My Prayer to Mary



Please, Mary,
divine Mother
of heaven and earth,
allow me to…
be an instrument of love today,
to serve in whatever way
Jesus has chosen for me,
in spite of 
(or perhaps because of)
my listlessness 
and physical pain. 
I offer this through Jesus Christ.
Amen

Dear Nonnie, opening your blog page, my heart leaps with joy and peace and a smile on my face!

Peace to you on this holy eve - here it is already the 31st.

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

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
