Cancer can
Cancer can turn your life around
it can throw what you have known as reality
into a different dimension.
” What kind of cancer “, someone will ask..
personally, even though we have been told, it doesn’t matter
What matters is it has to e dealt with..
Here is a little tidbit from today’s adventure,
Yesterday I had to do a small laundry, and decided to do it by hand,
hang it outside to dry, we’ve had a couple of beautiful days .. perfect
for laundry. I anticipated that fresh smell one gets from clothes hung out to dry,
I got half my wish, one article, the one that I was waiting for, was dry, but a bird had flown over and left its signature on it. All that came to mind when I saw it, was that “Nature” had a sense of humour, but I wasn’t laughing.
What else to do .. but… come in and wash it all over again. The other item which I had washed .. just because, was linen fresh, and daisy clean.
I think dealing with cancer will be pretty much the same… It happens, it’s ours, now we have to simply deal with it. It will be a new adventure for both of us. My husband has had a wonderful attitude, positive and bright. Together we will see it through.
Again, thank you all for being so wonderfully supportive. We ARE, all ONE.

Cancer can bring people closer together, in PL we say Kamuwaza (God’s Act) … is part of life.
What can bring out the best in people, cancer can.

Pictures taken on the grounds of the Montfort Hospital, Ontario.Canada
sometimes out of nowhere
you don’t know why
but there it is,
you’ve been beckoned by a tree
it is just a tree you say
either way,
here you are
examining and wondering
what the message will be
after all, there is something
really special about the tree
look how proudly and
beautifully it shows off its scars
life is not always easy
for a tree
suddenly by jove
you see the cutest of faces
smiling at you
love at first sight =^_^=
always now I’ll know
when I drive by
my friend, the tree
will be looking out for me.

lush vegetation – magic for Canada’s 150
The following pictures were taken by Dan Larouche, who graciously let me post them so that you all can enjoy a touch of our celebrations for Canada’s 150.
This display has had many visitors over the last couple of months, if you can get to the Ottawa (Canada)
area, I think you will find a lot to enjoy. A photographer’s delight. (Jacques Cartier Park, on the Gatineau side of the river)
Chop Suey Saturday
off in the distance,
under the afternoon skies
they saw the same grouping
that they were looking at
just down the path
half covered by vines
Neither spoke
they stood rooted on the spot
another mystery
to be uncovered
Yvette arrived earlier
Clementine was due next week
excitement was building
Rosie promised she would
let them explore her
chest of drawers
they still had no idea
where the music came from
it happened when she was
working in her room,
and now, double statues
3 maidens high above
and 3 maidens on the ground
somewhere there was a clue
quietly no words spoken
they turned
walking deeper into the gardens.
neither saw the chest hidden further in
from where they had been standing.

Happy Monday
How nice, another birthday card. Rosie sipped on her tea, and listened as the movers grunted and called out to each other about the best way to get whatever it was they were moving into the house. Her birthdays usually came and went without much fanfare, but this time, she had to admit, all the activity of getting the “girls” settled in was a lot of fun.
Each was so different, and the luggage and pieces of furniture that were arriving each day, was so fascinating. So far, the silver dragon sculpture had been the best, although the very old roll top desk was also interesting. packages of odd sizes and shapes arrived day and night. She was so glad she had accepted the offer to be here.
Even her old chest of drawers fit in, her room was big enough for her to enjoy the privacy of her room when she needed it. Yet close enough to the kitchen and public area, for her to keep an eye on the coming and goings of the participants in the project that had brought them all together.
Birthdays were such happy times. She wondered how old she was… but then, catching sight of herself in the mirror, she smiled. Who cares she thought.. It is how I feel, and darn it all, I feel pretty good.
*knock *knock…” Roses for Ms Rosie”…. said a voice…
The day just couldn’t get any better thought Rosie. Every day was so full of surprises.!
We hope you had a grand day dear friends… join us again for tidbits on Rosie and her friends.
