I was inspired today with love in my heart!

I want to share a few of my thoughts. I am not trying to convert anyone to my thoughts-your thoughts are your choice and I respect that. It just occurred to me this is a way to share, in part, where my heart is. I am a human sister with a living soul, and a spiritual creature with all eternity embracing me.
Thank you for going forth in this post
It’s true, I am a happiness hog. I breathe in all the oxygen to regenerate and relax.
I breathe out carbon dioxide, but more importantly I breathe out all my anxiety.
Anxiety changes nothing except takes a toll on this human body-the only place we have to live!

I cannot harbor hate nor discontent, in this life. It tears down and wears down the resources of the human home. My mission is to see that everyone that crosses my path is appreciated, loved, and honored – flaws and all.

Here’s a challenge: Begin a 24 hour period of a $100% positive mind. When the real you hesitates to “accommodate popular thought” – instead, take in a power breath and
exhale with vigor – sharing the now refreshed thoughts and intelligent choices. Think you can do it? Remember when a
negative feeling jabs you-take a breath and realign YOUR thoughts. Take your positive and blow out it from your lips like a kiss, like a mist, like a continuous wave of everlasting power coming to you for just believing things you cannot see, and concepts in the real reality of it all.

Think “LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE” It’s so easy. Just take a chance.

WITHDRAW THE POWER AND GIFTS THAT LAY INNATE WITHIN YOUR SPIRIT. The way of the world is not His way, BECAUSE He ALLOWED us to CHOOSE, if we love Him or not, if we believe in Him or not!

I drop my eyes and my heart because of the way the world is now. Just like lost children, millions of us wander the planet each day wondering the “why” of things, but keeping the our own faith within our hearts and our memory. God has us in His memory.

Millions of us believe only what they see or can prove beyond belief. There are millions of hearts that have a space yearning to be filled with something they can’t conceive (all my thoughts). It was the only freedom God claimed within us. He planted a space for Himself and His Son in all of us, aching to be filled with love and truth.

Elevate your thoughts. Think whom you were fashioned after. Those of YOU who LOVE with spirit, belong to Him, as Free Men. None of us have all the answers, but some have been able to somehow begin to fill that special space within our hearts, to be in touch with our real natures.

Empower yourselves. Tap into the richness of all the the gifts that are untapped as yet, and not even blossoming – at any age, as age is not relevant. Spirit is ageless.

Thanks for joining me. Here is a photo to “COOL” you down. Think of it in your head and make it happen. Tap into the “good stuff”.

I just met the most beautiful elderly woman

As I was putting my groceries in the car an elderly woman drove into the handicapped space next to
me. I turned and she smiled and said, “I just wanted to make sure I gave you enough room.”

“Thank you”, I responded. “I think there isn’t enough polite people on the road these days.”

She agreed and said, “Well, when you get to be my age people just look at you sometimes like you’re trouble!”.

I asked her how old she was if she didn’t mind telling me. “93″ she smiled. I couldn’t believe it.
She certainly didn’t look her age, she didn’t drive like you would think someone almost a one hundred would, and she radiated positive energy.

She had a bit of a time getting out of the car, and spotting her walker in the back seat I then asked if I could get it out for her and she told me it would be lovely. I did and we chatted for a minute or so and I couldn’t resist - I asked if it would be all right if I hugged her. She told me that would be lovely. We introduced ourselves and had a big hug. We waved good by and I smiled all the way home!

DON’T FORGET WHEN YOU SEE AN ELDERLY PERSON THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT US IN THE FUTURE.
BE KIND, SMILE, BE GENEROUS WITH YOUR TIME. NOT MUCH IS SO IMPORTANT WE CAN’T TAKE
A MOMENT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER!

I’M STILL SMILING…….

The Promise

As a small child she said:“LORD, I am
nothing without you.
You are my sunrise, and my sunset.
You make me laugh and smile, and
dream with the highest of hopes.”

