Happy Happy Joy Joy...

Hey all

I’m feeling lots of joy today. I really am. Maybe it’s because it’s Friday, Maybe its because of the beautiful flowers Noah sent me, maybe its just that it is so good to be alive!!

But I am feeling the joy for sure.

I just got back from yoga. That’s 3 classes this week. I’m going to do one tomorrow too. No I’m not over doing it. My lungs are loving it. My bones need it. My head and spirit long for it.

Its funny, I can’t walk up my front stairs without a good panting session but yoga flows. Don’t get me wrong yoga is a far different from before but it feels really good spending that kind of time with my body and breath.

Lets face it those of you that have walked up our front steps can attest to the challenge they can present to anyone...even those with strong healthy lungs. They are steep and there are about 25 of them. Soooooooo.

That is the true test to me. When I can climb those stairs with just the smallest "normal" effort. I know I have arrived. :)

Today in clinic I was told that I only have to go once a week. I didn’t even have to ask for that one. That was an unexpected gift.

The effects of going down on the prednisone is already showing up in a normal white blood count. The white cells go way up on Pred along with other counts.

I’m hoping soon Ill be taken off the Beta blocker for blood pressure because my blood pressure was AOK today.

I’ve heard here and there that it can be rough in other ways coming off of that stuff (the Pred) but Doc Martin likes the slow trail so hopefully it will be nothing but ecstatic joy as it gets lower.

I was so excited last night. I bought a big plastic container of ladybugs for the garden they are good at eating the pests that destroy the plants back there. But mostly I felt bad for them and I wanted to set them free.

So you have to let them go at night after you watered, they don’t fly at night and this gives them a chance to eat drink and make their home in the yard.

This morning I went out there and they were all over the roses and other plants and they were happy. I wanna get more and set them free. You can even get Praying Mathis. I want to set them all free everywhere.

I’m trying to grow flowers so the humming birds will come around...they don’t like the feeder. I hear them all over the place but haven’t seen them. So we'll see all the seeds that Noah planted for me are popping up big time. Its summer in SF in Sept and Oct, so maybe they will bloom in time for a little humming Bird action. I also got some to attract butterflies.

At the front of the house I hung this sock like thing that is filled with seeds and about 3 dozen yellow finches come and feed off it. And boy do they eat up a storm. I think I’m going to be their caregiver for a while now.

Zeus sits at the window licking his chops, while Katrina can’t be bothered. The birds...they just carry on and eat. I’m trying to get them to not fly away when I walk up the steps...but we'll see.

Maybe I can be “The Bird Whisperer"

So there is just so much life here at 9 Eagle street. A beautiful back yard, Birds at my front window, lovely plants all in my living room thriving, Noah and I loving each other up and enjoying each other.

My Grateful and Blessed Remission.
So much life
So much Joy
So many blessings.

I hope you are finding all those things in your life in this very moment, right now.

Happy Friday and may your weekend be filled with even more of the same delightful things.

Purrrs Prayers, Love and more Love

Namaste
Victoria
