Daily Reminder # 512



Alas, I forgot to take pictures of all the adorable children who came to my door tonight. I'm kind of exhausted, but it was fun to see all the cute faces and parents trick or treating with their infants as props. I have a lot of candy left over, which is not really a good thing, but I'm glad anyway. Shannon (the "kid" - she'll be 15 in December) stopped by which was a nice treat. She's trick or treating as  candy corn witch. Cute. Anyway, even though I was anxious about it all morning, I enjoyed the event - probably 65 or 70 kids.  I'm exhausted, though and sorry I forgot to take pictures. A couple of other total self-absorbed pieces of information.  I was thrilled to learn from Dr. Jim that they bought peppermint oil because it is supposed to help calm their dog's nerves. They were having trouble with a mouse and never connected the fact that the mouse disappeared with the fact that they put the oil out. I feel much more secure that I may be mouse proof.  This is great news. Something else I was going to say but I'm sleepy and I don't remember what it was. Tonight's You Tube music comes from The Fantastics, which I saw when it was still new.  Great songs.

Daily Reminder # 511


Pictures are still from yesterday, but mercifully the sun came out today and melted most of this colorlessness away. Hopefully Mother Nature will now wait to do more snow until it is a more appropriate time.  Not so sure because temperatures are supposed to go into the TEENS tonight. Geeze.  Letting Neale Donald Walsh and God do the talking again tonight.  It's odd, but I seem to be getting this same message from multiple sources. Love is the core of everything and it begins with ourselves. That is so counter to everything I was taught as a child. My mother did not approve of feeling good about yourself in any way. To her it was vanity and sinful. My brother did not approve of me getting approval for anything I did either. For him, it was jealousy. I get frightened if I have a positive thought about myself. Literally frightened. I'm better at it than I used to be, but I still have to fight the voices in my head that whisper, "who do you think you are? Self-love is the first step on the road to Hell..." I know better now, but the call of the voices is strong.


I like this little bear and also that there is just a hint
of green showing through the snow... just a hint....

On this day of your life, dear friend, 
I believe God wants you to know...
...that love is the center and the core of everything,
and that Self is the place where all love must begin.

Those who love others grandly are those who love
themselves grandly. Those who have a high toleration
and acceptance of others are those who have a high
toleration and acceptance of themselves.

You cannot show another a part of you that you
cannot show yourself. Therefore, begin where all
growth, where all evolution, where all love must begin:
with the person in the mirror.

Will you not love yourself grandly today? For the
world's sake?
Love, Your Friend....

Daily Reminder # 510


Overnight, the world went from autumn to mid-winter, from trees still filled with orange glow, to greyscale. Too much snow too soon. And it's cold to boot. Climate change stinks. 




I thought I'd let Neale Donald Waslch do the work tonight.  This is a good one, I think. Not so easy to live up to, but good.



On this day of your life, dear friend, 
I believe God wants you to know...
...that it is okay to be at a place 
of struggle. Struggle is
just another word for growth.

Even the most evolved beings 
find themselves in a place
of struggle now and then. 
In fact, struggle is a sure sign
to them that they are expanding; 
it is their indication of
real and important progress.

The only one who doesn't struggle is the one who
doesn't grow. So if you are struggling right now, see it as
a terrific sign -- and celebrate your struggle.
Love, Your Friend....

One Last Day Off

Still needing to take a break from the Daily Reminders list.  I'm chilly and tired tonight. Temperatures here have dropped into the 30s and are expected to go down to the 20s again tonight and snow is predicted again. I am just not ready for that. The mouse hasn't shown up tonight. It made an appearance last night. I hope when the peppermint oil arrives that it encourages it to go elsewhere and maybe if my friends come for Halloween, they can see if they can find the entry source and plug it. Agh. I don't want it to die, I just want it to find another place to visit.  Not sure what tonight's videos will be. 










HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

Weekly Wordzzle Challenge # 176


Still going with the story of Fred Johnson,  Paragon of Virtue. Here are links to the previous episodes.  If you need/want to catch up, click here for the 1st installment, 2nd installment3rd installment4th installment5th installment6th installment7th installment.8th installment9th installment10th installment11th installment12th installment13th installment14th installment, 15th installment...

Boy, oh, boy, oh boy, did I have a hard time with these words.....  Finally posting my exercises at ll:20 PM on Saturday. Yikes.



