up down all around

Attack the problem. 

Not the person. 

Inflammation and irritation 

Are the problems. 

Simple. Not easy. 

Left the app running when I drove. 

I didn’t put in 16,320 steps that day. 

LOL

I’m very glad to get this right, though. 

And this. 

Look at the high numbers. 

That’s a monthly average 

From when I was sick. 

They have apps for healthy people. 

They need one for people 

To track progress toward wellness. 

Before Atkins, I had A-Fib 

All. The. Time. 

I often had a meal out on Friday. 

I called Fridays “Date Night”

To take back my integrity 

From where I thought I had lost it. 

Well. 

I dropped my beloved hamburger 

On the floorboard. Yuck. 

Stopped and got another but 

Gave it to a homeless gentleman. 

I figured it was meant to be. 

I didn’t lose my integrity. 

Turns out, I had only misplaced it. 

So I found myself again. 

And it wasn’t on the floorboard 

Of my car, upside down, 

Covered with ketchup 

And no buns.  😄

The Great SubDivision

Of Irving Texas. 

Rain is coming. 

See those whisps? 

They go up like mare’s tails. 

They are cirrus clouds. 

They form when the wind changes

Because the temp rises suddenly. 

Usually means rain in the next 48 hours. 

These aren’t fully formed - yet. 

In a perfect world, they would 

 look more like this. From Wikipedia. 

They look like horse tails. 

Hence the name. 

So taking care of medically fragile kids 

Is hard. There is no precedent for this work. 

Many of them have behavioral problems. 

In their mind, they’re just trying 

To figure out why they can’t go play

Or why they’re sick. 

I regained my empathy. 

I think The correlation  

Between what I eat

And how I feel

Is undeniable. 

What junk food is worth

Peace of body and peace of mind?
