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 know I’m no angel but need help to finish. Where angels are nothing more than whispers, wearing leather jackets to hide their wings, looking like just another angel goin south for the winter, I can fit in. LoAngel of mercy I’m trying to write, as angels write, but devils must print. So there’s the rub. Philosophy will clip an angel’s wings, so in heaven, an angel is nobody in particular, and even angels can be tempted. Please hear my plea, I overthought my destiny. I am an angel in disguise, not fearful or wise. I thought I could write a story here, but the length of the prompts is too severe. I must admit I am your angel and find myself unfit for the task. At least now you’ll see under my mask.

It may be a virus causing you to quaver

It lingers like a veiled prey on your voice

Rugged healthy men rely on written papers

Every note that’s written they read, their choice

Communication when ill with this is no favor

No given name, just a dance on your chords

Germs want to show off, wish to be on a runway

Allowing their varied bag of ills to play.

MLMM – Conscious

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Respond to this Friday Faithfuls challenge by writing about the notoriously ambiguous nature of being conscious, or if you think that conscious is defined by having all of your neurons and synapses working together in conjunction with each other, or does being conscious mean that you are aware of your environment and your own existence and thoughts, or do you feel that consciousness is a process in the brain, or is it a behavior that that is controlled by the brain, or you can go with anything else that you think would fit.

I think these days, this year and coming ones, that our conscious mind is too full. I refer to the unconscionable leader we have now, tearing up the constitution and changing laws that were set by our founding fathers. Freedoms have been axed, while military and unqualified, dressed up masked men are running riot all over the states. Where is the consciousness here? Dangerous changes effecting the poor, elderly sick and disabled are frightening. As an ordinary citizen my conscious mind speaks here. I won’t be ruled by unconscious minds.
