A Transformative Year In The Making

2010 is the Year of the Tiger, but it is also my year to begin a long-overdue transformation.

Although I still have to get through the special cancer diet that accompanies my annual cancer screening, I have set forth on a path to wellness. My first order of business is to lose weight.

I started this plan of mine on 1/12/10 and have so far lost an astonishing 13 1/2 pounds! Yay me! I plan to incorporate more meditation too. Another part of my plan is to relearn the art of happiness. I think it involves sandy beaches and maybe a margarita or two, lol.

Swimming in The Shallows

These past few weeks I feel as though I’ve been swimming in shallow water, unable to make the transformation from fish tail to legs so I can climb onto the rocky shore. This last ‘minor’ surgery took a lot out of me. I wish the drs. would stop using the word ‘minor’ in conjunction with me. Simply because it never is. I truly should know better by now.

As I start to gain energy, I am slowly getting back to what I love––writing. The great thing about writing is it forces my brain to focus on something other than the pain. If I am lost in a world of my creation, my mind is happily occupied. An all natural drug induced state, released endorphins, aided by muses.

I’ve also been doing some reading and have to say most of what I’ve read this past month is pretty good.

What I haven’t done much of is holiday shop. Ugh. Since I can’t drive for a while and must have Bear to act as my wheelman, I am limited in when and where I can go. Mostly I go to the drs. for appointments. Anywhere else, I get to sit in the car while he goes in to do whatever we need.

Did I mention the effects of cabin fever? Oh yeah, I got a heavy dose of that right now. But since I know I have to take this slow and easy as I continue the healing process, I guess I’ll behave. Drats. lol. Being a good girl is a major stretch, I’m tellin’ ya. :P

In love, light, and laughter,
Cass

10 Things made from CAT Scan "Milk Shakes"

Today I had to go in for testing and the stuff they make you drink is thick and chalky with this artificial “berry blend” flavor.

So here is my top ten list of things I think are made from any left over “berry blend milkshakes”

1. spray paint
2. pastel chalk
3. liquid clay slip
4. blueberry scented baby powder
5. wet carpet cleaner
6. schoolboard chalk
7. overly active yogurt
8. 3 month old blueberry pancake batter
9. papier mache paste
10. liquid concrete

Figured I better let ya'll know...

As some of you know, I have been undergoing certain health issues lately, and while I am optimistic that all will be fine, I will have to undergo surgery this next week. The kind of major surgery I am having requires me to be admitted to the hospital and once released, full rest and recuperation is a must.

Because of this, I will likely not be online for some time. If anyone wants to contact me, that information is on my contact page on my website.

If possible, I’ll try to have someone check my email for me so I don’t miss anything urgent or time sensitive.

The one good thing about this enforced period of rest is that I might actually catch up on my reading and whittle down that huge TBR pile I have. LOL

I want to thank everyone who has sent e-cards and offered prayers and well wishes. They are much appreciated.
