4月27日 Reason, Season or Lifetime? PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met,
our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now
it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and
put what you have learned to use in all
other relationships and areas of your life. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime. 4月26日 Compassion For ChildrenI learned compassion while I raised my children and as they grew, my perception of compassion grew ... not just for my children but for the world's children. I realized that this world will never be truly safe for my children until it is safe for ALL children ... I can give my child every possible advantage and opportunity but if they encounter a child who is desperately lacking those advantages and opportunities, the child without can not help but play out the actions of envy. In playgrounds and neighborhoods near us, envy exhibits itself in the most violent ways. The answer is not to stop nurturing my children. The answer is to offer nurture and support to all children ...
Compassion without attachment is possible. Therefore, we need to clarify the distinctions between compassion and attachment. True compassion is not just an emotional response but a firm commitment founded on reason. Because of this firm foundation, a truly compassionate attitude toward others does not change even if they behave negatively. Genuine compassion is based not on our own projections and expectations, but rather on the needs of the other: Irrespective of whether another person is a close friend
or an enemy, as long as that person wishes for peace and happiness and wishes to overcome suffering, then on that basis we develop genuine concern for their problem. This is genuine compassion. The goal is to develop this genuine compassion, this genuine wish for the well-being of another, in fact for every living being throughout the universe. -- from The Compassionate Life" by Tenzin Gyatso, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama 4月24日 Peace
4月22日 Seeing The Big PictureSometimes, in the hustle and bustle of the day, we forget that there is a bigger picture ... that life is more than the current troubles of the day. This past week has certainly left us with moments to pause and consider our place in the big picture. It would be easy to lose hope and become discouraged. Take just a moment to close your eyes and breath in the goodness of this new day. Imagine yourself in the happiest place you have ever been and give thanks for that moment. Calm yourself and continue to breath in and out slowly until you feel the goodness that surrounds you. Although there is very little that we can do about what is happening around up, who we are and how we feel about this moment is completely within our control. Like the commercial says, life comes at you fast, but you have within you the power to be your own hero. Every experience, good or bad, will give you insight that you can use for the rest of your journey ... and because I do believe that everything happens for a reason ... There is something in every conversation, every argument, every experience, whether it is great or small, that will prepare us for where we are going next. It is too much for us to absorb every single truth that comes our way ... but if we consciouly look for those truths, we are probably going to see more than if we didn't look at all. Don't worry too much if you miss something important. God, Spirit or whatever you choose to call your higher power will continue to send you information and insights to prepare you for whatever is coming up. But to receive those insights and find meaning in the midst of the chaos, we have to find a way of ... Allowing Spirit In
Speaking of staring at the stars, April will inspire you!
Have you ever seen a meteor shower? TONIGHT could be the night! This year the Lyrid meteor shower is predicted to peak around 6PM ET on April 22nd -- good timing for Asia but in daylight for North America. The shower is generally at least half as strong as its maximum for about 30 hours, so North American observers should be able to catch its rising and falling phases in the early-morning hours of April 22nd and 23rd, respectively. The Lyrids are usually weak, with a typical peak rate of 20 meteors per hour or less visible under ideal conditions. But the shower has exhibited surprise outbursts in the past, so it’s well worth monitoring.
Have you ever seen a comet? On March 15, Terry Lovejoy of Thornlands, Queensland, Australia, discovered a 9th-magnitude comet in the southern constellation Indus the Indian. In reporting the find to the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (CBAT) in Cambridge, Mass., Lovejoy described the comet as having a coma that appeared distinctly green in color, with a slight extension to the southwest. Remarkably, Lovejoy made the discovery not with a telescope but using an off-the-shelf digital camera! In fact, it appears to be the very first case of the discovery of a comet discovered in this manner. The images were obtained during a comet-hunting survey that Lovejoy has been conducting for more than two years. The first independent confirmation was obtained by John Drummond (Possum Observatory, Gisborne, New Zealand) on March 16. He used a 41-cm reflector and visually estimated the magnitude as 9.5 -- about 15 times dimmer than the faintest sky objects that can be seen without optical aid. Drummond estimated the coma diameter as 2.6 arc minutes (roughly equal to about 1/12 that of the apparent width of the moon). Comet Lovejoy will be progressing north during April and will soon become favorably placed for observation for observers in the Northern Hemisphere. Comet Lovejoy will (unfortunately) not become a naked-eye object; it probably will get no brighter than magnitude +7.5. That's still about two and a half times fainter than the faintest naked-eye star. But it still should continue to be an interesting object to follow with binoculars and small telescopes as it moves north during April. For most northern observers, it will not be until the second week of April that Comet Lovejoy will emerge from out of the dawn twilight and be positioned low in the southeast sky.

Whatever you focus on will grow stronger and more influential in your world. Choose to focus on creative, innovative, loving, respectful and Those who obsess over assigning blame only If you give your energy to fear and hatred, The future is as bright and beautiful as you decide to see it. -- Ralph Marston
I write about positive things and healing but sometimes, it's me that needs healing too, so sometimes when you feel like I am writing for you, I have to tell you that I am writing for me too. At some point in our life, all of us will experience some sort of loss and a need for HEALING. Understanding the process won't make it any easier when it happens to us but KNOWING that we can heal is a good place to start ... 4月12日 The Cutest Kids!
