CD: Change in the Air

Carpe Diem #562 ~ Hot Springs

smoky mist rises
heat off the back of autumn
reveals new clarity

dVerse: Ch..ch..ch..ch...ch...changes

dVerse: Open Link Night

in the blink of an eye
my world has changed
puppy chaos and laughter
scattered brain syndrome
which may be from lack of sleep
or ongoing neurofeedback

internal changes continue
anxiety decreasing
joy increasing
health is good
except for aches and pains
some go with age
some with not moving
after many surgeries
six years ago

puppy got me moving
surprising myself
getting through each day
watched a scary movie
by myself
and wasn't scared
a miracle i wanted to watch

all is changing
no time and/or focus for writing
neurofeedback messing with
brain connections
in a good way
missing haiku and twitter
embracing real life fur baby

i've known of the puppies
since the day they were born
i chose my favorite from
the weaning line up
the fawn colored one
before i knew having her
was even possible

now ten weeks later
the golden fluffball is mine
ready to bring her home
in three days
my life will change
our home life will change

i'm in love with this puppy
since first glimpse
cinched with first touch
and her first kiss on my face
all awaits her arrival

my five years of non-movement
are about to change
just preparing has me moving more
relishing when she will play
with her new toys
and snuggle with me
on the sofa

i'm so attached to my computer
and that will change drastically
will miss my writing
but will have more living
more to be inspired to write
when that time is available

today i had an invitation to join
january's mindful stone writing month
that's what got me back to writing
last year
the blog...this blog...i started
for my stones
has been my sanctuary

thank you to all who have visited
become my cyber support and friends
i will join when i can 
know you have all touched me
in a deep and wonderful way
the way the world should
treat each other
am honored to be part of this beautiful
online writing community

dVerse: Change Is Possible

dVerse: OpenLinkNight

never give up
i learned this week
sometimes compromise
comes at odd times
my husband who has asthma
and has fear of the fear
of an allergy
was steadfast about 
no furry critters

"even hypoallergenic dogs
have dander"
he reminds me
i've been furry petless
more than a decade
love my turtle and tortoise
but i miss the cuddles
and face licks
and being silly

realizing how much
i needed a furry companion
in my life
he began to open up
"i'll call my doctor"
"i'll see an allergist for something
in case i do sneeze or wheeze"
we did a doggie trial
with the breed we want
no swollen eyes or inhaler

yesterday i chose my puppy
from the now five-week-old litter
she won't come home for
another five weeks
she will get me moving again
a reason to move off the sofa
an issue i've had since 2007
one of my mind messages
not yet healed by neurofeedback

after committing to a life
without another cat or dog ever
i have more love for my husband
for allowing himself to open his mind...
accept change even if a bit uncomfortable
i'm in heaven
preparing for our new arrival
