⭐⭐⭐ Be Alert Girlfriends!  Care more about your health than your doctor... pay attention!  I thought I was paying attention. But, not really. I certainly wasn't eating as healthy as I thought. Walking … walking … walking... Yes!  
It wasn't enough. Last year I started having UTI's than last summer I kept getting them frequently. My fatigue had fatigue. 
I didn't have a clue.
I want my family, friends, strangers that will be friends, to pay attention. 
Don't get blindsided. I love you and I care for you 💛💛💛
God promised me miracles but, they may be for others... I'm good with that. I'm 69 years old and I want others to not make my mistakes. I've had my cancer a long time. I didn't know that.
Now my mission is to be the care giver … your care giver 💛 
As now I have early onset dementia along with the cancer and God has given me an exciting mission …… It's a bright and shiny day ⭐⭐⭐
As always, hugs xoxoxo

Mom's Books (Donna Bell art instruction books) are back in our Etsy Shop … www.CranberryStudios.Etsy.com I've made so many decisions to close it down due to my latest illness but, we've had so many wonderful visitors and great comments and interests that I keep waffling... ha. So, because I love it so I'm going to keep going until mom and dad feel that it's too hard a project for me.
💜My newest love  (besides jig-saw puzzle art) is Sparkling "Diamond Art". The perfect hobby. 💜💜💜 Please give us a visit and see my latest creation.  (and yes, I do need a good photographer)
As always, hugs and loves xoxoxo

⭐⭐⭐ "Borrowed Years" ⭐⭐⭐


I had no idea I was living on "Borrowed Years". 
Discovering last fall I had Lymphoma Cancer was unsettling. Then finding out I've had it for 5 to 10 years and it's incurable … Yikes!!!
And now this year after a hard 4 days at the hospital I learn I have early onset dementia … What?? But, I'm a writer … a painter … I have goals and plans!!! I'm only 69 years old.
If I knew I'd been living on "Borrowed Years" I would have:
Ate healthier
Been kinder
Paid off debts
Given loads of stuff away
Been kinder
Paid attention to my OWN health
Walked more every day
Shopped less
Been kinder
Ask more questions of my doctor
Just to name a few...
I'm still trying to get my head around this and I would love some good healthy recipes for brain food … my email is: writeorwrong@hotmail.com or friend me at FB (Cindy Riley)
( I would like to thank the urgent care doctor who pursued the lower back pain I was having & discovered the cancer. You're my hero!)
I always assumed I was walking closely with God … but now, on this new journey I depend on my Lord every moment of the day. And his presence, his peace and joy is huge. It's Amazing.
As always, 
Hugs xoxoxo
