WHAT!!! It’s December already! Well let’s get this decorated with some Thankfuls!!

1. Art – I was able to work on a watercolor at the senior meetup yesterday, while everybody made it to the lunch beforehand, they had other plans or go to chatting long after I left the restaurant, but no worries. I had the whole art room to myself and got some good headway on my secret project.

2. Music – I learned yesterday that signing show tunes could help with Alzheimer’s. While I am a bit skeptical, but I do know that learning new things is great mind stimulation, I am trying to broaden my musical choices. I don’t think this has to be exclusive to show tunes and that’s a good thing because I know few. Daddy sang country music around the house, usually at night, while we were growing up. Later in life, post Alzheimer’s, he was more interested in country gospel and sang with some others at the assisted living. He did not pass from Alzheimer’s, but his cognitive understanding seemed to be later in onset than what you typically see. So, maybe there is something to this.

3. I Write Her Challenge is back up and running, thanks to Susi Bocks, the prolific writer who keeps us going with haiku and senryu ekphrastic interpretations. Here is this weeks: Circle of Life

4. I do not own a car, so therefore the calls I keep getting about my car warranty getting ready to expire are easy to delete from voicemail. I am thankful I don’t have to worry about my car warranty.

5. I also do not have charge cards, so therefor the calls I keep getting about my VISA credit card are not important. Whew am I ever so thankful for that!

6. I am thankful that I qualify for Medicare and that I have this insurance. And I am thankful they never call me.

7. 8. My brain scan came out perfect! And I am thankful that there are shots to help with the spine and I get round two on those this week and that they give me happy medicine to prep.

9. Angel Card Project is going and we have over 30 cards sent so far. Want to help? Go here:Angel Card Project

10. And now it is time for you to join in and share your cheer! Why not jump in?

  3. Music is magical! And healing and brings so many benefits. Kudos on broadening your experiences! Oh, that car warranty stuff – Ugh! Have gotten so many calls about that. So annoying 😀 Congrats on the brain scan. Significant tests are worrisome until the results are in. Have a wonderful week, Lisa!

    Poor ‘Rachel From Card Services’ . We have all heard her voice, happy and hopeful in greeting, competent in the promise of providing lower interest rates!

  6. So many calls are scams anymore that we pretty much don’t answer the phone unless we recognize the caller. We figure it is a number we don’t recognize, they will leave a message if it is important and we can call back, or pick up if we immediately recognize the caller.

    So happy for you that your brain scan was perfect.

    After the new year, I’ll have to take another watercolor class. Your #1 reminded me that I need try my hand at that again. I loved the one class I took earlier in the year.
