Thunderstorm

"I am a being of 

Heaven and Earth, 

of thunder and lightning, 

of rain and wind, 

of the galaxies."

-Eden Ahbez

Another thunderstorm brewing up

and I love being outdoors

watching, listening,

feeling the wind and the rain,

feeling alive with the energy.

Ohh, and I got my new glasses

this week.  It's a love/hate thing

but I need them to read and work

New glasses can be a pain 

when they change the Rx ---

These made me a little queasy at first!

Soup's On!

Hello!
It has been a very busy week
for me ....
a funeral for a friend's husband,
lots of work,
some time at the gym,
doctor visits,
and here i am sporting
new purple sparkly glasses!!!

Two pair, actually ....
one for reading,
the other for driving.
I can't get used to the driving
glasses... I keep wanting to look
over the top (because I can't drive
with my readers on!!! lol )

With all that going on,
I felt in need of some
comfort food and found
this recipe for
"Tortellini Soup"
Simple,
warming,
and
delicious too!
(especially with some
buttered french bread!)

Humor

Lately, I'm noticing that thing I did with ease,
things I took for granted, are now a little
different as I get older. Of course, the first
thing to go was the eyes. Reading used to
be my greatest pleasure. Thanks to large
print books, and the ability to increase the
font on my computers and the kindle, I can
still have this pleasure, its just adjusted a
little bit. But with reading glasses, it all
works out fine. Well, mostly fine.

When I send or receive a text message on
my phone, I need my glasses. I keep both
my glasses, and my phone, next to my bed
at night -- in case I get some all important
message ... Saturday morning, I'm slowly
waking up, it's early, and my phone beeps,
I have a new text.  I grab my glasses and
stick them on, and try to read my phone.
And I'm thinking "Maaaan, either my eyes
are really tired, or I need to get them checked.
I can barely see my phone this morning!!"
Squinting away, I answer my text and roll over
to catch just a few more minutes under the warm
snuggly covers. Later, when I was fully awake
and getting up, I look over at my phone,
and the glasses I'd tried to read my phone with.
I had myself a really good laugh when I realized
that I'd put on my sunglasses instead of reading glasses.
