JOURNALING in Postcards 4

Outside on the top deck looking down the length of the Convention Center.

I picked up a book on Journaling at work yesterday. It made me aware that I don’t really keep a journal any more. Perhaps I just offer blurbs of the day. Lately just a photo. As I cleaned and tidied up for the housecleaner, I found this small bit. Its real journaling of the tell all variety, but, believe it or not, it leaves me with a smile.

First Day Of Summer

Tooth out,
Hearing aids in.
Knee a doubtful thing
and the right shoulder
tells all its aches and pains
leaving me
without joy for a moment.

Hiatal hernia,
Gastritis,
muscular skeletal damage,
then add
chronic Pancreatitis
combined with
a pinched nerve,
collapsing
crumbling spine,
and all those
other
old folk things
plus a new bridge.

Just think of all the fun I had
working to make
these things
Mine.

• Myself: New leg compressor that seems to stay up. Thank you G for finding it.


• Reading: The new Silva.


• Gratitude’s: That I was able to laugh at that ditty.
