Today was a mix of all sorts of feelings.  First, I went to see my new doctor for my chronic neck pain.  Dr. Murray is a Chiropractic Neurologist specializing in chronic pain, vestibular disorders and other stuff.  It’s great for me because I can get all of my ailments taken care of in one visit.  Dr. Murray worked on my neck, jaw, did exercises and challenged me with brain exercises for my central vestibular issue.  He’s very knowledgeable and has a lot of techniques for healing.

Next, I went to get my Trini treats at Pam’s Roti shop.  A dozen spicy Jamaican patties, ginger beer, Trini curry powder, spicy chick peas, real Cadbury’s chocolate with whole hazelnut from England and plantain chips. Oh my goodness!  I surprised Nathaniel at work and delivered treats for him.  Trini food and hugging my son gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

Then, more happy feelings.  I went to visit my 90 something Aunt at her nursing facility.  She remains in great spirits despite her inability to walk on her own.  We chatted, admired the adorable finches, and sang holiday songs.  A couple of other ladies joined us and I had a blast!  One woman smiled real big and said “I can remember the words.”  So touching.  It’s remarkable how the brain remembers music and the words just come out naturally.  I remember my mom singing up a storm all the time.  She knew the words to Christmas carols that we never even heard.  I miss those times; we had a lot of fun together.

The holidays are upon us!  Get ready to enjoy and take in all the lights, decorations, smells, food, music and love around you.  

Peace.

I hope Santa brings me these adorable finches!

So adorable!
