One With Tuna
hearing the grinding
smelling the pungent juices
one must serve the king
All Eyes on You
thinking you’re alone
try again–a thing’s not missed
soon you’ll hear a hiss
Amuse Me
see that piece of yarn
fetch it human just right now
I don’t have all day

It’s that time again to reflect on all things one is grateful for and let’s go to it!
1. Exercise – I am grateful that I was able to exercise by walking outside this week. It is BEAUTIFUL out there and I won’t be long for it to be BOO-TI-FUL for Halloween.
2. Recipes – On Everybody Loves Raymond there is this one episode where Debra makes Ray some Beef Braciole – well I have never had such and decided to go to Mr. Google and ask for the recipe. It is now printed and I have all the ingredients for when daughter comes next weekend. I try to save special things like that for when she comes. Here is the RECIPE I love that I can go online and find just about everything in recipes.
3. Halloween fun! I saw this post and had to share. It’s fun edible Halloween party food. HERE
4. One year, at my church, we had a Halloween party and passed around food you could not see and you had to guess what it was. One was frozen grapes and they called them eyeballs. I am thankful for these kinds of goofy fun things and not taking everything so serious.
5. Chili Cook Off and Trunk or Treat for my daughter. She is at her church tonight participating in both. Doesn’t that sounds like fun?!
6. Zoodles – Notice a food theme here? I made these delicious zoodles with some garlic along with meatballs n sauce for supper. I am grateful to be able to have these kinds of things to help me keep my weight down and my happy stat up.
7. I Write Her Challenge was especially a hoot this week. Here is my story LINK: Palomino Ponderings
8. Blog Group – I belong to a local group called Raleigh NC Bloggers and we get together in actual person and work on our blogs. It is so much fun to connect with others in person. We met last Saturday and got a lot accomplished and we are going to have someone talk to us about E-Books soon!
9. NANOWRIMO is coming in November. I have my title all set and started thinking about the layout. Right now it’s still a working title and I will share more about that in November. Gotta keep you in suspense. Here is a link to NANOWRIMO Anybody else going to join?
10. And lastly but not leastly is this place set for you at the Table of Gratitude where you can have a cuppa with us and share your happys. Hope you will come on in.
Here’s the link so whatcha waiting for? Hop to it!!

Percy Wonders About Skating Through Life
Perhaps it will work
Percy thought he would skate by
hooves had other thoughts
Would They Know His Sneaks
Sneaking through the barn
Percy wondered if they’d see
he was sliding by
Passing for A Fido
Percy thought he could
simply pass for Fido’s spots
skating out home free

There you have it! This is my attempt to respond to the ekphrastic challenge for this week’s “IWH Haiku/Senryu Challenge”

As part of my effort to lose weight and regain some strength, and overall mental health, I started taking yoga classes via Meetup groups. Fortunately, for me and so many others who have handi-capable body challenges, there are classes to make adaptable provisions. Before knee surgery, I took part in adaptable yoga classes until I felt like I could practice at home, returning whenever I needed to tweak my movements. Knowing that knee surgery would affect my abilities to do mat work I started taking chair yoga classes. Although I took a silly break, I am back at it again.
Yoga helps in several areas, much of which affects my health. As an insomniac from childhood, who NEVER took a nap, yoga helps me to relax which also helps with focus, another long life issue. After years of Yo-Yo dieting, my metabolism has taken a beating and yoga helps get that back on track. Stronger muscles also help with weight loss.
Aging brings with it a chance of bone loss and loss of flexibility. Yoga helps with both. In the long run, this also serves to protect from injury. A long time ago a co-worker asked me why I took yoga classes and I told her it was so I could jump in my pants both legs at a time. Disclaimer: this is not possible, so don’t try this at home. Digestive issues have also been an issue, but yoga helps with this. It also helps not to drink with a straw (free non-yoga tip for tummy issues-and another post).
If you have groups such as Meetup, local recreation groups, gyms, or school programs, it helps to attend so you can get an idea about form and technique. Since this is not available everywhere, I highly recommend checking online for videos. I use YouTube videos for chair yoga. Just go there and search and you will find several videos. Test them out and find what works for you. I have used a variety because I get bored easily with exercise. Plus, a variety helps to focus on different areas of the body.

An Acrostic
Letting go of all future concerns, it was difficult for Edward.
Edward had a heritage of hard-working family who instilled a work ethic.
Gently, Elaine helped Edward to his favorite resting chair so he could enjoy the sunbeams.
Even with plenty of love in place, supporting his every need, Edward felt sad.
Needing the help of others, Edward felt ashamed.
Determined to be the legend who wins, Edward set forth a plan.
