NEW YEAR’S LAUGHTER & GLEE

Posted on by

Beloved,

I hope your Christmas of 2017 was the best one yet. Of course, we know that there are many surprises and some you could have done without but it would not be the season if there were not surprises along the way.

Wow, is it cold?  We have so many nights that are below zero and the day’s temperature does not go up that much.  Yet, if I had a choice between snow and the cold, I would take the cold.  The sun still shines brightening my spirits and I don’t have to shovel.  I just need to layer up or bundle up as my parents would say. Driving is also much easier as long as you have a good battery.  One of the things I allowed myself was a car starter.  I have a 2004 Rav4 and it did not have an alarm so I had one installed and I got a bonus that I did not know about. I can open the garage door and push the START button from my key chain and my car starts up and gets warm without me having to go outside.  I feel like I am spoiled as I remember so many times I had to go outside and shovel before I could get to my car.  My garage in one of my extravagances that I treasure.

It has been so cold and I was wondering when the ice fisherman were going to get out on the lake.  It is wise not to go out on the ice until you see the fishermen out there.  They make a hole with a saw and can tell how thick the ice is.  Two days ago, there were two fishermen out there and today there are about 5.  They are out there without even the shelter that I see many fishermen use. That is dedication to their sport.

I think we deserve a laugh to open our hearts and heads that have been frozen due to the cold.  Since I am a senior, I laugh even harder as I know I have been in a  situation  like this with my computer and TV.

I know that this gathering was done in 2009 yet we can now see that it was  effective.  Perhaps we could all do it again, anyone up to the task?  It was 156 countries then, how many can we get now to join and get this message out: “All you need is Love”. This is truly all you need and a great way to start the New Year. Let’s spread this far and wide and watch it go viral on social media.

Do these two little girls know  something  we adults don’t?  My New Year’s wish is that all of us believe what they are telling us.  After all, It has only been a short while these two souls (or should I say one soul?) were with God, Source or whatever you call the Creator.

A message from Archangel Michael that sets the tone for the New Year.  Listen up and be gentle with yourself, you deserve it and your gentleness will spread all over the planet.

GLITCHES AND LAUGHTER

Posted on by

Beloved,

Sorry for the delay, there are a lot of glitches happening which require straightening out.  These are causes of much laughing as all involved struggle to understand what is happening. For instance, I take Nature Throid as a prescription for my thyroid.  Medicare has agreed  that all on Medicare will be covered by this product so there is a shortage as we all scramble to find this drug.  It seems that the producer of this drug is building a new facility in order to handle the new volume of orders but it is not operational yet.  My pharmacist and I have been dealing with this for a few months, begging and borrowing from other pharmacies that have some on hand that no one is asking for.  The crescendo came this week as there simply was no more.  I was told by my doctor’s office that CVS and Walgreens had it but after calling around, no one has any?????I needed to choose another thyroid medication, one my body would accept.  There is NPThyroid from China which is available from my regular pharmacy and I finally received an automated call that my prescription was ready and as I was down to only one more day’s dosage, I scooted over to them.  Once there, I was told that Medicare would pay only for the 15mg strength and I needed the 75mg strength.  Of course, another series of phone calls between doctor’s office, pharmacy and me. Medicare has a glitch, God help us. All of us are laughing at the foolishness that is going on as they will pay for me to take 5 of the 15 mg a day but won’t pay for the 75mg.  ??????? Hopefully this will all settle down and the Naturethroid will be available in a month or two. And…..this is only one is a series of glitches that have been happening. Notice that I am not alone in this; I can’t do this without help from others.  I am sure you are experiencing this is your own way with your own scenario.  You are not alone so do not give up hope.  We need to laugh at the silliness of the happenings in the world right now.

My birds, the golden finches are back.  I even had a beautiful red cardinal at my feeder which I have never seen before as they are usually ground feeders.  My little Juncos, the ground feeders, are back because the others are back and throwing food on the ground for them beneath the feeders.  It is a pleasure to see them again. I took them for granted and this was another opportunity to release all attachment.  Isn’t this what we are asked to do?

