ANNIVERSARIES


There are many, many different occasions in which we celebrate ANNIVERSARIES. The most frequent and regular occasions are birthdays, weddings, graduations, moving from place to place or even job to jobs. There can even be occasions when baby losing her first tooth, my guinea pig died, I got my first puppy . . . who knows how many ways of celebrating festive moments. It is a time for each of us to remember some significant, meaningful event that brings back memories of ACCOMPLISHMENT.

I will celebrate my move to the Village on November 5 (2017). It hardly seems possible that it is a year ago that my family, friends and I gathered my belongings and moved into my apartment. I was so excited and satisfied with the new abode in every way and I still am.

ANNIVERSARIES are milestones that should be celebrated because of all the work and effort that we put forth to make something significant happen. It is not to be taken lightly. Many events, good feelings, disappointments and triumphs take place in the year(s)that follow the main event. We should not take any of them for granted. 

We should pay particular ATTENTION to ANNIVERSARIES that take place in the lives of children. All the celebrations and accolades that are remembered build a sense of confidence, achievement and respect for a job well done. This means even if the outcome isn’t exactly the way we would have wanted it. It is still an ACCOMPLISHMENT that has meaning.

Whatever means something special to someone about anything, should be a reason for celebration of an event. Sometimes the events are painful and brimming with loss and misfortune, such as a war or an accident. These occasions deserve our focused attention and recognition. When those ANNIVERSARIES come around again, we usually can remember what we were doing and where we were when they occurred. This means something and is a tribute to all of us for being a part of a disaster, even if it doesn’t (seemingly) affect us directly. It still affects us somewhat and deserves our respect.

Wherever we are or whatever we are doing, let us show our unity and closeness by celebrating our ANNIVERSARIES. They are to be cherished and honored as a part of our humanity, because EVERYBODY has ANNIVERSARIES TO CELEBRATE.

PLEASURES BLEEDING HEART When I look around the VILLAGE, I find more and more scenes, activities, support and people that give me PLEASURE. It’s so easy for me to experience new aspects of my life at the Village. So much is available here and I’m open to more adventures everyday. There are several activities I want to try. One PLEASURE I have done is watercolor painting and I intend to do more of that. The activities I enjoy every week are exercise classes, swimming, gardening, meeting new people, writing my blog, teaching classes, my garden and generally enjoying each day to see what comes up. Every night when I get into bed at night I give thanks for a most rewarding and surprising day!  Remember, you can rotate activities, or stagger them and you can rest whenever you want to! I love this new attitude I have adopted because I no longer fret and plan each day to the fullest. I derive much more satisfaction from being free and spontaneous a great deal of the time.

Easter Lily RISING We all know the feeling of RISING; An uplift, an awakening, an experience of   a breakthrough and the opening of the heart. Even thinking about the sun RISING can be an uplift. It is also the Phoenix RISING out of the ashes. That is such a powerful image for me. I have just experienced a RISING, a huge avalanche of experiences that have been profound. My daughter and her fiancé visited me that was wonderful. It was a sort of mission that we were all on that was truly amazing.   I also sold my car to a very lovely woman that appreciates it and it was so effortless! As I was about to leave an appointment Friday, the power went out from the storm. I could not access the Village to come get me, nor Uber. I met a woman who was so wonderfully friendly and kind and offered me a ride back to the Village. I was stunned. We talked like we had known each other for years. We had lunch and have become friends. Again effortless. Somewhere in the mix, I had

DELIGHT This is one of my favorite words! The sight of it, the sound of it and the meaning of DELIGHT . . . DELIGHTS ME. I begin my day by opening my blinds and looking out to the trees and the lake, every morning! Then I see the ducks waddling about and the magnificent egret(s) prancing around. Lately I’ve watched the Whistling ducks, I saw a mama, daddy and 3, yes 3 tiny babies running then swimming together! Such a DELIGHT! More and more I am enamored with NATURE. I can always fine something that makes me NOTICE something that is present that perhaps I never NOTICED before. Sometimes it is as simple as a limb on an old oak tree, or the markings on the Muscovy ducks. A DELIGHT is more than just in Nature. I have recently had a few conversations with people that were completely DELIGHTFUL! It makes me feel so uplifted and grateful to know them and share in some special conversations. It stays with me for a long time. The key for me is to listen to them
