When you get older you know that you may sometime need to be placed in a nursing home for therapy reasons, mental health reasons, and maybe because nobody is there to care for you when you are elderly or they just cannot take good proper care of you....it is sometimes too difficult for others to care for you because of health issues.
I know a lot about all of this because of aging grandparents, having issues...It has been very difficult finding skilled nursing anywhere! I think skilled nursing should be available to everyone...
I know that even younger and middle-age people may need skilled nursing for health issues and may need to be placed in nursing home type facilities for care....I think that skilled nursing needs to be everywhere and available to all, and clean, professional, affordable!
Therapy/rehabilitation type needs are also something that should be everywhere in the nursing homes for the elderly and for those that have had strokes and have dementia or other mental health issues....I just don't understand why they don't offer this everywhere and have it readily available to everyone who needs this and skilled nursing facilities?! most local small towns and cities should have this available to everyone and it should be affordable.
all nursing homes need to have up-to-date facilities and equipment, also equipment that works, workers should all understand one another and get along/never fight/harass each other, or gossip about patients business, or gossip about their families, stop being nosy about their money and other things in their lives!...*eyeroll*...they need to be kind, courteous and respectful, also being friendly would be good too!....
People should learn to be more friendly, cleaner, caring, and kind everywhere! not just at nursing homes..be a good person! and smile often! :) I know many people do not have much to smile/laugh about, but I keep working on being cheerful most all the time....keep laughing/smiling anyway despite how you may feel.....
one thing I do not like or understand is why when people have to be placed into nursing homes/care, the nursing homes have to garnish most all of their assets and everything they have just to place them into a nursing home/care???...it happens to many elderly and it is very stressful, upsetting to them to know they have to give everything they own to a nursing home so they can stay for what short years they have left of their lives, and then worry about their spouse that is left behind with nothing.....it makes me sad to think about all that and seems very crooked and very wrong to do this to people in terrible sad times.....I know that goes on with many and it upsets me and I cry for those people!
as goes for everything, nursing homes MUST BE clean at all times, they need to have clean, trustworthy workers, and I know that nobody likes to clean rear ends of other people and not get paid much for it, I just think that the workers/helpers NEED to be clean, kind, caring, trustworthy people...NEVER lazy trashy people that stand nearby and hurts the patients, neglects the patients, yells at others, steals items from patients, stealing and selling medicines, lying and going out on the steps of the building and doing/selling drugs or smoking all the time...I have recently seen a lot of that nastiness and it is pathetic.....AND I have heard about it all for years.
I know it is probably difficult to find good reliable kind trustworthy workers/helpers and all nursing homes MUST HAVE good people working there...many good people need work...Just too much corruption in a field that needs to be reliable, trusting and serious for the health of people.....
it's terrible that nursing homes can be so nasty and upsetting, dangerous for elderly patients and people of other ages who have to live there..... :( *sadness*
they need to have better food for them that they enjoy, activities, better room accommodations and cleaner, painted, decorated rooms/buildings as a whole indoors/outdoors....The older nursing homes are sometimes all you can find a room at, and most nursing homes are full up to capacity with no room, there is much need for skilled nursing and/in nursing homes!
nursing homes and special nursing care will always be needed because we will all be old/elderly someday and many people have special needs care at all ages that only a nursing home facility can offer them!......they all should have special places in the nursing homes for dementia, strokes, and mental health reasons also...
it's awful enough what people go through with loved ones having health problems and needing special care, and having to place loved ones in nursing homes is tough, but you sometimes have to do this.....nursing homes shouldn't be so gloomy, sad, depressing!

i saw a rainbow.....
There was a small rainbow shining through the clouds this morning...Everytime I see a rainbow I think about the passages in the Bible..
One of my favorites is about Noah's Ark and how God instructed him to build the Ark to save animals!...I'm a lot like Noah, he saved animals...God flooded the world because the people were being terrible and he told Noah to save the animals two by two and he did that..So after the flood that lasted many days, he told Noah about his promise that comes with the rainbow!
Genesis 9 " I set my rainbow in the clouds, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. It shall be when I bring clouds over the earth that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud, and I will remember my covenant which is between me, and you and every living creature, the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all."
he promised to never flood the world again.
Everytime I see a rainbow I think about that and smile, because he promised that with the rainbow...
it is a good passage to read in the Bible.
I know the rainbow means different things to many people....I just like to think about the cute passage in the Bible when I see rainbows...I think they are very beautiful and I like colorful rainbow designs on items...I at one time, had a Rainbow Bright doll and her friends, and the house she had...I liked those dolls and accessories!...
I have a bracelet I purchased a few years ago that was rhinestone/fake stones and it is shiny iridescent rainbow colorful hearts, so pretty! I like it!.....I think about Noah's Ark and God's promise when I wear the bracelet....
anyways, it is sunday, church day I have been reading that passage today after I saw the rainbow.

