And so it begins
The game of life
The dominos of love
Falling where they may
The timer activated
Fresh out of a box
Learning the rules
As we go along
No plan or ruse
No rhyme or reason
Just out for some fun
Moving game pieces
Taking turns
At winning and losing
Rising and falling
In endless succession
An ebb and flow of emotions
The tears the laughter
Riding a roller coaster
Of highs and lows
A detonated cosmic launch
Mingling interstellar orbs
Crisscrossing arcs of destiny
In a waltz of muses
Or divine intervention

Yesterday Richard inspired me to write this update. Thank you Richard.
To Be More
3 days of this virus, feels like 3 weeks
Every hour a battle, as minutes flit by
Extreme cycles of hot and cold, ongoing
Losing track of a neutral temperature
Headaches, nausea and chest pain
But mainly the tiredness and exhaustion
Doing minimal things can wipe you out
It feels like it's an effort to think, to breathe
Energy you may use to bring in loads of wood,
It can take that much, to write something like this
Thankfully, I only lost all my breath once
Having to sit down a while to get air back again
But doctors who call daily are still concerned,
I may need more later, so they prescribe inhaler
I am seperate some from my pets I love most
As I try to keep taking care of them in ways advised,
Wearing a mask, washing hands, some distancing
They don't understand and that breaks my heart
But, I am making it and they are making it
Every hour, I think, I survived another hour
I have had serious health issues in the past
But, this is certainly different and my body is at war
A constant cycle of juice, water, vitamins, food, tylenol
Filling my body with all I can to fight and survive this
Because, here, there is no treatment and it's up to me
It is a roller coaster, just after a lift, there is a fall again
Sometimes I feel like I'm dying when crashes happen
But, I am winning!
I won, the prize of seeing a beautiful sunrise this morning
And hearing multiple birds sing happily outside in my yard
I am winning every time this thing knocks me down and I get back up!
Driven to do more, write more, reach more, be more!
Thank you all

