Seasons of Life ......and Life Is Good!

Ever wonder ....about how the seasons affect you?

Ever paid attention to the sights, smells, temperatures, ............that bring something to mind?

I'm consciously doing that this Fall... stopping myself .......thinking a lot more.....especially winter .....and purposely already focusing on things that are true, right, pure ...excellent and worthy of praise.

Who's story am I living for myself?

Is it mine and only mine?

Is it true?

When I look in the mirror..............or in the face of a friend....or relative....what is reflected back?

Do I like what I see?

Watched a movie last night "The Ride"...........a reminder that life does not always seem fair..........but it is up to us to Live It Anyway!

Every year in my life.......more "untruths" are released.  

Every season..... good memories and a positive life experience presents themselves...and I see them....smell them....taste them.....hear them.....touch them....embrace them....and they are mine.

My reality.

Life is good.

My Hump

Midlife ........hump days.........hump years.......guess the question is "which direction am I looking with my thoughts and energy which create?"   Debbie Kesley 

"We must be willing to let go of the life we've  planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us."
 Joseph Campbell 

Stick to What You Know.....

What conditions do I require ..............to feel my worthiness?

Whose approval do I need......to feel my worthiness?

Lots of contemplation on the concept of "unconditional love' ..... how I give it, how I choose to receive it.

When it is all said and done ...............my human side and my spiritual side are sometimes at conflicting ends.

Sometimes.......life seems unfair.

Period.

At those times it is when we have a choice .....a choice to choose where we put our focus.

Ever tried to explain "crazy" before? 

Ever attempted to take situations that are so "f*cked up" that you are damned if you do and damned if you don't?

Well.......those are the times I think that it is best to treat the situation like a bomb threat.

Call in the Higher Powers ...........and walk away.

Leave it to the professionals.

Stick to what you know and what you have control over.

Your self!

Have control over yourself.

Who , what , where, when and why do I want to be myself?

and..........

What conditions do I require ..............to feel my worthiness?

Whose approval do I need......to feel my worthiness?

Then move along and get happy!

Breathing Again

Honestly........probably this last year in my life has brought all of the below.

I'm coming out of a season of great emotional loss and like the little green peas in my garden , who inch by inch are continuing their journey upwards toward the light....and producing all the fruit within their ability to produce.........

I feel the 'shift' within me from death to life.............
from mourning to dancing ...............

Like being under water...disoriented.....and with that first gulp of air when the lungs breathe in the oxygen from the small amount of space that distinguishes drowning from swimming naked, newborn, into the calm waters of life.................


I'm alive..........I'm breathing........I'm swimming............I feel again...........and it is good.

Ecclesiastes 3
1There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
