summer days winding down
I'll not miss your muggy days
leaf peepers prepare
-
again feeling down
why can't I remember to
look on the bright side?
-
sometimes days are hard
tomorrow will be better
you are not alone

children wild from summer fun
cannot be contained

OMG! Enjoy!
Save some rhubarb pie for me!
Wish I could be there.

(just buried bits of fur from my dear dog in some of her favorite places; lost her just before Christmas, still missing her)
heartache and tears, but
joyful memories shine through:
"Hey Mom, let's go play!"
-
Tessu, I'm so sorry about your dog. My beloved dog Max died early January (when I was halfway through chemo) ... I still have to swallow back tears when I think of him, and try to reach for the happy memories instead. Your haiku is lovely.
-
Tessu and Abracad...great reminders to reach through for joyful memories. Thanks.
-
abracadabra and magiclight thank you. And abra, so very sorry you lost Max at the worst time (((hugs)))
My dog was almost twelve when I started chemo, and already had bad back problems and mild heart failure. But she got so much better the whole time I had treatment (op, chemo, herceptin). Then a couple weeks after my post-Herceptin check-up, when my doc gave a clean slate, she went downhill very fast and we had to put her to sleep
My younger son's comment helps a little, sometimes: that my dear dog rallyed to be able to be by my side when I most needed her, but then when the worst was over, she was like"Hey Mom, you've got this. You don't really need me anymore. I'm so very old now and so very tired and sore, may I please go to Heaven now?" Our vet came to our house and put her to sleep in my arms --- then we both cried our eyes out. I still miss her very much, and probably always will.
-
tessu...taking care of each other is the human/dog bond. You each lived up to the commitment that bond requires even though it was painful at times. One of my favorite quotes Is from Washington Irving " There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love."
-
tessu and magiclight ... your comments are so moving. I'm in tears but also smiling! There is always comfort to be found.

Happy Labor Day
may it be a day of rest
Tuesday coming soon
-
new job, all is new
places, faces, rules to learn
I'm a child again
-
A new start is bliss
The child is always within
Clapping gleefully
-
oh what fun it is
to live vicariously
bc sisters rock
-
It's very late here.
Now this thread must move along.
Where is the sun now?
-
first blush of orange
brightening the maple leaves
autumn is coming
-
chilly fall morning,
valiant sun, blue sky, dry leaves,
summer's kiss goodbye
-
log in yet again
I see a room opened up
Grand canyon beckons
-
Nice to go away,
Then we're happy to come home.
Travel's yin and yang.
---------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy your trip!

Ive been sick and well
Entirely too much sick
But feeling better
~~~~~~~~~~
Fall color begins
Tops of trees changing slowly
Waiting to explode
-
like seasons changing
our bodies grow sick and well
bloom again moonflow......
-
taxol nails
Pepto bismol cramps
Expander pains, implant gains,
This body that marches on, I survey
Give God thanks for every breath
-
I am depleted
ideas escape my mind
read between lines
-
lovely Tara. I know that feeling! LOL
Mot Haiku, but:
Autumn Falls
The vista glows with tones
of orange and red.
The eyes take it in,
until the soul is fed.
Preparing for the days
of little but black and white.
Trying to absorb
every color within sight.
For when those days of darkness,
begin to heavy weigh,
Go deep within, without a doubt,
that's where the color stays!
-
Needles needles ick
Sharp pointy things that help you
Why do I resist
~~~~~~~~~~~
Paper pens and caps
Are scattered on the table
The numbers dont lie
-
Winter's upon us
I saw snow flurries today
I'm just not ready
-
Wishing for some snow.
Naked November is not
the cheeriest month
