Small Stones: Friends and Kitties




Temperature at 20
Almost balmy
My kitties’ food supply low
Head out to Walmart
Cat food- check
Need bananas- check
Peanut butter jar nearly empty- check
Oh, yes, almond milk- check
No longer can drink coffee,
So brighten my attitude toward change 
with orange and spice tea- check
In check-out line... 
A friend in front of me,
She notices me first
We chat till she’s paid
Now I’ve paid,
On the way to the exit
Another friend sighted
Stop and chat
Shopping task done.

In my daily in-box comes 
a Minute Meditation from the Franciscan Media.  
Here is today’s which I found quite apt 
for my visit to Walmart: “Eye contact is more than a polite gesture - 
it is a simple yet meaningful acknowledgement of Christ in the other.”

The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. 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
