Just a brief health update. For those of you who are regular followers of my blog, you are aware that I have been having throat issues...that is, difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia) and a chronic cough. Thus far, several months ago, they did X-rays which showed no abnormalities. Then a barium swallow was performed and again, this showed no abnormalities. I have been on a waiting list to see a gastroenterologist to explore further to find out why I am having these issues. In the meantime, I am patiently waiting for a call to get this appointment, which has been about 6 months now. I have been doing my best to work around it such as being careful what I eat and that I chew my food well, etc., reducing any possible risk of food getting stuck or coming back up. Please don't worry, and I really appreciate your presence here! More than you may realize! :)
I have also been very tired the last few months. Thank you all so much for your concern and for your thoughts, best wishes and prayers for me. I really appreciate it so much!
Here are today's selections, which I hope will brighten your day.

Hope is like carrying a spark in your pocket. It may not light the whole sky, but it's enough to brighten the road ahead. And sometimes, that's all you need to keep going.

Exercise gives you energy, but you need energy to exercise. Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me. :)
Today's agenda: relax. Take a breath, you deserve it.
Good Morning. May your morning be filled with peace, warmth and beautiful new beginnings.
The amount of beautiful things in your life depends on your ability to notice them.
The tongue has no bones, but it is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.
Making one person smile can change the world - maybe not the whole world, but their world.
It's never about the size of your circle, it's about the loyalty that's in it.

You claim I'm barking at nothing, yet we haven't had a single intruder. Do the math. :)
Goodnight.
The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone. These are my very first attempts of taking photos of the moon. I know they are not very good, but I decided to share them anyway so I could share and watch my progress! You can click on any image to see a larger view.
