Apologies again for not participating in posting and visiting for
a while as I would have liked to.
For the last 10 years, I have been in heart failure, I have two
replaced valves and one that needs help but no-one will touch.
Having taken care of my husband as he sank deeper and
deeper into dementia took a much greater toll of my health
than I had realised.
Now, when I launch into doing the things I enjoy, I rather often
sidestep my limitations and end up in an unholy mess.
I ate a little more than my normal small portions and BINGO
my heart resented my idiocy to the point of sending me into
orbit as seen in the third shot.
I am almost back on my pins again, no, I do not seek sympathy,
just a little understanding . . .
One never knows what one will see when looking at the sky
this time it was Zebras running through the clouds
just like snowflakes, no two are alike.
The night the moon left her light behind and came
spinning towards me to pick me up and take me away . . .
I hope you too have pure magic in your skies.
Love those sky zebras that can carry us away. Sure hope you're back to feeling better.
ReplyDeleteMagical zebra shots! Please take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteWonderful views of the sky. I like that snowflakes.
ReplyDeleteYour zebras are awesome ... I'm glad we have them downunder after all!!
ReplyDeleteGreat skies.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post Arija. I am having health problems at present and they are pretty scary. It is so helpful to read of others with even worse things. Keep well.
ReplyDeleteLove the image of zebras running through the sky! It's hard to rein in your mind to the limitations of your body when there are so many fascinating things to see and do. Take care, Arija.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful skies, the imagination of zebras in the skie and last picture is real magic! I am following you only a short time so I did not know about your heart failures. Hope you feel a bit better by now and take good care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteI love how that even when your health is not the best,you still see beauty around you. This is an inspiration to me.I love sky shots and am constantly reminding people to turn their eyes to the sky to see unending beauty.Take care and have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh, you may not be well, but you still have such beautiful photos. I will be praying for you, my friend. My husband had a massive heart attack 7 months ago, one of his valves completely destroyed and now lives on many medications and blood thinners. We live each day like it's our last... it is precious. Hugs and kisses... hang in there. Keep posting, you are beautiful...♥

ReplyDeleteOh, I do hope you're back up to snuff soon!! And, take care of yourself, okay?
ReplyDeleteYour posts always contain magic. OK, no sympathy but understanding for sure. And a plea that you not feel guilty when you don't feel like visiting or commenting. And that you know I'm thinking of you even when I get behind on my own visiting and commenting (and I have no excuse for it ... at this moment in time anyway).
ReplyDeleteOh Arija, I hope you can cope doing the things you want to do. Take care and get better! I kow what it is to look after a sick husband.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are great!
I understand...hugs
ReplyDeletePhotography is the passion that inspires us to get our legs over the edge of the bed each morning and get clicking .... you haven't lost that Arija .... Zebras in the sky ...pourquoi pas!
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful imagination. I trust your health and stamina will improve with time and gentle care.
ReplyDeleteOh Arija! I'm sorry to hear this.
ReplyDeleteMy father's dementia took a toll on my mother's health also until we knew it was time to release him to professionals, who at least work those demands in shift hours.
I am hoping your two replaced valves are carrying well the work of the faulty one. You are such a brave and wonderful lady - and I know you would not expect sympathy - but you have a great deal of admiration.
I hope you can have a relaxing weekend.
I'm glad you shared a little more personal history - as I did not know about your heart.
ReplyDeleteI'm in total agreement- I think it's important to share things, for the sake of understanding.
Your words & photos always find a way to make me think a little longer, Arija. The zebra clouds are wonderful.
I'm so sorry that you have to deal with so much. I'm glad that you're able to continue with blogging. We all love your posts so much. They are filled with spirited energy! We want your heart to remain strong! I have stage IV cancer but am responding well to treatment. Blogging is a good way for me to keep in touch with the world! Sending you all the best from sunny California!
