GAD ZOOKS!
Gad Zooks you people are stupid
We are not humans anymore
With thoughts, emotions and feelings
We are commodities
To be used and discarded like a can of soup
We are numbers
Counted then discounted
Cut the bottom line they say
That’s us you know
We are percentages
When they figure the losses
As we age
Even though educated
With much to offer
There is even less need
Are you really that dumb to believe
The advertising is meant for you
The young live up to their full potential
Being predictable just like we all have been
Make a difference they say
Care for others and give
Amazingly within each of us we can, we do
Most importantly it must be without reward
Demanding to be totally unselfish
Say your prayers
Talk to God twenty-four seven
Ask what He wants you to do
Pray for the things you want
Be prepared to receive what you need
Then live life to the fullest
The ultimate peace is waiting for you.

8:43am
A Euphoric Moment
I woke up with a backache that I thought was gone, shoulder pain from shoveling, and an upset stomach from Taco Bell tacos, chips and dip – a small amount – and a piece of cherry/fresh raspberry pie.
I’ve had a case of acid reflux going for a week.
Add to that horrible gas from the TB tacos.
The first time I took the dogs out this morning at 5 am Mimi wouldn’t pee so I got angry and upset with her and not feeling very well I started to cry.
I was also very tired – I had a horrible dream.
I’ve been to the bathroom twice and am ready to go again.
I went back to bed.
I got up at 7:30, brushed my teeth, and took the dogs out again.
This time I put on shoes and walked them all the way to the back yard over the new fallen snow and Mimi peed.
I poured a glass of V8 – I know, makes no sense – but no acid reflux reaction.
I made Pillsbury Grands Cinnabon Caramel rolls.
I also made my weekend pot of coffee.
Then I sat down and I really felt old – like sitting is the only answer to stop my body from aching.
My buns said, “Ahhhh.” Very odd.
I couldn’t take it. I got up and went downstairs to exercise. I got through two of them and had to use the bathroom again.
I went back upstairs because the dogs were making so much noise and Kelly was still sleeping.
I poured a cup of coffee adding my vanilla latte creamer.
After that first taste I didn’t worry about pain.
I played with the dogs throwing the toys down the hall over and over.
The buzzer went off telling me the rolls were done.
I took them out, covered them in frosting, and cut one up for myself.
Between the roll, the V8, and about a third of the cup of coffee I had my moment.
I realized I was awake but more importantly I had a blissful, ecstatic, elated feeling that made me want to write this.
Whether we realize it or not that is heaven.
It is one of the smallest parts of life that carries us through our day.
Thank You God!
