I give you a nut

dropping in to say HELLO

Good afternoon everyone. Tomorrow service will be at 10: a.m. watch for the church e-mail advising you when and how to sign on.

new beginning – fresh young sprouts taken at the church this morning.
We will all get through this.. one moment at a time.

Don’t give up

avatars in Second Life

Don’t give up! Stick with it, as many times as it takes. Sometimes you want to just throw in the towel and say, “I give up” but that’s the time for you to dig deep and push through. Your sincere effort will invite a good outcome.

Listening is not the same as hearing. You can hear something and tho’ you hear it, it is only sounds.. You are not LISTENING. Listening involves not only audio but movement. When someone listens, they are focused on the words, pauses and spaces. They have gone beyond hearing.

I am in the process of learning to listen more and talk less. OK. admits that works only some time…..but truly, we do need to listen to one another more. Learn not to talk at... but rather speak or try to express clearly to another what our intent is.

example… if I want someone to please me.. I first have to know what it is that pleases me.

Communicate today, include a smile. they work wonders.

what is real?

Good Relationships begin by greeting each other. Acts of respect and courtesy are reflections of how much we value others. Make it a point to be the first to greet your family, people at work and around the neighborhood.

Be aware of the joys in life. Feel each moment, let the moment carry you away. Fear not the unknown, believe in your heart that each moment is a blessing. Trust, believe, have faith..the Universe is a wonderful place.

Live to be happy.

emotion

Emotions, a vast array of feelings, that come and go endlessly in the various corners of our minds. Some are overwhelming, some very specific, and others, specific to a moment in time, place or person .. a memory, a silent tear, the warmth of a smile, a love shared.

Today with social distancing, many are experiencing a tremendous overload of emotions that come unsuspectingly to the forefront of our days/nights. Not so easy now to just push aside by picking a distraction to occupy the mind till the moment passes.

in flight

The other day I had parked the car.. gotten out.. wanted to stretch my legs. People are not out and about. I had the empty road pretty much to myself. I was enjoying the moment when I was pulled from my daydreaming by the sound of birds on a mission.

There was no stopping them, they had clear blue skies, the temperature was mild and filled with a promise of a new season.. Babe they were flying high, and loving it. I realized how lucky I was to be out there in the fresh air,the warm sun lazily teasing me out of my jacket… Living life is a beautiful awesome feeling. Do not squander your days/nights…

No one can take away the joy you get from putting your whole heart into something. The joy you feel when you’ve put your all into something is yours and yours alone. Nobody can take that away from you.

faces

Stoic faces, each face different,

each set of eyes

telling a different story

caught between two energies

each side tells a different story

where they meet, a lot is gathered

the degree of togetherness is

different every inch of the way

remnants of the past, etch deep scars

some smooth, others are jagged from

constant ups and downs. ragged,

chipped. and. splintered.

I like it.

someone wrote me a poem once

said I was a poem..

this might be me

if I was a poem

Not meant to make sense

There will always be a way. If you persist and be creative without giving up, you will find solutions that you had not considered before.

changes

remnants of the past
no matter how magnificent in their time
sometimes, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication
to restore and begin again
what was…. will never be what it was before
it may look the same, but it has undergone so many changes,
it can be deceiving, it is now, functioning and performing in NOW

Enjoy the changes in your life. Things around you are constantly changing with the ties. Take on the challenging and new experiences as materials for self expression.
