Shake Up

Illness
casting shadows
over a persons view
making or breaking them slowly
shake up.

yes, Phyllis. you sure do get shaken up. About what you said at my poem the other day, we HAVE been through a lot and "it ain't over yet" Now I have tendonitis in my hand and even cortisone shot does not take it away. I wonder what fate has in store for me NEXT!!

This makes me a wee bit sad, as I hope all that you are going though, makes you come out the other side stronger. I hope you know you are many peoples thoughts here! :)

Do not be sad for they caught it before it got out of hand. I am on the good side of it my friend. I do realize how many people are there for me and I am so so thankful for my poetry family. It is heart lifting to be so loved. Thank you all. love phyl

I've just read your blog Phyllis and I'm so sorry that you've been ill :-( That 4th line is so poignant - I know from my husband's illness we need to fight it and it can be beaten:-) Get well soon:-) hugs Jan xx
