ON LUGGAGE...


Got to Pack!
Don't ya just love folks with Luggage

Can ya believe it ... here I sit and the sun is already up... coffee finally ready ... and me and my thoughts are just sitting here thinking of packing of luggage for trip to DC.

Took this picture in Canada as it struck me funny at the time... thinking wouldn't it be neat if we could all just line up our "luggage" so neatly in our minds! LOL

Today's thoughts promise to be short and ever so sweet, like the lilacs soon to be in bloom along the east coast...

For those who are visitors of Lily the Black Bear and cubbie HOPE, they are sure to delight and surprise now in living color on video... Lily at times looks as though she will surely swallow HOPE and then just drops her with a thud to the ground. Visit them at http://www.bear.org/ and get your updates on their progress in Ely, MN.

Stepping and Stomping into spring is a wonderful time of renewal, of remembering loved ones... for many it is a bittersweet time, and a time that the "luggage" is emptied or just spills out... and dealt with too.

But it is also a time of movement... often the raw pain, has now turned into a scar, a shield of a survivor...
YOU ARE A SURVIVOR ~ YOU ARE A WARRIOR

Spring is a time to plant new seeds, to witness remarkable growth, experience fresh smells that life continues to provide us with. Every Day Is Truly A Gift.

You may want to pack a bag, be ever ready; the journey continues... as you continue in motion, in movement ~
You are renewing, restoring, remembering, re-building.

You may find the colors are brighter than ever before, the ground with more textures than ever before, the smells sweeter, the wind itself feeling like an old familiar friend as it touches your face.

INvest in yourself, invest in others honestly, with pureness in intention; in goals and in happiness, while taking your loved one and the memories with you differently; aligning yourself with your new found sense of purpose and your new way of relating to the world around you.

Your life has been enriched by the love of someone precious in your life; someone you have loved and been loved by through this lifetime. Now your life is to be lived to the fullest without forgetting your your important past... finding ways to leave the painful luggage at the curb, moving onward and upward as you STOMP and step lightly into spring ~ finding peace, harmony and beauty along the way.

The fire is going strong, its embers are hot. Sending thoughts on the winds and in the smoke to those who have asked and those who know who YOU are...
With strength in healing, with HOPE in fighting the fights, the warriors are with you, you are in the arms of the angels in all that you do... May you find comfort and added strength there...

Wherever you are and whatever you are doing....
STOMP,
               STAND FOR YOU, 
                            TAKE BEST CARE OF YOU

Walk In Beauty,
DRSES

Carrying too much emotional baggage can be burdensome. Thank goodness they only charge for excess baggage at the airport or we would all be broke. Have been casting mine off as I go. Can hold my memories in my heart and let the rest go to "lost baggage claim". Another beautiful breezy spring day today. Enjoying every little thing that blooms. I'm blooming too. Is there a better season than the one we have today? Love to all.
