A whole world of painting and poetry reside there to inspire you.<br /><br />Mom is well, all things considered. Thank you, for remembering. The beauty of the changing seasons have been inspiring me with much to write about.<br />Joy, your beautiful turtle painting inspired my poem to you. You are a very talented artist. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-30809860651979871312017-04-25T07:45:50.860-07:002017-04-25T07:45:50.860-07:00You go Jan.

I don't know about you, but any fracture at our age is a slow healing process. So, if you have a dancer's fracture, does that mean you were dancing? Best wishes for your healing.<br />Thank you for your encouragement and for being there when I needed your hugs.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-40637549302949617152017-04-25T07:41:38.544-07:002017-04-25T07:41:38.544-07:00Thanks so much Joan.

I've been able to walk my long, steep drive way down to the mailbox and back. Each day it gets better. I'm now three weeks into my 6 to 8 week prognosis and feeling lots better.<br />How are things with you?

The amazing thing to me is how much more I notice when I'm going slow.<br />I hope your own broken places have not left scars.<br />And, I too hope that a month from now I will hardly remember any pain.<br />Each day gets better.<br />Thanks for the hugs.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-88950689040904280152017-04-20T13:40:27.144-07:002017-04-20T13:40:27.144-07:00Joy,

An amazing person like you will thunder & sidestep & straight-on & slide back & pour on & wiggle through., somehow this impossibly tough work tasked to you. It must be an awful physical pain on the broken places, from the monk seal sightseeing-by-bike day. Today is 20 April. I hope this day in May you will feel you have traveled far on your way. jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.com
