SHOW US YOUR LIFE- Wedding Dress

This is like the eightieth week Kelly Stamps at Kelly's Korner has hosted Show Us Your Life which was Show Us Your House. I like this one better ;) ...at least until I get out of living in THIS place.

My wedding dress was definitely NOT my first pick. Stubborn old me went in and picked the first dress I saw. But then the lady MADE me try on a different one she swore was perfect. And it was perfect.

Hospital in the Ghetto

By the way, my grandfather is home, well at least in Hampton, but close enough. He is staying in the Riverside Rehabilitation Hospital on Chesapeake Avenue. Not my FAVORITE of places, but still better than another place. He recognizes my family and cried when he saw me (he had already seen the rest of my family when they went to Philly for the fourth). I love him dearly, and I am so happy. He, however, was not so happy to realize his exact location. Only 4 minutes from 16th Street. He fears for his life in is isolation room, you can quote that ;) I LOVE YOU GRANDPA!

Persuasion.

It's amazing how something can hold so much power over you. For years, this thing can influence you and, in a way, unforcably control you and what you do. It becomes a way of life and you settle into it and take it for what it is, or at least what you think it is. This thing may come and go as it pleases and drag you along with it, most of the time with you holding on for dear life, only with the hope that this thing will not leave your life. And sometimes it does. For a good, long while at that. Then it can come back in, with no warning and once again overpower you. This thing may come back with no intention of holding such power over you but none the less become part of your life all over again, even if for two weeks. And as the cycle goes, it comes and goes as it pleases. Leaving you once again holding on and hoping, even if the time is a complete and utter disaster. But as is life, I suppose. It is just one more thing to deal with.
But what if this one more thing could change your entire life? What if you're not sure the life that you're leading is the life you want? Forever. It is then that you are faced with a life-changing choice. And one I would be terrified to make.
It hate this.
