LOSING CONTROL

Posted on by

Beloved,

This has been a week of surprises, perhaps proof of letting go of control.  That is a hard one for me as I have been alone for 28 years so being in control is entrenched in my daily life. Not that I do not have assistance from family or friends but on a daily basis, all decisions are up to me.

In just one day, I received a call from the leader of a motor coach trip to The Sight and Sound Theatre in Pennsylvania which is presenting “Jesus” , a production which has taken three years in the making and involving about 650 individuals in all phases of its completion. It is a very memorable and moving play which reaches into your heart.  It also includes a deluxe motor coach tour of Lancaster, the Amish Country and Philadelphia. I have known about it for 3 months and have been trying to find a roommate to go with me.  No luck so I finally released all expectation and then I received a call from the leader offering me to share a room with her and her husband.  Mind you, I have never met her but it blew my mind that she and her hubby would do this for me.  I accepted gratefully and am eagerly awaiting to see the play that I have been told is FANTASTIC, even grown men are crying during this play.  I am sure that Jesus’ Love will be on full display.

Then, the same day, I received a call from a beloved  friend in Maine about our get together.  I was invited to take a trip to stay with him and his young son some time ago but we have had things happen that kept us from that happening.  We now have definite plans and I am eager to see them again. I have wanted to get to the ocean so they are going to take me which will make it all the more special.  Since I do not have a smart phone or skype, I am sure that young man has grown a lot since I saw him last.  Another wonderful surprise.

My deck is not easy to look at with all the peeling of the paint and the dirt that has accumulated.  I thought I had solved the problem with a recommendation of a person who would paint it.  After speaking to him and his visit to my home to see if he could do it, I waited and waited for a call, none came. Another friend recommended a person who suggested Trek for a new deck and I spent a lot of time deciding the material, the color, etc. and the last I heard from him was a month ago so I assumed he was no longer interested in doing my job.  Then another friend has me check out her deck that was painted two years ago with Deck Correct and it still had not peeled even in one spot.  So, I called the person who did it and he came and inspected my deck and was going to call me with a price. Evidently, the telephone Genie was hard at work again and I did not hear from him.  I did try to call him and his mail box was full??? After thinking that perhaps he did not want the job either, I called him again the next morning and left him a message that I was concerned for him as his mail box had been full.  He was not aware that I had not received his message with a price and assumed I had hired someone else??? With all of our means of communicating, why do we have so much trouble communicating easily???? We finally got to talk on the phone and he is coming next week to power wash, scrape, sand and paint.  And….I get to keep my deck purple( Trek was not available in purple) as the man at the paint store is a genius and concocted a paint formula that gave me the Deck Correct in purple to match my shutters.

I was taking my grandson out to breakfast yesterday to celebrate his tenacity in going to court to get money owed him from the government.  He did not have a car so this enabled him to buy an old but beautiful Lincoln Town Car.  He gave me a ride in it and it was like going back so many years.  It is a big “boat” and is soooo comfortable.  It is like we used to have many years ago where the seats were large and you couldn’t even feel the bumps. The trunk is big enough to carry me.   I was going to use my GPS to get the best directions to the restaurant when he pulled out his smart phone for the information ( I keep forgetting that today, all info is in the phone whereas I have different items like a solitary GPS.  His phone kept saying the restaurant was in a different town then what I said.  So he called the restaurant and, sure enough. It had moved.  If I had not given up control and let him use HIS GPS (phone), we would have gone to the wrong place.  Boy, this has been a week of wonderful surprises and proof that I do not have to be in control.

This message from the angels and Ann Albers hits the spot for me, does it for you?  This week certainly gave me the proof that I needed.

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER?

Posted on by

Beloved,

Usually the Dog Days of summer are in August but we are certainly very early for the phenomenon we have just been experiencing. Six very long days of a Heat Wave is unusual to say the least. For me, I can take the hot days as long as we have a cool down at night.  I have never had air conditioning in my home but I do have the breeze off the lake which was quite sufficient….until this long long spell of hot humidity which even the lake could not tackle. I finally gave in and decided to get an air conditioner only to find out that there are none to be found.  I am laughing at myself right now as I usually consider myself to always be prepared for what life could offer me. Or at least I have faith that I am always taken care of by the Angels, Universe, God, or whatever you call Source.

Well, I was right in a way but in a totally unexpected way.  Those of you that have been with me and my newsletters for a while know that I am the owner of a motorized three wheel scooter which I use when I go places that require any amount of walking. Although I live on a lake and have the beach right in front of me, it is surrounded by fencing so I need to go around and enter through gates which in itself is quite a distance for me to walk. I have cut back on my comradery because of this also with all the people who enjoy both the beach and water especially when it is hot. I miss my friends and neighbors even more as I watch them from my deck which is really too far away to have a conversation. As I need to pace myself throughout the day as though I am on a limited number of steps (which I am), I can visit the beach or the water only once a day. I love to kayak which is easy for me to do but it requires a lot more effort from my knees to get the kayak in and out of the water.

After two days of this hot, moist heat, I was sitting in my house feeling sorry for myself.  All of a sudden, I had a wonderful thought, an inspiration.  Why not try to get to the beach and water by riding my scooter.  There are two gates to enter the beach besides the boat launch gate.  One is more rugged terrain with rocks and tree roots but the other one allows me to ride on the grass between the benches and the fence and I can get to the part of the beach that has grass and shade as well as picnic tables. My scooter cannot travel on the soft sand.   It was so easy and I felt freer than I have in years.  It was a joy to walk into the water and to talk again with old acquaintances and make friends with the new people. I now can use the water as my body and air conditioner.  This new freedom made me realize just how much I missed doing it.  Now I can go to the beach anytime I choose as long as it is not raining or if the grass is wet as the electrical wires to my scooter are under the foot board and close to the ground.

It seems like July will be a humdinger with all of the energies of the two eclipses, etc.  Kari Samuels has it down pat and also has a free offer for you if you are interested.

TIPS TO BE AT PEACE IN THIS WORLD

Posted on by

Beloved,

Summer is here.  It feels like we have been waiting since Halloween for the warmth to come back. I still have to wear a sweater in stores because of air conditioning but I can take it off when I go outside. Actually because I do not have air conditioning in my home, I do my best to keep it cool in my house so I am still wearing flannel when I am inside.  Once my home gets warm, it takes a lot to cool it down.  I do have a dehumidifier though which helps a lot when we have humidity.  There is at least 5 degrees difference between the front and back of my house.  The back faces the lake and there is usually a breeze and cooler air there.

Although we have warm and sometimes hot days, the lake seems much quieter.  There are not as many boats and more pontoons and kayaks. I also noticed while kayaking that there are not as many buoys out to protect swimmers, perhaps there are fewer kids to protect than usual.  I just remembered, this is the last day of school and that is probably why it has been quieter. There is definitely ebb and flow to living on a lake. There are more younger children on the beach though so that is good, I get to smile a lot as I watch them play and I so enjoy hearing the laughter that they bring.

Since yesterday was the first day of summer and the summer solstice, I thought you might like some info on this special time in 2018
