TUESDAY AFTERNOON: Family Reunion


special reunion
two branches of our family
now so many gone

their spirits remain
sweet uncle, loving husband
pray you’re together

 if heaven grants that
a mighty fine poker game
is open to all

Even though a reunion is usually thought to be special. 
Looking backwards brings to mind the enormity of its value-
 thus it's cherished even more.

We recently lost my Aunt Mame at the ripe old age of 87. She was the matriarch of the family. It was certainly a sad occasion but it brought us all together for the first time in decades. I suspect we will be doing more of this as the older generation ages. It's rather a bittersweet way to see family.

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . 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
