Bears are BEARS are BEARS and are BEARS!

Good crispy morning, still dark but I just know the sun is goin to come up over these trees and shine brightly this morning...
HOPE you are getting ready for an OUTSTANDING day... wherever you are!

Got some great news from Mom yesterday,

she had her last appointment with the surgeon down in NC about the ole shin of hers!

It is HEALING GREAT

NO CANCER

NO PROBLEMS

SHE IS GOOD TO GO AND RUN THE STREETS

WOO HOOO

And
Olivia has her cast off!
She is now in a "boot"
for a month!
Can you say, "NOT HAPPY"
Nope she is not happy about this;
now she has to begin walking with this boot, it is uncomfortable and painful.
In two weeks she can go without the boot while in the home, but must wear it everywhere else.
No crutches; so now she is limping.
The frightening news:
Dr. says he does NOT like how the growth plate
in the ankle looks
and will re-assess it in one month.
WE NEED PRAYERS AND HEALING ENERGY
FOR NANA'S GIRL
More updates as I get them.

So, as for the day:

Those North American Black Bears are denning out there in Ely MN... well, most of them are anyway!

Our Lily and HOPE meanwhile have been hanging out in the low land of a dried up swamp area, leaving everyone worried and wondering if they will choose to den in such a place...So
Yesterday, I got on the Lily page, and encouraged all there to join me in some
STOMPIN for the bears... to collectively get that energy ramped up, to help our bears to move their bear butts up to higher and drier ground... 1.6 miles toward their previously dug den... and then if they want to roam, to play in leaves or lay around... well all righty then!
BUT at least they will be close to the den of choice where it is high and dry for winter...
Many are doing some STOMPIN around the world and sending that message, that remarkable energy to Lily and HOPE... That is some powerful energy!


We are "collectively sending energy via the wireless connection"... GO UP UP UP, to safer and drier ground...

Bears have a way of really letting humans know that we do not "own it",
we

"do not have control"

That's a good lesson to learn over and over!

Perhaps one day it will really sink in.

Many have heard stories of bears and birdhouses on the site

http://www.bear.org/

of folks just getting crazed as a result of a bear

tearing up or going after a birdhouse to get at the seeds.

I can remember living in Northern VA

and just loving spending my dough

on birdseed

only to get my blood pressure boiling when the squirrels would

"have at it"

creative little bushy tails they are,

doing acrobatics and making one

MELL-of-a-hess

in the process.

I would go out and buy the expensive

"squirrel-proof" feeders

feeling quite proud of myself,

locate them in places that no self-respecting

bushy tail would dare to try.

Happy and in control was I.

NOT

Only to look out my window or go out on the deck

to catch the little creative critter

hanging upside down, holding on by a nail

looking like a deer caught in the headlights

with cheeks bulging from the food he had been just been caught stealing

from the

steel enclosed

guaranteed

squirrel proof feeder

JUST HANGING THERE

and then

doing a

cartwheel to escape

and I swear I heard

that bushy tail laugh once

he swallowed his food!

Yep,

But out food and the critters will come,

fair game I'm thinkin.

So a bear with birdseed... they sure would have to eat alot of it to feel full!

Reminds me of baking cookies and leaving them out on the counter and telling the family to

NOT TOUCH

they are for company!

Good luck with that!

We all have those

bushy tail

and

Bear instincts

smell it, see it, want it.

Some just have better self-control

or

fear of what might happen.

Bears in the woods, birdhouse,

hmmm

don't see a problem with that, if I'm a bear!

I know

you are thinking birdhouse on a stick/pole/ expensive to replace...

But folks get frustrated about replacing them I guess.

AND THEN

folks decide in those human brains:

"I am in control,

I am smarter than the average bear"

and so they get very creative!!!

I would not ever suggest that we underestimate the intelligence of a North American Black Bear

as research and Dr Rogers is teaching the world.

So,

pictures are worth a thousand words:

Here we go:

Birdhouse on a "LINE"

HUMAN: "I'll never have to replace another birdhouse if I hang it on a line! This will be just great, no bears/deers/ critters, high up there it will be perfect. I'm a genius"

BEAR: "what was this person thinkin? Dude, we are fantastic with balance and tree climbin? Ever watch Animal Planet? We love challenges too"

BEAR: " Now let's see, I saw someone walk something called a tighty rope through a window somewhere once. Strong I am very strong.. easy - easy - haha"

BEAR" "OK, hand over hand, like those people in the Army, FOCUS, It's all in the balance and the desire."

HUMAN:

"haha, my birds and birdhouse are great up there"

BEAR: "How do you like me now, stretchin is good, man I hope this thing is full of seed n nutz"

BEAR:

"Weeeee, I have hit the mother-load, one thing about his human, he does know his string strength, I have to be sure and tell the clan about this, great fun, seeds, OUTSTANDING. Ok, better get back across there and outa here before human gets home!"

Under the protection of bear spirit

all things are possible, all things are wonderful

and

so

it is good!

NOW

One more picture just to make you enjoy this day even more...

READY?

I WAS HYSTERICAL IN THE READING OF THIS ONE!!!

LOVE IT I LOVE IT

Sure hope you enjoyed those pictures as much as I did today...

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing...

LOOK UP

Stand strong, stand tall

Life is a wonderful adventure

and you are the star.

The fire is burning brightly, sending thoughts and prayers on the wind to all that are in the prayer bowl, to all who enter here.

That is the HOPE

in

Healing Heartaches

Walk In Beauty
