All signed up with Hospice

     The word hospice does sound depressing and negative  but after our meeting today with 2 wonderful ladies, it doesn't sound so depressing as it did before I found out how caring the people are and how the future may or may not be for me.
      Life goes on and I go on.   So, as of today, I am part of  Centra Hospice of Lynchburg.  I will be visited by a nurse and whenever I have a question or concern or pain that I cannot control, etc, they are a phone call away among other things as help is needed!
      Meanwhile, I have a very supportive family, supportive friends from our church and church's ministry  and friends from near and far who are praying and helping with kind thoughts, words and actions!
      Thinking about the negative aspects of dying cannot be part of my mind frame right now, so, I will be thinking about short term future activities like going to the beach for a few days and helping planning for our 50th wedding anniversary party on Sept. 21!  SAVE THE DATE  
     After that it is birthdays in September and October.  Wow, and then there is Thanksgiving and Christmas again😃
      A favorite song I loved to sing is an "older" version of "Give Me Jesus".   It is called "In the Mornin' When I Rise", a "spiritual arranged by Charles Ives.

Another more "modern" version of this song that is beautiful which I found on the internet this AM is "Give Me Jesus"  arranged by Fernando Ortega.
