"Brave are the ones

who stand on the edge

of sanity and do not

flinch." ~Lisa M. Lilith,

L.L. Musings

So enjoy this author's

writings. She never

misses the mark!

Seeing today's verse,

I am moved by the

depth within. I don't

feel our world is in a

good place just now.

It's most difficult to

stand firm in these

troubled times.

Methinks 'twould be

a good idea to read

these pearls of wisdom

each morn and vow

to stand tall and face

whatever we're dealt.

"Heaven and Earth

do more than hold us 

between them. They 

expect us to deserve

it." ~NR

Sooooo love me some

quotes found in my

daily reads!

Methinks they should

be memorized, lived,

and followed.

Not sure, but perhaps

it's just living each day

the best that we can, to

the best of our abilities.

(Emphasis on living

rather than existing.)

Happy day, living,

and being . . .

" . . . to be thrilled by 

the stars at night; to be

elated over a bird's nest 

or a wildflower in spring -

these are some of the re-

wards of the simple life."

~John Burroughs

'Tis how I live in my own

little wilderness.

Strange how I have town

and country on one side,

and Mother Earth and 

pines on the other.

I'm a Libra after all so I

shouldn't be surprised.

This early a.m. we awake

to 30 degrees and the snow

has melted to about half.

Seems more like spring than

winter after all . . .

"With age comes the

realization that nothing

is as attractive, rare, or

calming as kindness."

~Tennessee Williams

I so love the gifts age

brings to my table!

Harking back, methinks

'twas the large, fancy,

phenomenal that attracted.

And now, I find I'm in 

the mood for the smaller, 

tiny, sweet details.

I find it interesting how 

life presents us with all

and sundry over time. 

I feel so lucky to have

lived long enough to see

and experience different

perspectives.

Would mind another few

years to witness even

more!

"Heart, I implore you,

it's time to come back

from the dark." 

~Mary Oliver

The news says we got

8" - 12" snow, sooooo

right. 

My guy says we have

indeed have 8" - 12".

12" backyard, 8" side

yard, 10" front yard.

Bottom line, it's quite

the snow . . . white and

bright.

I am determined to like,

love and appreciate this

snow. We need moisture

ever so badly.

Wow! Just W O W !!!

"If you're not sure what

to do, do nothing. Be still

and just listen to nature." 

Grimoire

'Tis 0' dark 30 and I am

indeed watching Mother

Earth upping our moisture

levels.

It has been snowing for

hours but only just started

accumulating.

I'm a nervous wreck just

watching the snow coming

down, but we so need this.

We're already discussing

sitting in front of the fire.

Methinks my guy might 

have to drag me down the 

stairs by my hair . . .

 . . . isn't staying in bed

today an option?!

"Gentleness heals more

than force ever will."

This Forest Within Me

Alas, methinks our world

today has forgotten even

this word . . . gentleness.

Everywhere you go . . .

you can hear parents 

shouting at their kids, 

drivers giving the finger, 

cutting people off.

How did we become so

impatient? When did we 

leave kindness behind?

Where are our smiles in

greeting?

My heart hurts!

I'm having a look-see, 

as it were, at the gifts

aging has brought me.

Love the value I place

on each day. Get a kick

out of the fun things I

get up to . . .

 . . . like ice cream for 

breakfast, an all night

read, ever champagne 

to celebrate any and all.

I care for my mind by

daily writs, crosswords

and good books. Now,

if I'd only take equal

care of the physical, all

would be good.

I like to think climbing

the stairs about thirty

times a day counts as

exercise.

Bottom line, still loving

life. Pray I get a few more

years to be naughty . . .

It has been rumored we're

to have snow today. And

I'll admit, we soooo need

the moisture.

As this has been more of

an Autumn than a Winter,

I had hoped I'd be spared

my usual SAD. Alas . . .

not so.

Hard to believe I can look

out the window and it's

fairly sunny and clear. 

Yet my thoughts ever 

return to ending it it all.

It's not real. I don't want

to go. It's just SAD at its

best. Methinks I much

owe my survival to him.

He who holds . . .

     my hand by day, 

     my body by night, 

     my soul by dawn.

I owe him not only my

survival, but my life.

Bless him and bless him

again . . .

"Repetitive complaining

will attract things to

complain about. Repeated

gratitude will attract things

things to be thankful about."

~Goddess Love

I so love it when I run into

precious words of wisdom!

Actually, methinks I rather

do on a somewhat daily

basis. 'Tis a fab way to start

out the day.

Alas, I find myself getting 

a tad down in the dumps 

from time to time. When

I remember I don't wish

to live in the doldrums, 

I make an effort to recall

these bits and pieces.

Today is going to be a 

great day; I swear it!

"Let it be . . . " The Beatles

"If you are living for

tomorrow, you will

always be one day

behind." ~Bill Hicks

As I've oft confessed,

I sin on the side of not

living in the now. I tend

to look back and look

forward. Why the hell is

that?! 

I promise myself over

and over that I'm going

to strive to be present

and live in the present.

And yes, I do enjoy the

present. It's just that I 

tend to go back and forth.

Oh well, guess it's just

one more thing I have to

worry about getting right!

"Opposites attract."

~Charles-Augustin 

de Coulomb, 1785

Pondering of late . . .

I'm finding that I truly

enjoy opposites.

Yesterday afternoon the

cabin was sooooo quiet.

Then our friends came

over and we were all

loud, noisy, enjoying

ourselves.

When they left quiet

reigned once more. My

guy and I commented

what a fab time we had.

Looking through my

catalogue of memories,

I found many opposites . . .

-Payday, shekels in hand.

     End of the month, not

     so much.

-Hungry and eating . . .

     then full and content.

-Seeing my kids . . .

     missing them 5 minutes

     after they've left already.

Ever so glad I'm getting a

kick out of my opposites!

"The way we choose to

see the world creates the

world we see." Universe

Not quite sure about this!

Indeed, I see beauty every

where I look. As I refuse

to watch the news, I may

actually have my head in

the sand. So be it!

My own world is now 

quite small. It is beautiful

to me and mine. Perhaps,

'tis all I require . . .

Blessed be.
