Dreams Fallen Down in a Well

Completed the Veteran’s Administration Online form to apply for health care. Hopefully they should get back to me in about two weeks. Once the VA gets back to me then I’ll set up an appointment not just for medical care but to avail myself of any other services and programs they VA has for Women Veterans. I served my country now it is time for my country to lend me a helping hand.

In the Meantime I’m……..

Dreaming Down a Well

I’m Dreaming Down a Well. Looking into the Abyss wondering how to fetch my dreams and save them from imminent disaster. I can see them. Arms stretched out waiting for me to throw Life Preservers. Life Jackets. A Net. Anything they can grab onto for salvation from a watery grave.

A Bucket. Damaged. A Rope. Now Long Since Frayed. Worn from constant use.

Send in the Buffalo Soldiers! Call forth the Avenging Angels of Mercy!

No Regrets? Yes I regret. A Youth Long Gone. Relegated to Ancient Myst’s.

Double V for Victory. Victory at Overseas. Victory at Home.

Star-seed buried in the sand awaits fertile ground. Resurrection. Regeneration. New Birth.

Nailiah nuzzled the earth like a hungry lamb or goat bleating out hunger cries in search for a Merciful Mother. Searching out the Allegorical Lessons of the Cave.

I bid the powers of the Luxurious Fox for release and redemption. Banished from Exile.

Out of Sync.

Re-Calibrating. Re~calibrating.

Scraping my scabby putrefying boils with pottery shards. Rocking the earth with wailing prayers. When I shed my old skin will that be my freedom?

How Long O’ Lord? How Long?

Share Your World – 2016 Week 38

With your answers, please remember we are in the SYW world which may not always match our reality.

Are you a hugger or a non-hugger?

Non-Hugger!! I don’t like to be touched!! Particularly when I it comes to men. Guys are way too touchy feely. Ugh! Creepy! This 5th Grader has made some rules that both genders can use. (See Link Below) It’s also best for folks to keep their hands to themselves and keep your distance!

I Do Hug my brother Stephen and a few close friends. Very few.

http://www.upworthy.com/a-5th-grader-wrote-7-rules-for-talking-to-girls-but-grown-ups-could-learn-from-them-too?c=upw1&u=715a9810b86ff88594d6c629760037c9997c314a

What is your least favorite Candy?

Hmmm… I suppose anything gooey like marshmallows. Once a guy whom I was dating brought me some Turkish Delight from Istanbul, Turkey however it was way too sweet for me and I had to give it away. Also given the fact that I’m Pre-Diabetic I should not be eating any type of candy!

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “fun”?

Spending time with my brother Stephen.

List of Favorite Smells: What smells do you love? Whether it’s vanilla scented candles or the smell of coffee in the morning or the smell of a fresh spring rain…make a list of all the things you love for a little aromatherapy.

Vanilla, Eucalyptus, fresh baked bread, fried chicken, roses, etc…

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

That I made it through my work week which is an accomplishment within itself. Spent time with Stephen last weekend and the Happiness & Joy of me being on vacation this week. Sunday I look forward to taking my girlfriend out for her 60th Birthday!! Now that will be lots of fun!!

DAILY PROMPT

Stylish

Stephen and I have been Stylin’ since we were babies. I grew up as a Girly Girl. A real Clotheshorse especially when I was younger. I had more shoes in my closet than Imelda Marcos and after I moved into my own apartment the clothes bar in my closet broke under the weight of all my outfits! LOL!! My Dad used to joke that I had to get dressed just to put out the garbage. I think that I took after my Aunt Thelma who had those same attributes and passed them along to me!! LOL!!

I was never much on make-up (except lip stick otherwise I look like a blank slate), fake eyelashes or fake nails but since my job requires me to be on my feet for long hours bi-monthly pedicures are a must. I do get manicures but neat, short, clean with clear polish because I still must cook, clean the house and do dishes. Of course hair care is a must!! As you can see from my photos I’ve had every hair style know to Black People from the 60s up to and including the present. Now I color my hair. I loathe gray hair. I do not look good in gray hair and let’s not advance my age more than it is already. Getting older should not include looking like a frump or a bag lady. Yes, Vanity Thy Name is Woman!! LOL!!

My Mom Mable Elizabeth Palmer who was born in the small town of Davy, WV and raised in Dayton, Ohio also Loved to dress well. Her beauty and style are what captured the heart of my Dad Edward G. Palmer.
