Sunday

The best timing is when you notice — when you notice something, it is God sending you a message. Act right away so you don’t miss good timing.

PL2022

Yesterday I found myself in a state of “what is going on”… everything I started doing, seemed to be “”oh no!” the festival I wanted to attend didn’t happen… I tried to find my own way there, but the directions I got were not accurate, .. the directions came from an American source, and the highway number I was given was incorrect.. I knew I should be merging to the left, but the hwy number they were giving me was wrong, that highway was to the right.. at that exact moment of trying to merge in five lanes of traffic three going in one direction and two in another, my phone began ringing with a LD call.

Needless to say.. I ended up.. getting off the highway so that I could safely determine which way was which. By the time I found a safe place to pull over… I had decided.. enough .. was enough..

I have wanted to go to this festival for several years now.. it is big, huge event (a yarn, roving, wool, etc. outdoor event that is one of the best ever!!!) I had waited for my friend to give me the co-ordinates, I guessed finally after waiting for days for the info. that it wasn’t going to arrive.. that is why I turned to google maps. SIGH….

The disappointment will pass. Even the cat felt the moment with me.

8-8

Today is the 8th day of the 8 th. month,

An astrological and numerological alignment symbolizing infinite abundance power, and new beginnings. (Lion’s Gate Portal)

It is now 8 a.m. on the 8th day of the 8th month. In Numerology 888 .. infinity symbol..dates like August 8th. compound this energy of balance, success and infinite potential.

In Biblical symbolism 8 represents a fresh start, resurrection and new beginnings.

So………………. I’m thinking……………… this is going to be a great day!

dance

I attended a “show” last night where there was music that had me bouncing in my seat,,. I watched the dancers, and began thinking of all the days/nights where dancing was a part of my life 7 days a week. It was years ago, and the memory is still vivid… yet… sadly … I live a life now where there is no nitely stage show, no performance to prepare for, no instruments being tuned, songs being rehearsed, an audience to be won over. Those days are long gone.

Memories. we all have them.

What I was reminded of .. was how important it is to keep “activity” in one’s life. Doesn’t have to be going to a gym, joining a class, or trying to keep up with the newest and latest trends. Simple stretches during the day, hand and finger exercises.. When we are younger, we seem to always be on the go. As we “age” /”mature” our life circumstances and obligations change, and slowly we glide into an “age” where there is less “activity”, more sitting, more drinking/eating and sometimes, less social interaction.

PL Precept # 19 Begin once you perceive

This morning I am pondering…. what it was about last night’s “ah ha” moment that has stuck in my craw. I think one thought is … I have to start listening to more of the music that gets me “moving” my body is “rusty” it needs “oiling” – moving the joints .. stretching the limbs.. swaying and balancing while in motion… when I left, just as I was leaving Una (the DJ) spun a song that had me wanting more…

Come on.. give it a try… do a chair dance, take a moment and listen.. turn up the music and just D A N C E

Today

Today and everyday – Believe in yourSelf.

When you look in a mirror.. take a good look at the “person” looking back at you. A few times now I’ve not really recognized the woman who gives me a startled look, when I glance her in passing by the bathroom mirror that I can’t ignore.

From a closet size bathroom (in my previous home) to the ballroom size one I have now… it has been an adjustment. I think that in the past, I seldom if ever really looked at or in a mirror unless I wanted to check something…ie. my hair before leaving the house…. even then, it has not been a priority.

My sister and I have had belly laugh chuckles.. because we’ve ( I won’t say which of us) has arrived at a choir practice to have a choir mate quietly give us a whisper… )

Yesterday I woke to a sound of continuous knocking on my door, I was horrified to find out that it was after nine, I am usually up and out of the door by 7:00-7:30 ………. do you know what I did? Something I’ve never done ..ever. I answered the door and promptly went back to bed. AND … I gave myself permission to stay in and not go out at all .. all day!!!! in fact, except to get up to eat and check my messages.. I spent most of the day.. “in bed”. Dearest friends .. that was a first…. not because I didn’t feel well, or ached anywhere, no.. I simply wanted to sleep.. so I did. Wow.. is this a sign of “maturity”…

Can it be true.. I actually had a day of doing “nothing” except what I felt like doing…….Wow.. double wowzoooooh earth shattering isn’t it.

Use dissatisfaction and complaints as a springboard to improvement

If you only complain about something, nothing will get better. Look for shortcomings in your thinking and come up with creative solutions to your problems.

PL2016

Finding gratitude – connect to the moment. Give voice to your needs, soak in life’s little gifts… we live in a society that obsesses over physical appearance and fitness… it is essential to confront the self critic that lives within us all.

Experience the joy of change

It is truly amazing when you look back at yourself this year compared to last year, or today, compared to yesterday, and realize who much you have improved or changed.
