Well, I thought I was going to beat you all in the age category. I will be 76 in November. But, I see BJ has me beat by a very little bit. Somedays are just about getting out of bed and getting dressed by 1:00 (like today) and some are still, believe it or not, so wonderful!! I guess we just have to take what life gives us and keep on smiling. What is the alternative\? I don't even want to go there..Happy Thursday..Judy
ReplyDeleteJudy, I made this post when I was just stressed to the max over my computer, the travel to and from Utah where my grandson got married. Then I kind of hurt my foot while putting my suitcase in the car to go to the airport. Plus I flew Frontier..Oh my gosh, they want a credit card or debit card to swipe if you want anything besides water. Oh I must have been in a big whiny mood. LOL. I laughed about some of the comments and I know they love me. Maybe that's all I really wanted was some hugs. xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie, I meant to say that your pics are really beautiful, but I got a little caught up and forgot. That's another sign!!!..Judy
ReplyDelete...sigh...so lovely! We had a beautiful sunset last night...now I wish I took a photo!
ReplyDeleteOh, I totally understand what you're saying, Susie. I think these days "simple" is my middle name. My thing with people lately is how you send an e-mail, and they don't reply. I mean all you have to do is press the reply button, and say a few words. I think it's kind of rude when others don't respond to e-mails, but some people only respond when they are asked a question. Oh well, I guess I'm complaining now too hahaha.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful skies, Susie. They really are.
love,
~Sheri
Sheri, I know I can count on a reply from you. You take the time to comment and I know you are a busy lady these days. Not to even mention , the holidays creeping up on us. Shh, let's not go there. xoxo,Susie
