In spite of several craptasitic days in a row...and unrelenting heat...(where is fall????)
a crumbling tooth...
headaches, new meds and a new personal best in the category of whining...
trying to learn to do without sugar AND salt...and...and...and...and...and...
I have learned several things about myself...
ready for a list?
I still adore my family and friends...and
still believe that I can make a difference...I continue to be charmed by children...
I know that forgiveness is too hard sometimes but necessary for growth...
I get to see miracles if I am paying attention...
still delight in the beginnings and endings of days...
and can hope for hope to return...
I am grateful you all stop by and check on me!
What have you learned about yourself?
And did you know that not only did Leonard Cohen release a new CD on September 14, but Eric Clapton has one coming out on September 28 AND Leon Russell and Elton John have a CD coming out October 14 called..."Union" can't wait!

No sugar - no salt -
no wonder you've got headaches!
That's a tall order you've taken on.
I salute you, my dear brave friend.
What I've learned about myself . . .
frankly, it's too late to ponder.
sweet dreams
jjjj
By this list is should be apparent that you are a special person.
I learned that as beautiful as the full moon is, it kept me up all night...and I need sleep.
OK, and maybe I am stressing about Ghost Ranch a bit, but anxious none the less!
x..x
Oh, that one about hope is really good. I hope for hope to return, too.
I guess I've learned that I'm not as good a multi-tasker as I once thought. It can be stress-making.
Love that moon!
I have learned that reality is usually bigger than our dreams and our fears.
That I hate chemo because it claims a high price - my ability not to be as tired as I am when I am doing it.
That I love my peeps with a kind of loving I didn't know I could feel for people I haven't met in "real life" (what other kind is there, btw?)
I have learned that I can grow magnificent plants from tiny seeds and that I love it when you come and visit and talked about what we both love in common. I have learned to love you for yourself and all you stand for.
I have learned that I am not good at forgiveness but I am superb at forgetting whatever wrong may have fallen upon me. I am happy with that. What I refuse to remember continues to be the best part of the whole thing.
Hugs from here, as always
