thanks for the memories
posted 11/16





my sis came to visit
this afternoon...
we had a wonderful
couple of hours...
her house had been
broken into a couple
of months back...
she was devastated
that she'd lost a lot
of jewelry that was stolen
in the process...
including a precious spoon
belonging to our great aunt
[her namesake] that had been
made into a bracelet...
so we went through all
of my inherited stuff...
some of which was our mother's...
we lovingly handled her
charm bracelet
that i had wrapped up
in one of my dad's old
hankies...
as we fingered each charm
and heard that familiar
jingle it conjured
up a distinct tinkling sound
that took us both back 
to happier times...
each piece had a memory
and a time to embrace
in our hearts...
she also brought a
booklet for me to
look at...
a family tree that one of
our cousins had made
of our ancestry...
the pictures were priceless
and a couple that we'd never
seen before of three generations
past...
again...
priceless...
thank you Deb
for the memories...
i love you!

i am setting
a tall order
for myself
this month...
each day
i am
going to
give thanks
for something...
be it small
or large
it will not
go unnoticed...
this will be
my first thank you...
thank you
my beloved friends
for taking the time
to come here
today
and for being
interested
in what i
have to say...
you are appreciated
more than
you will ever know...
may many blessings
be bestowed upon you all...
and may you be showered
with all the fairy dust
you need
right at this
very moment...
thank you!

somehow i knew
that by making a
statement like...
each day
i am
going to
give thanks
for something...
i would be tested!
yup! the very next
morning (today)
we are cleaning
out the bathroom
readying it for
the contractor to come
monday...
and i'm finally
putting my plants
where they should
be in the living room...
and cleaning up a storm
weeeeelllll...
hubby and i have
a hard time
working together
at the best of times...
i know best
he knows best...
and we sometimes clash
which we did
in full force
today...
had the biggest
row we've had
for the longest time!
disgruntled for
most of the day
i suddenly remembered
my vow...
so i stopped in
mid tracks
and said
silently
to myself
(he had gone off
into another room by then)
i am thankful for my husband!
wasn't sure i meant it at the time...
but i knew it had to be done!
i really am thankful...
i'm thankful for having
a husband for nigh
on 25 years now this month...
it is a surprise
given our temperaments...
but love conquers all
doesn't it?
i think so...
and so today
i am thankful
for a house
to live in
even though
i grumbled
throughout
all the cleaning
i did this weekend...
and i am thankful
for a good guy
who sticks with me
through thick and thin...
the fairy dust is sparkling...
one more day....

he looked tired
yet vindicated
he looked sad
yet elated
and i believe
he knows
his grandmother
is more powerful
now as his guardian
angel...
my heart goes out to him
for the burden he will carry...
may god keep him safe
and may he accomplish
with our help
all that is promised
for our world...
today i am thankful
to be a part
of such a
magnificent
day in history...
change is on the way!

life lessons
posted 11/6

i subscribe to a group called
the messenger network....
at its head is a man called
robert evans...

this was his message today:

"A spiritual principle I learned from Conversations with God, says - "When you call something forth into your life, everything unlike it often comes first."  This is a powerful spiritual principle to understand and embrace in life. The energy at the beginning of 2008 was our big "calling forth" of the new human experience. What's happening in our country and the world - financially, fear, separation - is the "everything unlike it."  What does this mean to us as messengers?

I believe it is perfect as it is. I believe it opened the door to what happened today and will start a "new and more powerful" collective energy to build across the world. I believe today was a BIG new calling for more messengers to step out, find your message, share it, and to inspire others to do the same. Let today be the day that shook you awake and start the momentum towards you being in your own passion and purpose and to contribute in any way, big or small, to the collective energy that will shift us towards that beautiful new human experience."

while his words were referring to
the election yesterday...
and i believe no truer words
were spoken...
it also hit at a more personal level...
his quote from conversations with god
when you call something forth
into your life
everything unlike it
often comes first
resonated deeply within me
and my exercise for the month
came back to hit me between
the eyes...

i have never been very good
at talking about myself
(it's an english thing)
and am beginning to
realize that
by starting this blog
it is forcing me to
do so...



















on monday
i became embroiled
in a discourse online
with a group that i had
never visited before...
it doesn't matter what group...
suffice it to say
i will not visit it again...
initially i went there
to voice my opinon
on a subject that
was brought to my attention...

my opinion was greeted
with sarcasm, anger and
derisive comments...
and became a personal attack
on me and not my opinion...

