INTERIM


You know what it is like when you are in ‘between acts’ . . .? An INTERIM, an intermission as it were? That’s where I am at the present moment. I am on the way to recovering from pneumonia, which is on it’s way out but left with no energy or ambition to do anything. I guess it is part of the ‘package’.

What I am doing is realizing how much I have learned and absorbed these last 10 days, which is heart warming. I know that this will pass. It is IMPERMANENT. It is an OPPORTUNITY to LISTEN to my body and my heart and be STILL.  I’m doing what is absolutely necessary and no more. I had such a urge to write this morning and share with you all. I CLEARLY see the value in PRACTICING these ideals and truths so that when I really need them I have them tucked away inside to use.

You have been a saving grace for me in allowing me to send my blogs to you, a friendly ‘ear’ and I realize, once again, how valuable that is to me, and I hope for you. It is a meaningful way for me to express myself and feel safe. I need to express myself or I’ll burst, I feel. Besides it is a BLESSING to be able to ‘call forth’ ideals I have been trying lo these many years to cultivate.

I am committed to take one day at a time and do what I can each day. No one is checking on me to see what I have accomplished. It felt so good to cancel appointments and just BE. The worst thing I (or anyone) can do is pressure myself into a ‘should’. Ahhh. . .

This feels good to write this and get more grounded. I offer this to all who feel similar (right now) as a way of relaxing into what is going on. I am looking forward to when the energy comes back step by step. I’ll do my best to be PATIENT.


ONE DAY AT A TIME
MINDING WHAT IS GOING ON
ACT ACCORDINGLY



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...
