Happy Birthday

 You asked me to mentor. I can only tell you what works for me. Open your senses and receive God's directions. He will never leave you if you walk into His presence and ask Him for His Spirit to fall on you.

I should put it into a poem for others to read too. The world is sad from lack of God's touch and He has not moved away from us. It is us who left His side.

THE MENTOR

Truth be told, only from my view

Herein lies the reality skew

Eternity knows your path, true

Many names I am called and thereby will answer

Everyone, no matter the moniker, is sprinkled with a censer

No one but the Divine can lead or direct

The path was discussed, laid straight and correct

Only you and your maker are privy to that

Rest in that knowledge, for a glorious life, you were begotten.

Memorie's Thorns

 Marie Harris Thursday Photo Prompt

Memorie's thorns?

Many sights and signs 

Evoke thoughts of distrust

Meandering thinking by design 

Often brings only disgust

Remember though rebirth

Instead, Roses bloomed

Even-ing out the worth

Spraying the air, perfumed

Trust can be restored by loss

Humans learn by questioning

Only then understand all is dross

Ruination brings a day of reckoning

Needs before wants demand maturity

Sorrow dissipates, leaving purity security

The End

 English devolving - In the past few days, I've used words where the automated system has said I needed a different word with an entirely different meaning. With being ill, I allow that the brainpan is a bit spotty, so naturally, I double-check and then triple-check because they have the instrument but not the verb. Or they decided that one spelling of both actions will do the trick - only if you're taught that. And remember it.

I now see how society falls- take away reasoning, also known as critical thinking, then take away possibly confusing words - the automation was already fed lots of misinformation. Check that fact out, and you will find that 52 percent was wrong last week with automation,

but our humans insisted that automation had the right answer: Roughly 35 percent.

We already have our hieroglyphics, except this time around, they are called emojis - we just need a few more levels eliminating words, get hooked firmly into the hive of the borg, or go wild and start with googoos advancing to the duhs and grunts.

Or maybe it is the end of the book.

What did a doctor say to you that they should not have?

 I found this on Quora and answered there but also decided to share it here:

I went for a check-up as I had been on the same diuretic for 21 years - different ones tried to be used as new pills came available, but with all my allergies, I could only tolerate the old one. 

Several factors happened around the same time. The office switched from paper to computer files, and this doctor was young and full of himself. He greeted me with I am discontinuing your diuretic and giving you another, and I said no - that one and all the others tried in the past fifteen years made me ill. He said I will write a script, and he named what I said that made me sick.

Without allowing a rebut, he then said to me, “Now that you are 70, I am going to put you on a regimen of aspirin.” 

I said, “Why are you trying to kill me? I am highly allergic to aspirin.” 

He said it is not listed and read out the others. I said to add it - your transcriber left it out thinking, “No one is allergic to aspirin, and left it off my chart” 

(I complained to the doctor in charge and said you should check your files for errors.) Anyway, I refused to follow up with the doctor and refused his prescription. 

I looked into alternative methods of dealing with the lymphedema, and seven years later, as of the 70 quips by a doctor no longer in that office, my lymphedema inflammation is under control through clean eating and sound therapy. 

And with those changes, I lost 125 pounds. Inadvertently a doctor who was prescribing by age bias did me a favor. I am back to my full range of ability with my limbs and heading for 78. I look younger, but most importantly, my body is back to working as it did in my 20s. Yes, I do also walk a couple miles per day.
