tired takes on new meaning

This was a picture a did a while back. I titled it, Dragon Soft, you’ve seen it before shortly after I painted it. As sometimes happens, I paint something put it away, and don’t look at it again, till doing something else I come across it.
Today we are moving into several weeks into the journey of our cancer voyage. Each day is a new day, nd every day, I am blessed with the kind words, and messages of friends who remind me that they are holding us in their prayers and sending healing vibes our way.
It is an amazing feeling to know that there is such caring and thoughtfulness surrounding us. I appreciate it especially when out of the blue, I am struck down with an over-whelming feeling of “tired”. It is like nothing I’ve ever known, and I really can’t describe it. Everything just seems to grind to a halt.. and I NEED.. to sit down, close my eyes, and just wait for the moment to pass.
When my husband is out, I find I’m waiting for him to come home, just so I know he is safe. I know that over the course of the next weeks, even months.. I will be inconsistent with my blog. I beg your patience. I am eternally grateful for your continued friendships and support.

This beautiful gal is one of the whippets we visited the other day. Look how amazing her colouring is. Her top coat a soft fawn, with a delightful pattern of dots showing through. There is something very humbling about how a dog will engage in an interaction with a human. She is standing here with her trainer, happy to share the limelight with him. Unconditional love.


Some doors, are simply necessary. required to gain access to a building for service or product. Other doors, also serve a similar need, but look very different, and what they deliver is often more philosophical, and/or spiritual.


Your glow




We’ve had some time now to think about and mull over the “visitor” we have in our home. We didn’t go looking for our house guest, but then I don’t think that many people go in search of inviting cancer into their lives.
There is a hodge podge of this and that. nothing is planned, it just happens. A patch of flowers, different shapes, sizes and colours of greens all come together to allow for crickets and critters of various shapes and species to mingle and cross paths.
I’ve decided that cancer just didn’t happen, it found its way in, and was allowed to settle in grow and fester. Ownership has to be taken for this. Only in accepting this fact, can we move on and make friends with it. Find out what it will take for it to go away, and then work faithfully, and with dedicated purpose to ease it out of our lives.
Look carefully, there is a path. It is hidden if you just glance, but if you take your time and look … you will find a way, a path to follow. Life is always open to change. Prayer and faith are the most direct path in our connection/relationship to/with God/Universe. I believe that whatever the outcome, it will be what is best.
Cancer is a world changer, we are blessed that we found out in time, that it had come into our lives. Knowing, means that now we can work with the specialists and take the necessary steps to improve our lives, and work positively towards a healthier outlook and lifestyle.
