Decorating the Tree, Shopping for Presents, Walking the Mall

Eating Chocolates, Being Crabby, Smiling, Squirting some perfume,

Drinking Coffee or other victuals.

Yep it's that time of year!

Happy Holidays

Life surely keeps you on your feet doesn't it

Imagine a day without coffee

what would I do?

Imagine a day without music

what would I do?

Imagine a day without my internet connections to all of you

what would I do?

Ok.. so I am imagining myself without all of those things

I am pretty damn miserable.....no music, no coffee, no conversations

Ok... so I am happiest with my coffee, some tunes and a good internet connection!

Are you part of my life

Visitors

Knocking on my door Thanksgiving Day

Relatives ? NOPE

Friends? NOPE

guess again......

OK.. they gobble and they wobble

YEP real live Turkeys!

Despite the forecast, Noel came and went right past

us here in little Rhody

Of course some branches fell, some leaves blew past us

and a bit of rain came down too.



Weather this time of year can be unpredictable to

say the least



I heard the word whispered 'snow'..

SNOW!

An Alberta clipper headed this way..

friday!!



Just one flake is all I need to turn into a

Flake myself



Can't wait for that first flake to be visible

in my yard....



whooheee......

Singing is a passion of mine, gardening too, I love seeing that garden growing out there, and the small visitors that make themselves at home.

Singing in the garden is a passion of mine, looking at all the little plants listening so intently to my song.

singing.. is a way of life

sing your passions

sing your desires

sing your words

spread music round the world!

It sucks to be in a slump

Fall

Fall truly is a most amazing time of year

The leaves turning colors, both bright and dull

The wind softly sweeping them from their branches

The earth composting them slowly as they lie

Yes

The crispness of the air

The harvest taken

The home fires burning

Calling you home

Calling softly

to rest.... to prepare.. Winter is not far

Blessed Be

My Best Friends

My best friends have four legs

lots of lovely long hair, and short hair

my friends are accepting of me

they only ask a bit of me

"Can we go for a walk?"

............of course we can, and we do for miles and miles

My friends enjoy having dinner with me, but of course

I am their favorite cook!

My friends love a good back scratch, and are so content afterwards

tho' they never scratch my back (intentionally)

..............but they do make me feel so good.

My friends listen to when I arrive and greet me with a smile

My friends are sad to see me leave

and always exhuberant to know I am home.

My friends are my dogs

No matter how hard that may seem for people to believe

I could be quite content living all alone for years

with only a house full of dogs

Each dog in my life has taught me a great deal

They have shown me how to be patient

they have taught me to be kind

they have accepted me, with and without makeup!

Yep, my really BEST Friends are

my Dogs, past ~present~ and I assume future ones

I can not live without my dogs

Today I put my best foot forward for a new day

~ yesterday was truly challenging

Today is all new, last night I filled my container with water

left it out for Sister Moon to leave her energy to fill me

with her love and light!

Today I am happy to be alive

Today I can smile

Today is a new Day

Truly a new Day!

Having a bad day?

Take this into consideration,

If you think you are having a bad day

try carrying this load!

Coffee n Work

Mabon, is just upon us, the leaves are beginning to turn, just about the time we should begin to slow down.

SLOW DOWN, pah-lezzzzzz if only..

I don't think I'll ever be really happy if I slow down

I love being busy, I love to challenge myself ~ attempting to figure out HOW I'll get it all together and keep it there

HOW I'll stay awake long enough to sing til 10 at night

HOW I'll wake up at 4:45 AM and smile all day long

BUT I DO IT

I MANAGE, cuz truly I enjoy my life

I enjoy trying as many things as possible, humanly or not!

TRY it.. it's fun!!

I saw the most elegant of stars this morning... and ursa minor.. so tiny in the big sky

It was the first morning in a long time that the sky was clear. It's been overcast for over a week, heavy with a humid air. The air is clear and cleaner this morning, with the beauteous sky, heavenly dare I say!

Bright Blessings from the Universal Light shine on me this day

It's all in the Cards!

