Gratefulness
This too shall pass.
Dance đ in mind, body and Spirit!
The amazing simplicity of that âone square foot of groundâ in this moment. There is nothing else. There was/is nothing more. It is everything. That breath of air. That sound of silence. That love of your life so profound. Amazes me. Amazes you.
I am listening to my inner voice for guidance to help me understand the lessons for me in experiencing loneliness. Where is the love in me to rebound and what happened to my love of the solitude? Listening more fully will hopefully allow me to weather this depression of late and have my thoughts move on to love, and laughter and joy.
Spreading my wings to face the crossroads I am at in my life. Brave enough to say what I want in my life, what it is I am loving and setting my commitment towards that and shutting off all the ânaysayerâ thoughts.
My child-like playfulness exudes when I put on rock ân roll music and dance with my kitty cat. She runs to me as soon as she hears the music, jumps high on one chair getting ready to participate prancing around as I dance to my heartâs content. Goodness knows, if anyone were looking in on this (should that ever happen), would probably think Iâm crazy. Maybe I am, yet I am preciously joyful in that moment, for sure.
I received an email from a friend with some keen observations about me. It was, at first, a difficult message to read and receive. And then I realized he was extending love to me by being honest and forthright about some behavior (once I was receptive to it) I needed to change. I took it to heart and knew why I wasnât being my true self. I was imbibing too much. I have stopped doing that and I read his email every day to remind me of that and to embrace my true loving and compassionate self...

My own biological motherââs story. She transitioned very young in life at 45 years of age from cancer leaving four children and a husband in the immediate family and oh, so many more. What I treasure about her is that while on this earth she shared her amazing musical talent and inspired others to recognize their own. She had an abiding faith in humanity and God and was fun-living as well. I miss her to this day. I was seven. I can still hear her playing piano and singing.
Dawn. I love the silence juxtaposed against the illuminating sky.
Judgment
Focused on being loving to everyone who crosses my path and grateful to share a part of this journey with them no matter how extended or brief. Lovingly grateful for the connectedness.
Compassion.
Being of good health, I would sing. I would dance. I would swim through cool spring waters. I would love abundantly.
Memories of a loving marital relationship. I stay as much in the present moment, but I have to admit I miss intimacy and I wonder now that my husband has been gone two years, if I will ever have a fulfilling loving relationship again. Life is too short to live in the past.
A shift in perspective to one of gratitude will help me divert my attention from my pain from oral surgery.
Mine too is the sense of touch. It is truly a gift for me as well. Thank you for your beautiful âshareâ.
Beautiful!
Michele: I love that EWF song, September. I am going to listen to it right now and be grateful for the commencement of Fall amongst many, many other gratitudes.
It took me quite awhile to move from grief to gratitude. I wish I was more practical really. I am actually quite a romantic. My practice is to put out my relational intentions to the Universe. I feel strongly that my message has been received and so I remain positive. I get a good laugh occasionally that I love men too much not to have something wonderful ensue â one soulmate will be more than sufficient. Blessings to you.
Arleen. Yes so true. I am in the dental office as I write this.
Kevin: So wisely stated and expressed. Thank you for your insightful messsge.
