    Today’s Shot 78

    Whispers

    The wind whispering
    Through the grasses and the leaves
    Weaving, bending, dance
    Breezy voices sing and sigh
    Waving greetings at the sky …


    Allium

    Allium is the ancient Latin word for garlic, from the Celtic word all, meaning “hot or burning”. Its species name sativum means “cultivated” or “planted.” Spear plant or Gar-leac is the Anglo-Saxon word from which garlic is derived.


    1665

    The London College of Physicians recommended garlic to prevent plague.

    Making Sense of the Messy Middle

    A friend recently taught me how to make a Dream Catcher and I finally finished it! At first, it looked like a ill-formed mess of nothingness – but then it grew to have shape and meaning. It’s kind of like life sometimes… how we can take what seems to be a mess, what looks like ashes, and keep working with it until we find the meaning and beauty.

    Thank you Dory 😊

    The rainy night has been replaced with blue skies and bitter wind. It’s time to bundle up! 🧥


    Wellness Tip for Medical Workers

    Throughout the day, I am in and out of hospitals, loading and unloading patients for transport. I don’t have time to wash my hands every five minutes. I also don’t want sanitizer on my skin all day long.

    One thing that is emphasized with any virus alert or with flue season is to keep your hands clean, and to keep your hands away from your face.

    ***

    Skin-Saver

    One solution to putting sanitizer on my skin all day is keeping medical gloves on. I sanitize the hades out of my gloves all day – instead of my skin – and have clean gloves until I have a moment to wash my hands. You can also layer gloves and strip off the outer layer as needed.

    Stay well!

    Flying for family gatherings gives a higher view.

    It’s the world in white and blue.

    This can be a good time to think or dream,

    Of pretty much anything.
