"Those who take the

scenic route because 

it's prettier, keep smooth 

stones from special places,

and feel better after a rain

storm - I see your magic."

~Earthy Herbs

Ahhhhh, just my special

kind of magick!

I so love and honor that

part of my home that

bleeds into the forest! 

I find healing simply 

by observing the beauty

provided by our Mother.

I get that we're all diff.

Some like living in the

midst of a city whilst

others wish to be as 

far away as possible.

There are those who

live in condos, others

in high rises, oceans

and mountains as well.

I find it both amazing

and lovely  . . . all the

different tastes and

enjoyment . . .

Sending some happy!!!

Get such a kick out of 

seeing how different

retirees live and play!

One of my oldest pals

travels the world over.

Sometimes on her own

and others with a friend.

Others take short trips

to nearby places. Yet

some spend a lot of

time at malls and stores.

Then there are those of

us who have been there,

done that and now like

to stay at home with

murder mysteries and

eats in bed.

Go figure! Methinks has

to do with dif personality

prefs. Know I'm enjoying

the hell out of my own

end of lifestyle!!!

Have fun, whatever you

choose . . .

"You live most of your

life inside your head.

Make sure it's a nice

place to be." ~Angie Shea

Fab reminder!

Right or wrong, I live 

in my head a great deal. 

I like to think things out.

I enjoy remembering . . .

helps with the doldrums.

I even have conversations

in my head.

When I need to, I talk to

my dad in my head. Much

to say and he gets me. I

always feel better after a

long chat with him.

Memories, remembrances,

recalls . . . fab visits!!!

"I have danced with your

memory a thousand times."

~Zen to Zany

Has to do with Memorial

Day. Can't stop thinking

about my father.

I do talk to my dad almost

every day. He's who I talk

to in a manner of praying.

I always could talk to him.

Could tell him anything. 

Was the least judgmental

person I ever met.

In fact, he was the one 

who informed me at the

age of 13 that I was to 

be called to the Pantheist

path.

No, I never, ever forget

my dad, not even for a

moment. Still, Memorial

Day simply screams his

absence.

My heart sooooo hurts . . .

05/25/2026 - Memorial Day

I come from a military

family.

Praise the Universe . . .

they all came home. I

can't even begin to

imagine losing anyone

to war. Such heartache.

I pray each family who

have lost a beloved to

war, be comforted today.

You are in my heart . . .

Blessed be.

"Faithless is he that says

farewell when the road

darkens." ~J.R.R.Tolkien

Tolkien, always good

with those much needed

reminders.

Alas, I believe I've sinned

thusly. Afraid of the dark

perhaps. But as one grows

older, we learn to stay the

distance.

Having said that, I'd be the

first to admit the fear, even

terror. A lot of us actually

grow up afraid of the dark!

'Tis perhaps that we elders

don't run so fast as we once

did. Best to sit tight and

face the music.

I'm at least down to dark 

days rather than dark times.

Courage . . .

05/23/2026

I've been told, from 

time to time, that I'm 

an eccentric.

I do know my dad was,

but I still have trouble

defining the word.

I've worn naught but

black since I retired. I

have 13 sets of black

so I can change daily.

Not sure if that's crazy

or eccentric. Ha.

Wonder if living happily 

in a 150 year old tiny 

cabin counts?!

Feel free to enlighten

me; I am curious . . .

 - - -

"Eccentric . . .

refers to behavior, habits 

or appearances that deviate 

significantly from accepted 

or conventional norms.The

term implies an odd, peculiar 

or unconventional style that 

is uniquely one's own, often 

regarded as whimsical rather 

than harmful." Vocabulary.com

"The healer suffers first.

Then returns with the

medicine."

~The Pagan Collective

Methinks 'tis a true gift

to be called to be a healer.

Still, I can only imagine

the exhaustion from doling 

out healing whenever and

wherever one can.

I question, do those of us in

need ever serve the healer?

Do we send flowers, make

a meal, take them out, pray 

for them?

I swear I am going to take

a serious look at those who

have helped me on my path,

those who have healed me

when needed.

I must find a way to honor

their givings, expecting

naught in return . . .

"Do not grow old, no

matter how long you 

live. Never cease to 

stand like curious children 

before the Great Mystery 

in which we were born." 

~Albert Einstein 

Beautiful, beautiful words!

What I find interesting about

Albert Einstein would be the

fact that despite his brilliance,

he understood real life.

I'm still learning and I pray

I learn that great lesson in

these words!

Methinks it boils down to

LIVE rather than EXIST.

"Albert Einstein was a

German-born theoretical

physicist and mathematician

who revolutionized physics

and our understanding of the

universe. He's best known 

for his equation E=mc2."

"Every part of your

journey has meaning.

Embrace it all."

~Goddess Love

I actually believe I've

done this my entire life.

Loved life, experiences,

happenings . . . all good!

I will admit, there are 

days and times when 

this whole aging process 

catches me out. I can be

a tad cranky. Ouch!

But, as my father before

me used to say, "Isn't it

a glorious morn? So great

to be alive."

Remembering . . .

05/19/2026

Obviously, I'm an old

gal, med hight, weight . . .

Having owned up . . .

I say, I am concerned

about the anorexia I

witness in today's stars.

Why is it necessary to

be bone thin? Why is

this the norm of today?

I hear about the hardly

eating, the throwing up,

the fasting . . . not only

NOT healthy, methinks

early death awaits along

with all types of health

issues.

Alas, we need to revisit

our belief systems with

our very messed up view

of beauty . . .

05/18/2026

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 . . .

~Anxiety Positive

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!
