Nourish my Soul


I am one who flits from flower to flower looking for nourishment. I am one who is looking for the best way to nourish my soul.

I continue to look for the best ways for me to grow spiritually. The religion of my youth was a great base to build on, but the organized part does not seem to fit me like it did when I was younger. My religion was a cloak to wear that protected me from harm, but didn't seem to keep me nourished. I am looking for the nourishment, not so much the protection.

Wisdom

I am one who has the knowledge of the world at her fingertips. I am one who has wisdom.

I am feeling old this week. Health issues are harder to resolve. I am tired and just wish I could figure out what is going on and how to heal myself!

Jewels of my life

I am one who carries with me all of the jewels I have been given throughout my life. I am one who knows that these jewels can be a heavy burden, but are well worth the effort. I am one who shared these jewels with those that I meet on my path. I am one who has the strength to carry this jewels because I have a very supportive partner.

This is a great reminder of all that I have been given in my life. The pretty, the plain, the glitzy bits of my life are an important part of me that I wear with pride. I hope that all these bits of me show through in how I live my life. I try to be compassionate, caring, non-judgmental but also keep my strength in place to protect myself and those around me.

I am supported by a wonderful husband and family. They make the burden light.

Blessing in Diguise

I am one who has riches flowing down to me. I am one who knows that I am not like the crowd and look at riches differently than they do. I am one who knows that these riches can be viewed as a burden to protect yourself from.

This card is interesting to me. Right now we will be spending a lot of money to help out our son. He is going through a break up and will be moving back to TX. He has no job and is in school so his girlfriend had been supporting him. He graduates this summer, so it shouldn't be long term.

It is a blessing that he is coming home, but blessings can sometimes be a burden as well. There will be another person in the house and a cat too. All things to get used to after our empty nest home is filled again!

Time to Heal

I am one who is taking the time to heal. Who feels the pressure of the time passing, but is willing to use the time to let my body heal.

This laying around not able to do anything is driving me crazy! I see all this stuff that needs doing, but the minute I do anything, I am in pain and start to bleed more. So I continue to lay around, read and watch TV.

I went to a NYE party last night and it really wore me out. But I didn't do anything to make it worse, I am just tired. I really needed the time with people outside the family!

Path to Wellness


I am one who is carefully making my way to freedom. I am one who knows to watch for the pitfalls on my journey to wellness. Who is carrying a burden that puts me off balance at times.

I continue to heal from my surgery. Saw the doctor yesterday since I was still bleeding and the nurse thought I should. It appears that what is going on is normal, but the day of complete rest between the call and seeing the doctor probably helped the most. Sometimes we need a little scare to get us to pay attention.

I must continue to walk the path to wellness and look for ways for that to happen. I got two new cookbooks for Christmas. Now to be well enough to start cooking. I am really grateful that my son is here from Tampa. He has made my life easier since the surgery and continues to remind me to take it easy. I really wished he lived closer!

Protection

I am one who is aware of the protection of the ancestors. I am one who lives with their knowledge and guidance. I am one who knows that I am being cared for and supported by those who surround me, living and dead.

Today I will have surgery to repair a rectocele. Pretty common surgery, but not a lot of fun for recovery. I was told to expect that I won't want to sit for any length of time for 1-2 weeks. So I am looking for the support of family and friends and those who have gone before me. I ask for guidance for the surgeon, Melody Denson, and all the staff of Seton Medical Center.

It is fitting that the beginning of this problem, the birth of my first child, should finish at the same medical facility. It reminds me of the circle of life. Learning from those who go before, listening and supporting with compassion to all those around us.

May I keep an open heart and a positive attitude even if there is a lot of pain and discomfort.
I look forward to the week of Christmas with my family. No matter how I feel, I am so grateful they are there for me.
