~ROCKIN WITH THE RHYTHM OF LIFE ~ Are YOU?

Just Rockin To The Rhythm

 Nana's Girl On LIfe
And On The Clarinet
IN My Mind

What day is it anyway?
IT IS TODAY!
A GOOD DAY
A GREAT DAY
THE BEST DAY, at least to my way of thinkin...
Coffee? YOU BETCHA!
AAANNNDDDD, they're off! The four-leggeds that is... Gypsy has her little fuzzy toy in her mouth, still managing to bark though, greeting the morning; rounding the corner of the pool, hot on Jeepers tail...
there they go ...
round rite and tight... just havin' a party...
still dark
Ah, blessed be the day!
Well... did you see the comments of yesterday?
That is after you laughed yourself silly and just had to say... "NOW THAT WAS FUNNY"
Did you see the comment I re-posted of the Warrior Jill?

On this page, we often have intense feelings, thoughts, happenings and events going on with many... we sometimes have to remember the balance of life's rhythms in order to restore and renew... Healing ways are like that; they are intense with remarkable passion, color, sound and sometimes tragedy... But sometimes we have to rest, to restore and
remember to B r E A t h E...
Once we know the struggle, once we are involved in great battles, it is sometimes difficult to stand down... we grow used to standing strong for self and others! Particularly for others ~ it becomes our way ~ we are after all WARRIORS.
We also develop zero tolerance for "BS" it seems...
sound familiar? 
Got an itch? Well Scratch it for goodness sakes.
 aw yes, you are feelin me on this one... I can tell!

The Rhythm of Life is spectacular ~ Mother Earths drum is beating within all of us ~ Listen... dance to the rhythm... dance to your beat, in your time, within the circle of the greater circle of life... CELEBRATE



This goes both ways my friends, Is the rhythm of your life frenetic, spinning so furiously that one day collides with the next?
Barely have enough time to draw a breath and the day has turned to night and again to another whirlwind, action packed day?
Or, do you drag yourself out of bed, no plan for this day. Long hours that you can not possibly fill with anything notable. Looking at the clock a thousand times and wondering why time is standing stock still? Will this day NEVER end?

Two extremes.
                   Both lacking balance.
                              Both experiences exhausting.
Whether you suffer from too much activity or too little excitement in your day, you do have the power to make whatever changes you desire.
The rhythm of life ebbs and flows. Healing Heartaches tells stories of that ... people just living their lives and BAM... lives forever changed through tragedy, illness, loss, grief... and healing hands, ways, thoughts, prayer, tears and triumphs... Balance found but lives forever changed... sometimes changed for the better through the struggles and the gifts received from the other side...

 Sometimes there is a very real need to match it’s pace opf all that happens all that goes from one extreme to the next... But usually we set the pace.
 Make it what you want and need it to be.
If you find yourself running at break neck speed, never catching up, just STOP.
Take a deep breath.    B   R   E   A   T   H   E
 Have you become swept up in unnecessary doings?
 We are human beings, not human doings.
Keep that in mind.

On the other hand, if we are bored with our life, looking forward and looking back all seems the same… no special highs, daily hum-drum day after day
That’s no way to live.
{WANNA BORROW THE FOUR-LEGGEDS?} they will entertain, amuse, and get you into the swing!!!

"It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up -- that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had." - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross



Make your move
Embrace the change you want to see. C'mon you remember Michael Jackson singing "Man In The Mirror" you remember my thoughts about that, you remember me encouraging you to take a "really really good look in the mirror and to look often"... be that change you see deep in your eyes...

 The sun will come up, and it will set; THE tide will roll in and it will roll out ~
 Choose how you want this day to look, to feel; choose how YOU will
 REACT TO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT HAPPENS... remember my rack n pinyon???

 Need a break, take one.
Have too much time on your hands, ramp it up and jump in to the action, crank up the music.
Make a plan.
 Get yourself together and take a few baby steps today. Start your engines. HOPE your battery is fresh ~ jumpstart if off a friends if need be ~
OH yes... remember many many moons ago when I told ya, "don't take any wooden nickels"? Well that was told from experience, handed down from Granny... took a wooden nickel or two a few months ago even with lessons learned... No regrets for the most part, just laughs overall ~

Do just one thing today that you will remember tomorrow as worthwhile.




The right and good rhythm of life flows seamlessly. It hydrates our souls, our hearts, our very essence ~

 It offers us opportunities to work hard, rest well, play often, and we too often forget that time is a gift that we spend moment by moment.
So treat it like cash in the bank, jewels in the vault, marbles in the jar.
Know where it is going.
Save some for you, spend some wisely, on what you need to do, some on what you feel you have to do, charity, gifts, blow some on pure unadulterated FUN,  and the rest will take care of itself.
You know, interest, inflation, stuff like that

This idea that time flys, or drags, is only a perception of time.
Time is constant, time is relative.
24 hours in every single day, rich or poor we all are blessed with the same amount each day we are blessed to live. Thnk that will get me a seat on Oprah?
As AWESOME as we are, we can’t fit 36 hours of activity into the day, and we should not squander this precious commodity called time by ignoring it’s value.


Find a balance, your balance. Body-mind-spirit ~
Move as the rhythm of life creates necessity.

Respond when you must, but do not allow yourself the misguided notion that time controls you.
You are fully capable of setting the pace.
Creating the rhythm in your life that allows you to accomplish all that you are capable of, and at the same time, allows you to apply the breaks when it seems that someone else, some unknown force is standing on the accelerator.
      There are no little space aliens making it happen.

We are either in charge of our time, or we have abdicated the responsibility. Let's not give away our personal power ~ We are Warriors ~

So let’s be better stewards of time.

Let’s be fully engaged in the rhythm of life.
 Each day, every night.
                                 Create balance.

You are worth it.
So whether you need to STEP IT UP, or SLOW IT DOWN, you have a choice.                You decide.
Now remember we all were given the same 24 hours...
so what are you going to choose... what you goin' to do with yours?  OHHHH ok, maybe this will help!

This hit home today...I am soooo busy these days at work. I could work 10-12 hours a day 7 days a week and not get caught up. It is just "Crazy Busy"..(there is a book by that title...). Remember to breathe...yeah...that's the ticket....breathing is a bit difficult today, as I am sick, ..but I am breathing...and any day above grass is a good day, yes?

I keep trying to remind myself that I'm not saving any lives here at work. If a customer has to wait one extra day for an answer, so be it (in most cases). Interesting how every one of my customers thinks they are the "only" or "most important" one. Well, I'm going to turn that around today. I am my most important customer!!! I will treat myself today as I treat my customers.....seeing to my own needs. It is Friday, and there is a LOT going on...but at some point tonight I will be sitting in my hot tub, something alcoholic in hand..relaxing, trying to sweat the cold out of me...so I can be healthy to go OUT tomorrow night!!

Blessings to all
Lizzy

Dr. SES, just had awesome experience with going to see Shrek in 3 D. Two boys was happy and it was a fun time. Later went out to eat and laughed and had a great time. No fusses, no ugly words, just plain old fun with 2 great kids. Your words of wisdom is great as usual. I am glad after all of these years I have found my space and practice not taking tylenol for anyone else. Its a good place to be. The day was great and what else can I ask for? Peace and good will to all. Weather nice and I have a little boy spending the night with me. That will be fun. He is now waiting for the computer to be at his disposal. Keep up the good word of wisdom for all of us who need to STOMP.
