Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

we do need to heed the warnings, Willow, . and your words underline the fact beautifully… This Earth of ours needs protecting from man and his size ten boots.. and greedy thoughts of what he can use instead of how he can nurture… xPenx
And I thank you for the post, it is my pleasure to share it. I am amazed that so much that is around us is never seen by some many folks. This earth is our home shared with all other living things, that is what is important, I’m grateful for the few that realize it and grateful that you have given it the beautiful words that express it. Thanks Jon
Isn’t it strange how so many people just take take and never think to replenish or replace. I have written lots of poems on the subject. I just hope and pray that we all come to our senses before it is too late
🙂 You’re welcome. It seemed appropriate for restarting an old forgotten blog. Now I just have to get around to renaming it and writing new material for it. You’re post was the perfect fit and inspiration for it.

Yes sadly it is all take take take and no thought of replenishment or renewal!
Hurting the land can only hurt ourselves. We are part of the larger whole, no matter how much we try to deny it.
Yes we only have one home in this entire galaxy we should respect it at the very least!
