Brain Food

I need brain food.
Foggy mind
no sleep
limp as a rag doll
shar-pei puppy
pondering
slipped my mind
hope,faith & Excedrin
for the birds

THEN...FOOD FOR THE MIND
freckles of rust
pink-orange parfait of dawn
get it together woman
sonnets
out of the blue
passion for compassion
creative climb
to ephemera
dreaming
fill my void
quiet satisfaction
savor the moment
good things take some time
crafty chica
loads of laughs
hungry for more
pushing the envelope
enchanted
pay dirt
I BELIEVE...

My Sierra

Our precious cat Sierra has had a cold so to speak for the past week. Yesterday morning I let her in the house after being outside all night and she was coughing and looked very cold. All day I kept an eye on her and she wasnt getting any better. So by 11:30 last night she was in bad shape and I was worried. Off we went to the emergency hospital to be looked at. The vet said she looked pretty bad and gave her oxygen and took an ex-ray hoping to find the problem. Her airways were not blocked but there was a lot of gas in her intestinal tract. Poor thing, was in a lot of pain. The vet said she thinks that Sierra has Esophotitus. Inflamation of the esophogus. She was put on anti-inflamatory and something to take the gas away. I;m hoping she gets better very soon. She had a nice quiet nap with no coughing or hacking and got some well needed rest. I take her for a follow up visit with a new vet, St. Francis tomorrow. I'm praying for healing hands to bring her health back. Say a prayer for her too, please.

I Believe...

Yesterday afternoon I was waiting for the light to turn green. Just ahead off the road, there was a small puddle.It was occupied by several little brown birds~ probably some sort of sparrow & they were having a party in the puddle!!! It was amazing~ they spashed and danced and flitted their little wings all the while having a grand ole' time. It was just a glorious moment for me. Hard to believe that a few little seconds can change my life but it did.

FEED YOUR SOUL


"Strength does not come from physical capacity, it comes from indomitable will."
~Mahatma Gandhi
My strength is being challenged and I am winning. Yesterday was hard...today was better. Yesterday I had several things going on and didnt know what to think of any of it. Today I focused on things that needed to get done and I accomplished what I wanted. Yippee Skippee!
I am learning to honor myself and live my life with perspectives, priorities & relationships in order to both open and close the doors that present themselves to us. As we become better connected with ourselves, we might have more questions than answers, but if we listen carefully, the answers will come, along with a renewed sence of purpose and identity.
I am finding my passion.
I am focusing on my hearts desire without fear.
I am finding the sacred in everyday things, every day moments.
I appreciate life and every experience it has to offer.

STUDENT ASSIST


New in our school system is a new program called Student Assist. It is supposed to have all assignments, grades, attendance, GPA's that sort of stuff included by each teacher. Well, it isnt exactly as it is supposed to be. But what is?? I ask. In the future i hope it will be more completed by each teacher. As it is now, grades dont look so good since there is so many things missing. I am little by little each day trying to help my kids with their homework assignments. And it is working!!!

These Days

When the sky above me turns dark and full of clouds
and nothing, nothing turns out right
close your eyes and think of me
and soon I will be there
to brighten up
even the darkest night
You just call out my name
and you know wherever I am
ill come runnin' just to see you again.

Just thinking about my husband in Boston and wishin he was here with me.

I miss him so...
