GOODNESS AND JOY REIGN

Beloved,

Are you enjoying this summer? It has such a variety of temperatures that everyone has something they like. The brutal winter we experienced is a thing of the past, or is it? I could not believe my ears but was told that the Farmer’s Almanac has predicted three winters in a row like the one we just had. I don’t want to put a damper on your summer but want to give you a reason to appreciate deeply what we have right now. Enjoy every moment and every day.

Two nights this week I went to an old fashioned concert on the green of neighboring towns. What a joy that was to watch the little children having the room to run anywhere they chose and so they did. There were two little girls ( sisters?) who brought such delight to all of us as they ran around, looked at everyone, played ball with someone else’s beach balls and the scenario where the older one was teaching the younger one to do the tumbling tumbleweeds. The younger one was having a problem with the last push she needed to roll over so the older one went over and just gave her a gentle push on her button and over she went. They were dancing up a storm and participating in the music. The parents gave them each a dollar and they got a bag of popcorn. They so enjoyed every bite and so did we as we watched them enjoying every moment of their time there. The owners of the beach balls (strangers?), at the end of the concert, gave each one of the girls the blow up beach ball they had so enjoyed. I can still feel the joy they had shared so contagiously with all of us. I feel it inside and then see myself doing what they were doing. It is so invigorating. Try it.

The geese are still visiting us and it is funny to watch them when we put something new into “their” space. The wolf/fox does not do what it was supposed to do; in fact, they stay right in front of it while munching on the grass or while they preen. There is a swan (fake) in the area now but it is so small that they just avoid that particular part of the water and continue with what they want to do. It is hilarious to watch what they do when a “new” occupant shows up. They were even diving under water and coming back up with their huge wings aflapping. I believe they were testing the swan to see if it would come after them. It floats and the surges of the water does turn it around and make it wobble but I think it is just its size that makes it ineffective. I found some plastic swans that are large but they only have the top half of their bodies. I will tell our president and perhaps we could both go and look at them. I think if we put Styrofoam underneath because they are hollow, they would float. There are four of them, three with the neck down in attack mode and one with the head up. I will keep you posted.

Tomorrow, I get to use my scooter again and go on a bus trip. This time it is to New Hampshire to a lighthouse and then to a lobster fest where they have the best steamed clams. The big draw for me is the food but I am so excited to be able to be going. It will be a lot of fun. Enjoy what this season is offering us, the freedom and the joy that is there for the asking. We are being given a lot of opportunities to release thoughts and habits that keep us stuck. Be a child again and willing to embrace the new changes that are here.

Watch this and be aware that these are adults having the time of their life spontaneously. You don’t have to be a kid to have fun.

Lee Harris has some suggestions and they make a lot of sense to me. In fact, when I self judge, I do what he suggests.

This article has many truths and some perspectives that may challenge you a little bit. In other words, there is a lot of food for thought.

There was so many this week from www.goodnewsnetwork.org that I am having a problem choosing which ones to send to you. You can subscribe to this yourself if you would like a pick me up once a week. These prove that everyone has a purpose and there are so many ways to send the same message. I like to have my certainty of the goodness of the human race proven to me, over and over, with different scenarios and different people playing those roles.

IS HAPPINESS YOURS FOR KEEPS?

Beloved,

Summer is finally here even if only for a short while. It was 45 degrees last night but today is already 70 degrees so the cool nights are not too bad. I love to kayak which I can do most of the year but going in the water is something else. Once the nights get warmer around 55-65 degrees, the water warms up. It is the warm nights that warm the water and why the water cools down even if the days are in the 80’s.I am enjoying going in the water because it seems to be such a short time before fall is here.

Do you remember when I used to tell you about the Canadian geese and my attempts to keep them from coming to our beach? If it wasn’t for their poop, they would be more welcome. Well, another crusader to ban the geese has come to take over for me. She is our new treasurer and is adamant that she is tired of raking up the poop and will find a way to deter them. She wanted to try the whirly gigs that turn with a breeze so I offered mine to her to try so she wouldn’t have to buy them. They work well for me when the baby geese are small and they crawl under the fence. Since they can’t fly, the parents need to come over the fence and herd them back, leaving their markings on my grass. This year I did not need to use them as the babies did not come that close to the fence, maybe the geese parents remember and keep them from it now. Since I had tried them on the beach and they did not work, I did not hold out too much hope but she wanted to try.

