Relapse

It has not been a good couple of weeks. I had a relapse and spent Saturday morning at Urgent Care. Had to take Mom to Urgent Care this morning as she was getting worse, too. Not a good way to start Mother's Day. My poor brother came all the way from Texas and we've been sick almost his entire visit.

All is ok, though, and we are doing our best to get better.

On a good note, things have been selling very fast in my consignment space. I need to get well so I can get busy and collect more treasures to sell. Also, my son's wedding is at the end of this month ~ I have a number of things to do in preparation for that.

I will try to get back to regular blogging as soon as possible. I know my posts and comments have been few and far between.

Sorry.

Here's to hoping that the second round of meds helps a lot and that you can be comfortable. Congrats on your consignments shop sales!

XXOO!!

Jan said...: I'm so sorry to hear you are still sick! You were forced to get to work too soon before you were fully recovered. I'm glad you are having good sales, at least that will help make up for your discomfort. I hope your dear mother is resting better now too. I won't crack the whip and make you get back to working out any time soon.

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

~ James Kavanaugh

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
