I love you.... to the bone

I love you... a million times over the day, we say those three little words, we say it SO much. you'd think they would lose their value--like 'wait till your father gets home' ! But they don't, they sink in deeper each time we hear them, they absorb the chatter of the every day and dissolve the external noises we hear throughout the day,  every thought is gone, they rest on the surface & wrap us in the warmth yet they sink to the deepest part of our heat and soul and make us feel needed, cared for and loved. every single cell of mine loved by every single cell of yours  and every single cell of yours loved by every single cell of mine. I love you a million times a million.  

Living with chronic pain

If you live with Chronic pain, you learn how to lie... a lot! People ask how you are doing, you answer 'fine' 'no problems' etc. and you learn how to make people believe that answer. You know by their response they don't really want to hear that you hurt... or that they think you are just 'playing it up' and begging for attention. Some even think you're a 'hypochondriac'.  So you lie.
Sometimes you try to believe that answer yourself. But YOU KNOW, you know it's a lie. Sometimes, those closest to you know, they can see through the glaze in your eyes, and they just know. Most of the time, they learn not to ask, just to try to make your day little easier.
SO if you know someone living in chronic pain... sometimes it's better NOT to ask, you probably won't get a straight answer! Just try to make their day easier... a little bit better... by not making them lie to you. Try saying something positive, like 'you look great today, you must be doing something right!' or... 'those new meds must be helping.... you seem a little lighter on your feet today'. Something to boost their ego, if this IS a bad day.... this MIGHT be the only positive thing their brain hears today!  I live in chronic pain.
Today, is better than yesterday... AND THAT is NOT a lie!

Three dozen eggs

New Years eve...2018... i didn't know her but she had posted she was bringing several dozen fresh eggs to the party at the V...... if anyone wanted any, let her know... I was looking for someone to get fresh eggs from so I said YES! We plan on coming in early...I’d like 3 dozen... but the weather was nasty..we didn’t go. Not knowing who she was... I tried to Msg her and let her know our plans had changed ... finally I got hold of her a couple days later and met her in town and collected my eggs. When we met, somehow, we instantly clicked...I just knew she was 'good people' and she must have felt the same about me. We msged a few times and when the weather was nicer, got together and got to know each other a bit better...then she introduced me to her friend...and I, in turn, introduced that friend to one of my friends... we all just sort of complemented each other’s personalities,  and that’s where it all started! Eventually, they all got to meet several other of our friends...but the 4 of us...we’re  all good together! We can talk about everything or we can talk about nothing...there are times it feels like we've known each other forever, then there are other times we hear a story we never heard and learn a whole new side of that person!
