Sunshine Yellow

This morning Oregon is just a wet sponge! Every thing is drippy, wet and cold. So I got up anyway and made my way to
Community center at 7:00 AM. I like Saturday mornings because I beat all the weekend sleepy heads. First I went to the whirlpool for a bit of warmth then on to do stair walking in the pool. The Doctor won't let me swim for two more weeks, so I decided that meant only from the waist up! Then I went to the work out room and did some "core work" on the big bright red and orange balls. The gentle stretches feel so good. I even tackled the NIA class which is all bounce and movement. The instructor is a tiny little thing with a big butterfly tattooed on her back. She wanted us to introduce ourselves with a name and color. So I said my name was a statement of faith my color was Sunshine Yellow!

Every one jumped, danced and flowed across the dance floor. I looked like a little hurt bird at the back of the room with one left wing broken and tucked up under my arm but I did not care, I just hung on the the ballet bar and swayed to the music anyway!

Pray for me next week, I have three Doctor appointments and a lot of decisions and modalities of treatment to think about. Love You All
Just "Me"

Earth Child

Free of spirit
Filled with Dreams
Earth Child wanders
Woodland streams

Bare of foot
On mossy bed
Half-moon glow
Upon her head

Guiding star
Sheds mellow light
As wisps of satin
Brush the night.
