“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”
Lao Tzu
Friday I turned on the new furnace. It worked nicely and quietly. The leaves are letting go as they embark on their final stage of this season in life. The Canada Geese are back in town. Had to scrape frost off the windshield on Saturday morning. The days are shorter and nights longer. Cold temperatures are replacing the cooler fall temperatures. Snow will arrive shortly.
Changes.
I’m finding it more difficult to pull back warm blankets in the morning. It’s a fact I don’t handle the cold as I did in my younger days. I no longer stay up late but go to bed earlier and rise earlier. Conversations with high school classmates now includes medications we’re on. I now keep medication in a weekly pill dispenser. Both granddaughters are now married. Reality.
Yes, life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. The seasons of life along with the reality of life.

My friend, Joan, and I will drive the peak to peak highway today. Looks like it will be a good day for it. Have a wonderful Sunday, Faye!

I like to think of my dispenser as my daily calendar. There are times I’m not sure what day it is until I take my pills!

LOL I never thought of it that way but it does resonate with me. Some people call it an organizer rather than dispenser. Have a wonderful Sunday!

I’ll see your pill, and raise you two. 🙂

You talking tablets or capsules? That’s too funny, Mark!

We might be able to work out a trade. Square ones for round ones. Capsules aren’t worth much unless you have some good colors. 🙂

They can’t be too big. I’m so glad my new meds are not to be taken rectally.
