This is an amazing looking little thing. It is so colorful that it looks painted. Very cool.

Quote of the Day #9
This is funny 🙂
Sometimes Like the Wind
The rain falls softly at first
It alerts us to nature outside of our window
The rain falls violently
It alerts us to the vulnerability of our humanity
The wind blows smoothly
It reminds us that nature can be strong
The wind turns into a furious rampage
It reminds us of our own emotions and thoughts
Someone calls to us from inside the house…
It enlightens us to the fact that we are conscious
Of both the outer and the inner worlds we live in
We live in both worlds…
the one of our outer environment
and the one of our inner chatter…
…or silence
Sometimes like the wind
Our minds can be still
For a time
Perhaps long enough
to find peace

“Storm”
Painting by Mark Eirhart
From markeirhart.com
stand into the danger
steal the storm from the sky
pull the lightning bolts into your quiver
the thunder tucked under the skin of your drum
fill your scabbards with torrents of rain
take the clouds for your cape
live up to your power
Rain and Chronic Pain / Arthritis and Bone Diseas
I can tell that it is getting ready to, or is currently raining here. My chronic pain problems are flared up to an extreme.
I could hardly move out of the bed, but I had to get up and feed the bunny who was ringing his bell for me. He is so smart and sweet.
The degenerative disc disease causes certain bulging discs to slide out of place and that is painful and makes it harder to move.
The cervical spine area is the worst, but I also have pain and stiffness in the thoracic and lower lumbar areas. There is some stenosis in the middle of my back, which makes certain movements difficult.
The lower back is always painful in the mornings. When I got up to feed the bunny, I put some more air in this airbed. It was getting too soft which always causes worse pain to sleep on it, if it is sagging in at my hips.
One day I will be able to buy a real mattress and that should be better for my bad back.
I took my usual pain medications and am waiting to see what happens. It might be a day I have to take extra.
But I have to drive to STS to have them help me with something in a little while. I cant take too many extra pain meds till I am done driving. I just need this round to kick in.
I have two tall flights of steps to go down, to get out of the house. I have been using a cane on the steps because the arthritis in my knees had gotten so bad, I can hardly tolerate the extreme pain in my knees on the steps.
The cane helps a little but the pain is still torturous. So I am trapped in the house until the pain meds work…if the choose to work well today.
Chronic pain is terrorizing. The other people that suffer from chronic pain know what I mean when I say it can cause depression.
I might be able to do some slow yoga in an hour or rwo. But not right now.
Otherwise I love the rain. I always have. It seems sad to have to dread something that you love.
Blessings for a peaceful day,
Annie
Are Ponies Real?
My 18 year old daughter relayed this funny story to me today. She was spending time with her little 7 year old cousin. This is my niece, who is a very cute little girl.
My daughter recently was hired at her first job. She will be starting this coming week and of course is very excited. She was telling my little niece that when she got paid, she would be able to buy her a little gift, with her first paycheck.
My daughter was being silly with her and said “I can get you something you will like, but not a ferris wheel or a pony.”
The little one looked at her and said, “I do not want a ferris wheel and ponies are not even real ! “
My daughter was kind of stunned and said to her “You don’t think ponies are real?”
The little one said, “NO…

Singular Passion
Shall we walk upon the sand
Telling tales while holding hands
Shall we kiss like lovers do
Making promises sweet and true
Shall we lay in each other’s arms
Living for the moment’s pleasurable charms
Believing that we can hold on
with all our might
To keep the passion
of the night
