Crows, Toes & Loss - #226

Have your ears been assaulted for hours, several days in a row by harsh caws of crows?  

As I typed that question, I heard the neighbor next door ask her husband how far their beebee gun shoots. 

What do you do about annoying animal sounds? (As I typed that, a car horn began honking in the distance.)

Has your big left toe hurt? I woke up with a painful toe, grateful for an acupuncture appointment scheduled today. My practitioner asked if I was around toxins yesterday? He made it clear he meant physical and emotional toxins. (He's a Chinese Medicine Doctor.) 

What toxins have you been around? Do your big toes hurt? (I hope that isn't too personal.)

Do the surviving members of your high school graduating class keep leaving the earth plane? Sending a sympathy card to the family and a check for the memorial fund seems appropriate. I don't want to make it a habit to go to funerals.

What do you do when a former classmate dies?

I assure you that all of this post actually happened and is 100% true. Let me know what you do in circumstances like these.

Thanks for exploring the mystery - Nicky Mendenhall

    "With firm likes and dislikes, you shut your door to
    the rest of existence."

  2. More than a ofrth of our class had died at the last reunion, and I know the next one will be smaller. It is sobering to see our mortality this way, but it is the nature of life, so I try to appreciate the life that has ended and pay more attention to mine, which isn't easy.

    1. I like how you say to appreciate the life that has ended plus - and this is important part I think - pay more attention to mine.

      I agree it isn't easy - I would like to talk to you about this sometime.

      Thanks for your time and energy sending a comment.
