I really enjoyed my first ever drawing class! I’m feeling like I am pretty slow at completing the assignments, compared to everyone else, but I’m able to do it at home and he’s very okay with moving through the lessons at our own pace. He does most of his beginner classes from the book called ” Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain”. I was pretty excited about that. I have the book, and the workbook. I’ve tried to work through it a few times, but I always end up not finishing it. I’ve actually looked up the author online to inquire whether or not they have any classes in Canada. The concept really appeals to me. I’m hoping that I come out of this course a competent drawer, maybe not amazingly talented, but able to actually draw. Now I’m going to bed.

Here’s something from June 29, 2000:

How do I step out of the box

That was crafted by you?

How do I push down the walls

When you don’t want me to?

When do I embrace myself

Without judgement or shame?

When can I shake myself free

And stop playing your game?

Why do I let you make the rules

Without seeing how I feel?

Why do I sit back and watch

While you roll the reel?

You say the rules are all made

And it’s been said and done.

Yet no one seems happy

And no one has won.

So we remain here in anguish

Each praying for more.

Can I take the first step

And open that door?

So Far So Frustrating…

Well, here I am trying out the new split Apple keyboard. I’m not sure what I think of it yet. I understand the thinking behind it, since keyboards are used less and less and most people are using smart phones and tablets these days. The thing that I’m really not that sure of is the actual size of the keyboard itself. I have big hands and, consequently, big fingers. My thumb already hits the wrong letters often, I’m not sure if I will hit the smaller ones even more! I am awake far too late again…I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. I feel crappy as it is I don’t want to make things even worse!!

I am feeling very good about our decision to take our daughter to a dance school in the city. She has finished her first week of dance and has really

WHAT THE??? I can’t see what the h I’m typing right now???!!! The stupid keyboard is covering up all of this…for all I know, it has made a dozen errors and typos and I can’t see any of them!! Too frustrating. Anything and everything that I’m trying to do to move either the writing up or the keyboard down has not worked!! Well, I guess I can give a better judgement about whether or not I like the new keyboard…NOPE!! Not anymore anyway. I was kind of getting the hand of it and seeing how it makes sense, especially on a tablet, but now that I haven’t been able to see any of this…, well I believe that it speaks for itself!! Huh… I don’t know what to do. I don’t even know if this is actually working! So so so frustrating! You’d think that there would be an automatic function that just moves the written words up as the screen fills up…this is feeling ridiculous!! I’ve decided that I will keep all that I’ve written under here, regardless of errors!! I guess if I can’t figure out how to correct this, I will have to go into settings and revert back to the regular non-split keyboard!! Well, I guess I will write about our daughter’s dance experience tomorrow. It’s super late anyway. If anyone knows ho to correct this glitchy pain in the butt issue, please let me know!!! Night all!!

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!

Lots To Do!

Had a pretty full day today, which is good and bad. It is good because if I get a couple things finished, I feel like I accomplished something!! But it’s bad because when I overdue it I tend to pay for it with worse pain later!

I went to Michaels (did I spell that wrong??? It looks weird😕🙍🏼) today to buy the supplies that I need for my beginners drawing class that starts on Monday. I am super excited about this class, but at the same time I’m also pretty nervous!! I’m not that great at drawing ! lol – I guess that’s why I’m taking the course! The strange thing is that I have always always wished that I could draw. I have a talented uncle who has used his art, numerous times in his life to support his family. My sister is also very artistic. It always seemed to come easily to her, which, I must admit, made me super envious!! Sadly I’m not naturally gifted with the artist genes. I’ve taken a few watercolour courses and loved it, but I always thought that if I knew more of the basics about drawing, I could improve my painting skills. And, I just feel like I should be drawing. It’s kind of strange thing really and difficult to explain. It’s just that For as long as I can remember I had this sense of being meant to do this, somehow mixed in with my writing…maybe this class will lead to the fulfillment of that dream. And it gets me out of the house, once a week, to do something fun for myself, which is part of my pain dr’s prescription!!

Did this post not actually upload last name??? Huh…weird!!

