Family is the thriving tree
Countless branches that can be seen
Ancestors of royal blood
Settlers surviving floods
Salem witches of ill repute
History we dare not refute
Yes, our tree has them all
I wonder how saplings will recall
Our current situation, rise or fall
Historical facts written down
Where many different seeds were sown.

From grassy meadow
A dreamscape vista ahead
Imagination
Soaring into the distance
My mind conceives a story

Did you hear that an eighty year old woman was arrested yesterday? She was caught in a “walk by grabbing” at ChikFilA, putting those tiny disinfectant wipe packets in her purse.

JK – this is how my mind works.

Good day! It’s sunny and fifty degrees here in Cheyenne, Wyoming. A few new virus infections since yesterday, but if you believe Trump – say it isn’t so! – it will all be over by Easter. Oh well, as long as the corporations are bailed out. . .who cares about the rest of us?
On a more positive note, I have leftover chicken and dumplings for dinner today, still sipping coffee and snap chatted my mess (one liner Wednesday) to my grandkids asking them, here’s mine, let’s see yours. I shocked Elaine, aka the neatest woman on earth, with my messy post, but reminded her I live on my bed most of the time–chairs are only comfortable for a short time. So people, let’s see your mess!
It seems to me that March is going fast. And unlike most of you, I am used to the isolation, so how are you doing? Are your days dragging on? Stay well!🤗

We could stay together
Discussing only weather
But I wanted. . .less
Your constant love meticulous
Bordered on the ridiculous
Now we’re just a mess.
Even making soup–too thick, too thin
Just another thing I could not win.
Now we end up in this mire
Of each other we’re now tired
Throwing in the towel now just
Our marriage has bit the dust.

Some things don’t change – my usual mess:

I have spent my day smiling and mostly because of you people out there, all over the world on WP. So I have to send big hugs despite the CV and thanks to you all, you make my year!
I am not dependent on other people’s thoughts or ideas on what to do when I die. My instructions are written down and my family knows my wishes. No keeping me on machines, no funeral, no obituary, just put my body in a cardboard box and into the crematorium. I once thought I would donate organs and still would, but having had cancer twice, it’s not recommended. I think it is a wonderful idea though.
Some of you may think this sounds cold or unfeeling, but I’m not one who visits graves and talks to their loved ones’ tombstones. I did put flowers on graves on Memorial Day when I could, now it’s not possible. To me, when you’re dead, you’re dead. I don’t think of myself floating around on clouds or even perishing over and over in a fiery hell. I think life is right here, right now, and that’s all. My spirit is another story, and if there is a life “beyond” in spirit, I can live with that.😄

Sparkling out bright
Nature’s wonderment, the stars
Birthed eons ago
Still shine and glow for the earth
Look up and observe beauty.
