Perhaps, I am not walking in slow…though I am always Gentle… God willing I will wake up on New Year’s Day I plan on waking up in the dark, step outside unmasked, watch the sunrise, do a 360 rotation of the view and breath in that gift of breath! I will also continue counting down the days until our main water line is replaced…so all that precious clean water will no longer be wasted!!! as it flows down the road to the creek..The utility has been out, the plumbing contractor lined up, the electrician, waiting for the permit to be issued and the underground locate person to come out…find an open spot in the contractors schedule, they’ll bring along flaggers for traffic control…I hope the boring machine will not be really noisy and pray that our beautiful Maple Tree( above the water line) lives through what has happened to some of the main roots… We will continue to take each day as it comes…and be grateful for each day…We Must Go Forward!!! Joy, Love, Good Health and Peace to your and your family and all of your loyal readers in the upcoming New Year…Kindly, Christie
Oh and of course I will continue on with Prayer…one need I do pray about is the state of Our World…as well as many, many other people and situations all over the World…We must Have Compassion & Love for others…
Always time to live in the moment regardless of the calendar. “All that is” requires courage and kindness…personally and as an example for those whose lives we touch. [I’m doing my best to avoid the “news” that we’re all facing the increase of covid death and illness, and geological disasters, but through it all we can honor the inner Light in each of us–no matter what is going on in our outer world of time and space.]
Beautiful Valerie. Your thoughts remind me so much of Maggie Smith’s words:
Be careful not to poison yourself with your own anger, your own fear. Do one thing today to let in some light—that golden antivenin—instead. You cannot be cured of the darkness that’s touched you, but you can survive it: can and will.
KEEP MOVING.
