It seems to me in pretty much everything I read, the flashes of images, bits of propaganda from Pinterest to magazines, commercials, sound bites that do not stop – the only way to have a meaningful life is to have a Big life. I disagree. There are only so many hours in the day, and […]
A Toast
Too long ago does the train pass We forget where we have been, Who we are, who we have been, and Where we must go. My lesson to not let too much time go without writing. I have been writing, but a different kind of writing. Constructive then completely loose at other times. I will admit […]
Thank you.
Waiting for the long list of people to see me at the University of Minnesota CF clinic, Anne walks into the room, with a mission – as she always has. “How are you?” Anne says. “Good overall.” “What the hell has happened? You left 10 or so years ago with 100% lung function and now […]
The Dawn
I wrote this little didi about a week and half ago – The Dawn The Sun shuts its eyes, Gives a solemn sigh “Rest now,” the Ocean says, Settle in until the night turns over again Let me gather my friends – All the world’s Trees, you see They anchor you and me – […]
6, 5, and 2
Each day I am reminded of gratitude. Amazement. Even being thankful for all the quirky things in life. I went to my f/u CF appointment last week and I gained 6 pounds and my PFTs went up 5%. I have been working at gaining weight, but in the past it has been difficult to gain […]

Steady
I am taking a poetry class and last week’s assignment is an “I want” poem. At first I had difficulty with this because I don’t like to pull from the Universe because then you only focus on what you don’t have vs. what you have. And then two-fold, you put out into the Universe you […]
Keys
I haven’t written in a while, mostly because I was sick and I don’t write how I am doing when I truly do not know how I am doing. I developed that rotten cold that was really a flu two days after I got home from my trip. Two days in I started one oral […]
Harmony, UK
Once upon a time there was a girl and her massage treatment devices. Stop. Brake. Once upon a time there was a girl that was required to have her parent’s pound on her for several years of her life that took countless hours of her life – only to have this small wondrous, but old […]
The Will
The greatest things in life you cannot see. The will to live. The love you give. The air you breathe. The energy all around, Giving each one of us The strength to proceed. Each one is intangible to our eyes, but not our hearts. And each one pushes us believe that there is something that connects, […]
