“Seven dogs?” the Muse of Many Questions queried. “I only count six.” Urania cleared her throat. “Think outside the mixed media pad? Can you see beyond the obvious?” “Henny’s paw?” Cal inquired. “Okay… seven. Got it.” “What did we write about before cancer?” asked Thalia.
Your comment that you are learning to accept help reminds me of one of my favorite sayings - “life is like a sailboat, some days the water is calm and it’s smooth sailing ahead. On other days, you need to rely on your crew”. Learning to accept help allows others to connect with you and I’ve learned that when we show our vulnerability, it invites those around us to let themselves be vulnerable too. Sending hugs.

Henny's behavior: any relation to parents dropping off the kids with the grandparents/aunt&uncle, coming back hours later, apologizing for sticking them with the kids, being told "Oh heavens, they were little angels, we had a wonderful time"... and fingerprinting the kids when they get home to make sure nobody got switched? 🤨
Paintist is an inspiration to me… I started sketching awhile back and then let my new found passion drift away. However, every piece of art shared by Typist and Paintist keeps my hopes alive along with a new promise to “schedule” joy into my daily activities.
Since I am now actively “Tracking Wonder” it is my intention to use my joy time tomorrow to draw. ✍🏼 🎨✍🏼
What have you done with the Muses? You've become bewitched and turned them into the dogs? I emplore you; please undo that mischief! Yeah, I do appreciate all the writer, typist, paintist things you do, but the Muses have won a warm spot in my heart. Please?
Say it again, and again, and again, Gail--"I am feeling remarkably well," especially if you have a moment it doesn't ring true. That's when you need to say and hear the words most of all.

PS- Love the monkey! 😉 🙈 😊
I’m curious, do you bowl or ice skate?

But, but, but?? About that monkey? A vision check - for Muses or readers. 🤷🏽
On the actual topic of seeing new possibilities from changed circumstances, and learning to accept help, I can learn from every word! Thanks, Gail.
