Just FIR clarification - PS

PS - I really need to add a post-script fir my first message & fir the title of this blog. As you have no doubt surmised I use the word "fir" to represent the word "for" which is a purposeful choice, not a spelling error. My spouse is continually urging me to make sure I correct such mistakes in my correspondence before sharing it. One of the health strategies I have developed over my lifetime relates to trees. This means going out to be in nature & be near a tree whenever possible. It also means reminding me of the trees in my written communication. The word "fir" reminds me of trees. When I use fir to represent for (which actually occurs more frequently than one might suspect) I think of trees. Whenever I think of trees I try to remind myself to be thankful to the trees who provide the life-giving oxygen that allows my breath. For no matter how badly I am feeling, as long as I have the gift of my breath, I have the gift of life. And i

The year of my birth

After pronouncing that this blog will not appear in chronological order I am going to go back as far as I can go - my birth. My parents were married in 1967 - Canada's Centennial year. I believe the African tradition positing that conception of another actually happens in the moment the thought of that child enters the parents hearts & minds.

I made an effort to plant as many Red Spruce trees - Nova Scotia's provincial tree - my trees of life - in conjunction with the Canada 150 commemorations. There are other stories about my birth (& about my Tree of Life projects) but I am going to save those fir other posts. I want to make the posts short & concise - very unlike me & my usual writing style 8) All fir now, S8) ps - Interestingly en

Starting out...

Well here I am. It has taken me any years to get here, and against all odds I have made it to this moment, here, now. This is a blog of random, definitely not chronological stories of my journey with health. Health is everyone's concern. But it has been on my radar more than most people on account of the unique combination of illnesses, diseases, infections, accidents, events and various other sundry experiences that have made me who I am and have made my health journey what it was & is. We all have experiences with health. It is my hope that in sharing some of mine, it might connect with others so that we can continue the health journey together... Here goes... Sue 8) aka SLRSB...