I watched as the geese stayed in the circle of water created by the buoys that keep boats out of the swimming area. They would venture forward to see what would happen and when nothing did, they proceeded as usual. Yesterday I noticed something brown on the beach and it seemed hunched over but I could not make out the details even with my binoculars. So I went out this morning to see exactly what it was. I had been watching the geese and they were staying away from it except for one who decided he was going to be the one to test the waters. There is always one in every crowd, isn’t there, that will go where no one else wants to go? I was chuckling as slowly he would get closer and nothing happened. The other geese settled on the beach further away but this one decided to pretend to be eating the grass as it inched closer and closer to this thing. When nothing happened and that thing did not move, they all settled down to munching.

I thought it was worthy of chuckles so I wanted to share it with you. I went down to see what it actually was and it turned out to be a plastic coyote or fox. It was hard plastic and hunched over in body form with the face close to the ground with a snarling mouth that show teeth and the tail was dragging on the ground. That made me laugh at loud. If a decoy does not move, it is not real to the predator. This coyote/fox needed to be higher up so the breeze could make it move. A couple of years ago (before this person was on board), we had tried a fox/coyote as they were supposed to scare geese away. We tried only one on one side of the beach to see if it would work. This one had fur and the head moved and so did the beautiful fur tail when the wind would blow. It had seemed to be working, at least on one side of the beach and all of a sudden, it disappeared. Someone stole it and we never did find it again. This woman is very dedicated to getting rid of the geese and I had told her all we had done but nothing worked. I had suggested a floating swan as geese are afraid of it and one of our neighbors has put one in the water near their raft and it appeared to work. The movement of the water made it move around so the geese never knew where it would be. Perhaps her next attempt will be a swan. I hope so as I feel that will work but it is great to have someone trying so hard to alter this one drawback of having a beach. I cannot chase the geese anymore as I can’t walk that much without pain. They used to know my voice and if I hollered “GO” from my deck they would leave most of the time. But they are smart and they would test me occasionally to see if I would actually walk down there to scare them away. I used to carry a pail so I could throw water at them which would make a splash and frighten them. Yet they knew when I wasn’t home. They would even see me leave so they could come and when my car turned on the street, they would skedaddle. They are smart and good adversaries. Animals are so much fun unless they are invading your territory.

IS YOUR COMMUNICATION IN GOOD WORKING ORDER?

Beloved,

Well, my communication devices are now up and running, although my intuition, another communication device, did not work as well when my focus had to be on 3rd dimension matters. I now have a working phone and I have retrieved my phone number of 19 Years that was taken without my knowledge. I had been given a new phone number which no one knew about including me and the phone company that gave it to me. I called my son, Bruce and while he was asking why I had been incommunicado for so long, he happened to look at his phone and a new number was showing there. I had no idea that had happened since a new wire had been run and my phone was working now. Several appointments with Charter had to be rescheduled but they had put my cell phone # on a different page and although I kept calling to find out why they were not here and repeatedly giving my cell phone number, they kept trying to call the # they had taken away and then sent me 4 emails about rescheduling even though my internet was not working and they were trying to fix it?????? This happened twice, both on Tuesdays which is my Yoga day and I was not able to go as long as I was waiting for them to show up. So I was even more stressed out and my intuition and guidance were definitely not on target, just like my other devices. What an exercise in surrender and “This too shall pass”. My patience muscle has had a lot of exercise and is even stronger now. I had thought it was all about Mercury Retrograde but it lasted too long for it to be just that. Boy, is it hard to try to stay grounded and listen to your guidance when all the events in your life are thrown up in the air? I am sure you know exactly what I am talking about.

This is a two minute meditation from Esther Hicks which I used to bring me peace just when I was ready to lose it.

I am so glad to be back to normal. I truly appreciate the humdrum of everyday life; it feels so good to breathe. How about you? We all seem to be experiencing the same energy but it is playing out in different scenarios. I bet our dramas would make good fodder for a Sitcom comedy show. I wrote out four pages of dates, names and scenarios if anyone is interested in a script. This message from Aluna Joy gives a pretty good description of what is going on.
