Game # 26741 And Chapter Nine!
The process of getting better can be almost as bad as being sick. You find you want to drop that head on a soft pillow as fast as spilled milk drips off a table on to a freshly mopped floor. Not quite up to running in the Kentucky Derby but feeling guilty like a puppy who has peed on the rug about accomplishing your daily routine.
The last few days have been divided between doing what I want to do and what I need to do. I have played Free Cell and ran the vacuum. When I take Brandy out to the exercise pen to do her thing I take ‘Teacher Man’ with me. I sit in the sunshine on my old green plastic lawn chair and escape for a few minutes.
I will sit at the computer and read blogs, commenting sometimes, or just enjoy a visit into another life. In the back of my head floats the thought that I should post but sometimes Free Cell or Solitaire wins the battle of the should over the does! I take time to check the E-mail and find gems that were sent to me and I smile, even laugh out loud, then proceed to pass them on because I want others to smile or laugh too.
At 7:30 this morning I hauled my old tired body, clad in nightgown and slippers, with an arm load of Brandy out to the pen. I happened to look towards the deck with the bird feeders on it and there was my first Hummingbird of the season darting up to the nectar feeder. A smile spread over this old road map of life. my ankles stopped aching, and my whole day started shining like a new penny. What a miracle it is when a tiny bird, a squirmy puppy, or the morning sunshine on your face can bring such happiness to ones life.
