Shower Me With Blessings...

Sending love and healing energy to all that I love and love me..  May today be a special day in every way...  Off to see my two grandchildren....

A perfect day..

It is probably always a perfect day whe you get to do only what you like.  1st to Starbucks, then to Lowes for a few plants.  Work in the flower beds all morning getting rid of those pesky weeds. Lunch and rest then back to planting.  Looks good for now.


Whenever you are conscious of the breath, you are absolutely present. You may also notice that you cannot think and be aware of your breathing.  Conscious breathing stops your mind... Eckhart Tolle

IN ANY SITUATION

And whatever you do, your state of consciousnessis the primary factor; the situation and what you do is secondary.. All truly successful action comes out of that field of alert attention; rather than from ego, conditioned unconscious thinking. Eckhart Tolle

Instead of Monday it is Now day!

Today was a very good day. Good news from the dentist regarding my husbands tmj... We will see how this plays out but for now he is much relieved. As for me it was also a very good day. Out to lunch and then play time in my art room. Made some very nice background papers for my journals. I think I did succeed today in being in the now. Funny how some days it is easier than others. My Dad continues to hang onto life. How he does it I don't know. He just can't seem to let go. Even tho he is totally bedridden and all that goes with it he still hangs on and thinks he will get better. As for me I hope whsn I am at that point I will surrender to death. BE STILL AND KNOW..

Food for thought..

As I watch the day unfold I am drawn to the patterns of my life which are seemingly the same. How do we change this perception? Is it only a perception? Eckert Tolly says "The only thing that matters is this: Can I

sense my essential beingness, the I am, in the background at all times.

Burrr.,.

This morning we woke up to chilly weather...Good coffee drinking time.. My view out the window this morning looks upon a bright blue sky with wispy white clouds drifting way up high. Bright red cardinal eating his breakfast of seeds at the feeder. Yellow leaves from the mulberry tree slowly drift to the ground joining the oak leaves already there. Mr. Woodpecker has quickly stopped in for a seed or two and off he goes. One lonley dove sits patiently in a limb awaiting his turn. Now we have a blue jay, momma cardinal, and two fighting doves. All wanting to be first.. That seems to be what a lot of people want, to always be first instead of stepping back and realizing we will all get there when we are supposed to.
Be Here Now!

ITS A GOOD DAY TO START A BLOG... FRIDAY THE 13th

New computer... New blog...  We will see how this goes...  Jane Powell is my inspiration.  She is always so upbeat and always has great ideas for getting started on your creative journal..  Can't wait until I get back to Saluda for a class or two.

Going for lunch at Captain Haram's in Sebastian with my hubby Larry, and my sister Carol  and brother-in-law C.E.    Hope the weather continues to be good so we can dine outside... 

Quote for the day:  
Looking back you realize that a very special person passed briefly through your life- and it was you. It is not too late to find that person again.
