Hello peeps!

Happy Friday to all and I hope you are looking forward to the weekend and have something fun planned or at least you are going to relax and kick your heels up...

I got the first injection in my knee yesterday afternoon... let me just say that it was not fun at all! I didnt think it would be but YUCK! it was not very pleasant, however.... yes, you know I've got to focus on the bright side and yes there IS a bright side. My knee feels a smidgon better this morning. No bone grinding this morning when I got outta bed and that is a good thing. Only 2 more injections to go and then we will see about the surgery.

So here we are and it is Friday! Now I know I normally post Friday Fives where I ask five questions or in the olden days... I love saying that..... we used to post Five Friday Fun Facts about ourselves... well not today! I am gonna give you something to think about today and I want you to answer only 1, yes ONE question for me today. I am giving you a break because it is a loaded question... HA HA... See.. you aren't gonna get off THAT easy! Okay ready??? here is the question.

Let say you are about to sit down and have a cup of coffee in a nice little cafe... maybe it is an open air cafe or maybe it is at the local bookstore.... anyway... you are expecting a very special guest... you might find yourself a bit nervous or maybe you are comfortably at ease... you look up and see your guest arriving and right on time! He looks different than you imagined as you have never seen your guest in person before. You invite him to sit down and you ask him if he wants anything to drink... perhaps a Chia Latte or a little Caramel Mocha Latte.... he says yes and when you come back you both comment on how good the java taste. Then you settle in for a good long conversation. Wanna know who your guest is? It is the Big Kahuna.... the great Budda... the almighty....your higher power... your Great Spirit.... whatever it is that you call him (or her)...
It is GOD! Yes he is sitting right there beside you having a cuppa joe with you... Now here's the question of the day....
If you are sitting across from the big man... what are you going to talk about? What is it that you would want to discuss with him....
No this is not like saying a prayer everyday... or making a wish list of things you want... this is about having a conversation to talk about whatever you want to talk about... Is there something you want to ask? Would you have a serious dicusssion about something specific? Try to not make it like generalized like... I want world peace... but what would your dicussion look like? What would you say?

See I told ya it was a loaded question... I am looking forward to your answers. Ta Ta now.....

Love,
PolarB ;)

Editing to add my own answer...

If I were to sit down with the Great Spirit I think I would want to talk to him about the shape the world is in... I would want to know how much further he was going to let all the things like greed violence and killings, abuse of all humankind and animals and all the other ways people disrespect and hurt one another...go on... I would ask him if he thought it was high time to put a stop to it... or if he was just waiting for the world as we know it to completely self destruct...

I would talk to him about all the awful fires and world tragedies that we experience almost on a daily basis... I would speak of the unneccessary wars and innocence lives being slaughtered everyday and of the thousands of people who are starving and dying of diseases or homeless and lonely with no where to go... I would ask him why we have children and women on the streets selling their bodies in order to survive. I would wonder and want answers as to why it has had to go this far and I want to know exactly how much further it is going to go before he does something about it.

Sure there are individuals in the universe that do care and want to stop things like global warming and save the environment and who want to stand up for the atrocities that are inflicted upon human beings everyday...but it just doesn't seem to be enough to stop it from happening... we can care all we want and we can all do our fair share but it never seems to be enough to actually stop it. We need something bigger with more power than all of us combined to right the wrongs that have been occuring with more frequency than rabbits in heat.

I would want to know what his plan was after the destruction of what we know know as our world. Will we be able to live in peace and joy and harmony with one another and could he hurry that along because I am getting rather impatient. I dont want to see pain and suffering anymore or hear of how humans are hurting one another. I want it to stop.

I think this would have to be over more than one or two cups of coffee. I would definately have to schedule a follow up session to check the progress and to hold him to his word.

 

The Path I Tread

 

 

I’ve been walking on this weary path for so many years

It has led me to new places I never dreamed possible.

With each salty bitter tear I cried

And each drop of blood I sacrificed

I have found my inner most being

It is the discovery of my true soul

That was lost in the deep dark recesses

Of my mind and my broken spirit

That is the most precious gift recovered

 

I once was afraid and alone

With the terror that gripped me

With it’s talon cold steel claws

That threatened to tear my soul to shreds

But alas, I did not drown

In my own despair

For there was a light within

And with each step I took

The small dim light became brighter

 

There were times in my struggles

That the road was demanding and strenuous

And I thought it would devour and consume me

And I would be lost forever

Caged within my own personal Hell.

But I crawled and I clawed my way

Fighting and gasping for air, for life

To live free from my demons…

My fears… my insecurities…

 

I held fast onto Hope

And that quiet little voice within me

That told me to keep moving forward

I listened and I focused on her voice

The calm wise one within

And as I did…

The light became brighter

 

I could see into the opening of the abyss

With trepidation I edged closer to the light

And it became like golden embers

With courage I stepped forward

And out of the dark dank hole

And into the healing light

My soul was surrounded

By the gold white healing light

And it washed over me and cleansed me

All the hurt, pain and suffering

Of my wounded past and the terror

That had me bound drifted down

Into the purifying waters

 

I opened my eyes and watched them sail away

Carried down the healing rivers

Into the Land of Utopia

I looked around with new eyes

And a new vision and it brought me

A feeling beyond lightness

Into my heart and into my being.

 

At last I was surrounded in healing love

And my soul had been freed

From the cages that had been

My prison since birth.

 

This path that was once cloaked

In darkness and in poisonous thorns

And mass groves of binding thicket monstrosities

Had become paved in white healing light

Filled with love and purity

And as I look back

To where I have come from

I see only wondrous

Beauty and light and

Know that I am home.

