Night ruminations
Wreak devastation
Dark contemplations
Breed desolation.


(After having been diagnosed with cancer, then being forced to wait for over a month for surgery, then another 10 days before finding out exactly what we're dealing with (staging, prognosis, etc) - I find this waiting intolerable at times for my fertile imagination!! It's a constant challenge to stay positive and busy. I've baked cookies, cleaned the house, tried reading, meditation, prayer, writing letters, starting Christmas preparations - still, these dark ruminations sneak in and devastate my peace of mind, esp late at night when I can't sleep because of pain and discomfort.)
