@ghandigirl that is really beautiful and very creative. I absolutely love when creatives use different things to bring art to life. I love it. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
@BabsEllen, how did your surgery go? I'm holding you in prayer for your continued healing and restoration.
I have a physical therapist friend who had hip surgery (her second one) two months ago. I am having my own surgery coming up in a few weeks, and my friend recommended a meditation by Belleruth Naparstek, "Guided Meditations to Promote Successful Surgery." She said it really helped her with recovery and rehabilitation. Some hospitals are even using it.
@ghandigirl, your tin man really made me smile! I loved it. In fact, given my senior status, it made me think of something a friend recently said: "it's all maintenance from here on out." Humor lifts us up, and is very healing.
@deetoo I SO appreciate your kindness and caring. Prayers and meditation make all the difference. This being my 4th joint, I have to say I felt calmer, more assured, and generally better knowing of others’ prayers and meditation on my behalf. So, thank you. Everyone. It is greatly appreciated. I will definitely use the meditation by Belleruth Naparstek as I pursue healing theu physical therapy. Love love love ghandigirl’s artwork, also. Have saved it, and if okay with you, ghandigirl, I will print a copy for my bedroom! Blessings to you for YOUR surgery, deetoo. Love to you all.
@babsellen, When you said "This being my 4th joint", something else immediately came into my mind! And then I laughed out loud, at myself. So funny how "joint" has taken on multiple meanings.
@deetoo Hilarious! Maybe if it were four of the OTHER kind of joint, then it wouldn’t hurt so badly!😂
@ghandigirl I love your creation!!! I will share a very meaningful to me song that got me through some very difficult times. Goes perfectly with your artwork ! Now when I hear I will think of you and send Love Light to you as well as the others this song calls to me about.

The harm my child has done is irreparable I am forced to give up.
Never did I imagine this scenario.
I pretend I am not a mom. I am hurting though.
Please keep me in prayer as I work on accepting this loss. It is the hardest of my life.
@ghandigirl estrangement is never an easy thing... but do not give up Faith. I went through a very dark period of estrangement with my son .. thought that we would never be on speaking/spending time/company with again....a period that lasted about 5 years... for various reasons, mental health post military service and self medication with drugs..legal troubles...things I could not have in my home/life for my own health reasons.
One day I got a call... "Mom... can I come home? " The answer was yes. Now I am not going to say it was easy and did not have it challenges .. but.. we have healed the deepest hurt and discord between us and its now ordinary mother/child interactions and minor irritations. I am proud of the man he has become... and.. he understands my viewpoint a lot more now too.
As long as there in life here there is hope. That being said? You must make choices that support your own health and life. You are in my prayers daily.
