Pain, whether transferable from the physical to the emotional or visa vera with it's tangible brushes with the no more.. sometimes leads her to wonder more about the after-life if her heart cannot hold onto life...Love in a tangible form still escapes her yet she feels transient examples of it among the people in this foreign land. creditcreatives https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079018 The language of love is the first and the last language that Adel's heart must learn to speak.]]> 2018-12-01 17:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079018 opticians, dentist, drs and hospital appointments still mount up but Adel is working on having less concern for these plans above the actual information that she can get from the appointment consultations. creditcreatives https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079019 Her niece reminded her of that famous quote: ]]> 2018-12-01 17:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079019 Future goals; what comes next? creditcreatives https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079020 Adele has made new purchases in Germany and has more things she needs to buy like a tracksuit (or at least get the bottoms!) for when she takes out her skipping rope-in the name of health as well as remembering to drink enough water and to take supplements. Motivating herself to go outside isn't easy and remembering to take what her body needs is hard also but Adel hopes to get into good habits where it becomes automatic to do the healthy things that she needs to do.]]> 2018-12-01 17:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079020 Adel feels happier creditcreatives https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079021 A new found supportive friend also made life a lot easier for Adele. She was from The Netherlands which was very nearby. They had an opportunity to talk and meet up occasionally. ]]> 2018-12-01 17:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079021 She decided that to enhance her learning she would prepare her English lessons and try to learn some of the very same words she was teaching to her students for herself in German. creditcreatives https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079022 Adele was very pleased with this idea. It seemed to give her a structure to work with. She also planned to get text books to work from to prepare herself for her upcoming German classes. Adel used all sorts of learning devices including watching German movies.  ]]> 2018-12-01 17:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079022 Fortunately Adel loves teaching English in Germany and the children she teaches are her 'pick-me-up' in the day. Adel also loves teaching herself the German language. This love was certainly good for her heart so as a matter of interest she went to a language school in another town so that she could finally take German lessons. There she was given a test where she scored advanced intermediate in German. creditcreatives https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079023 Adele realised when taking that test that her students who she taught English knew many words in English that she didn't know in German.]]> 2018-12-01 17:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079023 There were things that Adele felt she could take note of--that she could create and try to work through. They included being healthy in mind, body and spirit by doing things on her 'tick-off' list that she knew she needed to do. There were some things that she did accomplish and others that were procrastinated for weeks and months. creditcreatives https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079024 Adele is concerned that without some outside help she's not be able to do the important things on time....]]> 2018-12-01 17:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079024 Insurance creditcreatives https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079025 a couple of incidents with pains in her chest went without investigation. Adele was tired of hospitals and hadn't yet sorted her NHS insurance in Germany]]> 2018-12-01 17:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079025 Adel is in the dark creditcreatives https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079026 For weeks Adel didn't use any shoes for walking or socialising. She spend many days indoors, barefoot, sleeping. Perhaps this was on account of her faulty heart..Who knew]]> 2018-12-01 17:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079026 Many destructive relationships with friend, family and foe helped with the move. It was said that if a person gives you shoes then it is a sign that you're to walk out of their life. Adel was given shoes from someone who was particularly difficult, just before she left for Germany. creditcreatives https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079027 Adel's shoes weren't made for walking but she was able to make some moves on the dance floor in a social evening out.  ]]> 2018-12-01 17:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079027 Adel found out that she had a problematic heart with a 'leaky valve' when she was living in the basement of a couple in Canada in 2003. Feeling that she owed it to herself to elicit some concern she shared the news with the husband living in the house she was sharing with. He scoffed at her concern and told her it only meant that she may know how she'd leave this earth, nothing more and wasn't worth worrying about. When Adel did try to tell her Mother in England there was no response, no concern and no phonecall. creditcreatives https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079028 ...Adel just put the information behind her and travelled to Germany to teach English as a second language. ]]> 2018-12-01 17:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/creditcreatives/cb8klktn8p2y/wish/310079028