4月11日 Every Woman Needs To KnowFemale Heart Attacks Symptoms Every woman should know the facts and what to do. There us a study that men have blockages in the larger arteries whereas women have blockages of the smaller arteries of the heart. This is why there aren't as many bypass surgeries on women. I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is the best description I've ever read. You all take care out there! Women and Heart Attacks (Myocardial infarction) Did you know that women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have when experiencing heart attack...you know, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest & dropping to the floor that we see in the movies. Here is the story of one woman's experience with a heart attack: I had a completely unexpected heart attack at about 10:30 pm with NO prior exertion; NO prior emotional trauma that one would suspect might've brought it on. I was sitting all snugly & warm on a cold evening, with my purring cat in my lap, reading an interesting story my friend had sent me, and actually thinking, A-A-h, this is the life, all cozy and warm in my soft, cushy Lazy Boy with my feet propped up. A moment later, I felt that awful sensation of indigestion, when you've been in a hurry and grabbed a bite of sandwich and washed it down with a dash of water, and that hurried bite seems to feel like you've swallowed a golf ball going down the esophagus in slow motion and it is most uncomfortable. You realize you shouldn't have gulped it down so fast and needed to chew it more thoroughly and this time drink a glass of water to hasten its progress down to the stomach. This was my initial sensation---the only trouble was that I hadn't taken a bite of anything since about 5:00 p.m. After that had seemed to subside, the next sensation was like little squeezing motions that seemed to be racing up my SPINE (hind-sight, it was probably my aorta spasming), gaining speed as they continued racing up and under my sternum (breast bone, where one presses rhythmically when administering CPR). This fascinating process continued on into my throat and branched out into both jaws. AHA!! NOW I stopped puzzling about what was happening--we all have read and/or heard about pain in the jaws being one of the signals of an MI happening, haven't we? I said aloud to myself and the cat, "Dear God, I think I'm having a heart attack !" I lowered the foot rest, dumping the cat from my lap, started to take a step and fell on the floor instead. I thought to myself "If this is a heart attack, I shouldn't be walking into the next room where the phone is or anywhere else.......but, on the other hand, if I don't, nobody will know that I need help, and if I wait any longer I may not be able to get up in moment. I pulled myself up with the arms of the chair, walked slowly into the next room and dialed the Paramedics. I told her I thought I was having a heart attack due to the pressure building under the sternum and radiating into my jaws. I didn't feel hysterical or afraid, just stating the facts. She said she was sending the Paramedics over immediately, asked if the front door was near to me, and if so, to unbolt the door and then lie down on the floor where they could see me when they came in. I then laid down on the floor as instructed and lost consciousness, as I don't remember the medics coming in, their examination, lifting me onto a gurney or getting me into their ambulance, or hearing the call they made to St. Jude ER on the way, but I did briefly awaken when we arrived and saw that the Cardiologist was already there in his surgical blues and cap, helping the medics pull my stretcher out of the ambulance. He was bending over me asking questions (probably something like "Have you taken any medications?") but I couldn't make my mind interpret what he was saying, or form an answer, and nodded off again, not waking up until the Cardiologist and partner had already threaded the teeny angiogram balloon up my femoral artery into the aorta and into my heart where they installed 2 side by side stents to hold open my right coronary artery. I know it sounds like all my thinking and actions at home must have taken at least 20-30 minutes before calling the Paramedics, but actually it took perhaps 4-5 minutes before the call, and both the fire station and St. Jude are only minutes away from my home, and my Cardiologist was all ready to go to the OR in his scrubs and get going on restarting my heart (which had stopped somewhere between my arrival and the procedure) and installing the stents. Why have I written all of this to you with so much detail? Because I want all of you to know what I learned first hand. 1. Be aware that something very different is happening in your body-- not the usual men's symptoms, but inexplicable things happening (until my sternum and jaws got into the act ). It is said that many more women than men die of their first (and last) MI because they didn't know they were having one, and commonly mistake it as indigestion, take some Maalox or other anti-heartburn preparation, and go to bed, hoping they'll feel better in the morning when they wake up...which doesn't happen. My female friends, your symptoms might not be exactly like mine, so I advise you to call the Paramedics if ANYTHING is unpleasantly happening that you've not felt before. It is better to have a "false alarm" visitation than to risk your life guessing what it might be! 2. Note that I said "Call the Paramedics". Ladies, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! Do NOT try to drive yourself to the ER--you're a hazard to others on the road, and so is your panicked husband who will be speeding and looking anxiously at what's happening with you instead of the road. Do NOT call your doctor--he doesn't know where you live and if it's at night you won't reach him anyway, and if it's daytime, his assistants (or answering service) will tell you to call the Paramedics. He doesn't carry the equipment in his car that you need to be saved! The Paramedics do, principally OXYGEN that you need ASAP. Your Dr. will be notified later. 3. Don't assume it couldn't be a heart attack because you have a normal cholesterol count. Research has discovered that a cholesterol elevated reading is rarely the cause of an MI (unless it's unbelievably high and/or accompanied by high blood pressure.) MI's are usually caused by long-term stress and inflammation in the body, which dumps all sorts of deadly hormones into your system to sludge things up in there. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive. 4月9日 Yesterday ...
4月7日 Southern Flowers for Easter
4月4日 Healing Creek and Foggy Woods
There is something quiet and soothing about being wrapped in a morning fog Where you can't look too far ahead or too far in the past ... Where each step is a new discovery, A chance to live in the NOW. There is something magical about waking up to the sound of birds in Spring and walking along a slow moving river, and hearing the water pass over, under and around the river rocks, gurgling greetings to the day ... Peacefully resting in the NOW. Sending quiet comfort, magical beginnings, birdsongs and peaceful greetings to your day! 4月2日 Pictures From The Creek
