Christmas shopping. All done. I love the internet!

Finally all moved in and settled and ready for the holidays and the internet is ok.

Rearranging the furniture in my living room. It's been pretty much a warehouse in there for over a year - stuff I rescued from my Dad's house.

After Mom died and Dad decided to get married he set about just discarding furniture, etc. More or less erasing my Mom's taste from their house. He was set to get rid of things like her huge Lane cedar chest, several antique tables and the coffee table made for Mom by a neighbor of her parents. It was a gift to her and the top is parquet with wood inlay. She treasured this but to him it "was of no value" - meaning $$$$$.

Coming home to a porch light on, warm puppies and a smile.

I'm glad you were able to keep the things that your mom treasured.

Finally after 2 weeks of being in the same state as my nephew, someone finally told him I wanted a phone call from him.
I wished he'd act his age, hold a job, keep a dang cell phone turned on and support his GF and kids the way he was taught.
I love him, but he's lazy.

We're a bunch of violent meatheads that are only concerned with bettering others to prove our worth to ourselves?

*shrug*

I'm not a sports person, so I can't really say.

From my meditation this morning:

"If an individual has a calm state of mind, that person's attitudes and views will be calm and tranquil even in the presence of great agitation." ~HH the Dalai Lama

My counselor has been helping me work my way through things from my childhood. Most recently we worked with something that happened when I was about 7. It was the first (and by far the worst) incident of abuse experienced at the hands of my Mom. Since Thursday evening I have been extremely unsettled; having flashbacks and nightmares. Feeling a lot like a child trying to make its way through one of those Halloween haunted houses - never knowing what was going to pop up around the next corner or in the next room and the exit nowhere in sight.

During my meditation I was once again reminded of the owls who remained calm and steadfast as they waited for the strong winds to pass. Also of the bison in Yellowstone that stand patiently, belly deep in the snow as a blizzard rages around them.

Then I saw a stream of water winding its way along in that typical "S" flow pattern. Floating atop the water was a small feather. When it encountered obstacles the water stopped and pooled. The water only remained there long enough to accumulate the exact amount of energy it needed to surpass each obstacle, resume its course and carry the feather along.

How I wish I could say I was suddenly filled with some sort of instant peace/immediate resolution and now all is well with my world but that is simply not the case.

Rather there is a lesson to be learned. The water represents my life, the feather is me and the obstacles are my past, present and future. The obstacles will always be there and must be faced but are only temporary delays on my journey. For the moment my life is in one of the "pooling" phases and soon will move along.
The feather remained afloat and so shall I.