Reconnect With Your heart!!

Can I talk to your spirit

Can I awaken your soul

Can I break through your shell

Or is your heart made of coal

Do you feel like you’re drowning

Sucked down deeper each day

Do you grasp for a life-line

Or just look the other way

Have you given up hope

Certain you have no choice

Feeling manipulated and hurt

As if someone’s stolen your voice.

It takes courage and faith

To reconnect with your heart

It may not be easy

But it’s a great poace to start

Ewwww & Awwww…

So I have a few photos that I was going to post tonight. I’m just trying to decide which to post first. One is something that makes you respond with, “awwwww!” The others elicit a completely different response, it is “ewwwww!!” Now, do I start with the cute or end with it. I kind of feel like when you end up with the positive photo in your head you will be left with something better to focus on. So, based on that amazing explanation that, frankly, I pulled out of no-where, I will start with the “Ewwwww!!” response photos first! I have a question that goes with them. I’ll write it under the photos. If anyone has any information on this kind of stuff, I’d sure appreciate it or even where to look to find more info. Also, if it is what I think it it, should I have a Dr look at it??

So, this is the back of my upper arm. It could be in better focus, but it was just really awkward to take these photos. The question is, “Is this a spider or bug bite of some kind??” When I woke up with it yesterday, I just thought I somehow bruised my arm and couldn’t recall how (which does often happen to me!!) But then, I was looking closer and asked my girls (hubby’s out of town again😓) if they think it could be a bite of some sort and they said it did, so I took a couple photos! Answers/opinions appreciated!! Lol!!

Now, this picture is just cute…really. I just believe it will be a nicer final image to carry with you. Enjoy!!

Who needs a pillow when you have a squishy Strawberry Shortcake ball?? She, Our Aggy puppy, actually fell asleep like this!! So so so adorable 😘

PS. Sorry about last nights strange post…it was a rough day and a far far worse night. I was so exhausted I fell asleep a few times while writing and I was so out of it and the pain was just too bad and my bedtime meds had already made me somewhat zoned out of it…well, not somewhat…really out of it and so so tired! And, I hadn’t waited until my writing was done, before taking my medication, as I generally do on most occasions!! So, we’ll just look ahead or at least be in the current moment, not in the past playing the “I should have or could have…” card and/or the “what-ifs…etc.etc!!

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!

My Whole Story

Living in a bubble in my isolated world

Where up is down and yes means no

All meanings have been swirled

Moving through the fog inside my cluttered mind

Where everything seems blurry

And the truth is hard to find

Searching through the rubble inside my pain-filled past

Where maybe there are answers

To bring understanding at last

Looking ahead at how my life may unfold

Where maybe I’ll be free of pain

For my whole story has not yet been told…

Absolutely the shortest post. It’ll likely be far shorter than most!! My face hurts, my head aches and I’ve caught a cold now too. My nose just won’t stop running, I don’t know what to do…I’m falling asleep while writing this, and it makes it hard to do. OH POOP! I just dropped my iPad because of how tired I am, and that’s the scoop!!! I’m saying goodnight now, sorry this is so short. It’s all I’ve got right now, I feel so tired and out of sorts.

Okay, so this has to be super short. My pain is so high right now. I’m so tired of his same old song and dance. I just report the same thing over and over, just like a broken record! Today is exceptionally bad. It’s on both sides of my face, in my jaw, guns and teeth. It’s all the way up passed my eye on the right side. My medication is making me feel like a zombie. My hubby says that my eyes look pin-pricks again. I just can’t do this anymore tonight. I seriously need to lie down. I apologize for how short this post is. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Dr Suess is in my soul

To rhyme like him is quite the goal

It’s one I’m sure I’ll never meet

But at least I’ll try to find that beat

He was the king of talking in rhyme

He must have done it all the time

The words he chose just always fit

I wonder if he even had to try a little bit

He left behind a legacy

So many books for us to see

I’ve read them to y girls and my little boy

So many books for us all to enjoy

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!

I challenge myself to write 365 posts in 2016to heal Body, Mind & Spirit. Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
