Out of the Sand

Jekyll Island

I stir in the powdered medicine with my magic wand, an old disgusting plastic straw I haven’t had the mercy to throw out, into the cup of tea. The only beverage I’ve found it blinds the awful taste of that gritty powder. Popping the eleven pills into my mouth in groups of four, four, and three. When including the powder and the vitamins, that makes fourteen different medications I take each morning. With each serving the purpose of keeping my sweet ass alive and functioning.
 
As per usual, I rise up promptly at seven with my bride. Once she exits the room I usually just lay in the bed for a few minutes reading over any emails or messages I may have gotten during the night. Some of the time I take a moment to write encouraging little notes to some of the posts that I read. It’s an old habit I find hard to break, but one I do with sincerity to a few I feel that need it. Outside it’s a gloomy shade of gray, but the windows are still open for a cool breath of fresh air.   
 
If you’ve forced yourself to read this dull trash to this point…congratulations. As usual is just another snapshot of my morning. Peering beyond the chain linked fence and the hedgerow there’s an old plastic container rolling by my window. I smell the burning of my standby candle. A holiday scented something I picked up for 50% off some time ago. It burns like sage, although it says pumpkin on the label. But maybe that’s just what I need to run off the evil spirits that are hanging around my head.
 
So sorry, no affirmations for you this morning. You just have to read a book by my friend Kari Scott titled Beginning to Become, available on Amazon Kindle as an eBook. There in her infectious way she will take you through a series of life affirming affirmations that are sincere and honest. And face it, that’s all any of us can ask for out of a lite little reading, that will hopefully pull your head out of the sand.