Word for this week's 10-word challenge were:  
paraphrase, curtains, genius, plus, plug, lunge, spartan, finger-tips, glasses, frank  and for the mini: badge, grain, spider web, my what big eyes you have, opera


My mega:  

After several hours of climbing, the Paragon and his companions, Bubbles and Healer McFlash, finally arrived at the crevice-like entrance of what appeared to be a small cave. "I think I just earned my eagle scout badge," the Paragon joked to an audience who alas had no clue what he was talking about. As they slipped through the narrow entrance, Fred found himself wondering how something the size of a dragon could live in a cave with such a small entrance. "I guess I'll find out soon enough," he mused.  And indeed he did. The Kingdom of Sunday was never short of surprises. As they moved past the narrow entrance, the cave opened out into a huge cavernous space, but what was almost more shocking that the size was that it was not the spartan world he was expecting. Instead there were the most amazing lacy curtains woven from floor to ceiling like giant, elegant spider webs, the floor was covered with soft, moss-like carpet, so thick that a hand could sink in, finger-tips to wrist, so thick that if you lay down on the floor it would embrace you in a warm hug. For light, the cave was lit with dozens of elegant crystal glasses that seemed to radiate light from an unknown source. And it was furnished, with frankly some of the most beautiful carved wooden tables and chairs with an exquisite grain he had never seen before. As he was trying to absorb all this opulence, a rather operatic voice spoke to his left. "My, what big eyes you have, Paragon. Those chairs are made of a wood not found on earth, though you do have several pieces in your pocket. Welcome to my home, Paragon. Make yourselves at home."  Turning to find the source of the voice, Fred was once again caught off guard. Rather than one of the gigantic creatures that peopled Earth mythology, this dragon was the size of a large cat. Her scales were a radiant purple and her wings - what he could see of them, glowed with a soft silver shimmer. She was beautiful. "Size is not everything, Paragon," she replied to his thoughts, "Frankly, being small and fast can be quite a plus in any number of situations. I can dart and lunge and disappear in ways that terrify, though I am actually, by nature a rather peaceful genius. I know it is unseemly in your culture to plug one's own worth, but we dragons have the wisdom to know it is not vanity to speak the truth. My name is Paraphrase Polidiche. Thank you for coming to see me. It is quite a blessing to be able to communicate telepathically like this. It will make our task much easier.I am not often called beautiful, by the way and a compliment is always a lovely introduction." 

My mini: 

As he tried to absorb this whole new concept of what a dragon was -from her diminutive size to her opera star voice and her knowledge of Earth fairy tales ("my what big eyes you have" could not be a coincidence) she was not at all what he had expected. Even the furniture was so un-dragon. Elegant lace (fancy spider web) curtains, plush rugs and beautifully carved wood furniture were just not what the stuff of real dragons. And as he thought all these things he blushed deep red, realizing that she could read his thoughts. It seemed there had been barely a grain of truth in all the stories he had grown up with. "Paragon," the dragon's voice spoke in his head, "dragons are a diverse species.... on earth and in the Kingdom of Sunday.... my kind are little known even here and we like to keep it that way. Our larger brothers provide our public face. They are the stuff of stories and their images emblazon badges. They are as real as I am. I regret that I have disappointed you, though. My apologies too, for intruding on your thoughts unbidden. It is most rude. I confess that it has been so long since I was able to speak to another in this way that I have gotten carried away and forgotten my manners. I will not intrude upon you unless invited and hope - as your powers grow - that you will offer me the same respect."  "Of course I will," Fred stammered... "and I'm not disappointed. I'm just confused. There's so much to absorb here... about this place and about myself.  I'm afraid I'm going to fail my mission and I thought having a dragon on my side would change the odds."  He heard rather than saw Paraphrase smile. "My beloved Paragon. Having a dragon on your side definitely improves your odds... and having ME on your side improves them a thousand fold. As I told you earlier. Size is not everything. Have faith brave Paragon. You are more than you realize and so am I."




