JOURNALING

Outside on the top deck looking down the length of the Convention Center.

I picked up a book on Journaling at work yesterday.  It made me aware that I don’t really keep a journal any more.  Perhaps I just offer blurbs of the day.  Lately just a photo.  As I cleaned and tidied up for the housecleaner, I found this small bit.  Its real journaling of the tell all variety, but, believe it or not, it leaves me with a smile.

First Day Of Summer

Tooth out,

Hearing aids in.

Knee a doubtful thing

and the right shoulder

tells all its aches and pains

leaving me

without joy for a moment.

Hiatal hernia,

Gastritis,

muscular skeletal damage,

then add

chronic Pancreatitis

combined with

a pinched nerve,

collapsing

crumbling spine,

and all those

other

old folk things

plus a new bridge.

Just think of all the fun I had

working to make

these things

Mine.

• Myself:  New leg compressor that seems to stay up.  Thank you G for finding it.
• Reading:  The new Silva.
• Gratitude’s:  That I was able to laugh at that ditty.
