All Is Well...

First of all let me put everyone's mind at rest and say that I am well and safe.
Several of you have written today wanting to know if I am alright and to let you know...So here I am to put everyone's worries to rest.   I didn't mean to 
worry anyone.  I've just been taking some time away to figure out some things in my life as well as to enjoy my new home and be fully engaged with my friends and family here in my hometown.   

I have also been taking time centering my heart each morning before I begin my day and focusing on what I need or want to accomplish each day.  For the past several years in spite of waking each morning and having prayer time, I've bought into the 'got to get on Blogger and post something' and then popping into blogs and reading as well as leaving a little shout out for each of you because I love ya! :)  Now, well, I want to take time upon rising to pay attention to what feeds my spirit as I was getting pretty depleted.  Spending inordinate amounts of time in front of the computer screen is just not healthy by any stretch of the imagination especially when I'd forget all else around me.  When I moved in May I really started to change internally...my spirit was calling me to make changes long before I moved and so when I got a little settled in here, I began this new walk.  I love what I'm doing now.  There are subtle changes happening within...and paying attention to myself after not having done so for so long feels so right and good.  Yes, I was doing the daily mundane but my heart had checked out of my home life and I think I was not paying as much attention to my family and friends here as I perhaps should have.  I don't know if I'm making any sense to you at all but I am doing what is best for me at this junction in my life.

I have also struggled with Blogger in general...finding it ever more increasingly difficult to use Blogger platform in general, not being able to upload pics to share, etc., and I have been thinking more and more of moving my blog elsewhere.  In addition, I have also felt that what I have to share with you isn't really all that important.  I guess just blogging in general is on hold for me.  I don't know what has prompted this feeling within but I cannot ignore it.  Either I make peace with blogging or forget it all together....the only reason I am able to post a pic this evening is because I'm using Mozilla and I prefer Windows.  So....that is where I am at right now...

On a lighter note...my Fairy Garden is built and looking mighty wild, my tiny garden on my deck is finally showing signs of bringing me some veges before the growing season is finished.  I also had a visit from two of my first cousins on my Mom's side of the family on the 13th of this month...one lives in Georgia and the other is moving to Pennsylvania so that was fun connecting with them.  I took them to visit our last remaining Aunt (other than in-laws) and Great Aunties.  My elderly Aunt lives in an assisted living home a few blocks from here so we had a nice visit with her.  As well, I've been reading lots of good books this year that have filled my heart in more ways than I can share.  

I am loving my new home more and more and feeling comfortable and secure and am so happy I manifested this geographical change in my life.  My spirit really needed a fresh perspective and it has been that.  I've been noticing how lighter my body feels in general.

I leave you with this quote this evening and a prayer that your sweet spirits are at peace.  May joy be before you and behind you, above you and below you, and deep within you.  I love you very, very much...
