I’m not doing a photojournal anymore, but I do still enjoy taking photos.  I’ve done several walks around the house to enjoy the blooming flowers and growing plants.  I thought I would share a few of the things that have made me smile the past few weeks.  Ironically, they are all alive, I love seeing the new life living things bring.  It reminds me that even when there are the times in life when things appear dark and even dead, life comes back again in the summer.  Likewise, when I’m feeling down, I can be encouraged by thinking about the fact that life can (andRead More →

Today is the last day of April, and I must admit, I’ve enjoyed taking pictures to share a little bit of my life.  I discovered it is an easy way to show the fun things in my life, and to show that my life isn’t all about pain.  The photojournal allowed me to share the “day-to-day” life of living in spite of chronic pain.  And here are the last few photos, for now at least! April 27: On the way home from a doctor’s appointment today, I stopped at a greenhouse which had this really neat variegated geranium.  I decided he needed to be added to my collection, andRead More →

April 21: Maigee got an exciting present in the mail from her friends Kellyn (human) and Charlie (GSD mix who is also a Service Dog).  It was a box full of home made treats, she loved them and even snuck a few more out of the box when I wasn’t looking.   April 22: My little pea plant is getting bigger!  It even has some tiny little curlicues which is what I like best about the pea plant.  In other news I found a picture on a recipe web site which made me consider eating peas again.  Unfortunately, I know I’ll only be disappointed once again,Read More →

April 6: After my mom bought a pie crust, disappointing my newly found skills at pie crust making, I decided to make a crust and turn it into ickles.  Ickles are a pie crust rolled into a rectangle, covered with a layer of brown sugar and cinnamon, rolled up, and baked. April 7: After experiencing digestive issues over the past few months, my GI decided to schedule me for a EGD (upper GI scope).  I asked for a copy of my images to share, the results showed that I have a hiatal hernia which is causing the reflux.  This is actually good news because itRead More →

Days of Enjoyment – April 1-4

I’m going to start photo-journaling as a challenge from How to Cope with Pain to do something enjoyable every day, but also as a way to share some of the everyday life with chronic pain.  The times when life is normal instead of just the times when it isn’t. Pictures from the past few days… April 1: Maigee wearing the “cone of shame” after I gave her monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventative.  She is known to lick the flea/tick treatment, so has to wear a cone while it dries.  April 2: Found some fresh onions in the garden today while weeding and decided to make a childhood favoriteRead More →
