The Sunday Whirl
Author: rugby843
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

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!
Playing For Change
Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt
Thoughts Near Death
All dreams rejected
Faith previously respected
Leave me feeling dejected
I might have suspected
As one thing led to another collected
Brain, mind stood, and objected
Then a sneaking suspicion detected
A feeling of fear, and unprotected
Old memories visited and selected
Filtered as if dissected
No longer safely connected
Their mind with disease affected
Barriers of truth erected
Feelings of resentment projected
Only the basic form of love accepted.

Here are this week’s questions:
1. How do you like your coffee/tea? I make a latte – warm every morning at home but if I’m out to lunch I might have iced tea.
2. Are you a dunker (of biscuits/cookies)? Absolutely not
3. What is your favourite biscuit/cookie? Homemade peanut butter and I make great ones😂
4. Have you ever baked your own biscuits/cookies? All the time before I was stuck in a wheelchair. Even though my apartment says handicapped the shelves are still too high for cooking easily. It doesn’t help that I’m losing height every day.
Gratitude: I’m grateful to have my health as my second oldest sister passed away three weeks ago and my next sister is in hospice now. It has been a horrid couple of months.

Time Passes Quickly
Twelve months doesn’t sound like much, does it? Birthdays, anniversaries, vacations, holidays and appointments make it seem shorter than the 365 days it encompasses. January, freezing in a blizzard, you think this is the longest month. I wish it was over! Suddenly it is.

Fandango’s Story Starter
This week’s Story Starter teaser is: I unlocked the door as quietly as I could and slipped into the dark kitchen when my wife suddenly flicked on the lights, temporarily blinding me.
“What the dickens?” I screamed! “Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” Joe tried shoving and hiding the cookies behind the jar he had just been raiding.
“It’s okay Joe, I know the scent of chocolate chip cookies is your nemesis.” They both sat down at the table and had a midnight snack of milk and cookies.

A last minute road trip with my daughter and granddaughter to CO where we lived for years, driving straight through and visiting friends and relatives. So wonderful a break from my sad and depressing family news, reuniting and resolving some old issues. The landscape brought great memories of previous travels and areas that I hadn’t seen for eight years. Here are two take away photos – turn up for sound! This is my idea of heaven:
Above – This was from car so a bit odd😀
It was my daughter’s idea and of course as usual, she knows what I love and need most. Even though WY and CO border each other they are very different—think I got a needed green and tree fix finally👍🏻🥰
