Nonnie's Photo A Day: On the Way to Bethlehem

Joseph… with Mary,

who’s heavy with child and drained,

set for the Christ Child

I had forgotten about this photo,

but technically the Christmas season

is completed with tomorrow’s Feast of the Baptism of the Lord.

The sculpture belongs to a friend.

I think it's one of the most beautiful renditions of

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
