List of What Makes Me Smile


What makes me smile?
Myah's laughter, her curly hair,
the memory of holding my own babies,
toddler learning anything new,

waterfalls, birds at my feeder,
    

colored pencils, crayons,
 music from flutes or string instruments,
panoramic view of a river,
Jax's purr, feeling the soft fur of my Siamese,
the light bulb effect when a student "got it",
rainbows, sunshine,
fresh blanket of snow,
the tender and loving healing that radiated through me 
when my husband would touch me,
prayers being chanted,
the sound of the bells when the Eucharist is elevated.
These, and more I'm sure,
kindle a warm feeling and a smile in me.

I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Quirky Poem

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
