Yesterday was a tough day.. I woke up with so much tingling in my face.. I took some medication that is supposed to help.. but it changed nothing.. I tried to log onto B of A for my EDD report, and I couldn't figure out how to do it.. Al always tells me to stop and walk away.. I forgot about doing that.. I just kept trying to figure it out and I got worse and worse until I was completely confused.. I have to remember to stop when I feel that way. He said that we have discussed doing that.. but I don't remember the conversation.. My memory is no better than a gnat's.. So I cancelled seeing some wonderful friends, and just laid down the rest of the day.. Today my face is still tingling, so I am not going to do financial things today. I wrote this poem yesterday, to try to process what was going on.
Confused

Sometimes the tingling in my face

Is beyond ignoring

My mind can’t focus or think right

And I am just confused



So I think of what I know

What I am not confused about

How I am loved and cared for

No matter what my brain is doing



If I can relax about it all

And not give in to being upset

If I can just rest in stillness

Then I won’t worry or be concerned



Confusion is just temporary

A state of mix up

And 1 + 2= 36

Does it really matter?



I like it when I think

On the things that bless

Not the things that upset

I can rest, be confident and loved.

    BARB'S ARTWORK
    It seems to fall into the category of Aleatoric Art. I just scribble &  it looks
    like something 
    to me, so
    I turn it into
    whatever I see.


    ​Aleatoricart posted this description in September 2011 (this is an elevated view in my opinion):

    "Aleatoric Art is the ultimate collaboration between
    man and the elements. Happenstance, randomness
    and a twist
    of fate’s unwilling wrist go in halfseys
    with some of the most outstanding visionaries
    the planet can boast in a peaceful
    yet often violent serendipity of
    creative cacophony
    to produce works of art that go far beyond those
    of mere mortals alone."
