I'm so sorry you're in pain, but glad you're finding respite. I miss seeing indigo buntings! Thanks for that, and sharing your keen observations of animals large and small. I really loved your dragonfly photo.

So glad you are feeling better! There is nothing like pain to make us feel grateful when it abates even a little. My yoga teacher has an instruction that has become a mini-practise I do periodically during the day. For just a moment, I notice where my body is touching a surface and being supported (chair, floor, bed etc.) and I ask, "Could I let go a little more into gravity?" What's amazing is that I always can! (Amazing because I am already sitting, standing or lying down.) Sending love and prayers for continued healing. And. . .when I heard the news re: the Kansas vote I was so stunned I spoke out loud to the radio, "Kansas you are tempting me to have faith in humanity once again!"

Wonderful, wonderful! Both your pain progress and your beautiful "attitude of gratitude." And your dear sweet dad, who should be canonized to sainthood! He obviously loves you very much, lucky girl! May your coming week be as blessed as the last. May you keep discovering all the beauty of what is!