You said, “It shall be all right, if you just believe in me,
Listen to your spirit within, follow God’s laws,
and know that I really do forgive you.
No matter what.

It’s been said that when people get older they
fear death and begin a crusade towards God.

“I remember” said the oldest of women, once that young child.
“You told me if I believed in you, and listened to my spirit ,
you would forgive all my foolishness. That you would open
your arms to me. I believed you then and I believeyou now.”
She smiled.

As she begin to slip into light sleep, a
nurse remembered what she used to say:
“Good-by” to “Hither”, and “Hello” sweet “ yonder.”

She died within the hour, leaving the earth, this place of many
sorrows, and astounding joys. She left with a smile on her face.

Her last words were “LOOK OUT, HERE I COME!”

Beauty is still all around us - Just Look!

i went to the market just as the sun was setting. When I got out of the car I glanced at the sky.
I had to dig my camera and take a photo. Just think - I saw an incredibly beautiful sight presented
to me. I didn’t have to ask, all I had to do was look around me.

Look around, you may see the magic too! Love and blessings to you!

Does anyone recognize the PAIN?

Trying to find the reason an acquaintance has pain. She says it’s always in the right side of her hip and this is how she describes it:

“It comes on in a micro-second and is sharp. It stops me dead in my tracks. When I force a move or two, the pain is still there and sometimes jabs me again sharply. I find myself limping immediately to try to quell the pain.

I notice that when I climb up or down, sometimes the pain sometimes comes on. It hurts so badly that I am cautious even after the event. Sometimes long after I can feel almost like a tiny constant pain, a reminder that this was an event!”

If you have experienced similar pain please share your thoughts with me and perhaps we can work
to do something to help her….at least, if you know from whence the pain originates, it seems to help. It’s the unknown that is fearful.

Thanks for any and all input! We humans need to help one another.

Puppy orphans

My neighbor’s black lab died when she gave birth. Four pups were fine and two had died inside her
and she became septic. After $2,000. trying to help her stay alive - she still dyed. Only 4, she
was my neighbor’s best friend.

I am helping with the feeding of these pups. They are 4 weeks old and no more bottles (thank
heaven-that was a job)….cute little pups; two male and two female. Now they just chow down and when they are finished they cuddle and sleep. This day I hated to move! What fun.

God Research

“– University of Oxford researchers will spend nearly $4 million to study why mankind embraces God. The grant to the Ian Ramsey Center for Science and Religion will bring anthropologists, theologians, philosophers and other academics together for three years to study whether belief in a divine being is a basic part of mankind’s makeup.”

“One researcher said anthropological and philosophical research suggests that faith in God is a universal human impulse found in most cultures around the world.”
——————————————————————————————
I found this little blurb made me chuckle. How on earth do they plan to “study” this particular subject. I’d do it for a lot less money, but I think I can give you my theory today for nothing!

I’m all for God. Of course there is a basic part of mankind’s makeup that is universal.
We ALL are searching for something. Remember that passion inside to “find what you are looking for in seeking happiness and peace?”

Have you ever heard that when you hold close to you whatever your faith proclaims, or whatever you have found true to be God, that you enjoy that “PEACE BEYOND UNDERSTANDING.”

As a Christian (my own one world kind) I have believed for decades that the emptiness people feel comes from not filling the place in our hearts that God himself put there to be “nourished and filled” with love for him and praise for him.

We need food and water. We need exercise. These things nourish our earthly body.
Our living soul. Our Spirit that is housed within needs nourishment too. The living
waters…..like an organ withers as it doesn’t get the nutrients and things it needs to
survive…..we cannot live FULLY without God.

As the Master, Spiritual leader, and Father OF US ALL he gave us
strong bodies, intellect, and the built in human impulse to seek Him. When faith comes alive and powerful in us, it fills that gap and heals us. It empowers us and that impulse becomes a passion to reflect his love and peace.

