Rosemary's Blessing: 

 

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

Touched By An Angel,  Maya Angelou

1.  Thanks, Everyone, for making our celebration terrific.  It is so good to be home with you again. 

2.  10 more days of freedom until Feb. 24, when the right hip gets recycled.  I cannot wait!  Can you believe this.  First I was home bound a month; then my first day of freedom, snow bound.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

 

May God’s love and mercy encircle you today

With living laughter that renews and saves

May bright hope lead you further on your way

And in your life may you celebrate his word

And be a witness to a gentle and gracious Lord.

The Status of The Hip:

1.  Looking forward to Sunday, Feb. 14.  Welcome, Everyone, to the Old Bionic Geezer's Birthday 70.  Covered dish, A-O, hors d'oeurves & main courses; P-Z deserts.  We celebrate also Valentines Day, Mardi Gras, and Chinese New Year.  Welcome!!

2.  This Wednesday is the last day of being home bound.  It has not been bad.  The gray weather did not invite me outside and all the windows in the house bring the outdoors in.

3.  The physical therapist discharged me today, Saturday.  Lots of positive strokes and affirmation.  We will team up again on the Feb. 24 operation.

4.  Thanks for all the care.  Who Dat Won Dat Superbowl!  Can't believe it!   See you Next Sunday!