In addition, with only using internet from data on cell phone and losing a signal, it gets difficult getting things into soup, without having to enter it multiple times. So for now, that is in my way too. Take care everyone :)
Lifted lightly from familiarity
Sleep's gesture caresses cells
Taken to nearby bewilderment
Where stagnancy busily dwells
Liquid lambent shooting star forms fragment
Vapid vexations vanquished in fantasy's fire
Mist masked span transcends measurement
Vision's fusion surpasses language quagmire
Imprisoned waking cognition
held in category's secure structure
Dispelled impediments crash cascade
preceding sleep's redeeming tenure
Ignited sizzling spiral whimsical continuum
Themes undulate with kiss and chase thrill
Trauma's feather sinks, treasure 's stone floats
Detached components reconcile at will
Dream chariot leaps easily
Obliges unassuming passenger
uncover unique anecdote
Intriguing as a stranger
Driven chivalrously soaring splendidly, lured enticingly
Revelling in brain' s carried captivation sole function
Travelling happens spontaneously without momentum
Contented centre offers converging clock hands junction
Revelations ripple, expanding truth
Roller coaster riding outside reality
Symbol's eventual meaningful messages
rise as a halo, impartial to gravity
Reason's region, sensible staid evades taboo
Indetectibly dilating pineal stillness vibrates
Untouched pastures in sleep domain permit oblivious
From fences of accepted, dream's newborn liberates
Catapulted!
Conscious corners sent as envelope ratified
deliver obvious, wafting surreal's torment
Clumsy clambering of mind identified
hankers for hibernation's brief dormant
The Downward Spiral of Addictions
by Shirley Rebstock 4/17/2015
Ahh the sip of fantasy, passion, your Heaven
Sweet kiss of deceiving love drawing you
My warm embrace will hug you, squeeze you til death
You will laugh, yes you will laugh until you cannot stop crying
Friends will join you on this merry-go-round of glee
If that is fun, how much more the roller coaster
Calmness, slowly creeping upward then, Bam, racing downward
So fast can barely see
Some get off saying that is enough fun, others like you continue the ride
Spinning out of control like a tornado
Leaving a path of destruction of hearts and minds of those loved
Who flee in despair
Some go with you in your desire to destroy self and ease your pain
Tomorrow you say, all will be well, you will be well
For today, ahh another sip of your true love, your fantasy, your passion
Your Hell
Having loved and worked with people with addictions, I have seen wonderful talented people lose their life and happiness due to this enemy.
God created people to worship and have fellowship with Him, so everyone worships someone or something. If we forget the God who created us, we will run
after false gods or demons. Deuteronomy 32: 15-18 and Ephesians 5:18-19, “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead be filled with the Holy Spirit. “ With God all things are possible, even freedom from addictions.
PS: When I first wrote this poem and read to my grown son, his response was, " All right, all right Mom, I'll stop eating so many cheeseburgers."
I am calm and ready but anxious knowing this day will go by so fast,
A lifetime goal accomplished together so life’s getting a little shorter
So, I pray when the right moments come we recognize them and make them last a little longer
Life won’t always be perfect but we can always dress it up
You can wear the little black number and I can find a bow tie to match, sneakers and heels so they know it’s real
Feeling like the elevator just dropped, roller coaster eclipsed the hill, or my heart jumped
Hands together as I pray this day we take a breath to live and enjoy the atmosphere
Don’t hold your breath or close your eyes too long, because this is when you will miss it
Everyone is living but not many are breathing
Before you, things were uneven but I saw you and caught my breath for the first time
I felt free and balanced once again
But still nervous so we didn’t even talk the first night
However, the silence said everything I needed to hear
I hope my heart isn’t beating loud enough to hear
Do you remember that night at Whataburger?
Now look at where we are
p.s. sometimes I like to go back and listen to our silence from that night…
I struggle with not forgetting your touch
I struggle with still wanting you so much.
My mind is like a scratched CD
Making it to the point of forgetting
Then skipping back to you and me.
I struggle with not forgetting it felt so right
I struggle with wanting to hold you tight.
My life is like an active whirlpool
Circling, churning, going no where
The hole empty waiting for you to make it full.
I struggle with my thoughts always ending at you
I struggle with a fantasy of hearing you say “I love you too”.
My day is like a roller coaster ride
Hearing your voice making my spirits rise
Then, free fall back to the reality that you’re not by my side.
I struggle
I miss you.
Take life for an escalator
Go both through its ups
and downs
Ride it like on an elevator
Expect both smiles and
frowns.
Take life for a suspense
novel
you and I unaware what
the next day will hold
Meditate and muse, or
this book of life just
peruse
Pore over it to watch
life's mysteries unfold.
Take life for the open sea
But pray drown not
yourself in it
lest you lose sight of
God's shore
and thereby lose all
spiritual wit.
Take life for a candle,
let its glow illumine
others too
and in each and every of
its flicker
Try finding a hint or clue
Each soul's life unique as
mazes of one's
thumbprint
And usually for many
life's quite an uphill battle
At times sweet as
molasses, at times bitter
as mint
and life's roller coaster
shakes you like a rattle.
If you let yourself be intoxicated by life
Be prepared for the hangovers
Better taste of the goblet of life
making right choices like wine conneisseurs
Life tis like the rise and
fall of notes
Consoling to find people
in the same boats
Ah on life you can find a
zillion quotes.
Thus ponder over your
life and reflect
how good you've been
to it
and not just how it's
been treating you
Veer around the pit, and
keep your path lit
for darkness of the soul
is for you unfit.
Navigate life's seas with trust in God's plan
Without trust you'll be stuck
too long in earthly ties and clan...
"You can never cross the ocean until you have
the courage to lose sight of the shore." ~ Christopher Columbus
t’s been enough already
So one sided
I gave you all of me
Only to ride this roller coaster
Losing you at every drop
To have you fall from the heavens as I reach the top of the coaster
To start over again to only lose you at every drop
My heart shattered enough times with you
Never did you care how bad it hurt me
Never accepting your own actions
Only blaming me
Blaming me … for loving you
Wanting to have a life with you
Wanting to wake up with you everyday
To want to fall asleep with you
Just spending time together like a normal couple
Yet we weren’t normal
I love you too much
You have attachment disorders
We could never get on the same page
You wanted me but only at your convenience
We’re I truly loved you
Unconditionally
But you really didn’t want any of it… commitment, life partner
It was all talk from an alcoholic
Just talk no commitment
So sad because we almost had it all
Could of
oh summertime
in Canada
short and sweet
put on my flip flops
pretty sundress
and go for a walk
pick wildflowers
on a forest path
go for a hike
farmer's market
picnic in the park
feed the ducks
and the swans
dangle my feet
in a cool stream
collect odd rocks
go to the beach
walk barefoot
find some pretty shells
watch the sunset
take a country drive
(the scenes are nice)
chase butterflies
go to a fair
play some games
ride the ferris wheel
the roller coaster
fly on the swings
eat a hotdog
and some candy floss
take a boat ride
meant for tourists
sip lemonaide
maybe a drive in
(with my honey)
or maybe-
snuggle on the porch
listen to crickets
singing to the moon

Our three children came together recently and our spirits couldn’t be higher
because our children now adults don’t get together as much as we desire.
It reminded us how lucky we are because from the time they were little ones
We’ve always been proud to say, “This is our daughter and these are our two sons.”
We remember how our first wish for them was to live a long and happy life
where they’d be safe and healthy…and relatively free from strife.
Yet somewhere in the back of our minds…in a place no-one else could see
we dreamt of the life they’d be leading…of the people they would be.
We had a vision for their life…that remained in our hearts…unstated
until our vision was replaced by the vision they created.
We gladly ceded our dreams to theirs…and their individual points of view
because for as long as there have been parents and children…
that is exactly what we do.
And we feel good knowing they’ve been healthy and happy
and lucky to have been by their side…
while they have made their way through life on their own roller coaster rides.
When it comes to parenting Harry Truman had a unique way to view it…
He said the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want
and then advise them all to do it.
That has worked for us…following Harry’s simple rule of Thumb
from the time our three children as children
to the adults they have become…
Because…as we did before they were adults
when the were little ones…
we are still just as proud to exclaim today:
This is our daughter and these are our two sons.