It brightens our lives and that light is a beam for others. The peace comes because that
Spirit that was given us within becomes powerful and radiant. In my humble opinion,
we were made to worship God, love each other, and we were given the free will to make our choices in which direction we choose to go.

Some think the “narrow” road means no fun, no life, so strict and cold. Phooey! God
wants us to have fun and enjoy our lives, and the narrow road (I believe) is simply
only big enough to have faith and love within the perimeter of it.

As we cling to our faith the road will open to make our lives full and happy. We don’t
cling for fear (though I have great respect for God’s awesome power and might), we
cling to worship, give thanks for our lives and the ability to CHOOSE, and for the power of love!

That inborn human impulse is real. Anyone who has love and USES it….anyone who
firmly walks with personal faith….and remembers to thank God and use the power of prayer….will find inner peace that rocks!

I’m not telling you to THINK the way that I do, or believe what I believe. But I am telling you that when you quit resisting believing in something, more profound that can be seen, your life will improve in increments and peace will find you!

You can’t literally SEE the wind, but you know it’s there. The leaves on trees whisper it, the chimes hanging on the porch sing of it, the sails on a boat fill and move it, the signs are all there when the wind is active.

Look around you. Take a chance. When you feel alone or that your vessel is empty,
take a chance and see if you can find what your living soul NEEDS to thrive and survive.

No one has all the answers, but I promise if you open your heart and seek God- He will find you!

I am grossly out of step with the new format!

I wasn’t even “in step” with the old….just faking it. I might have a bit of time now, in between welcoming new babies in the family, to read a bit and try to understand. I learn easily by watching - but reading takes me a while longer. It really takes longer since all of this is just like new language to me. Yes, I have written 200+ posts - but I write, and that’s what I do. I take photographs too. Those things are a piece of cake!~ Putting together this blog seems like a real challenge to me!
This is a GREAT alternative to plastic bags. Most aren’t as they are way too small.
I found this hummer at Safeway and the price was $4.99 (but it’s a deal since you get two!). We all have to do our parts in trying to save the planet. It’s for damn sure the corporations and $$$$$ making machines will still keep cranking out the plastic bottles, and useless other plastic containers. Don’t you love getting a prescription with a bottle that is six times larger than the amount in it? What’s up with that?
This dandy little bag folds small and fits right in a glove compartment or purse. Very cool.
Okay, I lied. My weekend “may” be pretty busy and then Monday through Thursday I
will be staying with my daughter and her new baby daughter - so I probably won’t get back again till the end of next week. I love reading all the wonderful and unique posts on wordpress and wish I could respond to so many that I just don’t have time to do so!
Anyway, it’s been fun (again-rather adictive, eh?)…..keep on being happy! It is the best choice. I tried being miserable. It sucked, so I gave it up! Really.
Now I am (and have been for many moons) the human happy face. Speaking of moons….full moon sunday so if things are “out of sorts” or “out of wack” or just plain weird, it could be the full moon coming on! Be aware and CREATE the best weekend ever for you and those around you….what you give WILL come back to you. Make it wonderful!

Love the sky, stars, sun, moon, and clouds!

These photos were snapped while I was “out and about” running errands - on several different days. I
looked up, grabbed my handy camera (which I carry all the time) and snapped!

The rain cloud was almost ready to burst in this first photo. The second was just a lovely sky with clouds, and the third was stunning. When I looked - the blue was so deep and the little white cloud so white!

My favorite? The rain clouds, of course. They were so massive and wild.

What a beautiful and wonderful world we have if we just remember to LOOK!

WHAT IS THIS?

10 years ago when I first saw it, the circle was much smaller and closer to the sun-looked like a ring around the sun filled with smog. Today I happened to look and the ring is MUCH MUCH bigger than it was. I did
a photo merge.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA what causes this. I do not remember EVER seeing it before about 10 years ago-and I am a gazer at the sky….

Please share with me if you know / or even if you think you know!