my first mistake was
to bring myself to their level
and respond
attack with attack...
it was an unconscious
need to defend myself
yet it was wrong...
in essence, i became
like them...
thank the lord (and i really do)
this fact was very quickly pointed
out to me in no uncertain
terms...
and thank the lord (again)
i was able to retract
as best as i was able
the horns that i was
so surprised to see
still existed inside me...

it didn't matter to them...
i was still accused of
preying on people
and offering them
false hope...
but i was able to
turn it around
for myself at least...

it didn't matter to them
not one ounce of it...
but the lesson i was
able to realize
was that
in the end
i had to make my
case as gracefully
as i knew how...
and did...
before i was invited
to exit
what they called
their portal
with a further diatribe
(paraphrased) that...
i was out of their
league and should
leave before the "hags"
[direct quote].........
...as i seemed like
a nice lady....

in summary
and with many
details left out
that you don't
need to hear about...
this left me feeling
battle worn and
scarred...

but

through this encounter
i was shaken awake
even though i had thought
i was enlightened before!
and i am thankful
for this lesson...
it showed me
how a situation
can present itself
so suddenly
that i, too, can
easily lose myself
if i allow things
like that
to happen again...

the trick here
was understanding
their point of view
even though they
were never going
to understand mine...

so did i add or detract
to the collective energy
that will shift us towards
that beautiful new
human experience?
i guess only time will tell...

i'm hoping i added to it...
and i am hoping that i add
to it daily this month
by recognizing
and learning from
the lessons
i need
to learn
to become
truly
thankful
for
everything
i have
and will have
in my future
moving forward
as a true and loving
spiritual messenger...

what-evah
buh-bye











i dislike these sayings
intensely
it's as though
someone absconded
with their enthusiasm
and replaced it
with a sarcastic
i really don't care...
the thing is
it goes deeper
than that...
whatever
really means
i don't agree with you
and i don't really care
what you think
and i really can't be bothered
to tell you what i think either...
and buh-bye
really means
you bore me...
i really can't wait
to get rid of you...
this is the
communication shorthand
that we are reduced
to today...
through veiled insults
we are told
i really don't care
about you
or what you think...
it effectively negates
the person
and makes them
feel small
and insignificant...
although
most of us
are equipped
with the ability
to sensor ourselves
when the situation
calls for it....
i wonder
if these words
have come about
as bad substitutes
for a more thoughtful
way of communicating
our ideas to one another
when we don't agree
and to circumvent
an argument...
surely there is
a better way
than that...
what is wrong
with saying
i disagree...
two simple
words...
but is a more
effective way
of communicating
that doesn't
negate anyone...
and as for
people i didn't
particularly
care for...
well if it were
me
i wouldn't
be in their
company
in the first
place
so there
would be
no need to
insult them
by the dismissive
term
buh-bye..














so what am i
thankful for today?
i am thankful
that i have
a loving family
who cares
what i think
and will listen
to what i say
even if they
disagree...
and they are
always glad
to see me...
i never get a
whatever
from my children...
and when i
leave
they tell me
they love me
and wave
goodbye as i
drive away...
without my
son and daughter
and my grandchildren
i would be a lost
soul...
they complete
me
and i
am so grateful
for their love
and understanding...
even when we
disagree
they are able
to tell me
what they
truly think
and that is
my gift
from god...
thank you
my darlings
for being
the lights
of my life...

i am thankful today
that my bathroom
didn't end up
looking halfway
like the one
in this picture!
[amazing by the way!]
well at least
with the basement
showing through!
we had a shock
during our
bathroom
renovations
last week...
there had been
a slow leak
underneath
the toilet and
the tub
that we were
completely
unaware of...
well....
at least i was!
the flooring
was so badly
rotted
that we had to
have a whole
new floor
put in!
it's funny
but not funny...
while i was
taking a shower
a while back
i thought to myself
i wonder how
secure the
floor is
underneath
this tub
and had visions
of myself
landing naked
lying in a tub
on the basement
floor!
this was
an aha! moment...
listen to your
thoughts...
especially
when you're
surrounded
by water...
water conducts
energy!
it also rots
stuff!

friends becoming family
posted 11/9

today i am
so grateful
for someone
who became
a friend
a long time
ago...
he was
actually
a student
at a theater school
where i was
the program
administrator...
he later
returned
to be
my intern
for one semester...
he eventually
became more
like a son to us...
the same age
as my kids
he came to us
for holidays
birthdays
weddings
and joined
our ever
expanding family...
we love him
very much
and he has
brought much
joy and laughter
to our lives...
funny how that is...
not of blood
but as close
to it as one
can get...
other lifetimes
perhaps?
there is a
recognition
there
and from
the first moment
it was...
i know you...
now living in NYC
we see each other
now and again...
and this was one
of those times...
short but sweet
24 hours...
but enough
to know
how much
we treasure
him
and
how
thankful
we are
to have
him love
us too...