Card readings

I used to do Angel Card and Fairy Card readings on a daily basis, and for friends.

The goddess and tarot entered my life, and I haven't chosen or looked at my old

cards in a very long time.

Last night I had the rare experience of being home alone, so I was sitting in a quiet NO TV space enjoying my living room when I noticed the cards on the wall in their holder, so I chose two..

the first said MAKING NEW FRIENDS

the second said LETTING GO

I have had a great deal of turmoil in my life with friends this past year.. from last October til today...great losses!

So my thoughts have been about letting go.. and this concurs!

It is time to move forward and let go!

It's all about making new friends

...........and enjoying MY life!

The Sun

Where is the Sun

It's been days actually since we have encountered any full days of sun

The weather is great, cool and dry but cloudy

incessant clouds that don't seem to go away

I suppose it' s not rainy and for that I should be happy

But some SUN sure would be nice

Walking the dog in this weather is great.. working inside is great too,

but it would be nice to have some Sun.. so..

Mr Sun Sun, Mr. Golden Sun, please shine down on me....

Today I feel Alive!

Oh goddess, the weather is splendid.. cool accompanied by a breeze!

Who could ask for more.

Walking this morning was so great, neither ZaZu or I wanted to stop, and he had already gone for one walk .. JP and Pichi on the other hand couldn't stop complaining.. we wanna go home, but ZaZu and I just kept on going, further and further.. what the heck, I want to be in the 150's I am so close, and actually naked this morning, I did make it to 159.5 Whoo hoo for ME.. what a great feeling, now to lose enough more to see 158 with CLOTHES... he he... it's knocking on my door, and while I have the time I plan on walking twice a day til I see it, and then more.. !

128 seemed so far, now it could be a hope and a skip... at 136 I could quit...but why, I could actually 'wear' Sasha's clothes if I reach the 128!! Ha...hahahahahaha, she would cry!!

So there was a day when I was sad

but I thought oh well this shall pass

and it did

There was a day I wasn't well, I thought

this too will pass

and it did

Then there was this day when you stopped by

for a visit

and my heart was glad

and it still is

Thank Goodness there is a Goddess in my life

Hugs Michele

What.. is a friend

A friend is someone who knows who you are

A friend is someone who always cares

A friend is never far no matter the distance

A friend is just a mirror of who you are

A friend is important

A friend is Special

Last Day

Yipee it's the last of thirty camp days,

the day is nearly through

Its hot the kids are cooling in the pool

the fairy dance is ready...

and so is the ice cream!

OH.. sing me a song. of Rest n' Relaxation

The HEAT

OH the heat is upon us, yes it's finally that time of year when it just gets HOT

I am not a heat loving creature, being a water sign, I am much happier being cool .. not dripping ...in sweat!

I am busy .. learning new things.. Grey School of Wizardry is providing me an excellent space to learn all sorts of wonderful things. The dog.. well, there is NO way to get around walking him, each day around five p.m., he begins his low bark, barely audible, which grows in decibles until the walk begins. Pichi, notorious little chihuahua that he is stands totally firm that HE goes also.. now my mother and her little dog have joined us.. walks in the park, take an hour!

But my waist is slimming, and so is my ass!

Monday

Yeppers it's monday.. ten days to go....

It's now the official count-down 10....

Thanks to all my Friends who took the time to say

Happy Birthday..

Cancerians and Birthdays are a real trip, if you are one

you understand..

New family tradition began this year, as a gift from my children

When it' s your birthday everyone has to do what you say

Tha't was fun

Mmm but having a dead car battery and your husband concocting burnt

pancakes and ruining your best large pan is what I call a disaster!

the day got better....

I got a new coffee mug!

and a sarong, which I treated myself to!

off to another year of Brilliance

You say it's your birthday

It's my birthday too--yeah

They say it's your birthday

We're gonna have a good time

I'm glad it's your birthday

Happy birthday to you.

Yes we're going to a party party

Yes we're going to a party party

Yes we're going to a party party

I would like you to dance--birthday

Take a cha-cha-cha-chance-birthday

I would like you to dance--birthday

DanceYou say it's your birthday

Well it's my birthday too--yeah

You say it's your birthday

We're gonna have a good timeI

'm glad it's your birthday

Happy birthday to you.