Hello peeps.. a good morning to you on this Tuesday early morning!

I wanted to post a few pics from my yard. I have been busy taking pictures and trying to download them. I only was able to do about three last night before I had to go to bed at 9:00.. I have early hours for the next three weeks at work because of my summer half days and making up time for my doctor visits too for the injections. So this bear has to crawl outta bed at 4:00 every morning now for the next three weeks! UGHHHHH! So early to bed... early to rise... makes a polar bear grumpy and wise... okay so it isnt really wise... it's tired but that didnt rhyme....sue me... see I told ya I was grumpy!

So anyway....let's get back to the pictures... here are some of my flowers and garden thingys and I will post more tonight hopefully.



This is my Bee Balm plant. I love the showy red flowers and the hummingbirds love them too!



This is one of my Asian Lilies from my Oriental garden. I will post alot more colors later. This one is one of my favorites.



This is Lovie's Diamond garden bed she created in our front yard. I bought her the puppy friend to put in it... He guards the yard for us!

Well I hope you enjoyed the little sampling of photos... I will post more. Flowers and all the pretty colors are what I like best about summer! Right now we have naked ladies that just came in our yard so I will definately have to get photos of them for you! They are standing tall and proud!

Have a good Tuesday and I will try to not be grumpy today...

Love yas!

Good morning peepers

Hope you all had a great weekend and it has cooled down a bit for you... I know the temperatures across the whole US have been hot and muggy everywhere! Damn global warming! We are actually having a cold front of 88 degrees here in my fair piece of the world. Actually it wasn't too bad yesterday. A little humid but the air outside last night had a slight breeze to it as I sat under the stars around the fire with Lovie. I drank two beers last night and because of the meds I am on it doesn't take much to relax me into la la land. That plus I bought a new CD called Shaman's Vison Journey by David and Steve Gordon which is soothing native drums and flutes and crystal bowls thrown in for a complete relaxing odyssey of musical delight for my little ears. Sitting around the fire, watching the flames and the slow red burn of the wood combines with the wood smell and the music accompanied by the croaking frogs and crickets and katydids was a wonderful combination to lull me right into deep relaxation. As I said the two Rolling Rock beers I had just finished the job off. I was in bed by 11:30 sleeping deeply all the comfort of my warm comfortable bed.

It has been a great weekend. Lovie and I decided earlier in the week that we would have a playful relaxing weekend instead of working ourselves to death like we do most weekends. Well I am not able to do as much because of my knees but Lovie.... she could go for 12 straight hours without stopping until she falls over from exhaustion.... you definately would not know that the woman is her age (67) because I think she has swallowed the ever-ready bunny who keeps going and going and going.....she just does not stop! Anyway back to where I was heading with my little commentary...

We decided to play this weekend. so Friday night after she got off of work we went out to eat- Cracker Barrel- one of my fav places for a good satisfying meal...must be the country girl in me...I had the Friday night Fish fry special! Then we headed to the movies which we dont do all that often. We saw Pirates of the Carribean which was great except Lovie fell asleep three times and I had to nudge her before she started groaning...LOL! (Give her a full belly and a seat to sit in for a few minutes and she's out like a light!) I always kid her and tell her a fly is gonna land in her mouth if she don't keep it closed when she drifts off like that.. and I have on occassion messed with her tickling her face with a feather or I've messed around with her hair a bit so it feels like somethings crawling around ....yes she still loves me even if I am ornery. I have also been known to hide her teeth when she takes em out and her glasses... then I watch her walk around wondering where the Hell she put em while I feign innocence... LOLOLOLOL- Yes people... I do have a wicked sense of humor but it cracks us both up and keeps us lively.

Anyway so we enjoyed the movie and then yesterday we worked out in the yard for just a couple hours...yeah I know I said no work but we had to do something with the garden. We were tidying up the garden which needed it desperately, and then we went off to lunch at Paneras for sandwich and soup and then the bookstore. We love going to the bookstore and relaxing and looking at everything we want while making a wish list and getting and enjoying a Caramel Mocha Latte coffee. That's where I bought the new CD and a new recipe book too. So then last night after we got home we made a fire in the firepit and relaxed. Great great weekend so far, and today I am playing on the computer here for a bit this morning and then I will go to Mama Bear's later today for my sister's birthday dinner. This is my defination of a perfect relaxing weekend.

The next three weeks I will be getting my injections in my knees and working 10 hour days at work to make up for the time I have to take off on Thursdays to go to the docs office, but I will have 1/2 day Fridays off and hopefully the week will go fast.

I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing and I still have a question of the day...you didn't think you'd get off that easy did you?

Ready?

If you could date a celebrity, (assuming you were not hooked up or married already...pretend and work with me here, okay?) who would it be and what would the perfect date look like? Where would you go and what would you do, etc?

Okay, well that's about it for me peeps!

Love yas!

Oh PS- btw in case you are interested... I am working on a delicious new story for you... I haven't done one in a while and am feeling the creative juices flowing so to speak... it is a delectable tantilizing one..... have I peaked your interest yet? I am wicked aren't I?

Hello bloggerville!

I have not been able to get on here much but I know today is Friday and wanted to post five questions to you for Friday Fives....

1. Would you eat a bug for money? How much money? Would it matter if it was alive or dead?

2. If you could commit a crime and know that there would be no repercussions and nobody would ever find out it was you, would you do it and what would you do?

3. If you were invisible for one day, what would you do?

4. If a stranger offered you $10,000 for a deep passionate kiss from you, would you do it?

5. Have you ever had a one night stand?

Interesting questions, huh? I will post my answers in the comment section.

Have a great Friday and I will catch up with you soon.

Bear hugs!
PolarB ;)