assertiveness vs agressiveness
posted 11/10

"Happiness is a sunbeam... When it strikes a kindred heart, like the converged lights upon a mirror, it reflects itself with redoubled brightness. It is not perfected until it is shared." Jane Porter

being thankful is
a conductor
of happiness...
it encourages
one to think
positively
as much as
one can...
and with
positive thoughts
comes
a sense of peace...
and with peace
comes contentment
and we begin to
feel happier....
today i am thankful for
having the opportunity
to explore
different ways
of communication
and the ability
to understand...
to see
the benefit
of being
assertive
instead
of aggressive...
it is possible
to get one's
thoughts across
and still remain
true to oneself
without being
bossy or demanding...
it is more about
speaking about
how we feel
in response
to someone
else's actions
or words...
rather than
compounding
them
by accusations
against the other...
it is far better
and more peaceful
to tell them how
their actions
or words
make you
feel...
lessons, lessons, lessons
same, same, same...

ordinary things
posted 11/11

we encounter god in the ordinariness of life...
not in the search for spiritual highs and
extraordinary mystical experiences
but in our simple presence in life.
~ brennan manning

it has struck me
throughout this
exercise
that i haven't
noticed enough
the ordinary things
in my life...
it is so easy
to take advantage
of them always
being there...
and i thought
am i grateful
for these little
things that
remain a
constant
in my life?
had i not been
doing this exercise
would i have even
taken the time
to think about this?
probably not...
sometimes we
look for the
extraordinary
things that
only happen
once in a while
and then we might
feel grateful
and express
our thank yous
in relief
and perhaps
sometimes
in elation...
but it takes
more effort
to notice
everyday
happenings...
like the woman
who expressed
to me that she
was grateful
to have my
services...
her simple
thank yous
are always
appreciated...
but today
it was
really
appreciated
because
i realized
that this meant
i had provided
a good service
and she was
satisfied...
so i count
this as one
of the things
i am thankful
for today...
to be able
to recognize
that a simple
"thank you"
should be
revered....
and i am
thankful
for that...
you're welcome
will have a
whole new meaning
to me
from now on...

posted 11/13

every morning tell him,
thank you for your kindness,
and every evening rejoice
in all his faithfulness.
~ psalm 92:2 TLB

in other words
express thanks
for all good
things to happen
and they will...
it is the original
source of
the secret..
no big secret here
i've known for
forever
that it works...
the challenge for
all of us
to remember
and most especially
me...
is to practice it
on a daily basis...














i've been having
trouble sleeping
for quite some
time now...
my inner clock
somehow got
turned around
and my nights
became my days...
many nights
i find myself
still awake
sometimes at
four o'clock
in the morning...
this is not good
for the mind
nor the body
and it has taken
its toll recently...
a natural night owl
i have never
functioned well
in the morning
anyway...
but now it was
beginning to get me down...
enter the plumber...
[no his name is not Joe]
for the past two weeks
as some of you might know
we have been having
our bathroom renovated...
the contractor's schedule
is to arrive bright and early
at 8 a.m...
the bathroom
we are working on
is the one attached
to our bedroom
so my husband
has been waking
me up every morning
at 7:30
and i've semi-consiously
been transferred
to the guest bedroom
to finish up my sleep...
of course having been
awakened once
it's been
almost impossible
to go back to sleep...
i've managed it
on a couple
of occasions
but not regularly
enough to keep
me from losing my mind...
consequently...
for the past two or
three nights
i've been falling asleep
anywhere between
9 pm and 11 pm...
i am beginning to
believe
that my inner
clock is trying
to reset itself!
it's almost unheard
of for me to be at
my computer
early in the morning...
but for this exercise
most of my updates
have been done
in the morning..
and i am amazed
at the transition
taking place...
so for what has
been a real trial
for me
has turned into
a blessing...
i asked for a way
to get to sleep
(other than drugs)
and here it is
in the shape
of the most
unusual circumstance!
a classic example
of prayers being
answered
not in the way
one would expect...
thank you!

