It hit home real hard today that what I am now INSIDE is what will show on the OUTSIDE in another 30 years or so. If I'm hiding resentment and/or anger towards someone, even if technically it would appear to be understandable, that emotion will be what I'm showing to everyone. There is a VERY good chance that I will end up with dementia. Between parents that have it and both grandmothers having it, it stands to very good reason that sooner or later I'll end up with it. Dementia takes away the filter that we have had when expressing words and emotions. What is in the head is what is coming out of the mouth. There's a saying we heard at meeting. Years reveal what the days conceal. I know where my help is to clear any issues up that are festering, even those that I might not be completely aware of. May the years reveal a heart that is close to my Father and that I'm showing love and care to those around me no matter what year of life that I am in!!
For the first time in a long time there was a early February thunderstorm, and a night one at that. It lasted about 1/2 hour or so with lightening strikes about a minute a part on average. Very, very rare for the Pacific Northwest in February! I do love watching the storms when they come passing through, although I don't appreciate the problems a lightening strike can cause!! ;) Yesterday had a good windstorm come through and was nice and windy all day. Luckily power stayed on!
That bit out dementia is interesting. Realizing that it could be headed your way now is a little like a mortality check. "Better use the time I have NOW in a wise way for the future!" At this point, dementia doesn't seem to be an issue for me, but it could stand in for any other health issue... Kudos to you for recognizing and taking action. :)
