I recently complained, “my bedroom has more equipment than personality…”
Take a look for yourself…
What a lot of clutter! I would like to point out the Dreamcatcher and the framed photograph of trees on the shores of a lake. The portrait above of the woman sitting in an armchair also hangs on my wall. It is a portrait of my great-grandmother. My grandmother painted this portrait of her mother-in-law; I’m sure that’s a story in and of itself. The painting takes me back to another time and place that I can only imagine…
I like to remember the days when the pictures and posters on my bedroom walls were important. They identified my interests and my preferences in music. I pasted on my walls artists I admired, as well as musicians I adored. On my walls, I taped postcards of places I wanted to visit. My walls expressed my aspirations…
It just struck me, my bed is facing my window. I’m still looking out. I don’t go very far, but my imagination does…

Dear Rita
I love your entry this week. As you are seeing around you, your reach into the world diminishing, you keep reminding yourself of a greater world out there. Keep it up my friend ad join it.
Your friend-with-MS,
Wietske
Thank you my friend, for always reminding me not to let myself feel stuck
Keep looking out always. One of the reasons you are a stellar person, looking outward around you and not at yourself. XOXO
That is an incredibly kind thing to say… I blush and smile…
Beautiful and rich with thought, emotion and imagination … as per usual a voyage with you within just a few lines.
Thank you my dear, you are too generous.
It does make my heart ache to see it all. i hope Signor Albussio keeps a paw on it all for you.
Hi Jenny, I know my heart aches a little bit too. However without it I would not be able to do what I do… And yes Signor Albussio has his place throughout the house and navigate all pieces of equipment. I think he softens everything with care and love and fun.
Hi Rita
What a beautiful portrait of your great grandmother AND painted by your grandmother……..
A treasure for sure. Just as you are a treasure to all of us.
Hello Audrey,
Thanks for your kind words. I agree, I’m very lucky to have that portrait of my great grandmother. I remember seeing it in my grandma’s apartment and thinking, “that’s a boring picture of an old lady in an armchair”, of course, I don’t think that anymore. Now I admire my grandma’s creativity and skill.
