RUIE'S SYMPHONY

hi guys, sorry I've been away for a while sad to say I had a stroke and I haven't been able to do things like usual, it's mostly on my left side it's very weak I have to walk with a cane or walker but I'm still here. My left hand can't type for me so I use a program called Dragon naturally speaking, it's a godsend and wonderful for people who have disabilities although it sometimes gets my name wrong and calls me Ruby not ruie which I have to type in when I use it. So instead of 120wpm I use the Dragon and it's almost the same thing as typing I can go as fast as I talk. Well anyway to make a long story short I'm getting back to things I do like reading and painting and enjoying life. I am grateful for every sunrise. And I've learned that life is short and you have to do what you can do when you can do it. So don't be like me and waste your time with dreaming about things you can't do just do what you can do and be grateful. My grandson Matthew is also a God'send he helped me get back on the stick and so now I can edit my blog. I'll be back in a few days with some new stuff that I've been doing lately painting on silk and hand dyed circular scarves plus painting abstracts which really is my passion these days. Sayonara for now talk to you tomorrow

THIS MOMENT

If you take care of this moment, you will take care of all time. —The Buddha

Quote
What is required is a willingness to look deeply at one's present moments, no matter what they hold, in a spirit of generosity, kindness towards oneself, and openness toward what might be possible. --Jon Kabat-Zinn

FOR LISA

Living Memory
I carry you with me into the world,
into the smell of rain
& the words that dance between people
& for me, it will always be this way,
walking in the light,
remembering being alive together
