COLOR

Variety is the Spice of Life.
(This I told hubby when he said,
“Ew, I don’t like this picture.
It looks too surreal.”
Duh. I deliberately made it surreal.)
~~~~

I had every intention of crawling on the ground yesterday to find COLOR in my gardens for you.  As I was minding my own business attempting to catch up on comments here (WP) I suddenly looked up from my laptop and I saw it snowing outside.  So right there I nixed the idea of me on the ground.  Cold is one matter.  Snow, however, is a completely different one, especially while laying on the cold ground.

Finding color someplace else, I chose Photoshop while my toes and fingers stayed warm.  Smart choice if you ask me.  I’m DONE with snow and freezing my arse off!  Gosh maybe if I keep capitalizing DONE Mother Nature will hear me and Spring’s warmth will finally arrive?

Yesterday I had a Chiropractic appointment at 11:30 in the morning.  I chose a day where I was minimally involved with our cats’ treatments and medications.  I even talked to my sister on the phone, wow!  I ate, dressed, put a French braid in my hair … ending by putting a ton of hairspray on it because my hair had ideas other then mine and just wouldn’t cooperate by staying in a tight braid.  What can I say?  My hair is deemed temperamental.  It’s curly.

Anyways, I left the house in plenty of time and had a leisurely enjoyable ride over to the office.  I felt relaxed.  Arriving at my destination, I calmly parked hubby’s truck, locking it, and with a spring to my step, went into the office.  Opening the door I immediately saw my Chiropractor and out of my mouth came,

Hi, Sweetheart!

Stopping in my tracks, I stared at him and then began to laugh.  I had NO intention of saying those words so I was rather taken aback!  I did not get embarrassed, however, because as I said to him, and as he well knows, ya just never know what may come flying out my mouth.  I could not believe I said that to him instead of calling him by name.  We both had a really good laugh, and left it at that.  As usual we talked a mile a minute catching up on all we both had learned in the interim between yesterday and my last visit.

I actually was scolded for not seeing him more oft.  Yes, I told him, I know yet my life … and he knew.  My upper back is like steel, (he couldn’t get it adjusted) and my lower back when he pressed on it almost had me flat on the ceiling.  Oh yes I really do need to come in more and I promised I would.  Thank goodness my neck and lower back both got a good snap!!

Hours later at home, it came to me why the words, “Hi, Sweetheart” came flying out of my mouth.  I am in “cat land” so much of the time, calling my cats Love, Sweetie Pie, Honey, Honey Bunch, Sweetheart, Muffy Wuffy, and such, that this language is so common place for me, so much so that it just comes out of my mouth without forethought.  The relaxed part I think got me.  Can’t really remember when I was that relaxed.

Anyways, I called the office, leaving a message explaining how I figured out why I said what I did, and I was laughing so hard as I left the message, poor guy will have to hire an interpreter to understand it.  Too funny!!

    1. I find it fascinating how everyone interprets something differently. I didn’t think this picture is eerie at all but yet you do. It’s different from my norm, that much I will admit. Yeah. I am so desperate for color right now it’s not funny so this is what I ended up doing. Thank you for viewing this post today and I hope you really have a wonderful day! Much Love to you, Susan Marie! 💖🌹💖

    1. My husband is honest to a fault, Ben. He doesn’t, however, stop to think how his words, while well-meaning may inflict hurt. I know by now how he is so I just shrugged the matter off. What is art to one person is garbage to the next. It’s all in the perspective. 😉

    2. PS. Just to give you an example how powerful our thoughts are …. As I was driving over to my Chiropractor’s office, I very soft “thought” said …. It really would be nice to have something happen to write about on my blog … Voila! A story happened! And as soon as that thought appeared it disappeared, floating rapidly away. I’m becoming more aware of my thoughts … tricky at best. 😎

      1. That my dear friend is spirit speaking to you. Any time you have those subtle but very relevant thoughts come through, that is your spirit/higher self/God ‘chatting’. We keep putting them all down to ‘oh, wasn’t that amazing’ and just forget about it, but your awareness has reached a new level Amy after all you have been through, so now you will begin to ‘feel’ the difference. You were aware of how powerful it was, so you now know that subtle difference. In the beginning it gives a very beautiful feeling within, an inner smile I call it, so that you ‘know’ where it has come from, a signature if you will 😀
        And then I went looking for it and got in the way thinking it was coming through with this or that. It isn’t until you ‘let it go’ that it will flow much more smoothly. And yes, I will put something ‘out there’ to spirit and just let it go. I’ve got to a point that spirit can pass something on and if I think I know better, and fall on my face, spirit will laugh. And I don’t mean a laughter I can hear in my head but that ‘knowing’ like your story and the feeling of a laughter within it 😀
        After what you have felt, you will know. Enjoy the journey 😀

      2. Yes, it really was like an inner smile, Mark. As softly as that thought came it left and I didn’t even think twice more about it. This whole experience was so delightful from finish to end. I’ve also had two dreams now, each showing me that two of our cats required special attention, for they each were showing symptoms. These dreams were right on, alerting me before I “knew” in real time that either one of them required special help. Both received that help today. I was shown a third cat as well … yet I’m still unsure of the meaning of what I was shown. If I didn’t know better, Rocky is assisting me through these dreams. This has never before happened to me. I usually don’t dream much yet lately that has changed. What an incredible Journey!
