ADJUSTMENTS


ADJUSTMENTS are the name of the game in LIFE! No matter what the occasion, there seems to always be an ADJUSTMENT of some kind to be made. This does not have to be a huge ADJUSTMENT, like tearing down a wall to replace it with a window, or pruning or repotting houseplants so they have room to absorb water and new soil. Another word for ADJUSTING is tweaking something, like turning a flower plant 1/4/turn.

A basic reason for ADJUSTING anything is ‘CHANGING something that does not work well or serve us in a way it once did’. That encompasses a whole raft of different criteria, anywhere from a living condition, including the building itself or the people who live there. I have found it to be much more satisfactory to ‘move’ or change something that doesn’t work.

However, if we can’t move or re-do some area of our life, then we can learn to ADJUST to it. First of all, I feel it takes a period of LETTING GO of the upset, disappointment, or hurt that is usually located in our gut or throat. It may take a few minutes, days even weeks to settle into an OPENING for the new, the creative and the ingenuity to sally forth. If that is our INTENTION, it will most assuredly manifest itself.

I am amazed at how quickly and easily I have ADJUSTED to moving and ADJUSTING to living at the Village! It surprises me that the move has been so easy to ADJUST to. There are a few things that are so minor they almost don’t count. I find myself being able to work around them. I ‘clean ‘something. The other day I rearranged some boxes in my closet. It felt great to do that since it was ‘bugging’ me for months. I also can putter with my plants, always fun.

I’m speaking completely from my own experience about ADJUSTING, (and ‘tweaking’) about some areas. I’m beginning to miss not having my car.  I didn’t drive it for two months before selling it. I sold it two weeks ago and suddenly, I miss her and think about places I could go ‘if I only had a car’. Nothing is urgent since I have been taken places I want to go by a couple of friends, which I feel is most generous. Of course there is always the shuttle for necessities, as well.

So after I ADJUST to my new situation, The way things are settle down and realize I am most fortunate to have what I have. I’m sure there are people who I could call on if needed. I somehow feel reluctant to ask for help in this area. I need to ADJUST to ‘asking’ because that usually is not a problem for me.

So the more time passes and the more opportunity presents itself I will ADJUST to whatever is needed. I have become even more organized in my ‘list making’ and shall continue to watch my ATTITUDE and BEHAVIOR in the future.


I find myself ADJUSTING to
 Comfortable and uncomfortable
Situations with KINDNESS.


BLESSINGS

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 ti...

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 mi...

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 o...