there are no coincidences
posted 11/14









i didn't get a project
finished in time today and
so for the inconvenience
to my customer i decided
instead of them coming
to me to pick it up
i would deliver it to them
after work...
by then, it was 6:30 pm
and it was dark, wet and
very foggy...
[almost like the dark and stormy
nights our grandfather's
told us about in stories]...
visibility was almost nil...
we live in the sticks
out here so there
were no street lamps either...
i had a hard time finding
the road and i knew
where it was...
after my delivery
i was coming out of the
back road to turn onto
the main road to get home
when an suv stopped
slap bang in the middle
of the road at the intersection
in front of me slightly turned
towards my road so that
she blocked both sides
of her road...
i suddenly realized that
she was trying to get
my attention and saw her
shouting something
through the window..
i was at a stop sign...
so i rolled down my
window yet i still
couldn't understand
what she was trying to say...
i suggested she get out of
the main road as traffic was
starting to come now
in both directions
and motioned for her to turn
into my road next to me...
finally she at least
understood what i was
trying to say [and who is
the elder of the two?]
and pulled up beside
me in the opposite
direction...
then i could understand
that she was looking
for a particular road
and seemed a bit
disoriented and confused...
she was bless her heart
probably in her late 70s or early 80s
in this big ole suv that almost
swallowed her up in the driver's seat...
so i turned around and parked in front
of her out of the way of any other
traffic on the side road
and asked her to wait while
i called my husband
[the expert on back roads and a quicker
way to get anywhere]
and find out where lincoln drive was
as i had no idea...
finally, after a few twists and turns
i managed to lead her
to the right road and left after
being assured she knew where
she was....
had i not run late on the job
had i not run late closing shop
[5 pm on fridays]
had i not had to make
the delivery i would never
have been at that place
at that very time
and who knows
where the dear
lady would have ended up...
it was a classical plan by design...
she was new to the area
and admitted to being disoriented
and was so relieved to be
back on her road again...
i've always loved the elderly...
and now i am
mostly classified
as one of them
by youngsters
at this stage in my life...
though i don't think
of myself that way...
as a child if i was missing
at any time my mum would
always say if you want to
find deirdre look for the nearest
old person and sure enough
i'd be at their home
sitting with my chin
in my hands listening intently
to what they had to say...
i might be that elderly lady
one of these days...
and in the same predicament...
so i'm really thankful
for the chance i was given
to be of help to the
dear soul...
there are no coincidences!

this morning i awoke
remembering the video

posted 11/17










i have been on a mission for a year now
to rid myself of the communications
conglomerate at&t...
and they are finally gone
[at least at my home]...
whooopeeee!
this morning completed
a year-long campaign...
i first turned in my cell
phone and signed
up with working assets
which are now credo mobile
their motto is:
we donate money to progressive nonprofits
we campaign for change
we oppose the iraq war
and they really do...
each year i get a request
to pick my three favorite organizations
i wish for them to donate
part of their profits to...
secondly...
i had my internet connection
my tv and my house phone
changed over to comcast...
not only was it cheaper
but the internet connection
is amazing!
and finally, i was able to
pay off my outrageous
office phone bill to at&t
after switching it to comcast too...
i went from over $100 a month
for just one line down to $20
a month added on
to my regular house phone bill!
we are now in the process
of converting our at&t
over to comcast at our other
business and we will
be done with them for good!
it might sound a little ingenuous
to thank god for this sort of
a blessing...
but believe me it is with great
thankfulness that i am finally
through dealing with this awful
company and it makes
me very happy...
so that's what i'm thankful for today!
special thank yous

i received this from marcia...
it is just what i wanted to say throughout this month...
so although it is a copy of an email forward
with a bit more added
i wanted to add it to my daily collection of thanks....
thank you marcia...

I AM THANKFUL
for my husband who is on the sofa
being a couch potato
because he is home with me
and not out at the bars...

for my children who have carved
out their own lives and are living independently
and are good and decent human beings
because it means i did my job well
and they will carry my spirit forward...

for my grandchildren who are the lights of my life
who are smart, funny and all beautiful
because it means they take after their
parents and that makes me feel complete...

for my friends who are honest with me
and tell me sometimes
what i don't want to hear!
because it means they think
their loyalty which never wavers
is meaningful and i would feel bereft
without it...

for my brother and my sister
who have been my companions
through my lifetime
because it means that i grew up
with a kind and loving family
and without them i would have no familiarity
or memories of days gone by
nor the kind of support
that only they can provide....

for the taxes i pay because it means
i am employed...

for the mess to clean after we have family visit
because it means i have been surrounded by
loved ones...

