The World Turtle, also called the Cosmic Turtle or the World-bearing Turtle,

The water animals summoned a great turtle and patted the earth upon its back. At once the turtle grew and grew, as did the amount of earth. This earth became North America, a great island. – The Haudenosaunee Creation Story

QOTD: “What is the most important breakthrough for me to accomplish in the next six weeks?” ~ Rob Brezsny
I think my answer is “move to a different home”. Hard to be sure with all the medical surprises.

February 2022.

In February 2022 I was camping full time. I was very active, easily hiking and riding my bicycle for miles.

April 2023

Amazing how much has changed in a year. Today I can barely walk to the mailbox and back.

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

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.

I had a lovely birthday.
The pound cake is delicious and I still had enough wind to blow out the candles.

My brother-in-law and sister gave me a card, a cool shirt and a Tervis tumbler. Unexpected presents.

A Y’all Sweet Tea t-shirt. Pretty cool.

I am blessed.

10 of Rainbows

This card points to the oneness we share with others. It encourages us to see where we are the alike rather than focusing on our differences. WE ARE ONE!
