2月12日 It's been to long!
Hello Everyone
I'm so sorry about not being available for the last month and a half.
There is really no excuse for my neglect. I have been keeping my mind occupied with group stuff so that I don't have to think about what I really should be doing. That's the truth of it. I have been going through a depression of sorts without really recognizing it until now. I think it has to do with feelings of failure, financial devastation, and physical pain. It has come to my attention that I better get on with getting on or my whole world is going to colapse. So Here I am -
WOW - what's with all the strange changes? I hope I can figure it all out. My space seems to be doing some weird things. This is just a Quick update. I will be back in .......... or try to be back by....... I guess I'll be here when I'm here.
Have a good night. Jossie
1月4日 Reinventing my style
Getting ready for a thin me My days will be filled with reorganizing my closets. I am setting time aside everyday for the rest of this week to accomplish this task. I have a deep desire to rid myself of what doesn't fit, what didn't fit yesterday and all the things that I have been holding on to in hopes of fitting back into them tomorrow. So every day hours will be spent 'thinning out' my closet, creating space for new and exciting styles to fit my new and trim body. I am so looking forward to recovering my old thin and strong body that I once knew. I sew and that will help in recreating my new whardropbe. It is a venture that I reall look forward to. I haven't creating and sewing my own style of clothes since I gained this horrible weight. Now it is time to start designing again. Also I have a Grandson to sew for now. I made a lot of my clothes for my son when he was growining up and he has been hounding me to make some things for Rockwood.
Yesterday I took advantage of the 75%off sales at the fabric stores and picked up some might fine sissors. Got to have the right tools for the job. Have a good day Everyone!

10月14日 My life is "Closed for Remodeling".
Closed for Remodeling
I am so sorry that I have to leave spaces for a couple of months. I will miss you all very much. I have some life issues that I have to take care of. My son may or may not be by to visit or blog depending on his health (oral surgeries) and his work scheduale.
I am taking a needed well-being break to put my health, life, and finances together. (and in that order) My mind has been way to scattered of late and I have to center myself. Important things have been put aside and ignored but life has demanded that my mind get focused so that I can take the appropriate actions to continue to live. For me that takes a lot of energy and time.
You have all been an inspiration and your love and hugs have seen me through some really rough situations. I will remember every kind word and hold them close to my heart during this transition.
Thank you for your loyalty and your kindness's!
I hope you all have a very fun Halloween!
I hope that your pumkins are full of treats and that all your ghosts be friendly ones.
I will be missing you all during ThanksGiving and the rest of the wonderful Fall Days. May all the leaves of change fall softly and the winds of Autumn bring good news.
Good Night and Sweet Dreams 10月10日 Monday morning high!

Leaves
by Elsie Brady
How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground To lay a carpet, rich and rare, Beneath the trees without a care, Content to sleep, their work well done, Colors gleaming in the sun. At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky. Twisting, turning through the air Till all the trees stand stark and bare. Exhausted, drop to earth below To wait, like children, for the snow.
It is a beautiful Fall Day! The sun is shinning and the slight breeze is softly blowing the leaves off the trees in my back yard. They fall on me as I am gathering up all my herbs to bring in and cure for winter use. The frost is here so the time is right for the harvesting. My little garden was slim at best but next year it will be blooming and full from all the seeds left by the herbs that have been allowed to grow to seed without being harvested. I love my herb garden. I have a wonderful seat out in the garden to sit with my coffee and my journal for an evening of writing. The dog out playing in the yard and the birds yelling at the cats. It makes for an evening of sweet joy. Then to top it off my kids came to visit for a bit and gather up some herbs to take home. My son uses them in his marinades that he creates. They love a barbeque, me too.
This night I have planned a marathon movie watch featuring, "Julia Roberts". The movies for tonight are: Mary Rielly, Sleeping With The Enemy, My Best Friends Wedding, Pretty Woman and Conspiracy Theory. Once a month I simply have to do a marathon of movies. For this night I have taken a week to prepare what I call finger food. So my fridge is filled with platters of all types of goodies to munch during the entire evening. Food, Movies, Friends and Family. It doesn't get much better for me.
I hope you have all had a fine weekend. I will see you all soon! I will be visiting this coming Thursday.

10月2日 On the wings of Love
I am feeling especially warm and fuzzy this morning. All of my depression has disappeared, and so the joy of living commences. I usually feel happy and can go through a lot of human disappointments but this year has been really different for me - the shadow of unkindness has plagued me longer than it ever has. The persisting illnesses, brought with them a sadness that I have not known before, and they hung over me like a dark cloud.
All of that is behind me now. The depression and sadness has been lifted from the very depths of my being. And by the 'Grace' has been replaced with the sweetest experience of tender love for all life. I love that place! Been there before. It is a place that I lived and abided in for over 16 years. Then I lost my way, took a side turn, and when down pathways that where less then friendly.
This side track lasted way to many years, and during this time the question that was constantly on my mind, "how do I get back on track?" I tried church, groups with various purposes for personal evolvement, books on self help, courses and seminars for personal growth. Nothing brought me back to the path (warm and fuzzy - being in love with life path). So I let go the idea that I would never get back. That is where the illnesses began and the sadness slithered in.
Then I awoke and found that I was standing at the crossroad where I took that turn. Tears flowed for hours. I felt so blessed because I knew that I did not get myself here. I knew that by the 'Grace of the all mighty' had brought me back - Unto myself - and gave me another opportunity to choose a path that would benefit my soul and all those around me. This I call a miracle. When the Devine intervenes and carries me back and towards my real home of inner peace and love. What a Grace that is.
In my life there has been many miracles. Then when I went off track, miracles where not to be found but randomly. Please feel free to share your miracles with us here. I would love to get to know the stories of those whom have been touched in some way or another with a "Power Greater Than Ourselves" that brought us back from the brink of personal destructions.
What is your miracle?
I want to share with you and myself a poem that I have not read in years but has been on my mind. It is one of those poems that when you read it - it totally speaks to you. I can not say that this particular poem will speak to you, but it does to me. So I share it, myslef, with you.
I am a little church (no great cathedral)
far from the splendor and squalor of hurrying cities
-I do not worry if briefer days grow briefeest,
I am not sorry when sun and rain make april
My life is the life of the reaper and the sower;
my prayers are prayer of earth's own clumsily striving
(finding and losing and laughing and crying) children
whose any sadness or joy is my grief or my gladness
around me surges a miracle of unceasing
birth and glory and death and resurrection"
over my sleeping self float flaming symbols
of hope, and I wake to a perfect patience of mountains
I am a little church (far from the frantic
world with its rapture and anguish) at peace with nature
--I do not worry if longer nights grow longest
I am not sorry when silence becomes singing
winter by spring, I lift my diminutive spire to
merciful Him Whose only now is forever:
standing erect in the deathless truth of His presence
(welcoming humbly His light and proudly His darkness.
e.e.cummings
Every now and then I need a spiritual Boot!
Check out these next two spaces and take them your special gift of friendship that you have given to me. Thanks for all your loyalty, hugs and friendship!

Petra's space is filled with wonderful art. I am sure you will enjoy her space as much as I do. It is a must see place. Have fun!
Have a great October Everyone! |
I have missed having all my family being together on Christmas Eve. My Brothers and Father are gone, and my mother and Step dad live out of town. So I will be alone for most of the night. But my heart is full of joy so that will not be a problem this night.
