Some days…. you wonder if it is all happening… or if you have been transported to another place in time. Nothing seems familiar… nothing is the same… yet… you are pretty sure, you haven’t gone anywhere.
The heat and humidity has been fierce. Don’t dare look in a mirror. Find a shady place to hide away till night comes and it will be time soon enough for another day.
Good or bad, it is your mirror
Sincere expressions invite good results, but insincere expressions can lead to unexpected trouble.

When all else fails… join the chorus line and dance
Pl Precept # 1 Life is Art
When we experience loss – we learn to survive
the sun keeps shining, night follows day
We wake one morning and realize, we’ve outgrown who we used to be.
We choose silence from noise – somewhere in between nothing makes sense – but we are learning
We are no longer who we were – our season is changing
In the solitude of our silence – something new is born.
Love from a place of depth
Life unfolds in its own rhythm
Letting go, means we care enough, trust and have faith in being true to Self. There is great strength in Quiet.

Yesterday with help from the two “boyz” we got a lot done. Paul is an organizer extraordinaire … Steve has the ability to put things together, & make something work, handyman beyond compare. the two have years of experience working together… we got shelves put up, the cat walk, and a zillion other “projects” I can look around and feel a sense of having arrived. In fact, I slept in today till near 7…. me! who has been up and out of the house by 6 most days… was rather taken back when I saw the time.
Letting Go…. is so much harder than one thinks.. but I am working hard at saying, “No, I’ll pass it on!” The trick today will be getting “stuff” into the car to drop off at a “charity”.
It is only natural that you are different from others. Each of us has our own way of thinking and our own individual lifestyle. That’s what makes life interesting.

Friends are treasure, cherish them....
Stop…. take a deep breath…. hold it…. let it out slowly….. did that help.. NNOO! Then do it again… close your eyes this time.. block out the world… now slowly take another deep breath… hold it… and let out a big sigh…. How was that???

Call internet provider… what was working the other day . is not working today. After much back and forth.. “our offices are not open at the moment, but you can go to our internet website .. log in and your problem can be quickly resolved.. supply your e-mail and we will send you a link”
Hmmmm wonder how I can do that when the internet is not working an that is why I’m calling. However talking to a mechanical robot does not get my any further, I am stumped, I go silent. After moments of silence, I hear a human voice. Relieved I explain my situation… the voice tells me to unplug the modem.. I look blankly at the screen and my cell phone.. there are a zillion wires at my feet. “which wire exactly” I ask…
“Do you know where your modem is” asks the disembodied voice. “yes” I replied “I saw the repairman install it in the closet” Then I was given further instructions to go to the box etc… and from there it only got more “challenging” With patience, and trying to find buttons where there were none… the internet is now up and running, but for how long, who knows.
What a way to start one’s day.

Moving is not an easy project. I realize that it all was so much easier when I was younger.(stamina) Going from an house to an apartment has a lot of pluses … there are a few challenges tho’. i.e. when you come home with a full car, you have to get all your packages etc. to your apartment. I’m lucky I found, and was able to rent a lovely space on the ground floor, with 11 ft. ceilings. Still need to get from parking garage to apt.
Still in the middle of boxes that need unpacking, and trying to find items that I know I have .. but don’t know where they are. This morning I needed to go out.. try as I might, I was unable to find a toothbrush in all the “stuff” I looked through. Going back to the house, I was shocked at the mess… AAaaaghhhh.. good thing closing date isn’t for a few weeks…
One step at a time right….

And away we go – another day of moving
Work Happily with good rhythm
If you take on your tasks willingly, you will enjoy the task and you may even be rewarded with a more positive outcome.

Last night as I tried to quiet my mind, my thoughts drifted in and out through the many corners of that gray matter within my skull. I felt like I was shedding skin (a chapter of my life) like a snake…. I felt myself glide through a mist, and ………… ………… in the stillness of the night, I stepped willingly into the abyss.
Find a good balance between your present and past experiences.
Without forgetting your original intent, continue to develop your own path by also relying on your knowledge and experience.

A reminder for me during this move.
Be free of your attachments
If you are obsessed with doing something in only a certain way, it narrows your choices. Keep your options open and be flexible.
