Staring at the fan

Well today is a busy day (most have been and I apologize for my delays). I am actually posting today from the Acquired Brain Injury rehabilitation centre and I am grateful that they have offered a way for my laptop to connect.

So I am working hard and am developing new skills to be able to cope with my challenges.

This morning was also blood work where a wise woman reminded me that every day is another step forward … “baby steps.”

On the way here this morning I very much enjoyed this song that i heard for the first time… it summarizes my plans for tomorrow (oh, that will be April Fools’ Day – all the more reason to plan a slow day).

Hope you are all doing great and thank you very much for your continued messages of support.

Be well,

Jen

THE LAZY SONG

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FZtN7T5PXM

Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
‘Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything

I’m gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody’s gon’ tell me I can’t

I’ll be lounging on the couch just chilling in my Snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
‘Cause in my castle I’m the freaking man

Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it ’cause I can

Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
‘Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything
Nothing at all, nothing at all

Tomorrow I’ll wake up, do some P90X
Find a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she’s gonna scream out
This is great
(Oh my god, this is great)

Yeah, I might mess around
And get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you’ll just have to wait

Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it ’cause I can

Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
‘Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything

No, I ain’t gonna comb my hair
‘Cause I ain’t going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I’ll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
‘Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything

Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all

Humility with icing

A birthday blows by and names / memories / moments / joy / agony and love all whirl around me…

No matter what has come and gone in my life I am lucky. I am here and you are here with me. I am lucky to have you and I am blesssed to have my remarkable sons, a determined husband and a wonderful family.

Every day this pixel world reminds me of this remarkable life. I live and breathe and dream and as hard as it can be I AM ALIVE!

I plan to figure out where I can find my future with this keyboard and surrounded by loved ones and friends and reaching out to every corner of the world to learn, share and experience as much as possible.

I am here

So, dear world, I stand on the rock on the top of the most challenging mountain I have been climbing yet… I feel the wind whip around me. I tip my face back – eyes closed and sun shining on me with no furrowed brow – and as the camera pulls back from my perch on top of my world the rest of the mountains come into focus and the sky’s blue promise with white clouds moving so fast reminds of the larger reality beyond.

I will sit here for a while and absorb every second of this…

…and then…

…I will set my sights on the next mountain.

No matter your pace, your past, your pain, your ability, YOU are invited.

Come with me *smiles warmly*

Be well.

Azure dreams

* credits to Coldplay – song “Green Eyes” *

Honey, you are a rock
   Upon which I stand
      And I come here to talk
        I hope you understand

That green eyes, yeah the spotlight,
   shines upon you
       And how could anybody deny you?

I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter, now I’ve met you

And honey you should know,
   that I could never go on without you
Green eyes

Honey you are the sea
   Upon which I float
      And I came here to talk
         I think you should know

That green eyes, you’re the one
  that I wanted to find
And anyone who, tried to deny you
  must be out of their mind

Cause I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter, since I met you

Honey you should know,
  that I could never go on without you

Green eyes          ~          Green eyes

Ohoho… Ohoho… Ohoho… Ohoho…

The sea upon which I float
