Methinks life gets a

kick out of giving us

a tickle now and then!

Lost something of late,

something that really 

matters to me. 'Twas 

just a little thing, but I 

searched high and low . . .

 . . . as did my guy, my

friends, my fam!

In our neck of the woods,

we have to have our trash

out by 7:00 a.m. on a Wed.

So today, I'm complying

per usual.

23 degrees is rather beyond

cold so I stuck my hands in

my jacket pocket.

You'll never guess what 

I found! Now the funny 

thing is, this is the second

time in a couple of years

this has happened. But . . .

 . . . do you think in all

my searching I ever check

my pockets?! 

Hell no, wayyyyy tooooo

logical!!! ~!@#$%^&*()_+

A most wondrous day

was spent yesterday

with our compadres.

So enjoyed every

moment, make no

mistake!

Then, I found out this 

early morn that we had 

lost a beautiful friend.

Love being nigh onto

a hundred years old!

Nevertheless, seems

the older we are, the

more people we lose.

And yes, I truly value

the time we are gifted

with those we love. 

Thinking I'll cherish

every moment spending

with those I love . . .

Blessed be . . .

"We can understand 

firsthand that we are

all in the same boat

and that the only thing

that makes any sense is

to care for one another."

~Pema Chodron

So wowed by  her 

wisdom, her under-

standing of love and 

life!

One of the things I

deem most valuable

would be all that comes

with the aging process.

Seeing things differently,

finally understanding

others, those amazing

aha moments . . . 

"Oh, I can see that now."

So hope I'm allotted a

tad more learning time!

Blessed be . . .

"The divine does 

not speak in logic. It 

speaks in energy. In 

goose bumps. In wind." 

empaths and old souls

I'm renewed, refreshed!

Friendship day was all

I could have hoped for. 

Breakfast in bed w/my

guy. Fun mail and cards.

Visit from our faves . . .

fine weather all 'round!

And yes, I so know we

need some pretty bad

weather! 

Today begins yet another

week. "Lord willing and

the creek don't rise" . . .

 . . . we will have a good 

one! Here's hoping!

02/14/2026 - Valentine's Day

Sooooo love me this 

very special day!

I find it interesting

that here in US, we 

just call it Valentine's 

Day.

In Mexico, we call it

Saint Valentine's Day

or Friendship Day.

What I like about the

latter is the day honors

friends, not just lovers.

I get a kick out of my

little hand-made cards,

obviously a throw back

to my childhood.

Can't help but wonder

what my friends think

of them?!

Let's honor them one

and all; family, friends,

lovers . . . each so very

important!

02/13/2026 - Friday the 13th

I've always loved Fri

the 13th. It holds that 

extra bit of magic we

all need . . .

Today, I must share this:

"Before patriarchal times,

Friday the 13th was

considered the day of the

goddess.

It is a day to worship the

Divine Feminine that lives

in. us all and to honor the

cycles of creation, death

and rebirth.

Fri the 13th is considered

a very powerful day to

manifest, honor creativity,

and to celebrate beauty, 

wisdom and nourishment 

of the soul." Tranquil Soul

May we all have a most

magickal day!

"Wisdom comes with

the ability to be still."

Sages of Spiritual Wisdom

Wow! Doesn't this just

say it all!

Methinks I've spent my

entire life trying to still

myself and I'm no closer

to my goal than ever.

We live in a fast paced

world. Life seems to be

whirling by at the speed

of sound. 

Stillness doesn't seem 

part of our daily equation.

I have an idea stillness

is a quality well worth 

fighting for . . .

"Life is short. Time is fast.

No replays. No rewinds. 

So love and enjoy every

moment as it comes."

~CSpoet

So enjoy running across

bits of wisdom in small

pieces!

They seem to everywhere

you look, if indeed you're

looking!

We're living in tough times;

make no mistake . . .

Methinks the Universe is

conspiring to hide little bits

of encouragement in all the

right places.

In thinking about it, going

to keep my senses to the

ground . . . just waiting to

find the gift of today!

Blessed be . . .

"Find your place on the

planet. Dig in, and take

responsibility from there."

~Gary Snyder

Oh, so like this attitude.

I imagine many feel they

can do little, hence they

do naught.

Obviously being elderly,

one cannot do a great deal.

I pick up trash peeps toss

out the window as they

drive by. I keep a nice yard.

Do several small donations

each month.

We can each do a lot or a

little. Still, we all must do

something!

"Take a breath and begin

again." Goddess Love

Good one!

May be just what I need

to get through winter 

SAD.

Sooooo appreciate my

fam and friends stopping 

by. Rather helps me to

cope.

And, this has been quite

a gentle winter. Much as

I like it, I know we need

the gift of water that snow

brings.

I know it's hard to believe

but I'm actually rooting for

snow . . .

"I was just minding my

own business, and the 

next thing I know I'm the

same age as old people."

Happy Hippie

Never been a mirror gal.

Never worn makeup or

been much into hairdos.

Sooooo, when I happen

to accidentally see me in

a mirror as I'm walking

by, I'm always startled

and amazed.

When did this happen?

I really don't mind. Ever

so well pleased just to be

alive. Not a gift allotted

to many, after all.

I find myself filled with

gratitude that I'm still

here fighting those pesky

daily battles. I still stand

tall, walk straight, firm

of stride.

So if you overhear me

complaining, please just

give me a good slap and

tell me to get over it!!!

"Beautiful things happen

when you distance your-

self from negativity."

@Motivational Life

Alas, methinks negativity

gets plenty of play in this

world of ours!

And, maybe I can't help

a great deal with that. At

least, I need to make sure

I'm not wallowing in my

own negativity.

Seems like the Universe

sends these brilliant little

messages. Sooooo need 

to pay more attention!!!

Today, I'm going to watch

and learn!!!

"And if I am a disaster, 

I am one that will blow 

you away with what beauty

can be born from storms."

~A. Shea

Coming to the conclusion

that disaster may just be

common ground for all

of us. Frankly, 'tis a most

interesting place to be.

Can't help but wonder how

come it's taken me so long

to figure out?!

So what with libraries

getting run into w/thous

of books on the floor and

no weight loss because

of it, figure I may as well

go with the flow here!

I also get that I'm in the

p.s. part of my life . . .

 . . . so may as well sin

on the side of fun and

imperfection!
