The first and third shot may look the same but they’re not.  The wind was blowing as I took them, the petals and shadows are different…

A Bit of an Update ~ The Days Ahead

Good evening/morning, dear friends,

I’ll try not to ramble, but please forgive me if I do  🙂

Most of you who have been following my blog for some time know how upside down my life has been over the past year and a half.  My daughter had been in and out of the hospital for most of 2016 and a part of the beginning of 2017.  She suffers from Sjogren’s Syndrome, among other things, and she’s only 27.  It breaks my heart to see someone so young struggling to get through a day that others think nothing of.  For those of you who pray, please keep her in your thoughts.  Thank you.  🙂

As for me, well, that’s another can of worms.  I suffer from Transverse Myelitis and was recently diagnosed with “essential tremor“.  To say this freaked me out, is putting it mildly.  There is no cure.  They will get progressively worse.  So, if I miss commenting or liking your post, please don’t hold it against me.  My days are filled with trying to take care of everything else, including beginning to pack as we’ll need to sell our home.  There usually isn’t time to take care of me, but looks like I won’t have much choice.  It’s getting harder to type, so I will eventually need to switch to my Dragon software and go voice to type.  I’m so frustrated over all of it.

I love you all, and always appreciate your support, from the bottom of my heart.  I haven’t forgotten you.  Just be patient with me.  I’ll figure it all out.  I’m not a quitter by any means.  I only know how to fight for what I want and this is a battle I am sure to win!!

He got me once

I missed him twice

The bump on my arm

Is not very nice

It’s ugly, you see

And it itches, like heck

This critter must die

Before he reaches my neck

He’ll suck out my blood

As if that’s not enough

He’ll come back for more

Till he’s sated and stuffed

Creases of the Heart ~ #RomanticTuesday #SeptemberWriting #poetry

Fold me into you, one page into another

Creases of the heart, bending, in a flutter

Echoing the fullness, we feel so deep inside

Beating in a rhythm, we simply must abide

Two verses brought together, we become as one

Forever bound to each other, until our days are done

 

Writing Prompt: Creases of the Heart Day 5/30
