Time

Oh my how times have changed since I started this blog. When I got out of the hospital and was healing, I had so much time, I needed to plan out my schedule to give me a purpose.
Now I am writing because it calms and centers me. I am writing so I don't forget any of the things I need to do. Of course regardless of how tired I am, I defiantly prefer the latter.
I was in Borders this morning Christmas shopping.  I saw an old woman telling an employee of the store  she had trouble walking and that she needed help looking for the books on her list. The employee sounded put out and was rude to the old woman, she called someone else to help the lady and walked away. I walked over and asked the old woman how I could help her and she brightened like a Christmas tree.
You see I know what it is like not to be able to get around. However, I realize the employee is over worked and the holidays are crazy for retail workers. Who knows maybe she hurts also.  It is much harder to be loving when in pain.
I am so grateful to at last be 100% healthy, now I just have to rebuild my stamina.  As for me when I am very old (at least 100) I have decided I will defiantly like to be in a really nice nursing home, one where the staff keeps me entertained.
Today I am going to finish the last of my Christmas cards, write in my book, make some potato soup with spicy sausages, and do some cleaning.

Cheers. Spread love where ever you go. There is a quote that my sister loved-"Be kind, because you never know what silent battle someone is fighting."

Update on Holding Togehter

I rode my bike to the animal shelter to put in an application for a pet. I then rode to the library and got a library card. I love riding my bike however, this city is not designed for bikes. I am guessing it is because of the long winters, no one is riding skinny wheeled street bikes in spandex in the middle of the winter.
So there I was facing a sharp turn on the road with no sidewalk, or bike lane that was steeply down hill and curvy. My front break line was out (I should fix it). I said a short prayer and went for it, holding my back break the whole time my breaks screeching like a halk.  As you can see I made it down the hill in one piece but now from tensing my body my hips and knees feel like they could use a little oil and a professional masseur.
The bike riding should help balance out my use of butter. As for creative work, I  have been doing graphic design every Wednesday for Planned Parenthood (as a volunteer). I am re-writing my story with the edits. I finished a drawing of a lion and a mandala, just for fun and I will post it. I plan to go back to practicing the guitar today and get some pine cones to finish the Goddess table. Also for some reason I have been really dyslexic. This morning I said: My Seet are Fwolen, Does any one have any tips to help with this?
Cheers,
Me.
