Typically summer, since I was a little girl, had to include sun and swimming. This was my plan for this summer. I was to join the pool and do lap swimming at sunrise or sunset. But there was a different plan for me held by the universe. On June 17th I woke up really early and full of energy just a bit after sunrise. I washed the dishes and then headed to the basement to wash some clothes so my son was ready for camp. Well, I missed a step and boy did that cost me. I ended up dislocating my ankle, breaking it in two places and tearing a major ligament. I had to have surgery a week and a half later. This summer has been a mind game. Trying to stay whole and sound while healing. I say a mind game because I have never had to be so still and within myself until this summer, as I had to keep weight off my right foot for weeks and into months. . .sitting down, reading, painting and writing. I can't believe its already August. It's been a while since I've blogged and it feels good to be back. This image I am posting is a tiny ATC and it is called "Lady with Seahorses." I use to raise seahorses and they remind me of magic of the sea, which I am longing to visit as a part of my healing process.
When I first became a blogger it was difficult to know if I had readers and visitors coming to my blog. I’d post and be met by the sounds of crickets. Then, I branched out into the world of the blogosphere, a world I didn't know really existed. From my ventures, I met a lot of interesting bloggers. I've started following and commenting on numerous blogs, for you see, prior to my outings, I too was out among the crickets. Lurking about but seldom saying anything. A fellow blogger I've met through my journeys around the blogosphere is Melissa Maygrove . She had the brilliant idea to have a Follow Fest , where we share about who we are, what we do and most importantly, how you can connect with us further. It is my intention through joining Follow Fest, that I’ll connect with many more readers and people interested enough in what I do to want to learn more by following. So, here goes my entry for the fest. Name: Stephanie Rose Bird Fiction or
Love the ATC as I love seahorses and mermaids ~ sending you lots of healing hugs ~ be well soon ~ ( A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeleteYes, aren't seahorses and mermaids just the best? Thanks for the healing hugs! I need them.