And the 10-word:  


They spent the night in Paraphrase's lair. Her chef was a dwarf named Frank Lee Lunge and he was almost as much a genius with food as Chef Confetti. It was an excellent meal, not just because the food was so good, Fred mused, but because he felt for the first time in his life, perhaps, that he was with family. After the main course they shared glasses of a truly unusual liquor called Dragon's Heart, which only added to Fred's sense of well being. With Chef Lunge's permission, and as thanks for the fine meal, Fred produced special dessert from Confetti - Spartan Finger-tip Fudge Plugs, he called it - plus a massive bag of jelly-beans with the recipe attached as a gift for Chef Lunge, who could barely contain his delight.  Later that night, resting in a large 4-poster bed which was surrounded by iridescent curtains so soft and sheer they seemed more like an aura of love than real curtains, Fred felt more peaceful and happy than he had ever felt in his life. Like the others, Cane, Fred's faithful dog, had enjoyed a special feast made just for him, and that night - for the first time since he had become Fred's companion - he slept with another. Watching him curled up with the dragon, Fred had the distinct sense that he was not the only one with whom she experienced telepathic communication. I wish I could stay here forever, Fred thought as he drifted into a sweet sleep.  The next morning he thanked the dragon for her hospitality and said, "You have given me the gift of "home," kind dragon.If I could I would  stay wrapped in this feeling forever, but even though I can't do that, I know I will carry it with me for as long as I live. Thank you."  For her part, Paraphrase, offered him a slight bow of the head, and the words - spoken out loud - "I am here for you always. Call for me and I will come. It will be my honor and my joy, Paragon."  Fred wanted very much to hug her, but thought better of it and instead, gave a low bow and quickly turned on his heel and headed out so that the others would not see his tears.

Three Days Off in a Row

Bad trend.... just need a break from.... myself, I think. Alas, I am stuck with me.  I have a very nice Neale Donald Walsch to share but tomorrow is another day. I am doing gratitude still, just privately without writing a list.  I'm glad for my furnace tonight, that's for sure, and for the weatherization Delaware Opportunities did for me this Spring. We are expecting SNOW here and temps in the 20s. That's just wrong.  Here are a couple of videos.

a poem - it's a 9/11 poem, but I think it's beautiful. Oddly, synchronistic, Stephen Colbert and some country singer were singing the National Anthem as I listened to it. Seemed like a sign as I tried to tell myself that it's no 9/11 so I should save it. Maybe it's good to think about this without all the hyper patriotism that wraps around the actual day. Anyway, I think it's beautiful.





and a group of powerful poems...





and something from Garrison Keillor




HAVE A GRAND AND GLORIOUS DAY!

Two Days Off In a Row

Not feeling well. Not that sick so nobody has to worry, just a touch under the weather. Here are a couple of videos for your entertainment.  Thought I'd mix musical politics and another meditation.  Today's Healing with the Masters was a conversation with Neale Donald Walsch. Worth listening to.







HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Another Day Off

It has not been my best day. Didn't begin well and didn't have very good middle (one of my salt lamps blew a bulb and I miss it's glow and don't know what kind of replacement bulb to get) and then to top it off my house has a mouse. I am trying not to be scared. It is a little thing. I have two cats. It wants nothing more to do with me than I want to do with it. I don't want to kill or harm it. I just want it to go away. I ordered some peppermint oil which mice apparently don't like and hopefully that, a lack of anything to eat (have to work on that) and the presence of two cats will make it rethink this particular house as a wise place to visit.  Anyway, I'm not feeling all that grateful - though I did get a free holosync CD. Too much sales pitch, too little free experience. Decided to put a holosync video just to share the "free" experience. Any prayers of encouragement to my mouse to move on would be much appreciated.



and then I found this one, which I am really enjoying as I type this.



and this one...



PEACE!

Daily Reminder # 507



I figured out what's wrong with the coffee maker. It's missing a part.  Now I have to figure out how to return it. Of course the one time I'm efficient and throw the box away is the time I need it. Sigh.  I also ran the furnace today. Wow, what a difference the weatherizing has made. The house warmed up and stayed warm. The furnace is SO much quieter.  Maybe I won't be freezing all winter. How awesome is that!  Too lazy to do anything else tonight.

Daily Reminder # 506



Think I will just do gratitude this evening. On a happy note, the contractor came, turned my furnace back on and fixed the Angel gate. We are ready - well sort of - for winter. My new coffee maker continues to be the slowest machine on earth and seems to be steaming away much of the water. I think I must be doing something wrong. Of course, I stupidly threw the packaging away so I can't return it.  Yesterday I had a visit from the new case manager at the Office for the Aging. There is a chance that I qualify for assistance with the basic monthly Medicare fee. That would be really awesome if it turns out to be true, especially if it combines with the cost of living. If not, half of the $40 cost of living increase will be eaten by the raise in the monthly rate. So it goes. I'm plodding along. One of these days Publisher's Clearinghouse is bound to come through.  Oh - so I don't forget - there's another FREE Global "telesummit" this coming Monday. If it's as inspiring 
the one last weekend, it's worth the time.
