This week was to be the last week for my radio show. I have kept my station manager appraised of what has been happening. I thought I had some sponsors, but they fell through. I do have 2 sponsors but they are not enough to keep the show going. However, my station manager offered me a deal for the last two months so I can finish out the year. The two sponsors would really help with that, so I am going to accept his offer. I have spent the last few weeks working on sponsors, but since things haven’t come together, I have been thinking the Universe has been telling me something – maybe I am not meant to do the show at this point. I decided I had to be truly willing to let it go. This is my baby and I have been a puddle about it – in private – and I need to let it go. Who knows, the Cavalry may come to the rescue at the last minute. I am going to celebrate rather than be sad and mournful about it. I have gained so much and had a lot of fun doing the show – I am blessed to be able to do it for a second time. The station survey will be finish on the 31st of October – I am very curious to see if anyone noticed my show and what they might say. I will take each show and enjoy it, then a new year and new things to create. This show has me working on a book – plus suddenly I have another idea for a book – it needs to simmer on the back burner. Whatever happens at the end of the year, I will be forever grateful and happy about my show. I hope I have been of help to others, it is up to Spirit. I have decided that if I have helped someone quite a lot, I will never know but that is quite all right. I have been helped a lot myself and appreciate everyone I have been working with and all those out there listening.
What has surprised me is to find I am working on a book based on the things I have been talking about on my show. Also I have been doing doing 30 day course – except I am halfway through and it has been several months since I started. It has really made me think and examine things, often I have had to let it simmer on the back burner until it made sense. That is also part of where the book has come as well. It is the first time I have had a clear idea what I want to put in the book, how it needs to be organized and there are times I have all kinds of ideas when we turn off the light to go to sleep. There are many days I can’t wait to get to it and start writing.
I have sent bits of it to a few people and have received wonderful feedback. So I will be working on the book after the show and what really surprised me is an idea for another book. That will also simmer on the back burner until it is ready. Not sure how all this will work or what will happen – I see it as an adventure and will follow it where it leads.
I know I haven’t written much for a while – I don’t think any one wants to hear me whinge about what hurts, what I have been dealing with – just know I am doing better and it is feels so good to be more myself. (I know, someone will ask “Who have you been?’). The answer – I don’t have a clue. Lately I have a new ulcer on my right leg, however they have not wrapped me up much. I tried putting Cling Film all around it to see if I could take a shower. It was okay but I am tired of spit baths and I wanted to feel clean and fresh. I can only do that when it is time to change the bandage. I will be back at Wound Care on Wednesday.
Next month Eddie is having his first cataract surgery – it is time because he is really noticing it. They are doing the left eye then 2 weeks later, the right eye. He wants to do it before the end of the year, there is no telling what will change with Medicare and Medicare Supplement. I have one developing but so far it is not getting worse. I also have the beginning of Macular Degeneration – I have been taking Preservision to keep it from progressing. Getting older certainly isn’t for sissies!
We’re planning to be home for the holidays. Eddie is having his first surgery two days before Thanksgiving. We had already decided to be home for that holiday and we will also not be going anywhere for Christmas. We have definitely become homebodies.
