WREN


BALANCING


Look at this little darling!! The WREN, probably the one that sings outside my bedroom window! She is as CONSISTENT as they come! I imagine she's the very same one that comes every year to serenade me so sweetly. She's like a loyal puppy dog! Oh to be that BALANCED!

I am writing this in an attempt to shift my consciousness to something more creative and uplifting than from thoughts and feelings I have had the last few days. There is nothing really wrong. . . just a slippage in PERSPECTIVE. It is not serious but it does involve CHANGE that is uncomfortable. I can be the first to cheer for change but when it is acute, it hurts a bit because it means being vulnerable . . .

At least this time I know what is going on and I can meet it head on! That is what comes of being DETERMINED not to give in to the temptation of defeat! I know how to become very still, listen to music, write, breathe, quiet things, to calm myself down. Even in the midst of my BEFUDDLEMENT, I know what is going on and it will soon be resolved because I'm dealing with it, like I said, head on.

This is PRECISELY what LIFE is! A continual  BALANCING act . . .  If I can just remember that, I'd be 'BALANCING' more often, perhaps. Just to be AWARE of 'where I am' is the most important facet of this little 'diamond'! It truly is a JEWEL because it is a gift, a barometer to indicate my 'whereabouts".


A gift like this is a TOOL 

We can use for virtually everything.

 It guides us all like a COMPASS.


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
