My Head Might Explode Some Day


 Stress and more stress. Lung cancer,  leukemia, broken ribs and other sick people surround me.

I am well, but I worry alot, a whole lot of family members and friends who are currently in treatment for bad diseases. Strokes, and dementia and seeing family lose their minds. I take it all in and then, I crash.

I crash big. I can't think, my mind goes foggy and huge depressions blankets my soul. I am usually a very positive person. But, now I find despair learning of friends and family members who are in treatment.

I want to cry and scream. I want to make everything better and I can not. I want to visit my sister, and I don't want to see her suffer, stumble over her word since her strokes, and taking in chemotherapy. 

I feel alone, and frightened. I see no hope or solutions. I feel like the little chicken who was in therapy years ago when I needed to learn how to cope with people, strangers,  family and friends. I lacked the skill. And now my brain just shuts down. It can not cope. Once again, I can not cope. Have I not learned anything over the years. Years of yoga, and Zen teaching should be helping me now. But it does not. I go insidmy shell and hide from everything. I go down this deep hole and hide.

After 35 years of marriage we still have fun



 Just saying, it is good to marry your best friend. We do have ups and downs but, we work out the problems and move on. Best anniversary present ever. Glenn finally agreed to bring down from the attic my back swing. Ah....stretching my back at home again and stopping the vertebrates from rubbing the sciatic nerve to drive me crazy.
It is the  little things in life that make me happy. Flowers, good food and zero pain.
