A pleasant physician's note
07/26/2005 05:04 p.m.

Since I'm doing the medical transcription for my own physician, I was privvy to the information she put in my initial visit with her. She wrote, and it tickles me beyond any number of things she might have said, "She looks far younger than her stated age." Heeeheee.

Four and a half miles
07/25/2005 05:06 p.m.

My aunt, uncle, myself and two of my children went hiking yesterday up Mt. Hood. OMG, it was gorgeous! My aunt told me the trail was "easy" but after 2 /12 miles breathless miles UP and 2 1/12 easier miles down, my muscles are saying, "EASY? Are you KIDDING?" LOL!!! It was a hike along the river, up to a place with a magnificent falls. So, all the way up is the sound of the white water, birds, breezes through the trees...the apple at the falls tasted better than ANY apple I've ever eaten anytime in my whole life. I can't wait to go again!

There was a hummingbird
07/21/2005 03:51 p.m.


I love my aunt, who is more like a sister to me than an aunt. We were having an indepth spiritual discussion last night on her porch, watching the river sparkle with the very last shreds of the sunset, when this hummingbird came and hovered nearly close enough to touch. It made quite a beautiful spectical of itself, and we stopped talking in the awe of it. Then, it flew under the awning of the porch, stopped, looked at us, and flew back out. It was amazing!!! A hummingbird is all about joy, about being multidirectional, about sweetness and being happy, and that was JUST what we were talking about! I am still in a state of being joyfully stunned.

I AM loving it!!!
07/20/2005 08:57 p.m.


I am loving my job, just like I thought I would. So, which came first....the THOUGHT that I would love it, and then the love, or the actual enjoyment and then the love? *laughing*

Life is so good! I have all I need in this moment and I choose to require nothing more at this particular time. There is so much joy and so much hope for joy in the coming days, I am really looking forward to living. :-)

The kids are good. Relationships with my family are good. Relationship with John is good (despite the occasional grief that must be processed in regards to him).


Whoda thunk it?

P.S. This new office provides the most awesome, FREE, healthy snacks!!

Started a new job!
07/14/2005 11:45 p.m.
I think I am going to love it. It is as a medical transcriptionist, and even though it is a little monotonous, I think I'm good at it (I pick up the medical jargon like I am remembering it from a past life or something...LOL) and it's going to be a great fit. It isn't full time, but it'll be a great "extra" job for when I finally find another permanent full time job. I know of a couple looming on the horizon, I know the people that would hire me and they know my skills, so hopefully one of those possibilities will work out. One of the perks of being 42 and having good friends, I guess.

Today I am grateful, thankful to be in the sun and happy. Thankful we have a library I can visit to check in online.

*sighing a happy sigh*

Life is good.

Today is better
07/13/2005 10:23 p.m.

Today is definitely better. It always gets better. Sometimes it cycles back around and bites you in the butt again, but for now the day is sunny.

Took the kids to a little place off of the river. Got sunburned. The first sunburn of the season, what a funny summer this is. But we danced and swam and ate sandwhiches that had too much mayonaise. I love my kids.

It wasn't too expensive of an outing, either. We'll have to make plans to do it some more before the speeding summer has gone by.

This hollow
07/12/2005 08:20 p.m.

It's a delusion to be sure, for I am not empty. It just feels like there is an echo of things bouncing around in there, and nowhere for them to take hold and land anymore. Just the grief and loss process, I'm sure.

Papers are all filled out and waiting to be filed. I don't want to embrace failure one more time, even though in the embrace is a freedom that I know we both need - freedom from the stress, the things that didn't work, the blame and hurtful words, the hope that needs to be put away now.

I can't stop crying. I've been crying all morning, even here at the library, I can't bid the tears to stay back. Part of me has been told that there is a choice somewhere I could make not to feel this pain, but I can't seem to find the exit.

An explanation, just to make it clear
07/06/2005 12:20 a.m.
You’ve come for a visit (from another planet)
And it thrills me to the bone (how exciting to meet you)
Your brilliant eyes
Reflections of a great sun (on your planet, the sun is a god)
From far, far away
A well of kindness (which you are bringing to so many)
My dipper full again and again

I want to dance with you (wouldn't that be fun?)
Cosmic shimmer of a new vibration (you don't vibrate at the rate of humans)
My inner being awakened at last
Kiss of your heart (your kind heart has kissed so many humans)
I am remembering
All of it coming together
In a vast eternity
Your sweet breath (breath being equal to spirit)
Immortality’s fragrance summoning my presence


Now, put in that light, this piece was just a little fodder for a sci-fi imagination...and that's what I meant. Still I understand that the interpretation is also left up to the reader...

It's a pain for sure

Boy, I'll sure be glad when I get internet access back at home. This being without a computer is suffocating my muse!!!
