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

I’m borrowing from Claytoonz post today: “Trumps are like, “People who pay late taxes should go to prison…also, you can’t see our taxes.””http://claytoonz.com/2023/06/21/sniffy-jr/

dVerse Poets
Choose three things that make you happy. Or, if there’s somebody else around, ask them for three things that make them happy, and write them a poem as a gift – giving to others makes us happy! Write a poem, weaving in those three things. You can tell us what they are, or leave us to guess, that’s up to you.

It’s an easy start
Grandkids stir my heart
No need to make up the rest
Trying to look and feel my best
Eating and drinking to be healthy
Pay bills on time because I’m not wealthy
Today I realize how my luck has kicked in
Appreciating how I seem born to win.

- Write a haibun that alludes to liberation.
- Post it on your personal site/blog.

As a white person I have experienced no prejudice in my privileged lifetime. Living in Texas I found out how much discrimination indirectly permeated my life. I was a transported northerner and spoke with an accent they pretended not to understand and of course being a woman, put me in a corner in the sixties and seventies. There is liberation for white straight men—for anyone else in these areas, freedom is quantified in mostly inappropriate ways. These ways can be subtle or unlawful.

That’s right it’s International Box Day, a cat’s favorite day of the year!

Over production of plastic goods
Cardboard and plastic, what happened to “if we should”
A box that serves as the ultimate choice
Conquering the pro environment voice
Attest to the benefit of recycled ware
Surrounded now by commercial fare
Choose curiosity and seek alternatives
Activate your inner superlatives
Put yourself into the fold
Join others for whom plastic use is too old
Refuse to cater to manufacturers’ false telling use
Stop the environmental abuse.

Good Morning, not
“Do we have to go through this ordeal every morning? In order for you to thrive you must eat breakfast so your mind won’t just be adrift when you’re trying to learn! Now stop acting like a petulant spoilt brat and eat your eggs and toast!”
“Pet what? You won’t let me have any pets!”
