Colorado waits . . .

as the long promised

snow arrives today.

Spring, not winter, 

but here's hoping for

several inches of that

much needed moisture.

We are to be blest with

both rain and snow. I

am vastly concerned 

as not having a proper

winter this year will

affect Colorado's crops

in all areas.

We also supply water

for other states. What

happens when there is

naught to be shared?!

I pray the Universe

smiles on us today!!!

Blessed be . . .

Every now and then, the

Universe finds a way to

send much needed advice.

If ever there is a list to be

followed, 'tis this one.

Methinks I need to tattoo

it on my brain and in my

heart.

Follow the list, make your

own, add and subtract, but . . .

 . . . do something positive

for yourself during difficult

times.

 . . . do something positive

for yourself every single day!

"Age didn't slow me

down, it just changed

what I run toward."

~Wilderness Times

Who would've guessed

just how much I enjoy

being in my late 70s!

Like where I live. Love

my fam and friends. Get

a kick out of my murder

mysteries (both book &

movies), hours I keep,

foods I eat, wine and

dine me all I want!

Methinks the aches and

pains are naught when

looking at the joy of

living.

My intention is to enjoy

right down to the last

minute!

What a life! Salud . . .

"If nothing saves us

from death, may love

at least save us from

life." ~Pablo Neruda

Ever and always love

Pablo Neruda. 'Twas

during my 20 years in

Mexico that I read and

enjoyed so much of his

work.

Yet, this particular quote 

is beyond the pale . . .

phenomenal!

Methinks it suggests there

are difficulties in life that

only love can help us

survive. 

I can sooooo attest to this!

Love has gotten me through

cancer, losing the home my

father built for me, running

away from home, living in

poverty and trying my best

to grow up.

I salute LOVE, honor those

have loved me through the

most difficult times, and

those who love me still . . .

 . . . eccentric, weird, crazy

woman that I am!

"Stay aligned with your

own morals, values, and

energy and let people

meet you there."

~Goddess Love

Need to think about this . . .

The people I love come

from all different walks

of life. They often believe

differently than I do. It's

simply not an issue.

This doesn't mean we

don't meet and greet

within the realm of

similar values. Simply

said, we walk different

spiritual paths.

But, what's that old adage?

"All roads lead to Rome."

I have a feeling that all

spiritual paths lead to the

light.

Blessed be . . .

"Life is all about balance.

Balance is not something

you find ... it's something

you create."

~Muses from a Mystic

Perhaps bears repeating . . .

I've searched for balance

my entire life.

As the most unbalanced

Libra I've ever known,

methinks 'tis not bloody

likely I'll find it this late

in the day.

Guess now it's all about

self acceptance . . .

   -So what if I'm uneven?

   -So what if balance isn't

       in the docket for moi?

   -So what if my ups and

       downs make no sense?

Perhaps this time of life 

is indeed all about living, 

enjoying, doing, no matter . . .

 . . . balance or imbalance!

05/12/2026

I find myself loving

my crone years . . .

I enjoy doing what

ever I feel like doing.

I love living quietly.

I so like the hours I

keep.

Obviously, aging has

its own difficulties. 

Yet, I find both joy and

gratitude to have been

allowed these additional

years of my life.

I look back at each period

of my life. I enjoyed them

all. Most thankful for the

memories.

Not quite done yet . . . 

I'm still loving life!

Blessed be . . .

Crazy days of May . . .

   -May 1, Beltane

   -May 5, Cinco de Mayo

   -May 10, Mother's Day

   -May 25, Memorial Day

   -May 27, Eid al-Adha

   -May 30, Blue Moon Eve

   -May 31, Blue Moon

Rather unbelievable, don't

you think?! One could be

an alcoholic by the end of

the month!

Oh well, as 'tis my daughter's

b-day/b-month . . . 'twill ever

and always be my fave!

BTW, if you want to celebrate

any of the above dates, just

let me know . . .

05/10/2026 - Mother's Day

I find myself thinking

of all my girls . . .

. . . Linda, Katie, Emily

Sarah and Jennifer . . . 

 . . . all fab moms!

Lovely to be especially

remembered on this day,

but what moves me are

those little daily acts

reminding me I am

loved by my children.

That phone call out of

the blue, a sweet card in

the mail, an unexpected

gift, an email.

Methinks the children

are beyond busy with

their own. They must

feel as I once did . . .

overworked beyond

the pale.

I send each of you love

and courage. I thank the

Universe for you.

Blessed be, mom

"Live your life and

forget your age."

~Goddess Love

I'm trying! I'm trying!

Except there are so

many reminders that

I'm about a 100 years

old. Damn it!

I don't recognize moi

in the mirror any more.

Age spots abound and

my knees go out from

time to time.

But bottom line, I am

still here, enjoying life

my children, family, 

my friends.

Methinks it doesn't get

any better than that!

Now, here's hoping my

mind doesn't decide to

go on vacation!

"Integrity means that

what you thought, what

you said and what you

did, are all the same."

~Goddess Love

Wondrous words of

wisdom . . .

Methinks I have finally

found that perfect bit

of true wisdom. Some-

thing to truly strive for.

Rather wish I could 

have this etched on my

brain for ever and a day.

Might just be the best

read before starting out

each morn.

Blessed be . . .

05/07/2026

'Tis the morn of the

day after . . . 

And here we are . . .

watching our 15 plus

inches of snow, now

half of that.

So thank the universe

for this most needed

moisture. I would add,

we're experiencing a

very different season

than usual.

Can't help but wonder

how this will affect out

crops and daily temps.

Still, ever so glad to be

here . . . alive and well

for all that . . .

05/06/2026

OMG . . . 

Mother Nature has gifted

us such incredible beauty

today.

The back yard is simply

beyond greeting card 

beautiful!

My guy estimates we

have about 15" and it's

still snowing.

Methinks going back

to bed is a grand idea,

although the fireplace

feels quite alluring. 

Just have to see what

other gifts the Universe

brings today . . .
