Hey how is it going?
how you doing my friend
its been awhile
I got to thinking the other day
of the times we had back when
we had time to play
remember those lazy days
at the lake,
we had so much fun didn’t we
our world was so full of adventure
the discoveries were amazing
What happened to the fairgrounds
and all the dreams we had
how is the family, especially your Dad
remember how he used to joke around with us
does your Mom still makes those awesome pies
Those early morning
boat rides, especially
if we got to take the canoe
how well I remember the
calm and the thrill of it all
gosh, was it really so very long ago!
I know we can’t go back, the sands of time are slowly shifting. R.I.P. my friend, say hello to family and friends you meet on your new journey. I’ll see you soon, meanwhile know you are forever in my heart.
Live today
make it count

negotiating feelings
But…… When you suddenly have an Ahhh moment, when your gut feeling is so loud you can’t ignore it,( it is always a surprise that so many of us do just that). We push the thought, or emotion back into the safe area of our ‘brain”. Trying hard to wish it away. If we have lived long enough to build walls around our “hearts” we go into protective mode.
This picture I use as an example ….. the moment can be beautiful, fresh and alive, but we see only the stairs that we will have to climb to truly enjoy the moment/view. Past memories float to the frontal section of our brain. We flounder, we hesitate, and lose our way. The lessons that happen in life, usually keep recurring, there is a reason for that. Each time the Universe puts the challenge on our path, we make wrong choices. If the challenge appears, it is because there is still something to be learned. We still have yet to really learn the lesson.
Our lives our shaped by the way we express ourselves each and everyday. If we go through life not paying attention, living half heartedly, ignoring our intuition, we cloud our vision with illusions. We are missing opportunities to live to our fullest potential. It is important to find one’s own happiness, but it is also wrong to live selfishly so only you are happy. Looking beyond our “selves” towards our friend/partner’s happiness, builds a stronger and healthier relationship. It is a very difficult lesson. One we need to master to achieve world peace.
…. God, help me choose the path that is right for me… Help me understand there is no wrong or right. Help me learn to detach with love . I will surrender to the good of the moment, and get through the discomfort. One step at a time. I will practice acceptance, and believe and trust the magic that acceptance will bring into my life.

Yup, Fall is here
leaves are falling some trees will soon be bare
it is cooler outside, but still the sun shines bright.
I love being outside, anytime, any where.
as long as I have you dear friend in sight.
have I told you lately, how I love having you in my life
gosh, I should tell you every day
why, because not a day goes by
not one single day, where I’m not touched by your love
and enthusiastic acceptance of me, in your life.
Human that I am, self absorbed I get.
patiently you wait, you sit, lie or just rest
always by my side, I feel you there, and know
I always know, with you in my life. I’m never alone.
>>Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life…I will not fear, for you are always close beside me……
my strength renewed, you guide me along the right path….
Like a tree, I stand strong and proud, arms reaching up into the heavens….alleluia, alleluia
The Joy of Expression is in the Process!
Blessings .. always and forever…