Richard Rohr gives us the true story of how the  Celebration of Christmas first began.  I hadn’t heard this before and since Richard Rohr is one of our greatest theologians and author, I wanted to share his wisdom with you. I subscribe to his daily meditations which always add to my knowledge of how the whole world shares in the creation.

Here is a message from Gabriel and words that will ease all the frustrations you are experiencing.

Breaking news: at least to me.  Hope for the future of our planet.  One big, big player is finally listening to the people who wish to stop the  raping  of our Mother Earth when other options are available.

Dec21 is coming this week and I can’t think of a better way of preparing than attending or watching Lee Carroll and Gregg Braden.  What an opportunity  to welcome in the Winter solstice. It starts tomorrow so sign up now before you forget.

Love wins out in the end and it was a  combination  of love for another and love for the world.

SURPRISES FROM YULETIDE

Posted on by

Beloved,

This has been a season of changes for me.  I tried to get one last jaunt in my kayak but the wind and water did not cooperate but I am fortunate that I can see the water from inside my home. I even rearranged my living room (again) so I can see the lake while I am sitting watching TV (as long as the night has not rolled in yet). My sofa was just too tall for me to sit and still be able to see over the back  to see my favorite reason for still being in this cold weather.

I have been in bird shock for three months as my favorite bird, the golden finch, disappeared from my feeders. Imagine feeling abandoned by wild birds. I asked many people and have called the Bird Store several times and I get the same reason.  There is so much natural food for them like berries and nuts that they are not coming to the feeders. In my 21 years here, this had never happened before. I finally gave up my search for them after all this time and a few have come back occasionally.  I surprised myself that I was so depressed because I could not see my favorite birds and I missed their molting back to the duller colors of the females. Yet…I have many other different birds like the Tufted Titmouse, White Breasted Nuthatch and Black Capped Chickadee.  I am human and do not like change but I am accepting the change (do I have a choice?)

This year is also the year of the Canadian Geese.  I awoke one morning and when I looked out; I saw an armada of around 200 geese in front of the beach.  They were not pooping on the beach though; they kept putting their butts in the air as they were pecking at grass under the water.  My local geese were there but the bulk of the geese were migrating south so they were stocking up on food under the water. One morning I was up early enough to see them all fly in formation to the lake and then watched as they parted in groups to different parts of the lake to feed near shore. The migrant ducks were here for three weeks but they have since left because of the cold, I think. I really am fortunate and have no reason to be disappointed in anything yet I do miss the antics of the golden finch. They gave me a reason to always be looking out the windows.

Do you have a loved one who only likes practical gifts?  This article gave me so much info on things that I did not know existed.  Even if I am not aware of how to use them, someone younger in my family will know.  Imagine their surprise to get one of these items and the knowledge that I will also receive.  Who knows, maybe I will get  one  of these for me.

We are in the midst of a lot of preparation for Christmas.  One preparation that you may not be aware of is the energy you can use in preparation for the Winter Solstice.  I was not aware of just what an opportunity we have at this time.  Do you remember 12-12?  Well, Archangel Gabriel is giving advice on how to use this powerful time to your best benefit. I know this is adding another thing for you to do but it can be as small as 2 minutes a day and you will be rewarded greatly. Let’s bring in the LIGHT.

Do you know someone with dyslexia?  A font has been created just for them to make it much easier for them to understand what they are reading.  Isn’t it great that we live in a time of such great inventions? Pass the  word along.

Here is a perfect example of how tragedy brought out compassion and love in 12th graders.  The children are not aware yet of the greatest lesson they ever learned from their beloved teacher. This is the true  meaning  of Christmas.

Ok, Ok, I am going down memory lane.  Isn’t that what Christmas is all about?  Do you remember your Christmases as a child?  We thought it was agonizing to wait soooo long for it to get here but we certainly did a lot of smiling.
