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. Eleven years ago 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 " not quite but with the help of a walking stick and as long as I do not stand or sit in one position for too long, I am still standing! Update 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 50yrs plus this year . Pain and boredom are my enemies now, I have to find 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 ??
I need to update this a little here. I have worked very hard over the years since my accident, I go to the gym regularly, I have a Pilates class and a core class once a week . The guys at the gym and my Pilates teacher cajoled, teased, bullied and encouraged me to abandon my walking stick! :) 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 as strongly 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.

Marvellous choice! May day will now be a feast of all things Creedence😂

Several tunes in one! The videos that he did with his kids were among the highlights of the early pandemic days.
Hi Clive he really seems a nice guy and still so talented 💜
He does, doesn’t he. Those lockdown videos were a delight and he came across as friendly and genuine.
Yes I totally agree really nice 😊
Swamp Rock! Wow. These genres have some interesting names, lol, Sis! 😂💛
They do don’t they …my word we had to work these last couple of weeks good job I love music 🎶🎶💜💜💜
Swamp Rock! Quite entertaining.
Thank you good fun 💜
It is a shame that Creedance never had a #1 record, because they had so many good songs. Thanks for joining in with your music, Willow.
It’s always fun to join in Jim. Like you I often think that some great groups never quite get the recognition they deserve 💜
Fantastic choice! I LOVE Bad Moon Rising!
It’s a great song isn’t it 💜💜
Their music was always so evocative. Thanks for sharing this one.
Aww good advice from John Fogerty! Great song too. A real favorite!
Yes indeed brilliant 💜
CCR had some memorable hits that’s for sure.
I’ve posted my choice for SLS on Jim’s blog.
I know I have seen it now 😂
So many great songs. Every time I hear one I say it’s my favorite, then say the same on the next one, too. 🙂
Lol me too 💜💜

Another single in my collection in my youth!! Ah, the memories!
Nice choice
Got to love a Fogarty brother 💜💜

This is great music, and I love the artist. I’d never heard of calling it ‘swamp rock’, but it really fits.
Yes Credence Clearwater Revival ….a great group of this genre 💜
Absolutely!!! I can still remember where I was when hearing CCR.
Happy days …when we were younger 😊😂
