Last week was a monumental week for me in many ways. I was reminded that when I have a conundrum on my mind, what to do or when, I can be CURIOUS about it and not feel like I have to have a SOLUTION for it right this minute. I realize that I don't have to always have the answer to some situation! I have been practicing being CURIOUS about a few things and it is a huge relief! I can let somethings percolate on the back burner for now and just wait for the appropriate moment to proceed.

Considering all the ANXIETY that I, (as well as others I'm sure) have been feeling lately that it is a good and an acceptable feeling because these queezy feelings actually propel us to keep going and /or take the next action that is needed! This is remarkable to me since I have been trying for many years to do quite the opposite!

These I'm sharing with you because I know I'm not alone in these feelings. Sometimes these feelings can be daunting and incomprehensible to navigate. I feel certain it will be another 'tool' I'll implement when needed. I hope it is helpful to any of you that may need it.

it's interesting to watch myself when I experience happiness and satisfaction about my life. I feel settled and often at peace mixed along with excitement and gratitude! I was thrilled with the election results and then from left field, something can happen that throws me off my seat. something that I had no part in but feel like it was 'done' to me and all of us indirectly. Of course I'm speaking of the events of Wednesday and the aftermath of that event. I have had a hard time wrapping my brain around it all and feeling at a loss for the most part.

Here is a perfect example of my not trying to find a SOLUTION myself but to allow events to unfold. I do my part in the process by some mental envisioning and thinking but it can feel futile right now. Still, ANXIETY and all, I will continue to PRACTICE what I know and trust

It is a wake-up call for all of us, I feel, to keep our oar in the boat and not fall into too much upset. This calls for being KIND to ourself and others we encounter and not take anything personally! The whole issue of CONTROL and /or losing it seems to show up for me.

Feelings and opinions arise as automatically as the sun. We each have to deal with these issues in our own way. May we all be blessed with a sound mind and a still heart so that we can move forward in peace.


It is CURIOUS

why so many different

events happen one

upon another.


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 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
