Little glitch(es).......

Today I went to the Hand Specialist.........still no verdict.......hand back in splint with orders not to "lift anything"........right.   CT scan ordered for Friday........Verdict on Tuesday next.........

And..........when I called my ACE packing assistant........she informed me that she too, is.......

Injured.

She hurt herself while working out and is in so much pain she could not think.........in addition to that....last night when she drew a hot bath for her pain........her well pump gave out............

So what to do?  What to do?............

I appreciate all well wishes and prayers.....and healing energy sent our way.........

Envision my right hand and wrist happy, healthy, flexible and strong..............and my assistant Pam healed and healthy.........and my pack up 'easy peasy'.................

Thank you all in advance!

It's hard to stab at the keyboard with one finger.....

........this may be my last post for awhile....

Back to boxes..........

Today is the first serious day of packing.......I hired help for the day.  We started in my basement......and began to separate........

Take, Store, Salvation Army.....oh and a little pile for my son and his family...........and I gave them a call just in case they had time to come gather it........and they did........which made the pile for Salvation Army smaller..........and also the storage pile smaller.......and my townhouse lighter of furniture.......

I followed up with a trip to my storage unit.......and now will fill my car with things to take to the studio....and things to take to Salvation Army.........and then go to my meditation group gathering.........

and it will be the end of day one.

Good news.......on Saturday, after praying and calling in my healing friends......a doctor called, mind you this was late on Saturday evening.......... he said the radiologist read my fims and found NO FRACTURE.......NO fracture.........so I ripped off my splint........so happy........

But I'll see the specialist tomorrow just for good measure......as my wrist and hand are still tender and in a brace.......

So yeah.......onward and upward.........I am careful to monitor how I'm doing with this moving thing......because in the past few days I'm in a state of disbelief at what I have started........sorry.....wish I had time for pics........

Accident Update......

OOOps..................today I thought it would be good measure to have my hand x-rayed..........at the advice of Martha, a nurse (and extremely talented artist), who wittnessed my pirouette accross the room the other day.............

Turns out Dr. Collins thinks I might have done something to a small bone deep in my hand called the scaphoid.........

I have an appointment with a hand specialist on Tuesday....and my packing help arrives on Monday.

Instead of a brace.......My forearm is now in a splint........that can not be removed until the doctor sees it.

Never a dull moment.

OH, and I figured out why I was so confused while pulling (what I thought was) Sterling Silver wire.  It was NOT Sterling..........it was Nickel Silver..........Much harder wire.........I had not marked it as such and and assumed it was Sterling..........because it was in the same place I keep all the wire and I forgot I put it there..........and I thought to mark it.......and didn't..........

Yet another lesson in mindfulness....

The Good News?.........it seems the townhouse I'm renting has a taker..........and I won't need to be available to show it any more!

This move is really going to happen, isn't it?  I don't think it will hit me until I close the door on my storage unit.

Offerings and Ceremony................

This morning I awoke to the making of Ceremony.............



It is the full moon............

A Day filled with Offerings in this part of the World....

In front of every entrance...........on every corner..........at the base of every alter............they appeared.........




Nearing the end of the day, the smell of incense prevailed.................

More than once I stumbled on a Beautiful Woman in her Secret Garden praying........as I quickly extracted myself........wishing it was ME.........as her............Consumed with Spirit...........that way.............

As I write this evening........with the Ceremony deeply underway........families still wave at me as they pass..........no one is late for this one................

I hope I can take this day with me and begin to incorporate this depth of Beauty and Offering into my life........

Happy Full Moon!
