I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl

dVerse Poetics – Bottle

Originally housing a liquid sweet

Added to my coffee a sugary treat

All hail the delight of espresso syrup

Ones I like aren’t made in Europe

Then being a saver of every clear flaske

I wash and refill with water, my task

To recap and store in the cold

When used for drinking I am told

“It looks like vodka in that bottle”

Then we all settle in for a chortle.

Royal blue or emerald green

Water’s perfect profile rarely seen

Or the solution of keeping clear and clean

Childhood remembers streams pristine

New techniques covering control of the scene

Authors of science in bricked modern times

Research together in present climes

Say the pure liquid is hard to find.

“It’s uncanny!” Sheila exclaimed, purely upbeat as she followed the queue along the cusp of the mountain. “We as humans proceed through life, marching along as a slice of lemmings, obsolete as a single entity, but marvelous when united.

Here are this week’s questions:
1. Have you ever been fishing? (not just for the guys as I have!). I actually was made to as a child, hate it.

2. Do you prefer to watch football, rugby, tennis or hockey on TV? Rugby or baseball.

3. Have you ever ice skated? Skated a lot as a kid in VT, not much as an adult.

4. Did you enjoy sports at school? Absolutely not 😂

Gratitude: I am grateful to have a nice home, loving family and good health.
