My life has been a bit of a mess since last year. I decided it was time to do something about it. I had the local first aid group helping me with my shower in the morning for a few months and then I discovered that I really did not need them. I might be 80 years old, but am not yet ready for the care home. I can still do it, and age really is not a problem when you can do it yourself, so no more daily help with my daily toilet.

And then I stopped going places. Through the Winter the weather was cold, sometimes snow, so I was really more comfortable at home. I have MS but not so bad, and I am able to move quite well with the help from my walker. I have a scooter for going places. Now we have at last Summer days. The only place I go is to visit my husband in his golden oldie home, which is not far away.

I used to go places, take photos and enjoy nature, so I decided this lazy life must stop. I am not yet invalide. This afternoon, after my midday sleep, I pulled myself together. I got ready and saddled my scooter and braved the surroundings. I made my way to the local cemetery, which is not just graves, but also nature pure with many trees and plants, and wild life. It was so long since I had been there and everything seemed somehow different. However, I found the way, and visited my old haunts. I discovered naturally new graves, and some old graves were no longer there. They have their rules and regulations in Switzerland about how long you can stay in the cemetery.

I made my way, passing the stables with a few horses, and eventually arrived at the cemetery. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and enjoyed my trip into the unknown. I should really do thin more. The gates were open to the cemetery and it is not far away. My next journey will probably be to town, which is also not so far away. I was the one with the mess, but this will now stop.

And there is always a seat on the way to relax if you do need to relax, although I was sitting on my scooter, so no great need.
