MEANDERINGS of Margie

The man pictured above is IN control.....always. So, if he is, then duh.....we are NOT! Recent gallbladder surgery, has once again, brought a reality check into place. We make assumptions, take "for granted", basic everyday abilities. Maybe 'reminders' are HIS way of letting us know just how vulnerable we totally remain in our own lil "bubble" of life. After any surgery, there is a definite "disabled" time we go through. Unable to do everyday, normal procedures. Ugh, we forget that! My shortcomings have been: 1. figuring a way to simply get into and out of bed! Seems simple, right. Not. The pain that this simple act  causes is frustrating, to say the least! 2. Getting on/off clothes. Stretching to do so, it hurts! So, I opted to be in a gown & housecoat. Easier, even if not stylish. LOL   Esp. putting on socks....ouch! 3.  Normal bathroom care....ugh, even that is a puzzlement! (no details, you know what I mean!!) 4.  Service by other...

I have loved this painting, from the first time I ever really "noticed" it. In my fantasy....those 2 kids were Chellsey & Brandon coming down the hill! I don't know why. My beautiful Chellsey, and handsome Brandon both have darker hair. It just "hit" me in some unexplained fashion. I purchased a poster-sized copy of this. It remained on my porch for years. It got "lost" to another change in mood, I guess. Wonder if we ever understand why a certain piece of art affects us......Can't remember if my love of Sunflowers began before, or after this caught my attention. Tonight.....while browsing on Pinterest, I found this picture: This is the painter, Monet. Quite an interesting fella! Now I have a visual of the "designer" of this affection. Above is a picture taken @ Gibbs Gardens. This is their interpretation of the MONET bridge. Neat-0. There are other of Monet's paintings I like....but the grandkids & the sunflowers...

There are many followers of Horoscopes. I've peeked @ a few throughout my lifetime. Sometimes....it does "hit" on a particular trait or touch some slight reality of me. Found these on Pinterest (where else does one go to "browse"!!). There seems to be quite a bit of ME in these generalities. It's just for FUN, and I love that!!