for the clothes that fit a little snug
because it means i have enough to eat...
sometimes too much!

for my shadow that watches me work
because it means i am out in the sunshine...

for a lawn that needs mowing, leaves that need raking, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means i have a home...

for all the complaining i hear about the government
because it means we all have freedom of speech...

for the parking spot i find at the far end of
the parking lot because it means
i am capable of walking and i have been blessed
with transportation...

for my huge heating bill because it means
i am warm...

for the lady behind me in church
who sings off key or the child who cries
through the sermon because it means
i can hear....

for the pile of laundry and ironing
because it means i have clothes
to wear...

for weariness and aching muscles
at the end of the day because it means i have been
capable of working hard...

for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means i am alive...

AND I AM THANKFUL

for the crazy people i work with and serve
because they make work interesting and fun...
           
AND FINALLY

for too much e-mail because it means
i have friends who are thinking of me...

Live well
Laugh often
Love with all of your heart!

we cater to cowards
posted 11/19


























back in the 70s i needed a dentist
so i looked in the yellow pages
and an ad flew out at me that said
we cater to cowards!
that was all i needed
and i've been a patient of their's ever since!
trouble is now my dentist has retired...
does that seem fair?!
he's the same age as me
i'm not retired so why should he be?!
he retired on the 11k it cost me
to get my teeth fixed and bridged
and capped....
i guess i'm in the wrong business...
in any event
i've spent the last three mornings
at the dentist's bright and early
but not bushy tailed i might add!
seems i now need a third root
canal so off i went to the specialist...
i chickened out by postponing
the root canal until after the holidays...
don't feel like spending 1k when
christmas is coming and the
goose is getting fat...
what am i saying?
my dentist is getting fat!
anyway....
today i am thankful that i still have
most of my teeth...
some supported by bridges
and caps nonetheless...
but i don't suffer with false
teeth like my parents did
and for that i am truly grateful...
now lord, i would really like
to be grateful if i could pay the bill...
so thank you in advance for that...

i receive so much inspiration from youtube
that i really must include my thanks to them
during this month of gratefulness...
they offer people the chance to show their
creativity and to get some real good feedback
for their endeavors and it's all for free...
unheard of these days...
if it weren't for youtube i wouldn't be able
to post my new movies every month on here...
and i enjoy that sooo much!
so thanks youtube.com
i think you're just great!
this video is so fascinating...

"Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted,
is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to
new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God."
Thomas Merton

today i reminisce a little and find myself thinking back to those childhood memories and the things
that happened for which i remember feeling happy
and contented as a child of perhaps only 9 or 10...
i loved going to visit my aunty doris who was my
mother's elder sister...
she never failed to give us me a special hug and
a great big kiss...you knew she loved you with all her heart...
walking into her bungalow in portchester was always such a lovely experience...
the smell of sunday roast cooking in the oven
and a table set for as many as nine or ten depending upon what aunts and uncles and cousins were coming that day...
i particularly became very close to her daughter,
my cousin shirley, who today is still regarded as
my big sister and as close as one can get...
we manage to see each other now and again as
she schedules a stopover here in the east on her
way to visit her son in california...
she is 12 years older, but we are so close
and she is such a blessing to me...
and my aunty joan (the wife of my mother's brother) who is now 86 going on 87...
i haven't seen her since her visit here for christmas and new year's eight years ago...
i miss her...she became my surrogate mum
and i love her very much...
so today i find myself thanking god
for three beautiful souls who love me
and whom i love with all my heart....

on the 26th dave and i will have
been married 25 years...

but from the 26th through the 30th we will be away..
so i would like to say now how thankful i am that
we have made it this far...with 12 years difference

my son was 22 at the time...
he and a friend were dunking for coins in the gorge..
damian decided to climb the rock face not knowing
it was made of shale which will crumble at the slightest touch...he climbed 40 ft. and slipped...
the rest is history...a broken neck, cheekbone, perforated ear drum, cracked skull, broken ribs and ankle, he survived to recount that fateful July.  He is now the proud father of three beautiful children with his wonderful wife angela and will celebrate his 39th birthday in a few months time. He was featured the following year in a re-enactment for the television show Rescue 911 which helped him tremendously to heal the post trauma (and me too!).....
there are no words to describe how blessed i feel
and how my gratitude never ends each and every day that he is still with us...such a beautiful spirit and the best son a mother could ever wish for....
thank you my dear dear god for allowing my son to be with us these years....
and in damian's own words
"thank you nanna and grandpa
i felt you by my side..."