attaining happiness.....
People have their priorities all wrong most times.
People should NEVER worship false idols, drugs, riches, power and too expensive materialistic items.
No one should think that happiness evolves from owning/attaining all kinds of riches, over expensive materialistic items, having power, taking drugs...Because all of those things are just a waste of time! Too many people worship all of these things, and it brings them down...greed is there, takes over and ruins your life, too much is NEVER enough they want more and more!...sadness.....People who have lives like this, usually have boring sad lives, and people will become very jealous over them, and I always wonder why?....Because even though they may seem to have it all, they usually don't have anything, nothing to ground them or offer comfort....and that is awful.
Being without all these "exclusive" things as they all have always called it, you can be happy without all that mess! When you may be "broke as a joke" with only $5 in your wallet and a small bank account (like me!) you can find contentment and comfort in life when you realize and you know in your heart that all those riches and etc are just a "flash in the pan" here today, gone tomorrow...
A person can be happy when they know what counts in life, and should matter in life, and often times people overlook the simple things in life---those simple things, simple days are the best days!....Being able to go to a Dollar Store with loved ones and purchase candy or cookies and giggle while doing this, then leaving the store and going to a baseball game and enjoying the game with friends---those are good days, and those are real days...when you are free to laugh and be with good trustworthy friends and family, your loved ones...those kind of days are what matter and what count!!!
We should always strive for and search for a life like that..Who cares if you don't have much money, you don't own riches or $500 purses and shoes?...it should NEVER matter...I don't have any of that! and I am happy with simple days, I have been taught that way by my good family...there's not much money, and you have to go without many items, and make very sure you are always saving money....forget purchasing or wanting useless too expensive items...they don't matter! we don't have to have the most expensive branded items!...I never do...I don't care.
My Grandma always says:" Be happy with the life that God gave you" and you have to learn to make ends meet and pay bills, go without outlandish over expensive purchases, and know and realize that those things don't count or matter...
Being able to have trustworthy caring, loving friends/family to live with, laugh with, learn with, cry with, and get over terrible times with, is all a person needs! You cannot find comfort in a $55,000 car or $5,000 purse!/Those are just materialistic items, they can't hug you, or laugh with you...you may be able to drive a car and laugh in a car, drive away for awhile, but that's about it...it doesn't give hugs or laugh with you!...lol...
you should be able to enjoy life, and not worry about starving yourself all the time to be able to fit in with lousy snobby over critical people....Stay Away from those people!..They aren't good and will ruin your life...they're so BORING and ANNOYING...they all have their priorities wrong, they're all about over expensive materialistic items and starving yourself...*yawn* eyeroll*....haha! blah blah blah..who cares!...because I don't like those kinds of people....I stay away from them, they don't know what life should be about....I laugh at them.
Life is more enjoyable when things are simple and you live within your means, and being content/happy with what you have, and realizing that all those overexpensive materialistic items don't matter....they don't count!....Having good friends/family members who love and care about you is all that should matter, being poor and not having much money it doesn't matter! I know all about that!....You have to learn to save money, and know that all that overexpensive crap doesn't matter...who needs it?...nobody....People with their priorities all wrong waste so much money on that overexpensive junk.
DO NOT ever care what anyone thinks about you, their opinions do not matter!..IF they make fun of you, laugh at them and go on...they're all idiots....that's all I have ever done is laugh at those who make fun of me.....I don't give a damn what they think about me!...they don't count!...haha!
So enjoy those days of laughter, not caring about what people think about you, enjoy shopping cheap, going to baseball games, and learning to appreciate the simple things in life, because that is all I ever do!.....Haha!
make very sure you appreciate your good pals, and your good family members that you can always laugh with and enjoy life with.....riches, stupid materialistic items, drugs, power, and greed should NEVER be priorities in your life..AVOID them....they will ruin your life and relationships...
I love laughter/giggling, being funny/silly and I think we should all learn to laugh more often, relax more often, worry less, less stress, and have less low self esteem.....be able to enjoy life!
being able to enjoy life as best we can when we have not much money, is the best thing we can all work toward everyday......learning to attain happiness in current situations is good for us all.

mentoring....
Many times in life there are people who are left behind by family members for all kinds of reasons....Often these people have no one to turn to ask for advice or distinguish right from wrong...
Throughout my life I have always been asked many questions from others about what they should do in a situation or what choice is the right choice?....What is right and what is wrong? they always ask me...
I think when you know someone needs to be taught about what is right or what is wrong you should always first ask them: " What do you think is the right decision?" and I'd let them tell me what they think they should be choosing....Then I would give my advice on their answer...You know, you always want others to make good right safe decisions and always choose good things, NEVER bad choices!
If you ever have to question a decision you make and you have to ask yourself: " This decision may be dangerous, it may be nasty, it may be very wrong that I am choosing to take part in" THEN you know you should NEVER go with that choice, because it is wrong to begin with when you are questioning it about being dangerous, nasty, stupid, wrong....so always go with the decision that is less stressful, safer, and you never have to question it....You say: "Oh, well it will be OK, there is no worries when I choose this decision/choice."
In life you may find others in your life who you see are taking the wrong bad paths in life and making very wrong stupid decisions.....You may wish to let them know that they are making a bad choice and say: " Maybe you might think of something safer and better...this is a very bad decision."
Teenagers and Children are usually the ones that make stupid bad choices and endanger their lives, so you need to always be there for them when they seek advice and be there for other adults when they seek advice from you and ask your thoughts on an issue or something they want to know how to understand or choose the right decision...
Decision making can be very stressful and often confusing!
Being a good respectful mentor to others and trying to always help others to know the good choices/decisions that are out there to choose from to keep them safe, is always very kind to be helpful to them when they are stressed, confused, upset...and seeking advice and help with decision making....
You can change others lives for the better when giving them advice for the good choices/decisions.
