Numerical Notes

Notes that run
upon the scale
are used by some
to understand
the level of pain
that we express
numerical notes
that diagnose
so if in birth
the number ten
is strong enough
to pass us out
this muscle pain
that now resides
with its
spasmodic code
must be merely
eight
reminding me
of getting old
berating me of my
willfulness
sending messages
in code
of lost youthfulness
where body recognized
no limits
and renewable energy
was stored deep inside
today my reality
is masked behind
a pill
that offers me
ability
to muddle through
but each
necessity
some forced rest
and humble pie
should have me soon
back in stride
my motto for 2008
is practice
how to delegate!

I Hope you feel better soon!

Suddenly I have aches and pains where they never resided before. OC told me I was getting old -- and suddenly he experienced a new pain ....

Hi Pauline! I had been away in Hainan Island, China for about 10 days.

Interesting scores on getting old?!

Have a good day.

katie,still laughing at my foolish pride. Found something at a health store for pain hope you never need it but if you should it works ARNICARE GEL a homeopathic medicine by Boiron. It is a life saver!

quilldance, misery loves company and I am so glad OC is with us ;)

nessa. we don't plan these events they just sneak up on us. I'll be repeating my mistakes soon enough. Hugs!

ghost particle,I do believe that statement that there is a reason for everything. Thank you for you very kind remarks i felt the hug :)

twilite, thrilled that you were on a journey instead of storing away the holiday. Please tell of your adventure.
