BHAKTI IS BACK IN THE BLOGOSPHERE!!!!


LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO MY BEAUTIFUL MEDUSA TREE ROOTS!!!
BLASPHEMY!!!
THOSE DARN PUBLIC SERVICE ENERGY DOO-HICKY-WACKY PEOPLE!
NO RESPECT!




In other news, I just wanted to let you know that I've been crazy busy with doctor appointments up the wazoo! That's why I haven't been in touch lately. I switched doctors, and it appears to me that my new pain management doctor has me on the right track. Less meds, more meditation and acupuncture. We'll see what happens. I'm still in pain, but at least I have a better frame of mind and my new doctor gives me more hope. Chronic pain is a very weird experience; especially for someone like me who so easily find beauty in everything. I think I've met my match. How to find beauty in chronic pain? Recognizing chronic pain as just another manifestation of the great one, I suppose.

Thank GOD I have an incredible family, and great friends!

In some other news, I had to hand in my letter of resignation to the Board of Education that I worked for (I was on medical leave all year). It looks like I won't be able to go back in the beginning of the next school year, either. Oh well. I know something great is going to come out of all of this. I just have too much grace in my life for it not to be so!

In honor of my resignation--which I'll admit, did depress me for a couple of weeks. I mean, I LOVE teaching!!!--please say a prayer for me. If you're not into praying, then simply eat some chocolate in my honor.

In honor of the health of my body, I am currently on a no wheat, no dairy, no caffeine diet. That means no coffee, no chocolate. Can you believe it? Bhakti is NOT eating chocolate! I really don't miss the chocolate. I miss things like muffins and the occassional ice cream cone. That kind of stuff. Also, I miss knoshing on cookies and other junk food. Oh well, my body will thank me in a little while!!

Okay--I've said enough. Now it's YOUR turn. Please tell me what you 've been up to or at least tell me a good joke!

Thanks,
Much love,
Bhakti

Some Photos For Your Viewing Pleasure...

This is painted a few feet to the left of my driveway!

I love the roots to this tree. I love the fact that they are above ground. Don't they look like Medusa?


I've always had a soft spot for St. Francis of Assisi.

I looked at this tree and immediately thought of the dancing Shiva!

I've been admiring these tiny blue flowers for days. Now, they are forever immortalized on my blog!


At first sight, I thought this was a snake; then, I realized it was just an odd colored root coming out of and going back into the ground.

Bubble gum on the fence to the grammar school courtyard. Everyday I see another piece has been added. I'll keep you posted (the entire fence should be loaded up with gum by the end of the year!).

Birdie.


This squirrel actually stood still until I got my camera out of my bag and took the photo. As soon as I took the photo, he ran up the tree!
