Hi everyone! I know this isn't a typical visiting experience at the moment, but I assure you I am doing my best. When you're caring for a post-op heart patient, every single day blends into the one before. I likely wouldn't know it was Monday if I hadn't intentionally bypassed Friday and Saturday's normal routine … Continue reading My Apologies

True Happiness
"True happiness cannot be found in things that change and pass away. Pleasure and pain alternate inexorably. Happiness comes from the Self and can be found in the Self only. Find your real Self and all else will come with it." —Nisargadatta Maharaj

Aches, Pain, and Shooting Stars
It is unbearably difficult to move today. Everything hurts ten times worse than it did yesterday. 😦 The only non-painful part of my body are my toenails. That is sad, at least from where I'm sitting. Pain like this is torture and no decent human-being should be forced to live like this. I'm not stating … Continue reading Aches, Pain, and Shooting Stars
Out Of Suffering We Emerge
"Pain is like a healing emotional fever. Allow your pain to cleanse you and burn away what needs to die. A new and better you will grow from the ashes.

If You Have No Pain Within…

When You Face Difficult Times
I keep telling myself this as I battle multiple issues, including the idea of taking my life (an extremely serious issue, which is not open for discussion. I've learned during this year that very few people care, and I have no use for false friends or people who enjoy the pain of others solely because … Continue reading When You Face Difficult Times
Rest Alludes Me
All I want to do is SLEEP. For God's sake, it's Saturday night and I am BEAT. It's meant to be a 'day of rest'. But really, why should my body obey unwritten laws?! Today I completed two writing assignments, decided on a mountain of paperwork for tomorrow when I inevitably won't be able to … Continue reading Rest Alludes Me
Frazzled Saturday Mornings
After an extraordinary amount of sleep last night into this morning, I somehow managed to convince myself that today was: A) Monday (Which is just plain EVIL, even though Monday is a holiday for me.) B) Sunday (How the hell did I sleep so long?! I only took ONE Benadryl for my allergies!) C) Another … Continue reading Frazzled Saturday Mornings
Pull The Covers Up And Leave Me Alone
I'm a pretty dark person. I have a wicked sense of humor and I'll say anything goofy to make someone laugh, but when it's my life, there isn't a lot I perceive as humorous. I'm not the kind of person who laughs at someone else's pain or who enjoys hearing about someone's breakups, divorces, illnesses, … Continue reading Pull The Covers Up And Leave Me Alone
