(4,154 posts)and to a degree I accept my having medication for blood pressure and cholesterol. I think about that I am supposed to see my grand-kids this weekend and how much I want to see them and be strong for them. I also realize that I may put myself at risk doing so. I know they are worried too as well as their parents. So I do not know. So I distract myself with thinking about other things or reading. Like I think about small clubs that used to have small tables and small lamps on them while I sipped a drink and we all listened to someone like Nina Simone or Carmen McRae play the piano and sing some smoky jazz. Wondering about how all those clubs are gone and does anybody get dressed up real nice anymore to go out? Probably not. But this old man is here to tell you there was nothing like looking your best and sitting at that table with your date all dressed up just the two of you in the low light and then you would reach for her hand and ask if she would like to dance. It was magic if you let it be. Just a distraction of thoughts from a big bag of memories.
