What is this on my dressing gown?

Being  old is like being a child again

Is this thing I feel on my dressing gown front embroidery or is it food that I’ve dropped trying to eat my dinner in front of the television that doesn’t work?

It’s embroidery but it’s only on one side why would I think it has to be symmetrical I wonder?

Why didn’t I get rid of the television before I wonder.

If it was embroidery they would have duplicated it on the opposite side but it isn’t so maybe it’s Weetabix.

Should I have to wash it again because the last time I washed a dressing gown the zip broke. Maybe I can scrape it off or sponge it or both.

At least babies don’t worry when they wet themselves

When you have sepsis your kidneys stop working so you don’t pass any water and your blood pressure falls so you don’t need to worry about it anymore until you die of course but do you worry after your dead? If you die from  low blood pressure you can blame the doctor who put you on the medication

There’s no point worrying if you’re in hell and if you’re in heaven would you not be happy except that all your family are in hell so you’re lonely it’s a difficult thing this isn’t it having to worry about what happens when you’re dead. But it makes this thing on my dressing gown front seem less important

it is a flower embroidered on

anyway I don’t believe in heaven and hell except for states of mine while we are alive on the earth and heaven is something we feel here when we approach the great commandment to love our neighbour as ourself. Only for a few moments just for a few moment we can be in heaven when time stands still and everything expands.

Once when I was knitting I had a vision of two hands holding large knitting needles and I realized that somebody was knitting the world.

It was a very beautiful experience only to be achieved by being alone and in silence for a long time

Many mental-health conditions have bodily triggers

Certainly thyroid disease and cancer can cause depression before the physical symptoms develop . It happened to both my father and my sister with lung cancer so don’t accept that it’s just depression and in any case depression itself is serious whether or not it’s caused by a physical illness.

Better to confront than avoid on the whole

I have always believed that if you are frightened of something inside or outside of yourself it is best to confront it. Plunge right in and find out all about it and the fear will dissipate.