How fun is life

You really never ever know what's coming next.
If you didn't you probably wouldn't be happy about it anyway so why not wait.

don't you think that's kinda interesting

it's kinda like a really good book, it keeps your interest page to page

Enjoy it.. just like a good book!

Thursday

The sun is out and that's a good thing!

Listen... you can hear birds.. the solar chimes are ringing..do you hear it?

After a long day of rolling thunder, heavy clouds and a soaking rain

this morning brought some fog, crickets and now a less humid

sunny morning.

What does your day offer?

My day offers laughter

hugs from my children and grand-child

goofy jokes from a husband who finds himself funny.

My day offers me smiles

My day offers me opportunity

My day offers me some freedom to express myself

I am open

Butterflies

Butterflies were once free

Now they are agonized by pollution

Butterflies were once free

Now they are wandering to find flowers

Butterflies may be You!

Help save the Planet NOW.. don't wait for the person next to you to do it!

You could be free too... Go to your supermarket and buy "Certified Organic" foods ONLY..

A Blessing
May the East fling open your windows, and fill your rooms with air;May the South send you strong sunshine, and give you the strength to dare;May the West wash rivers into your heart, and oceans into your soul; May the North share the secrets and gifts of the earth, to heal and make you whole.
M. Flanders

Thank you Michele!

clouds

There used to be a song about Clouds getting in your way

Is that what's in store for me today?

Cloudy weather?

I am tired of cloudy weather

Looking for the sunshine

Thinking Positive is always so much work

I want to wake up to a day of fun

I want to wake up to a day of fun

... fun... fun... fun...

no clouds..

ooops no mention..

thinking fun!

.... has the fun begun?

.... Hooray for another Fun day!

Day's Done

day is done...now the fun

no mo work

but life's begun

let's see prioritize

dishes

dog walking

dinner

dishes

lessons

tv? maybe

then ah.. rest.. sleep...

yep day is done..

ooo's n ahh's

Cooler weather.... ooooo'

lower humidity....ahhhhhh'

Okay.. so I still slept with the AC on, cuz who wants a drippy sleep?

and I woke up a few times to see if it was stormy, which I never saw

But still the sky is blue this morning, and the clouds are light and wispy

the paper has returned to crispy

and I am exhuasted...

Playing outdoors all day long catches up to you, ya know...

It's Thursday... one more work day...

Saturday there's a Wedding, outdoors in the Park.. the weather looks more

promising everyday... She deserves a GREAT day...

sending you sun, cool temps and fairy skies... Rosie!!

hugs

YOU know WHO!

Wednesday

This morning brings fog, and lots of it
It's damp.. the kind of morning when the paper you are holding is.. wimpy
there is just nothing crisp about this kind of day
the forecast is another hot one.. so I'll take the morning fog..

I gained 2 lbs this week.. despite my daily walks of at least 3 miles..
time to increase the distance, but in this heat even the dog doesn't want that!

Less food... maybe!

Feeling good.. happy... and wallowing in humidity!

Yep that's me today!!

Will it rain
Will it pour
Will it thunder

Give me no more!

Okay the heart of the matter is .. it's way to HOT
This is New England, was it this hot in 1725?
Did those dang Pilgrims were all those clothes in this heat?

Gripe... yep I'll gripe all I want
NOW.. I am going to go get wet in the shower.. and clean..
Grime.. yet this heat atracts that stuff..
ew...

tomorrow.. the question is
rain, shine, hot, warm, well NO snow I imagine...

What if your day, was only YOUR day?
What if you woke up, and no one else was there, only YOU?
Would you embrace that, would it scare you, would you wonder where in the world is everyone else?
Today fill your mug with YOU
Embrace yourself
hold your face in the mirror for a minute and appreciate yourself
think .. what can I do today for ME!
NOW...when you first look in the mirror next
LOVE yourself
Hug yourself and then know
YOU are loved!
mmmmm... didn't that feel so good