        (smiling) I deliberately have begun putting out to Spirit some things, and as I let go those thoughts are immediately forgotten. So weird that something so important to me would just poof go. How cool this is!!! 💖💖💖

      3. It is very subtle Amy and takes a bit to get used to, like anything else we do. But it is your own personal guide Amy, and done with a love like no other. Mind you, I’ve had spirit ask me to do something of which I didn’t believe or dug my feet in…and was shown the error of my ways and the truth within it, which was for my or others own good. Even though some things can be difficult they are most certainly done with a truth, a love for us in whatever it may be ❤ 😀

      4. Right now what am I getting from Spirit is all good and believe me I’ll take it with deepest gratitude. I’ve had so many years of difficult experiences and lessons that I am more than ready for good times to roll on. This is better truly wonderful conversation, Mark. Thank you! 😙

    1. Andy, I was dumbfounded. I just stood there just not believing I said what I did. As for my Chiropractor, he didn’t flinch. LOL He knows me well, and good for him not getting embarrassed either. Have a great day, dear friend! 💖

  6. Loved this Amy and it made me smile. I also call my pooch Harry ‘sweetheart’ so I totally get how it slipped out of your mouth. It’s good to laugh, even if it’s at our own expense. 🙂 Love the photo too, very surreal and moody. Big hugs to you xo 💖

    1. Good to know you got a chuckle on me, Miriam! I have many cats so I am always saying “love words” to them. Good thing my Chiropractor knows me and did not get embarrassed. LOL Have a great day today! 🌸

  7. I think the doctor’s proper response should have been, “Hello, Sugar” in keeping with the lightness of the situation and acknowledging your distraction. Then you wouldn’t have felt a need to call back and explain. But either way, I’m sure everyone had a nice chuckle over it.

    Photo editing is fun. I still use the program that came with my last camera, which basically does the same stuff. It even has a psychedelic setting! Mostly, though, I just use it to enhance color or provide crispness to what would otherwise be very bland photos.

    1. It was in the way I explained laughing so hard that hopefully I gave him even a harder laugh, CM. I know it really was in the back of my mind why in the world I did what I did and I’m glad I finally understood the reason why. My mind works like that… Wanting to know the reason why. As for photo editing yes it is fun and I had a blast doing what I did to this Photograph. If some don’t like it that is their prerogative and that is okay. I hope you are having a good day today. Much Love to you! 💖🌹💖

  10. Lol! Did chiropractor give you a good discount for such an endearing greeting! But I totally get you as I say the same things to our neighborhood stray cat and my inanimate furball Garfield too. It is to me, “mummy language”😂😂

    1. No, Garfield, he did not give me a discount. The laugh was more than enough compensation! I am just so glad you got a laugh on me today! Laughter just feels so darn good especially when it just keeps on going! Believe you me, I LOVE to laugh! Much Love to you this day! 💖🌹💖

  18. Amy, nothing is wrong you said. At least you did not harm your chiropractor. But the funny things happen sometime with no our intentions.
    From the other side your husband’s words about the picture shouldn’t harm you. His opinion is honest. I appreciate that kind of opinions because they help to see at myself by the others eyes and to understand if I am right or wrong in different kind of situations, actions etc. I do not like when people who are important for me are indifferent.
    The picture is nice and provoke to turn on the imagination!

      1. Thank you, Amy. Unfortunately, we have nasty weather this weekend: freezing rain, snow pallets, fog. Actually, all pleasant things you could imagine. It is nice to stay home beside the fireplace.

  19. Oh my goodness – I can so relate! I backed some zucchini cake for the neighbors at Christmas. I was delivering one across the street and Bob, my new neighbor took the cake and was very grateful asking if this was some kind of American custom (I live in the UK now) – I said, well I’m not sure but I have done this for my neighbors in the past. He was smiling and told me to stop by for drinks on Christmas – “Thanks Bob, love you!” came out of my mouth – he then said, caught up in the moment “love…you…” we kind of knew what happened but it was like getting caught up in just being happy – and out it came! Oh well, ain’t no harm done, just a funny story now!! Much love to you!! Donna

    1. OH MY GOSH your story is hysterical!!! Yes those words just come flying out at times, don’t they? When I’m happy to see someone I use endearing words. My Chiropractor was a really good sport and he knew I meant nothing by what I said. Much Love to you too!! 💝

  20. If my mother saw you twice, she had some name for you that wasn’t the one you were given at birth. No explanations ever offered – none seemed to be necessary. I hope you get some warmer weather, so you can go outside and play.

    1. LOL Someone else is running behind besides me. Another commenter pointed out if I lived in the Deep South it would be no biggie calling someone Sweetheart. Yep, good ole’ Southern charm. The weather was getting warmer but now we are supposed to get an ice storm. OMG! Unbelievable! I managed to crawl on the ground yesterday to get New Growth pics and to get bird pictures too from our backyard. From what I saw, I must put up more feeders. Have a great weekend, Dan!! 😎

  23. Great story Miss Twinkletoes … oops! that just came out my keyboard! I thought I’d check this particular Color-ful post b/c it was my birthday – 62 years young! I’ve had a few visits to the Chiro myself – but thankfully not for iron-rod back!

      1. Sounds like a Frank Sinatra song … “I did it MY WAY” – that would be my Mother’s mantra – a feisty German single parent – she passed away at age 90 a few years ago. However, my mantra is hopefully – “I did it God’s Way” – but there’s always a tricky inward battle going on that often ends in doing things My Way. But God is patient with me. And Happy Birthday!

      2. Something else we do have in common, Michael. My Mom was German as well. Not single though later divorced when I was in my 20’s. And I KNOW all about God’s Way, believe you me. I have good intentions to do it His Way but my human nature tends to get in the way at times. Yes, thank goodness God is patient! Thank you on the Happy Birthday. I still am having trouble wrapping my head around how old I am. I remember looking at my Mom when she was about 30 and I thought to myself not me, I’ll never get that old. Now look at me! LOL 😉
