Going for It

I think maybe I have gotten out of my mopey denial and acceptance of limitations mode.

Freak it I am not going down without a fight – well I still fall down if I close my eyes, misstep, etc. but that is not what I mean.

Hey there is stuff I can do if I just get off my arse and give it a try. So what if I look like a dork?

I have been forced to give up many things due to the MS Monster the ever so willing take take taker. I can not launch my boat, I can not ride motorcycles anymore, hike up a mountain – yeah in four days maybe! But you know what I am determined that I am gonna ride my mountain bike again.

My poor mountain bike has been hanging since 2004 🙁 . I mentioned before that I had gotten it down and started to wipe it off – gosh who knew how many fuzz bunny type things and dust would accumulate so fast – I mean it was only up there four 5 years – go figure! Unlike my dulcimer he does have a name well, actually more than one. Thor, Red, and M$%^F#^’r when he cause me to fall boom or crash – yah never my fault!

Anyway as as become a regular around this blogs digs – the video:


Week Two Doxolgy and Name the Dulcimer

First off I would like to encourage you all to stop by Cranky’s digs at Musings of a Cranky Caregiver and perhaps share some love and caring as she and Skip grieve the loss of their beloved Sally.

Nothing get my tears flowing more than the pain I know they are going through. And then I start tearing up thinking about the fur family members we have had to say goodbye to.

There is no good sequay into todays post so I will just move on.

So far we have have only three name suggestions for the Blue Lion dulcimer pictured here: Ouisie (Ouiser), Hazel and Maggie.

Now I realize this is not a burning issue of importance but . … so far I am leaning toward Ouiser with Maggie a close second. Since there are only three choices here – come on folks chime in with suggestions!!

I am sticking to my goals that I have set out for this year. Some are to go to every PE class (unless ill), play my dulcimer, ride my mountain bike, and remember to eat LOL LOL who would think you would forget to eat!

As promised the video of week two documenting my attempts at learning to play the Doxology on my unnamed dulcimer is here:
