Morning Thoughts...

Good Morning Sweet Mystery of Life!

MotherFather God...

I Thank You for this day!

I Thank You for the wisdom of The Elders,

who light our way...

Sweet Grandfathers and Grandmothers

who share right relations

with Earth, Air, Water, Fire

Spirit...Self.

Teaching us to walk in balance and harmony

with Mother Earth and Father Sky

and with one another.

Bless them as they walk their walk

and share their wisdom with us.

Bless Grandmother Tonya Whitedeer,

Grandmother Agnes Pilgrim Baker,

Grandmother Elizabeth Araujo,

Grandmother Shalahnia,

Grandmother Edna Gordon

Grandmother Ruby Moon,

Grandmother Dancingfire,

and many more...

for it is in their knowledge, Sweet Mystery, that

I have learned much, and continue to learn.

May I never stop!

I Thank You for the cold and crispness

of this winter morning.

For the clouds which cover my view

of Father Sky...for in this too lies a lesson,

that I might not always see what is directly

in front of me, but if I close my eyes

I can see with my heart.

I Thank You for the help of my Dear Daughter,

who was funny, helpful, and gentle yesterday.

I Thank You for my Doctor who is truly

connected with her patients.

I Thank You for Pharmacists who are

patient and kind as I ask questions.

Mostly Lord and Lady...

I just Thank You for Life!

Now in this moment...

In all my moments, Sweet Creator,

I Thank You!!!

A'HO!

I'm getting another rather late start to my day here,

although I've been up quite a while doing this

and that.  I've already made phone calls that

needed to be taken care of as there was a snafu

with an appointment with one of my Doctors...

now I don't have to go until February and then

I have two that month.

Yesterday was a great day, albeit a little tiring.

My Doctor is soooo great! :)

She is so patient and really listens to my

concerns and works with me to address

each one of them.  Ultimately, because I've

had good numbers being on several medicines

I take, I am now able to back off on the dosage

which pleases me greatly!

I no longer have to take such a high dose of

Metformin (for Diabetes) as my blood sugar

has dropped considerably and my weight

has dropped twelve more pounds. 

I've lost 43 pounds all total and I'm

over the moon happy with that!

Yahoooooo!

Now I can concentrate on the last 25-30 lbs.

with ease.  I've been fitting into some

clothes I haven't been able to wear in a while.

Also I was able to cut down on two other meds

I take so all in all it was a great day...

Then I transferred to another pharmacy

and can have everything delivered

at no charge...you can't get any better

than that, eh?  Of course I was worn out

by the time I had everything taken

care of but I love that feeling of

accomplishment that comes from working

towards something.

I want to say a huge Thank You to my new

Sisters here on Stone Soup...I welcome

you with open arms and heart and can't

wait for your ideas and comments

to be shared with us here.

The Circle of Sisters grows stronger...

I love that we all beat to our own drum

yet collectively stand in love and unity.

The Grandmothers of All Time

will bless our endeavors

when we stand strong in harmony, peace,

love and unity.

Here it is Friday already...

where did the week go?

Have you noticed how time has

sped up?  I have.  In the blink of an eye

the day, week, month, year is gone.

Time is so illusory.

What will you do with your weekend?

Staying in?  Going out?

Mine will be spent at home, finishing up

reading the book "Mean Spirit" by Linda Hogan...

a novel of the Osage Indian tribe and its

cultural disintegration as the white world

intrusively takes over, and then I'd like to

finish reading Wisdom Keepers by

Harvey Arden and Steve Wall...

this book has me crying at every turn of

the page as I read about the Elders...

some are tears of laughter, some are tears

of joy and some are tears of sorrow and

pain as each Elder shares their life story.

It's beautiful and poignant and a must

read in my humble opinion.

I also must do some cleaning as this

week has gotten away from me...

right now I hear my dishes calling my name

but first I need to check in with all of you...

so they can continue to call, he he he.

My wish for you today is that you

all have the wisdom of a Grandfather

or Grandmother to listen to...

they share such sweet stories,

and all we can learn from.

In Divine and Sisterly Love!
