Woke up to pair of fledged copper hawks talking to their parent, our blueberry tree ripe with blueberries attached by a family of racoons, and nesting ants under front outdoor entrance deck.

 

After a week of rain, hurricane Irma pass by and hot then cold weather.....this has been the July of Julys.

One big setback, pulling the thigh muscle of my new knee side. Picked up a soaking wet large birthday present left on our front deck. I used the wrong leg (leg) to walk over the threshold, and my left thigh went into a cosmic muscle spasm. The only words that came out of my mouth was ICE,NOW!!!

My knee confidence was destroyed. Going up or down stairs was a long and painful task. Today, a week later, the muscle has calmed down. My new knee has not calmed down. To make maters worse, we have had a week of record cold, hot, raining, storms weather. So, my arthritis has kicked in. They say you can learn from bad experiences. I have learnt that I MUST BE MORE PATIENT. Healing is a long process. It can not be rushed. Rest when the body calls for sleep, there is healing going on.  Respect this healing. Learn from this experience. There are things you can not rush, control or be in charge of. Let the body be your teacher and experience self healing for your body.
