Rosemary's Blessing:  

Come, O Dancing God, Spirit of Life and Love, of Beauty and Diversity, stir up my soul, bathe me in your light, and unleash my own spirit that I may dance with you and be light for those around me and reflect your love to all that I meet this week.

     May the sun bring you new energy by day

    May the moon softly restore you by night

    May the rain wash away your worries

    Rosemary's Blessing: 

     

    May God bless you with tears…
    to shed for those who suffer from pain,
    rejection, starvation and war.
    May God bless you so that
    you may reach out your hand
    to comfort them and turn their pain into joy.

    The Status of The Hip:

    1.  Been off pain meds since Tuesday.  Not because of being macho.  Just no pain.

    2.  The physical therapist says the therapy is going so good that probably Monday we will get rid of the walker and use a cane to walk with.

    3.  I was told one hour of being up, one hour of rest.  So true.  After an hour sitting up, I am exhausted and can sleep an hour.  In fact, I am delighted that the exhaustion, the trembles, the cold to the bone feeling, and the dizziness at the end of the hour has gone away a day or so ago.   

    4.  Thanks for everything, the food, the special, community blessed shawl, and the affirmation.
