Good Day (21)

One thing is for sure..this weekend sure went flying by time-wise. It's been 10 days and I'm finally feelign like I'm pullingout of things an bit. I watched an old movie...."Close counter of the Third Kind" with Richard Drufus...where the space ships go over Devil's Tower in Wyoming. Last time I heard anyting about the place was with an Shaman and Doctor of Pyshcology in Canada with an PHD....he went there to do the Native American "Sun Dance" ritual...which can be life threatening unless you prepare for it in advance....and they can not talk about any visions they recieve afterwards either but only amoung  themselves.This is where they have pieces of wood put into their chest, tied on with sinew and they dance hooked on to an like May Pole until they can tear away from it in thier flesh.  It is to honor the suffering by God from the "acts" of mankind and to ask for "God's" forgiveness an mercy. Only an few handful of people are ever chosen to do this and it is so harsh an ritual it usually takes weeks to recover from it healthwise. The people must also be noted of good character and morally incorupt...and are ussually Shamans many times if not "chief's" of an tribe. The ritual is never forced upon anyone but it is an honor to do it...one of those lifetime feats of endurance.. and prayer.We use to watch someone also micro-wave pulse that area also...most likley our military. After this ordeal...theoldman found an Hopi girfirend...he got an bunch of his freinds together and for the first time ever..he with the other's saw his girlfreind's family had the modern conviences most of the world already has with refrigeration and solar power(hot water) and an TV set. They had no electricity pr running water or outside power...ever until he came along. they were most likely some of the one Jane Fonda was taking food to here some years back also. He told us considerably how they lived with out these things though. Just to sharpen our awareness of survival.

Anyway..tomarrow starts another week...make it an good one!

I hope I am never chosen for that ritual Shirley!

Hi everyone, wishing you all a fantastic day

Ron I hope that Anna is improving a little everyday and that you are bearing up well!  Also that her Dad is recovering.

Has anyone heard from Peter Evans? - I do hope that his health is also improving.

Hi CathyML and all...

Anna is still making progress, her Dad is not so lucky just yet, although there are small signs of change. We are waiting on the opinions of the medical staff.

Hi Rick, great to see you. 

Ron - glad to hear Anna is slowly recovering and so sorry to hear that her father is not doing so well, will continue to keep them in my thoughts. 

My daughter in-law has surgery this afternoon for an cyst on her overy...then has the next five days off...her sister moved two doors away from her and will be helping an bit with the kids also today. My son will be with his wife. These medical problems are not easy to deal with along with the economy. My son has already filed an Bankruptcy from them previously.

I think we need "wine" in bottles shaped like Turkey's...yes, I do...the grocery store sales came out today...two pages on food sales,,,four pages on wine sales....we have one week left before "turkey day" and by golly...if the grocery sales don't get better I may just up and forget it...the day that is...and not from the wine bottle either.  go back to my TV Dinner! Limit my turkey pie to looking at an picture of one of them ...yes sireee...we better start infesting the countryside with wild Turkeys me thinks. Bottles that look like Turkeys?...lol.

After 14 days my swollen foot went down from having "Gout" and up and left. I woke up to the bone not sticking out like the Rock of Gilbaltater...and pain. What changed things..I have no idea. Was it  the daughter in-law financing "Providence Hospital"?...as I do beleive they are the "Anit-christ" you know...and those that back them right now. I know...they just llok to inncoently "sweet" for such an thing...and almost "God like" service they provide....but not really when it gets right down to it. It goes for the medical society as an whole right now over here...I know..hush up an have an drink....play like everything is "OK"..when its not.

I finsihed off an bit more of my limited Christmas Shopping yesterday and got sissy an pair of socks up to her knee caps and fuzzy slippers to go with an nightgown...that match. Hate to tell you this but the pain of the gout and the finances.. I'm not feeling to very Christmas this year. Don't know if I'll pull out of it or not. I'm wanting to go into one of my moods of "Contemplation" with the Lord right now on life and where it's going for us all...and seek his wisdom...over that of mankind....not death either...but how to bring about an renewed world for the living. Putting in more love, caring, and sharing and not so much sex, abuse greed, and poverty. What can one little person in this great big world do. Beside by Janueary I may be taking up donations to get my hubby able to afford his deductible on his Medicare to be able to retire in years ahead...we just got handed the $1200 billing...devided up in 3 month intervals. I don't know if that includes me in the years ahead..but I have an funny feelingit doesn't maybe.  Medical is rediculous these days...no wonder those with money leave the states for health care these days. I go for now..I need to finish sewing up some of those PJ's for the boys. I sent off half the post cards yesterday and hope to get the rest off here soon.
