Healing Sun Delivery

A    L    O    H    A  !
Here Comes the Sun by Nina Simone on Grooveshark
How do YOU fill the blank?
Too many of us worry
 about the bad that can happen;
But what if 
we lived expecting
The BEST?

 "Those that think it permissible
 to tell white lies
 soon grow color blind."   

 Austin O'Malley 














 “ If only we'd stop
 trying to be happy
 we'd have a
 pretty good time. ”

 Edith Wharton
















I haven't been outside in days!
This Lingering Ick sure is. . . 
um, lingering.
Though clearly I am mending.

The mad dreams
have been the best part.
Yesterday, I was paling
around with a famous
baseball player.

The best one
was the long distance call
from my Dad,
though it stung a bit
when I woke
 and remembered.

Looking out my window,
reading your comments,
visiting your blogs 
(as I am able)
is the best part of 
this time of sickness.

When I was younger and on my own
I could not afford to get sick!

My car could NOT break down either!
(my old Volkswagens :)

Angels must have been helping me.

Somehow,
for years it all stayed together,
though now I recall,
my dad helped me out
on occasion
actually rolling up his sleeves
and going out to clean
the banks I had to clean.

Nice of him to look in again!

Let's spare a thought
for those one illness,
one paycheck away,
from homelessness-

Pursuing Sunny Dreams

A  L  O  H  A !
 " Pursuing dreams

not meant for us

is what brings 

suffering. "

Carolyn Myss










" Faith 
is the power 
to stand up to the
 madness 
and chaos 
of the physical world 
while holding the position 
that nothing external 
has any authority 
over what heaven 
has in mind for you. "

Caroline Myss








" There is no such thing 
as a simple act 
of compassion 
or an inconsequential
 act of service. 
 Everything 
we do for another person
 has infinite consequences. "

Caroline Myss

Having a temporary illness,
like cold or flu,
really makes me
A P P R E C I A TE
my state of  health.

"Healthy People Problems"
I call them,
temporary setbacks
that make us see
our greatest wealth
which we usually 
ignore.
