It’s difficult for most of us to slow down at this time of year. I used to pride myself on my ability & knowledge in grounding myself, knowing when and how to create my calm. But owning a business, living between homes, spending hours and hours a week in my car, trying to keep house and business and relationships thriving … It takes its toll. As Bilbo said … starting to “feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread”.
I might not be able to slow the pace right now, but I will try to calm my energy 🙏🏼💫

As we approach the Winter solstice
the days are at their shortest and the
light is sparse.
Allow this period of quietude
to enter..
Make gentle adjustments
to your daily life.
Hibernating instincts are strong
right now, and we need to
act upon them.
Winter is a time for recuperating.
We need to follow the example
of nature,
she is quietly resting and
restoring her energies for the spring.
As the light diminishes,
we are reminded
to slow down and do less.
Too often we ignore
the invitation to stillness.
Winter is a time for waiting ..
The light will return,
as will the flora and the fauna.
In the meantime,
take a deep breath
And relax into the season
of deep rest ...

I am old and I just realized I still have so many unanswered questions! I never found out who let the Dogs Out...where’s the beef...how to get to Sesame Street... why Dora doesn’t just use Google Maps...why eggs are packaged in a flimsy paper carton, but batteries are secured in plastic that’s tough as nails...why women can’t put on mascara with their mouth closed... why “abbreviated” is such a long word... why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor yet dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons... why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections... and, why do you have to “put your two cents in” but it’s only a “penny for your thoughts” where’s that extra penny going to... why do “The Alphabet Song” and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” have the same tune... why did you just try to sing those two previous songs... and just what is Victoria’s secret? ...and do you really think I am this witty? ... I actually got this from a friend, who stole it from her brother’s girlfriend’s, uncle’s cousin’s, baby’s momma’s doctor who lived next door to my old class mate’s mail man...🤣🤪

People are getting CLONED NOT HACKED on FB. Changing your password does NOTHING.
Almost every account is being cloned.
One of your pictures and your name are used to create a "new" Facebook Account. (They don't need your password in order to do this).
They want your friends to add them to their accounts. From that point on they can write what they want under your name.

PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT A NEW ‘FRIEND REQUEST’ FROM ME.

Temporary. Everything, all of it, even the best of it, especially the best of it. We only have so many years to know human love, and do human things.
Love them, all of them, even the painstaking ones.
They, too, will not last. They are human.

They are the experience. The insecurity? The experience.
The heartache? The experience. The confusion? The experience. The joy? The experience. The risk? The experience.
There is nothing lost if we learn something from it.

Your willingness to fail is proportionate to your potential to gain and to grow.

The timer never stops running. All you will regret is not reaching harder for the things you actually wanted, while they were still in front of you.
