You Know It’s Crazy When…

Looking for the Light

If you haven’t followed me long, you may not be aware of the health struggles I’ve had dating back to 2010. Not only have I had a major run-in with what might have been the end of my life, but since 2012 I’ve suffered with severe balance issues and cognitive impairment. Although I don’t have a clue what The Mayo will diagnose me with, I am totally confident in their ability to find answers and get me the right treatment.

This post is something I’ve been laughing so hard about because it can only be funny. I’ve been wishing this one plant to have babies for the past year or two to no avail. Today, I was looking at it again, trying to understand why it hasn’t had a baby. Then the brick hit me, it’s an artificial plant! It makes me laugh every time I think about it. Apparently, I was very sick when I planted it thinking it was a live plant only to find today, that it won’t have any babies. HAHA!!!!!!!

I chose to find it funny, how could I not? I won’t kick myself for being too sick to know the difference. I believe this general attitude is why I keep pushing forward in life and can deal with what comes my way. Who needs a kick in the ass?

  3. When my mom was in her late 70s, she made a big deal about a miracle flower she didn’t have to water, yet it was still beautiful. I was in a very serious frame of mind at that time of my life and wanted her to know the truth. I said, Mom, I don’t think this flower is real. She changed the subject. I now understand how she might have thought it was real. It was a red, silk tulip in a clay pot with what looked like dirt. I wish I had just gone along with the miracle flower and let her have her fun. I still have the silk flower in the clay pot as a reminder to enjoy life and go with the flow.

  4. I am mesmerized by this photo I found on your site. (Well, heck! It won’t paste!) There’s a vase with dried flowers next to a lit candle that has a ribbed chimney over it and next to it is a stack of books. Such simple beauty and serenity.

  8. I love that you’re laughing! Sometimes we criticize ourselves way too much when decisions are made during difficult times of sickness – even a small thing like planting!! Keep up that joy and positive focus!🙏🏻💕💕

  10. That’s good you can laugh about it.
    There are artificial plants that look so real now.
    I used to have quite a few artificial plants one time and one or two people mistaken them for real.
    One person kept touching one of them to convince themselves I think that it was indeed an artificial plant when they thought it was real.
    And I have done the same on occasion where I stared at a plant trying to work out whether real or not.
