Please understand…What you give, you get back…
There are certain things in this consciousness that are inevitably for certain.
Life and your concept of it is extremely short. How you choose to use your minuscule amount of time on this platform is completely up to you, however I would suggest that you consider using it wisely and focus on the good of others instead of thinking the universe revolves around you because that is selfish and will get you nowhere. No friends, no fun, no life , no joy, no love, nothing.
What you give…
You get back.
All good things….
At the end of January I fell and broke my ankle. It was pretty serious, had to have two pins and a screw put in and I spent a month in a rehab facility recovering and re-learning how to walk.
I have never felt so helpless in my entire existence!
However, the nurses and doctors were so kind, they were so understanding, not one of them said a harsh word to me.
All of these people deserve a reward for everything they have to put up with on a daily basis. Dementia patients, cranky elderly by in general, cleaning up messes that would make you gag!
Im telling all of this to say that maybe
my broken ankle wasn’t such a terrible thing after all.
Here’s why, it got me out of my little bubble and out into part of the world ordinary people don’t see most of the time. I was able to meet some of the most amazing, caring people when I had lost my faith in humanity.
It takes a special kind of person to be in the medical profession.
To you out there I say a most humble
THANK YOU!

A month ago I fell in my home and broke my ankle in three places.
I had to crawl to the living room to get my phone to call 911, then I had to crawl to the front door to let the Paramedics in because my dog wouldn’t allow them to come in the back to the unlocked back door.
Luckily I live in a tiny little house!
The following day I had surgery to put my bones back together, this has been an ordeal! Then after a week in the hospital, they sent me to a “Rehab facility“ or what most of us know as a nursing home.
At fifty six I can tell you I was the youngest one there and I surprised a few of the nurses and patients when they saw how much younger I was.
This state I live in has some of the lowest regards for our elderly people that I have ever seen. It’s plum shameful and disappointing. Our childcare system is handled the same way! Elderly and infants are treated terribly at some facilities.
Here’s an idea why can’t they have a retirement home, that’s a big farmhouse? The farmhouse is on let’s say five acres and two acres are dedicated to a big vegetable garden and those elderly people who can, can come out and tend the ggarden and
there could be raised beds for those in wheelchairs.
Also a spot for chickens and goats maybe a cow or two and a pony.
Then in another area have a nice big flower bed with all kinds of flowers that bloom all year long.
And in the very back of the property a bee colony to make our own honey and sustain our garden.
I noticed how many elderly just waste away in beds or chairs staring off at nothing. A lot of these people have useful information about life and they remember, but they are thrown away and forgotten. They are thrilled to get to pet a therapy dog, or cat, or see a therapy horse! Fresh flowers make their day! Also, talking to them as adults instead of like babies would be an improvement.
I know it’s hard taking care of people who are hateful talking. Most of the time it’s not their fault.
If I had the money I would set up a place like I described above for the lower class because they need it the most.
After all

The Truth about ageing
When I got to my forties I was bound and determined not to age prematurely like so many I have observed. After all, I never smoked cigarettes, I wasn’t a hard liquor drinker, nor a frequent drinker of alcohol. My worst vice has been sweets and bread, that seams to be the southern woman’s bane and heaven forbid if it’s in your genetics ’cause honey you are just doomed!
Luckily, I was able to keep wrinkles away all the way up to my mid fifties, but now since I’m losing my mid life weight, my skin is changing texture.
Its just weird to me, no one ever talked about it before so is it just me?
oh well it’s just an observation of random thoughts in my head while I recuperate from this stupid broken ankle.
Oh and yes the ankle is a pain in my bum too because it’s taking way to long to heal and get back to normal!
Ok sorry for my complaining.
Hope your life is better :-)
The trouble is you think you have time (Buddha)
Silly humans!
you do not understand that “Time” is actually a cosmic river that flows forward forever just as water flows, you cannot grasp time or water in your hands.
No human has time. This is why the wise men say to seize the moment and do all that you can with it!
One must be very careful when aware of Time, in that it is easy to get lost on the shores of regret and the past and Time can leave you there.
Remember the moments are all you have! So live life to the fullest no regrets!
Don’t save or put things off for later, do them now before your body gives out, or before something happens and you can’t do them anymore!
You want to climb that mountain?
then climb it!
You want to visit India? Saudi Arabia? Dubai? Do it while you can!
I want to visit and pet an elephant and talk with one. That’s my one wish, but I don’t have money so I doubt I’ll ever get to do that. :-(
So top living as if you have an abundance of the hour glass and just do it!
So much more…
By the light of the moon
as the crickets sing,
the voices of the ancestors
move through time,
it’s a soul thing.
I hear the ancients,
I feel them well!
They give me courage
they give me strength to tell.
Whispering sweet words of comfort
words of encouragement for the future
whispering in wisdom of the battle ahead,
so much more sorrow
so much more death….
Women stop trying to be men!
Younger women out there, pay attention!
Just because society says so, doesn’t mean that in order to get ahead in the world you have to behave on a man’s level. After all, a woman is not a man, she is greater.
A gift to be appreciated, a queen to be worshipped! Because only women are the creators, the bringers of life and the givers of love.
Therefore stop behaving like beasts and start acting like ladies who have better manners and brains in their heads instead of men who have nothing better to do but spread hate and war!
After all, why should we have to tolerate such barbarism and death?
Why do we bare their children if war is
their choice of settlement?
Can’t countries have a football game to decide an outcome to a dispute?
Better still, stop sending innocent sons and daughters into battle and put the leaders who have the problems in the arena and let them battle it out!
We are tired of giving up our children for you to kill!
Women, you have the power to stop this nonsense.

Less is More
My last post I was begging the journey of simplifying our lives and bringing order and peace back into our home.
This has been a very enlightening experience for me and I have learned a few things about life during this process.
In the back of my mind I thought by keeping all of my loved ones things, that I was able to keep pieces of them.
In a way that’s true, but it’s a burden when you save everything that was theirs. Now I realize they didn’t expect me to hang on to everything, or anything, because things don’t matter only life matters and if it doesn’t bring you peace or comfort or joy then let it go. I was afraid it would mean I didn’t love them if I didn’t keep everything.
When I realized this, I knew how silly this sounded.
It’s been a few weeks now and the garage has been cleaned out, I’m pleased to say we are finally getting a washer/dryer installed! No more trips to the washateria!
The house is really clean now, I got rid of so much stuff and I really didn’t have to hard a time giving up stuff.
Now that the majority of things are gone from our past, we feel so much lighter, my husband is happier, and I can tell he’s not so burdened. We invested in a roomba vacuum cleaner, our dog, Bruce, thinks it’s his new home toy companion! It’s hilarious to watch, in fact I have to put him outside when it’s on or he won’t allow it to do its job!
I found the more stuff I get rid of, the more stuff I find I really don’t need and I want to get rid of more.
The “Less is More” equation. If I keep this up, soon my house will be bare haha! Just kidding!
Anyway, I hope this helps anyone who has struggled with clutter or hording .
Believe me, you really do feel a relief from the chaos and less anxiety also I’m not ashamed or self conscious about anyone stopping by anymore!
I still have some minor things left but they are being finished now.
Im able to concentrate on my arts and crafts now and I’ve got some
scathingly brilliant ideas!
Ta Ta for Now!
