Sunday's Grace Notes

Sunday's Grace Notes

Letting people talk about themselves... it makes their day, learning how to listen, little finches, really good scalloped potatoes, day dreaming about "my dream art studio... wanna come along?, buying ten items from the snack machine so that I have change to buy the Sunday newspaper... a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Celebrate the day!

A day in the rehab center/nursing home

Today I painted 25 5x7 watercolor note cards for a show in downtown Jax... all cupcakes. I did about 15 pen and ink palm tree drawings, played piano, played guitar and have plans to do the same. tomorrow. I pass out simple cards and the other roomies love them. One said today "Well damn!" I wanted to say "no shit!". Life is fun. I talk to stroke victims and tell them as they drool "I know you are in there. I've been there. I understand". And they do. I hold hands, stroke hair and open milk cartons. I'm supposed to be here. Seven weeks guys..... I miss my home but it's here for now. Hey, I paint and they bring me food. How cool is that?

Hugs

Saturday's Grace Notes

Saturday's Grace Notes

Another new sunrise, being served breakfast, getting my life back, the human spirit, being open to love others and to be loved, my power wheelchair, and taking responsibility for my own joy.

Celebrate the day!

Friday's Grace Notes

Friday's Grace Notes

Cheering up fellow rehab patients, Food Channels show "Chopped", Bravo's show "Rocco's Dinner Party",  quiet time, "getting the ball rolling", having a home to go home to and lizard and hummingbirds outside my small hospital window... little blessings.

Celebrate the day!

Celebrate the day... not the Celebrex

Celebrate the day... not the Celebrex

Five percent of patients who take celebrex run the risk of kidney damage.  Lucky me.  I'm one of the five percent.  Now I can no longer take pain medicine and any meds for my rheumatoid arthritis. Ow.

Thursday's Grace Notes

Thursday's Grace Notes

Make up....  thank god for make up!  Hospital food (well at least I don't have to cook it), "have paints, will travel" even in a nursing home, reaching out to my elderly roomies and meeting them where they are at even if they can't hear and understand, new art and piano students, and the promise of a new day.

Celebrate the day!
