RE: feelings

The other Bajan is sneaking back home.....lol...it is so nice to see you weave those words again with that poetic paintbrush. I have missed your words more that I knew. But there they were again...."puts heavy canvas folds around my thoughts and blurs the edges of my intentions before I get to see them and hobbles my thought process as if it were a restless horse."

Thanks for the taste, Now get back to the healing! And may your journey be only upward from here, with the most difficult leg already behind you.

RE: Updating briefly.

Such great news!!!! Never had a doubt in my mind that you won't start to improve. Slow and easy there lady, those steriods can make you overdo if given the chance.

'bout time those doctor's got their butts in gear.

RE: Getting to the point - part two

Do you think the friends don't know what to say? It is odd when the friend that has been the strong one needs help. You have been the one they looked to for wisdom and guidance, maybe they don't feel they have the insight and courage to come up with the support that you need right now?

As a friend of mine pointed out to me one day, maybe their lack of response is one of their weak points that they haven't needed to cultivate as it was met in other ways.

Your blog also brought up an important point that I also just discovered. I have copies of most of my medical records now. 6 months ago I discovered ALL of mine were missing. My doctor left town and never forwarded any medical records.

I think your determination to find and face your treatment will be the winning factor in your recovery. And yeap! I am going for recovery, as I am the optimist.

RE: The other side of Me

You will always be the dancer and the poet. you on from the audience.

RE: Finding the right page

Good (misspelled twice as goof, and both my hands work, just not my brain this early) Morning.

Friends will ride this journey with you, today and in the days ahead. You are in my thoughts. Your logic is amazing to read, and your clarity to thought sounds strong.

Strength and friendship from afar,

Joan

RE: I wander and no doubt wonder

Patiences is not a virtue for some of us. The need to get things done and behind us can be hard to deal with, when others hold some of the cards. I hope today runs smoother for you and the sun shines brightly.

RE: A long moment looking outward so, in two parts!

You have said with great words the feelings that many of us can not express. Hugs from afar, my friend. Please know that an ear is always available here. But sometimes even strong independant friends can't come up with the right words sometimes.

RE: If you hate the topic

It would be interesting to know how many sit on the sidelines, waiting for the battles to burn themselves out. How many new singles have come to check out the site, and left before they even joined? My self-imposed vacation will continue for a while. The natives are too restless for me and age has taught me that many things are not worth my energy any more.


But I still look forward to your well chosen words, please keep sharing them.

RE: the Briar and the rose

Very nice. It reminds me of the old song "Barbara Allen." The last two verses anyway.

They buried him in the old church yard,
And Barbara lain beside him,
And from his heart grew a red, red rose,
And from hers there grew a briar.

They grew and grew upon the wall
Till they could grow no higher,
Until they tied a true lovers knot,
The red rose and the briar.

RE: Words are what I have ...

Oops..fixed the email problem if you should ever wish to write again. I forgot I had other countries blocked.

I think we share some similar journeys as I find many of your thoughts and words conjuring up feelings I haven't revisited in a while. Peaceful evening to you.

RE: WHO AM I?

"I am shackle and lock on open door." I really like the use of the words in this line. Very nicely done, do you post in the poetry forum?
