SOMETHING


SOMETHING is such a wonderful vague word. It could mean a thousand different things (another vague word) depending on the context. . . . SOMETHING is, SOMETHING was, SOMETHING will be. . .  Whoever knows? It reminds me of a mystery word that sets us buzzing.

I hadn’t thought much about that word SOMETHING until I saw a most uplifting movie called “Christopher Robin”. Yes, of the Winnie the Pooh gang. It was sheer delight! Christopher Robin has grown up, with a wife and daughter, working for a sinking luggage company. Through misadventures he connects again with the ‘friends’ of old in the hundred acre wood. The ‘friends’ are most adorable, like stuffed animals that move and talk.  A real treasure!
Winnie the Pooh has many wonderful sayings, one of which is :

Doing NOTHING often leads to
The very best of SOMETHING.


Now isn’t that just like him? So simple, so clever, so TRUE!
I love this little guy and all his friends who are so unique, sincere, authentic and LOVEABLE. They teach me a lot about RELATIONSHIPS and facing all FEARS  and UNCERTAINTIES.  They totally SUPPORT each other and adore and honor Christopher Robin, hanging on his every word. You can see and feel how happy they are to see him again.

I’m also reminded of the movie “Sound of Music” when Julie Andrews sings, (words to the effect) SOMETHING comes from NOTHING. . . Another favorite.

Back to SOMETHING . . . how many times have you said, ‘I wish there was SOMETHING to do? Surely there is SOMETHING we can do about . . .? Maybe we can find SOMETHING . . . It is so vague and yet we all know what it means.

Most of the time I have run around in circles trying to figure out SOMETHING to solve my dilemma or make me feel like I’ve accomplished SOMETHING. It can be crazy making. More and more I do NOTHING, while sitting quietly and ‘letting the dust settle’ before I jump up and proceed. It works ever so much better, more efficient, saves time and effort, and becomes this calm sea of certainty.
I am ever so grateful for this insight. Just think it was from a sweet little bear, and some deep reading I’ve done. Such a relief. Mind you, it is not easy, not for one who has thought I could fix ‘it ‘.

If there is SOMETHING  I have learned it is the pleasure and the relief of watching clouds go by and knowing I don’t have to do a thing about it. When I can see and do SOMETHING about SOMETHING, that is good too, but when I can’t. . . I simply WAIT and it always comes to me. Pooh said SOMETHING about this too. Such wise words and thoughts from a dear little bear.

It’s good to watch your SOMETHINGS and your NOTHINGS and learn to tell them apart. They are two sides of the same coin, really, we just have to discern which is which!


I always get to where
I am going by walking away
from where I have been.

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

SUNSET ENDINGS GREETINGS EVERYONE! It feels like an age since I wrote my blog, two weeks, to be exact! I could not get on the internet, finally woke up and called ATT & got new password, who knew? I did write a blog last week. It was PRESENTS. When we give PRESENTS, give our PRESENCE too. I have been in a quiet mood during the holidays, thinking about this year, many other things. NOTICING how everything CHANGES new experiences, LETTING GO of old DESIRES, ATTITUDES, HABITS and THINGS. My, but it does feel good. I’m very AWARE how different my life is here at the VILLAGE. Life is much easier without the responsibilities I had before ( and I wasn’t even working)! So many services here to make all our lives easier and more pleasant.   I have let go of are my herb garden. After hurting my leg last October, I just lost the interest, besides the dreadful heat. It was easy, actually, to LET IT GO. I was surprised. It shows me that when something is over it is over!
