Don't Talk Like That...

I write to find out what my heart thinks....
I am here to celebrate my life, to uncover my fears, to hold on to love, to grieve my losses, to laugh long and hard, and to learn how to live a full magnificent life with heart failure. I am honoring my creativity, and exploring all of my emotions out loud ...before anyone can say....."Don't talk like that!"

What I can do!


The treadmill is gone.  As my energy wanes, I chose to spend what I have on being productive, independent, and creative things.  The treadmill had become a big physical reminder of what I could not do anymore.  However, I will sing its praises as I am certain the hours I spent on it have had a great deal to do with my endurance now!  In its place is this bench that I stained to match (well kind of match, close gets the cigar in my house) Skip’s grandmother Evans wardrobe and the coffee table Skip and I made.  Feels like a uniting of the room and the generations…The pillows have been around for a while, but I did hand paint them and that gets a little color and balance to that side of the room…And I did it myself…well, the staining and the pillows…now it is a reminder of what I can do instead of a big ugly symbol of what I cannot do.
