calligraphy by John Stevens
wing a flourish
from a heart
rotate
fly across an “O”
tap a shoulder of an “r”
and drop kite-like
deflate gently to the bottom
where “amore”
breaks the ground
( Note the harmony possible with the fine point pen, the extra thin lines, and the
itsy bitsy Majuscule letters)

in culturing your friends, Poetry Tags: breath deeply, calcium, center myself, culturing your friends, elbows, face to face, hurricaine, I'm not falling again, increments, magnesium, mobility, molded shoes, orient, pause, pivot, recumbent stationary bike, thrive, women after 60, women before 60, zinc
women before 60 too!
Kristi asked for advice on how to stop breaking her wrist:
I shared:
dear Kristi
I have broken my wrist 3 x and now I’m 78 and not falling again.
I had to live with 2 fingers only and ended up using my elbows.
What I’ve done to have mobility:
1 had the podiatrist and Medicare fit me for molded shoes (fiberglass) and leather to allow maximum balance to every surface. Once a year prescription.
2 I purchased a Hurricane and use it every time there are steps with no railing. It gives me a fulcrum to stabilize.
3 When I stand from sitting or bed, I pause, and orient the direction toward which I’ll be setting out and then take the first step.
4 If I have to PIVOT, I do it in increments. This stabilizes my hip, knee, ankle, and foot surgeries.
5. I take calcium, magnesium and zinc supplement every night before bed.
6. I ride the recumbent stationary bike every day for 10 to 30 minutes and meditate.
7. I only speak to people face to face. Not from another room or opposite end of the house.
8 I breath deeply and focus to center myself all day long. My 40 year old son and daughter do the same. (They’re chips off the block!)
It is wonderful to share with you, kristi holl.
Love your blog,
Jeanne Poland

in Oxygen, Poetry Tags: alpha-lipoic acid, body and soul, breath well, crooked teeth ground, energized, eyelids grew puffy, home, hospital, Oxygen, selfie, smile, smiled with the oxygen, turmeric relieved swelling, wrinkles
selfie of Jeanne and her supplemental Oxygen
while in hospital
I purified myself
of alpha-lipoic acid
which eases wrinkles away
so they came around to smile.
My crooked teeth began to recede
as I ground the poor caps.
They smiled with the oxygen too;
it energized them.
Finally, my eye lids grew puffy.
Turmeric relieved the swelling.
But before I got home,
they smiled too.
My whole face
my whole body and soul
smiled with oxygen
and the ability to breath well!
