A Good Day is When....

A good day is when your grandkids come over with their mom and aunty and a funny friend  of theirs.  I went to the train station to pick them up and from there we came and had leftovers for lunch.  My youngest daughter took some leftover chicken and beef stew, added veggies and spinach, heated some tacos and wow what a luncheon we had.  A feast for kings and queens.  THe beef was my sister's own fabulous recipe where the meat does not need to be cut as it's so tender to perfection.  Family is all there is for me, especially now.

My friend spent the night before with me and  Before she left she offered to shovel the snow for me!  What a wonderful gift.  It totally reinforces the face that I have so much love in my life and so many people who love me in my life.  It lifts my spirit and the topper is that my grandchildren are here with me watching TV, coloring.  I take the opportunity to teach some Spanish to the my little Isabella.

A good day is when life deals us an experience that is joyful like the one I am having today.  It makes everything that is happening to me less painful and everything that effects me seem less powerful.  I love that I have this life with these children and this time in my life.  I love that I am filled inside with love right now no matter what happens tomorrow or even an hour from now.  I see this moment as a gift, watching my little ones watch TV under their snuggly aqua colored throws.

I am so grateful for this day and I wanted to share it with all of you.  As my daughters and their friend venture off to resale shop I get to share my home with the people I love and see them enjoy the house that I turned into a home with lots of love inside of it, even more because they are in it.

A good day is when...

A Seasoned Vs Old Person

Those of you who know me personally might be aware that I don't use the word "old".  I don't think that people should be referred to with a word like old and I believe that as we live longer lives we are wiser and that we can be looked upon as "seasoned".  For me the word seasoned means that we have lived a good life and that we have gone from one season to another experiencing life and the many ups and downs of it.  I don't see the word old as one that honors any human being for their acquisition of wisdom and the things they have been able to overcome.  I for one consider myself a seasoned man not an "old man". There are so many meanings to the word old but the one that I am not in agreement with is the connotation that older is less than and younger is more important.  Unfortunately we live in a world where youth is celebrated and seasoned people are looked down on.  The thought is that younger people are more attractive or that they are m...

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...

Visualize It, Manifest It.

Let me just excuse myself from the non-believers as I know you are out there and the mere idea of believing and then achieving seems silly.  If you are one of these people, you should stop reading now and simply not waste any time because if you don't believe in yourself then you will not understand how manifestation works.  This blog is not just about believing and then getting what you believe in but more importantly how to go from the thought of being your highest self to actually being your highest self. And so if you believe, even a little, keep going because this is about having what you want in life ether spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Here are some ways to get there: Setting Your Intention: The very first thing to do when you want to manifest something (joy, money, relationship) is to set your intention.  You can set your intention by speaking of what you want in a way that feels intentional. An intention can sound like this: My intention is ...
