Today’s the day I’ve been waiting and waiting for, TWELVE LONG YEARS! The three judge merit-panel at the Fourth District Court of Appeal in Florida is scheduled to meet today to make a decision. I won’t know what they decide for another 2-3 weeks (or at least that’s my understanding) but it’s a huge relief just to know the case finally reached them. My prayer is only that they’ll consider ALL of the facts and have the wisdom and courage to devise a remedy that’s not only fair and just but also will serve to really end this hell I’ve been put through so my little family and I can finally have some peace.

In the spirit of today, I’ve created some new legal icons/clip art – each in vastly different styles. Trying to experiment and widen my range. Enjoy!

What I do when me brain’s on the fritz…

The tinnitus in my left ear has been roaring all week, so loud I feel like I’m trapped in the wind tunnel at NASA with a squadron of B-52’s just outside. It is exhausting and mind-boggling and so mostly I sleep but tonight I was restless and so thought I’d just play – let my mind alone to wander, my imagination take flight, and my mouse go where it willed without any restraint. I had no idea where my doodles would lead and now that I’m done, I’ve no idea what’s displayed on my screen. Is it just a bit of digital silliness? Or subconscious deep thought? I leave it to you to decide. All I know is that the jets have not landed and the ocean tide is rushing at my feet. And so I go back to sleep.

Today’s My Birthday – Sew What?

A lot of folk in western culture seem to dread growing older. Some stop counting their birthdays after age 30, 40 or the like and shun celebrations. Some go as far as to lie about their age, deducting a few years while their physical assets are plausible enough for them to get away it and when their body’s defy the hoped for illusion, some turn to plastic surgery. Personally, I’m just so grateful for each and every day, week, month and year that I’ve been able to survive, I feel like wearing my age pinned to my chest like a badge of honor. For all intents and purposes, for me to be still alive and kicking on this day, which is my fifty-sixth (56) birthday, is a miracle and such a blessing, that I can hardly find adequate words to express it. I can think of no greater gift than to see this morning’s sunrise. Everything else is just gravy.

For those of you who share the burden of living with chronic pain, chronic disease, and/or a terminal diagnosis, you know what I’m talking about. Because even with having to deal with pain and fear and all the various effects and disabilities in our lives, every sunrise begins a new day to hope. Yep. Better days are coming.
