Relief

I really need to feel some peace and quiet. The humming in my ears is getting worse, louder and more frequent. I have an appointment with the doctor Monday, I'm hoping she can offer me some sort of relief. It's hard to hear and concentrate. It's gotten to where I have to leave the TV on when I go to sleep just so there is some other noise.

I've heard many folks suffer from this, some worse than others. I remember watching a show where it was so bad the guy tried drilling into his head to get rid of it. I hope in never gets to driving me that crazy. 

When it started I didn't really notice it so much, it was rather quiet. Just there behind all the other noises you hear every day. It has progressively gotten louder and more frequent. I hope it's not something I have to contend with for the rest of my life. 

I shall know more on Monday. Praying for relief.

My StarBright

 


She's the one thing in my life that keeps me grounded. When everything else is out of my control, thoughts spinning in my head and life in an 'unknown' state - she's there. Feet firmly planted on the ground. Whether I ride every day or don't get to ride for a year, she's ready to go. And she loves to go. 

 Yesterday was the first ride in a while. We actually got out on the road and explored new sights. Cars whizzed by and she trotted along as if they didn't even exist. She prances and dances and loves our rides. I think she misses the long ones as much as I do.

 At 29 you would think she's slowed down. The gray hairs are starting to appear mainly on her face. She's earned every one of them. Keeping her healthy has been a priority and it shows. A little out of shape, nothing that a few consistent rides won't cure. We miss the trails and will be working up our endurance together.

We don't get as much time together lately as I would like, so we make it count when we are together. Whether it's a ride, a good brushing or just a vet visit. We connect. 5 minutes with her and the world quiets down and stops spinning. Everything feels brighter. 

She's the best part of life and so worth waking up for.
