I took my time this morning to get Diane ready for Church, hoping that if we gradually introduced her to this day we could accomplish it without any trauma. It wasn't the worst day, but you could hope for better. I put Coconut Oil on her legs, arms and face "what are you trying to do to me, I can't believe you would do that " she says. When I go to change her top into a New Red one I had bought her she says" No! I don't want to take this one off. And that's the way it goes, your not going to please her with things that we might think make her feel or look good. If your doing these things hoping for their approval, this is the wrong place to pick up accolades .
You do get use to rejection to a certain degree, but we all like some recognition once in awhile. This morning after we had finished getting her ready for Church, we were sitting on the edge of the bed when I started massaging her Neck and Back " Oh!! that feels so good " came out of her lips. I continued with the massage and threw in a little back scratch to go along with that. She completely relaxed and became a very content women, and I'm starting to believe I have a special touch.
Reflecting back on the Forty Three years that we have been together I should know some of the basic things she loves.( 1. Her Back massaged or scratched 2. She has a sweet tooth 3. her Red Licorice 4. Hallmark Channel 5. to sit in the Sunshine. she would say" if I was a cat I would purr" ) I don't need to tell you everything but these are some of the things that she still responds to. In her stage of life I believe we need to know all the things that we can do to make her days enjoyable. Besides there is a lot better chance you won't be rejected.
Diane turns Seventy this week and we are going to celebrate this next Saturday . I don't know how much she will understand but I do know she loves her family.
