I want enough time to be in love with everything.

Cancer Dharma. My life with Terminus has become increasingly blurry in shades of gray and black and white.

Domino belongs to one of the doctors at the Van Scott Cancer Center. The fish lives in a large aquarium located in the waiting room.

Scavenger Hunt 3

A few more finds from Keri Smith’s book The Pocket Scavenger. I would like to include some of these as part of #The100DayProject.

Four pines were removed at Castle Greystone.
We record our activities on this group calendar in an effort to not over schedule.
The pineapple flavor is my favorite.
Soon we will be enjoying some delicious sweet tea.

QOTD: “You are free to regularly revise your philosophy of life to account for the ever-changing contours of your own destiny and the ever-evolving urgencies of our shared culture.

You are free—FREE!!!!—to care dearly about what images and stories and words you allow to flood into your sacred imagination. You are free to regard omnipresent advertising as a form of propagandistic brainwashing. You are free to recognize that other people’s freedoms are as important as yours.” ~ Rob Brezsny

Watercolors in a little ceramic tray.

I’m still painting a little. It’s enjoyable when I’m feeling good.

Today I visited the cardiologist to check my pacemaker battery and some arterial calcification that showed up on a bone scan He said I had another year on this battery. He also said he wasn’t going to do anything about my heart unless it was a problem for me. He made it clear he wanted me to concentrate on treating Terminus rather than having a heart thing and a cancer thing going on at the same time. I appreciate that.
Waiting in the waiting area.
A cute figurine in the treatment area window. I took this with a Kodak Print-o-matic.
We arrived back at Castle Graystone and discovered this pile of pine trees. The tree guys had removed four pines that were too close to the building.

Pictures of pictures.
The second series of photos for #The100DayProject. These were taken with a Kodak Mini Shot 3 Square Retro Instant Camera.

My awesome sister. She has taken care of me since I’ve been sick. She and her husband picked me up from WHQ where I lay dying and brought me to their home and medical care.
When chemotherapy caused sores in my mouth. I was given “magic” mouthwash. It works well numbing the pain and helping to heal the sores.
Me and my shadow out for a walk. I’m slowly building up my strength by walking a little more each day.
Aren’t these lovely roses? They were part of my sister’s Valentine’s Day.

Here I am. I’ll never be cured but I have improved over the last year.

QOTD: “There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,” he ruminated, “trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.” ~ Aldous Huxley

Pictures of pictures. Here is the first series of photos for #The100DayProject. These were taken with a Kodak Mini Shot 3 Square Retro Instant Camera. Not my best work but I’m learning a lot.

A mess I’ve piled up on the piano.
We went for a delicious Mocha Frappe at Bullet Coffee Company. We sat in the car enjoying our beverages.
I use an Amazon box as a painting table. Works well, it’s ok to mess it up and I can recycle it when I am done.
A lovely pork loin for supper.

My current journey is leading me further down the rabbit hole than I have ever been before.

QOTD: “Enjoy the ride before the destination. Life moves on in the blink of an eye and you might be missing ‘life’ itself while chasing your future or hanging out in your past. God forbid you miss the journey. ” ~ Me

Terminus Update

8 Comments

After six months of chemotherapy it was time for new scans. Has the cancer spread? Has it been reduced in size and spread. We had a bone scan and a CT scan.

The results were revealed this week. Terminus has not spread. It has actually diminished a bit. The lymph nodes are cancer free. There is no cancer in the bones. Things aren’t a lot better and not worse. Basically good news.

QOTD: “The real secret of magic is that the world is made of words,” said Terence McKenna, “and that if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish.”

So cold.

I don’t thrive in the cold. I’ve been cold so long. The house where I stay isn’t kept very warm. It’s a coat on inside kind of place.

It’s been a while since my last blog. After Christmas I had another chemo treatment. That’s had me weak, tired and sick. It’s not easy to create when I feel bad. Feeling kinda bad today. sigh

The red room bedroom. lol I spend way too much time in this room.
