I guess you don 't want to huh?

I am disappointed.but not depressed that no one wanted to write for me.  That's a shame everyone has something to say or write and this is a great opportunity to let it all out.
While I have been quite busy writing the church Christmas play.  I have often told you that when I get a thought I have to jump on it right away or I lose important parts of it. That's a sign of something isn't it.?
Once I started working it only  took two afternoons to finish it.Now I just hope everyone likes it. I try to incorporate lots of humor along with a message..  I like what I came up with this year better some years in the  past/ Now all I have to do is come up with  A  stage that looks like a car. The whole play takes place in the car.
since I Parkinson's one thing I have allowed to indulge in is pedicures and manicures.  Before  became shaky I kept my hands and feet in good shape,  My husband suggested that I do it a few years and it stuck.  For some reason I can picture block afterblock of buildings in Viet Nam called colleges for the art of nails. I wonder how it got started that that particular group of people would excel in that type of career?
I am having trouble writing and keeping my font in line must  be time for bed. So  I will try to find something another day/
 Have a great week.  Luv ua Sass

OH no!

Aug 22nd was my sister's birthday and Aug 21st was her anniversary.  And yes I forgot.  Well, I didn't forget it all together I just put off calling or face booking and then it was too late on the 21st and again on the22nd.  I am so ashamed, 
In my defense which is really no defense at all we had two funerals this weekend.  That should have made me more aware right? right.
Now I need to come up with something unique any suggestions?  We are getting too old to dismiss it. besides i  would love to do something crazy for her.
My other sister's birthday is Sept. 22nd.  So if I come up with something magnificent for the first one I can give the 2nd one the same thing maybe.  Think hard and quick and remember that I am craft challenged so nothing that I have to make. Sounded easy for a second there didn't it?
Thinking back over the last two days it has occur ed to me how much funerals have changed just in the last few years.  Both of the funerals were very very nice.  The music now days is so appropriate and beautiful maybe appropriate isn't the right word. What I mean to say is that it fits the occasion so nicely.And short,  funerals are almost always less than and hour long. I wonder if the families have asked for less time or if those who do funerals have little by little done it..I don't think ministers know the deceased like they used to.  We used to go to the same churches all our lives and so everyone especially the preacher knew our families and has seen us grow up.
It really makes you stop and think so many friends and loved ones have gone home lately. And they are our age, I truly believe that if you look at the ages your parents passed away then that is a good indicator for your longevity.  My husband's mother's side all lived into the 90's.  I keep telling him he will probably live 20 years longer than I will.  I hope he gets married again to someone who loves all the things he does. I have not been very good as a mate to him I never learned to fish, or cook squirrel, or frog legs,or chicken livers, or calves liver..  The one thing I can say though is I have given him two terrific sons. and I have loved him dearly. 
Take a few minutes tonight and think about your married life and how much you depend on each other. Sometimes we forget to appreciate our grumpy old men or our crabby old women..The fun thing to do is just go into the room where he is watching TV. and even if someone else is in the room with him sit down on his lap and whisper in his ear "have I told you lately that I love yo?" He will probably turn red and say get off or something that under regular circumstances would hurt your feelings. But that just means you haven't done it often enough in the past..  SO don't let it upset you just try it again tomorrow night.  and the next  and the next.  he';ll come around,
Gotta go Poppy just sat down in the recliner I need to remind him that he rocks my world.
Luv ya. Sass
Don't forget church tomorrow.

Dear God





Dear God,
As I sit here this evening I realize how much time I have wasted this summer.  I have let depression and pain rule my life .  Everytime I think I am getting a  handle on it, something triggers something else and down I go again. 
I have decided something must be done I can't go on with these ups and downs So  it's time to take control and get back in the game.
And you see I have all ready made a  big mistake. I am not in control/  You are in control. 
Please help me to remember that.
I want to laugh and smile and giggle
and feel happy why can't I do that anymore?
Another mistake
IF I allow God entrance he will help me
Please help me to rem em Ber that.
I don't  enjoy being around people
I feel like I am not interesting enough that people
would want to be around me either
Another mistake
You have given us the words if we will just say them
It's called the Bible . Don't just read it study it to show
thyself appproved.
Please help me to remember .
I don''t think anyone really knows my fears
I don't have a clue why  I am feeling
this way. 
my biggest mistake .  Prayer is the answer.
It's past time for getting down on my knees
and be quiet.  and listening to what God is
tell;ing me.
Please help me to remember that

God help us in whatever low place  has overtaken us .
bring us to the top again.
SaSS   luv ya.
