Once upon a time there existed a doc
who had a pet cat and listened to Bach.
This doc was described as, ‘fun, loyal, and lovey,’
therefore she eventually was dubbed the name ‘Puppy.’
In general, this Puppy lived quite a blessed life,
but a life of high pressure and occasional strife.
She loved her profession and for this she was glad,
but certain times events would make her feel sad.
She cared for her patients and strived to make them well,
So when they declined, she’d be down with no one to tell.
In a way, this describes how “Musings” was born–
Because poetry was, in a manner, her way to mourn.
But then little by little came some blogging buddies–
so dear and supportive– for this she felt lucky.
So all you should know that she treasures EACH one of you,
for when reading your blogs…why–she can never be blue!
In short…this is how a doc who thinks she’s a dog
winds up creating…a poetry blog.

What a lovely Post. 🙂 It is a real pleasure getting to know you Phoebe. 🙂
Likewise, for sure! 🙂
Congratulations on an honor well deserved, Phoebe! And before I forget to mention: What a lovely photo of you and Sam!
It’s terrific that you found blogging to help “heal” you from your healing job, and at the same time all of us readers have been healed by your words, art (and yes, those darn cute photos of Sam). Such a wonderful circle of light and love!
And thank you so much for the nomination; I’m very honored and will try to get on it right away (darn carpal tunnel is slowing me down here lately, but slept with a brace last night and feel so much better). I always look forward to reading your posts — keep ’em coming! 🙂
Aww thanks Deb. And take your time…take care of that wrist first. 🙂 Just wanted you to know that you are much appreciated! 🙂
Well, I do so appreciate your kind words and thoughts, Phoebe. I’m enjoying blogging very much, and much of the reason is getting to know wonderful people such as yourself.
Wrist brace worked wonders last night, 🙂
Awww, what a genuine and sweet poem. 😊 It is a pleasure reading your musings. And congratulations on the award.
