DOES AGE MATTER?

Posted on by

Beloved,

I celebrated my 80th birthday this past week.  Age has never meant much to me and I am truthful when asked my age but I had an AHA moment when I received a birthday card from a friend.  IT HAD A HUGE 80 RIGHT ON THE FRONT. When I read that, my immediate reaction was: “I am not that old, I do not feel that old, how can I be that old.”  Until I was faced with that fact in black and white, I had been in neutral.  See how much power the printed word or numbers have.  I was immediately sent back to my beliefs about being 80.  When do we make these beliefs in our minds?  Usually when we are children and to a child, 80 in soooo old.  Then we see our parents and grandparents age and the deep impression of what “old” is implanted in our brains. In our young minds, we will never get “that” old and we don’t worry about it because we are taking our youth for granted.

I have never had a birthday party so I decided I would throw one for myself with my immediate family.  I thought about having it catered but then my son reminded me of all the clean-up I would need to do afterwards. I decided to go to my favorite restaurant, Diane’s Villa Nova in Holland, Ma.  It is an Italian family run restaurant whose chef is very familiar with cooking Gluten Free meals as he needs to be gluten free also. I need to be GF and I have children, grandchildren and a great grandson who also need to be gluten free. Yet, all the “regular “eaters were captivated with their food also. I used my age as a good reason for us all to get together as it had been 15 years since we had all been together at the same time.

Diane had bought me a beautiful floral arrangement for our table and my granddaughter had brought me orchids.  The table was so full with us that we needed to put the flowers aside but they were beautiful. I even got serenaded by my family and a team of young basketball players who were having a party of their own.  My kids surprised me by hiring a friend of my granddaughter’s to take pictures of the occasion.  That was the best gift they could have given me as we are all going to receive a CD and we can have any or all of them printed out. I don’t have the CD yet but I am eager to see what it will show.  I really want a picture of all of us together that I can put up on the wall.

Why do so many of us humans put off getting together with our families except maybe for the holidays?  Is it because when we get together, there is still the competition, rivalry and jealousy that we felt as a child?  Let me tell you that when you get to my age, there is none of that. What is left is the joy in seeing yourself in the different ages that sit at your table and you remember just what it felt like when you were young and at that stage of life. No matter what drama is playing out, the feelings are still the same as when you were young. No matter what you think about the “times” we are in, so much remains the same.

Bob Dylan returns to the Orpheum Theatre in Minnesota to perform an updated version of “The Times They Are A-Changin’.”

Your reality changes as your age changes. Age is when you realize that all in the past was as it was meant to be in order to get the wisdom that you have today.  Check out this wisdom: Control Your Reality by Esther (Abraham) Hicks.

Times are a-changing and with that, new developments are being made. Dementia and Alzheimer’s are right at the forefront of most symptoms of aging. My aunt and my mom had dementia and so I have personal experience of that torment but guess what?  A cure is on its way and this is just the beginning.  Hope is right here and  changes  are right around the corner.

With the Olympics hoopla going on, there is so much proof that age is not a factor.  A mom won a gold medal, how about that for change. I am so proud and full of hope for humanity when I see what the younger ones are doing. Here is proof again of what the younger generation is bringing to the whole planet.  Check this out and smile as these young ones bring so much joy and hope.

I just had to send this to you.  Notice the expression on the little critter’s face. It took a big, tough cop to bring compassion and laughter to thissituation.

IS YOUR COMMUNICATION IN GOOD WORKING ORDER?

Posted on by

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.

IS YOUR REALITY “‘REAL”?

Posted on by

Beloved,

Where does the time go? It feels like I have just turned my head
and now it is so close to winter. Thanksgiving is next week which
always brings to mind what I am grateful for.

One of the things is my kayak and my ability to launch it whenever
I wish. I do go by how windy it is and how rough is the water but
it changes hourly and sometimes in a minute, so I am grateful for
the times that I can wait it out. I went out last Monday on Veterans’
Day and when I started out it was calm but halfway around the lake,
the wind picked up and soon I was being rocked by the waves. Of
course it makes it much more difficult to row and it took me much
longer to get back to my beach but I looked at it as the lake was
giving me one more time to feel like I was being rocked in a cradle.

My son Steve came over yesterday to help me do the last minute
preparations for winter that I can’t do myself and we put my
kayak to rest for the winter. This is a bittersweet time for me
as I much prefer the warmer and snowless seasons.

Well, this morning as I looked out at the lake as I do every morning
when I raise my blinds, the water was like glass. Of course, it
was 31 degrees and the water is calmer at the colder temperatures.
I so appreciate the mirror effect when I can see all the mountains,
trees and houses reflected in the water. It gives me such an expanded
view and reminds me that we are all mirrors for each other. So if
I see someone doing something I don’t like, I am reminded that the
perceived flaw is in me also because I wouldn’t notice anything if
I had no opinions about it. Life is funny that way. When you have
no buttons to be pushed, life is peaceful and serene because you are
also.

I joked with the lake that it was just teasing me because it knew
that I couldn’t go out in it. As I looked out later I saw strips of
water that were rippling. Not over the whole lake so the strips
were stopping the reflections in parts. What a funny feeling to
see the wind playing with the water in spots so that most of the lake
was still and yet the strips made the reflection so different from
the “real thing”. This scenario made me realize just how much the
wind can alter our opinions of what we are seeing.

Life is like that. The “Winds of Change” alter our perspectives
of what is occurring in our lives and what seems “real” and isn’t.
Pay attention to how the “winds’ are blowing. Is it “real” or is it
just an altered reflection of what is real? With some parts of the
truth missing, just what perspective are you seeing? Know that all
of life changes in every moment depending on whom you are with or
what “truth” or “reality” you are observing.

Happy Thanksgiving. I have so much to be grateful for and the very
fact that I am alive and kicking is #1. I am grateful for you for
without you, I would have no reason to write a newsletter and put
to paper my thoughts or feel that perhaps I am spreading good cheer
and hopefully inspiration. We do need each other and awareness of
this blessing jumps out at me every time I eat. How many people
contributed to my food from its inception(seed), to the planting,
to the reaping, to the packaging, to the transportation, to the store
who stores it for me to buy, to the people in the store that are there
to serve me. I cannot do it alone!

This link shows what we can do together even when we are not aware
that we are not alone.
